In a candid conversation with George Christie, DJ Vlad opens up about his complex reputation within the hip-hop community. Vlad acknowledges that when he first launched Vlad TV in 2008, many saw him as a villain due to his unfiltered interview style. "I was known as a villain in this space," Vlad admits, but notes that over nearly two decades, what was once controversial has become commonplace. He praises newer personalities like Trap Law Ross, who push boundaries even further.
Addressing whether he cares about being labeled a hero or villain, Vlad remains indifferent, emphasizing that such titles are just different perspectives. Looking ahead, Vlad hints at a major upcoming partnership with a globally recognized brand, signaling growth for Vlad TV. He also reveals his desire to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience, though acknowledges Rogan chooses guests selectively.
On nurturing talent, Vlad prefers collaboration over signing artists, citing successes like Tony Yayo’s resurgence. Vlad also weighs in on 50 Cent’s feud with Diddy, seeing it as personal payback rooted in past grievances.
Through his unique approach, Vlad continues to shape hip-hop media, embracing both praise and criticism.
