Vlad this is the first interview I ever seen with you that it's seems you learned some new things DL hugley is so awesome!

[@Runmindrun]

I’m going back and watching this and really appreciating the skill in which DL answers these questions. Vlad’s line of questioning is obviously tweaked in a way that it makes it possible for you to lay out some pretty crazy info but if you think, and know what you came here to do, like DL...You can give the audience and amazing show while really showing the good side of your character. He killed this interview.

[@samoanpride9247]

It’s crazy because I know someone who knew him first hand back in his banging days. And they said DL was no punk and was with the shit. Took fades and all. But to hear him speak on not being able to murder and take away love ones from people I’m glad he stayed true to himself. So many who grow up in the hood find that out when it’s too late and they’ve already committed the unspeakable crime. I got so much respect for DL!
