Vlad loves the music, he loves the culture...but its not his culture. When this is really part of your culture you recognize and are aware of the range and quality that exists beyond pop culture. Its always funny when people dont place people in their top 10, that people in their top 10, place in their top 3.

Not taking that XXL Freshman cover was one of the most important decisions he's ever made in his career .. When Hov tell you skip it ... you skip it. Benny and Jay cut from the same cloth.
