VLAD WAS SCARED TO ASK LYOR HARD HITTING QUESTIONS! Like he does with all those rappers putting them in a position to snitch on themselves or speak on things that make them awkward Vlad smh scared knowing Lyor is now a big time exec at youtube/google and can make things difficult for vlad channel Vlad avoided questions like Why Lyor gave Lupe Fiasco such a hard time with his deal? Why Lyor antagonized Murder inc. By putting up a poster of 50 cent on his wall? Why Jam master Jay who gave you Onyx via his JMJ label wasnt allowed an office at Def Jam? Why you blocked Foxy Brown from getting released from Def Jam if you had no intention of releasing her album? Why did you block the Migos and Young thug collaboration mixtape? Is it true you and Todd Moscowitz only paid Thugga a 45k advance to sign him from Gucci Mane? So many questions

[@lebumjames1373]

[@aaronbazil]

He was very guarded even though Vlad was vouched for by Russ. I can see why the interview was this short. There's no way Vlad was gonna get any candid conversation about any controversial music industry talking points. Aye, sometimes you take what you can get. Hopefully one day we can get an exec that's in his retirement to come on while promoting their memoir or something, to tell it all. That episode would break the internet.
