Watch Full Interview: • Aries Spears on Kanye,...
Part 16: • Aries Spears: I Wish I...
Part 18: • Aries Spears & Vlad Ye...
--------
In this clip, Aries Spears and Vlad had an in-depth discussion regarding the nature of narcissism in successful individuals, specifically spotlighting the legendary Muhammad Ali. The conversation started with Vlad admitting to being narcissistic, which turned into a debate about whether or not narcissism is a necessary trait for those seeking success and capturing listeners' attention. The conversation pivoted to Ali, revered as one of the greatest boxers in history. Aries argued that Ali's self-confidence shouldn't be equated with narcissism, and his brashness allowed many black men in his era to feel proud of their identity. Vlad pointed out instances of Ali demeaning others, an action often associated with narcissism. They closed with a discussion of other historical figures, showcasing different manifestations of confidence and aggression in their personal journeys.

Says the guy with 380 comments on Vlad videos

[@lynx0808]

Vlad needs to recognize that individuals are drawn to his platform due to the convenient manner in which he has curated the latest hip-hop news. He has successfully established a platform that attracts guests whose insights we value greatly. I want to acknowledge Vlad's distinct style and consistency; however, that is where it ends. Vlad, it is important to understand that we do not visit your platform for your personality or your personal viewpoints. You frequently speak over your guests, exhibit narcissistic tendencies, and possess an ego that often eclipses your empathy. Furthermore, it appears that you may promote agendas aligned with your own ideologies while believing you're always right. You should take a moment for introspection and consider why we continue to visit your platform, as well as why we occasionally contemplate not returning. Acknowledging these aspects may lead to a mutually beneficial platform for all.

[@JELIFISH19]

Vlad does have classics though. But Vlad also has a different kind of vibe. He interviews the same people over and over again. We already have these people's stories. After your 2nd interview, we're pretty much watching two friends talk about random topics. If it's the first interview, he lets the guest speak because he's talking about their life story.

People throw the term "Narcissist" around so loosely in society. You can have certain personality traits of a narcissist without actually being one.

You guys are looking at the 1960’s with a 2023 perceptive… of course you can say ‘Ali shouldn’t have said what he said’ but he sold the fight to be bigger than what it was and overall Ali had a name or gimmic against every opponent he fought. And He did later apologize to Frazier a few years later.
