Taxstone: How Isn't Iggy Azalea Hip-Hop? Most of Hip-Hop Isn't Real

[@MusicIsAWayOfLife123]

He has a point tbh

[@thagreatfrank3071]

Yeah he does…

[@Imhim247]

Real recognize real

[@MusicIsAWayOfLife123]

***** lmao

[@freshtodeath561]

My dog always spitting facts, listen to his podcasts.

[@mikeS-ow7lc]

+So Flo except when joe budden made him look like a kindergartener Lmao

[@TACOGOODLOOKING]

Man said "I didn't see it, i was in the street" #BeSafeTho

[@ThisIsRockyTV]

My fav part

[@donking8658]

+ChuloBadGuy loool thanks for the info

[@TheLakers2423]

+ChuloBadGuy lol

[@fabo36]

+Jordan Daley haha I laughed at that too....like damn bruh is missing out on t.v cuz he's out in these streets, fuck a Soul Train Award show

[@fabo36]

ChuloBadGuy yeah but didn't he say he missed the part where Erikah dissed Iggy? I don't feel like replaying this to see if he said he missed the whole show. Idc enough to be honest cuz haha Idk who this guy is, but I respect the points he made

[@EvilLeBron]

After Meek Mill saying he's not a gangsta and showing his whack hands...if Iggy ain't hip hop, Meek Mill ain't either.

[@bfree7497]

He said that for the judge. He actually did the stuff he rapped about in the past when he was young and dumb. He is still dealing with the after math as we all can see. He's a two time felon. He didn't get that magically. I'm not saying that to glorify it but I'm showing you proof. See I present facts not lame opinions that are drawn out of nowhere. The only reason why ppl like you are making fun of him is because of the Drake situation. Yall are wack for supporting Drake. At least Meek writes all of his raps. Drake can rap but he got lazy because he knows he's hot and Americans are dumb as hell and will accept anything. Meek was in the street battle rapping. He's straightened his life out now and there is nothing wrong with that. He has rap where he has talked about the prosecutor and his situations with the courts and his probation officer. So that's not fake. Why do you have to be a gangster to rap? There's nothing wrong with no longer being a gangster and yes Iggy can rap Idc.

[@mogul2962]

+B Free Keep speaking facts.

[@Harmceo]

+B Free I was with you until that last part of the last sentence. Iggy can't rap. Great actor but no. Too many live performance videos out there to prove that. She belongs in the pop category.

[@LDFenego]

+B Free You Smart

[@moneyminty]

+B Free You speaking facts but watch ya mouth about the 6God. Just cuz u a chick dont mean u cant get hit with the R.I.C.O

[@78percent34]

Vladimir is soooooo proud of that Slim Jesus interview lol

[@TheMylesSpears]

Lol I'm mad 😂

[@TheMylesSpears]

He real proud 😂

[@WestCoastDon448]

he made like 30k on it

[@Imhim247]

That's vlad favorite son, lol,

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

+WestCoastDon448 where's your source to prove that?

[@danielhall1226]

hip hop is not the rap industry or the music business. Stop calling rap hip hop. Hip hop is a culture and rap is an element of that culture. -Pause- Another slim Jesus reference.......?!?!? [exits video]

[@MonkeyKingEric]

+Daniel hall only authentic hip hop around is drill music

[@danielhall1226]

Clone Trooper Commander Doom Where are the b-boys, DJs and writers in drill music videos? I'll wait...

[@tevbuff]

I can't believe you just said that.

[@SuperStarASAR]

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WITH A BRAIN I SEE

[@avelanchex2]

Hip hop is NOT a CULTURE sir......it's a GENRE of music and like every GENRE of music, it has its elements.

[@Sue_me347]

Somehow I knew he would bring up slim Jesus

[@hughjaynis3136]

Who?

[@void2642]

+Hugh Jaynis MIKE JONES!

[@syedshah2642]

who?

[@moehammondmedia]

+Mac Nastee Who?

[@sixfoot7foot197]

+moehammondmedia MIKE JONES!

[@ramp622]

I gotta say this, when he says slim jesus is being "Real" he means he's being honest. Not every single person has to rob/steal/or kill for me to like them, im not a huge fan of slim jesus because his music is garbage, but that's not to say I don't respect him, not every person can be a killer, or a drug dealer. Slim jesus never said he was fake, he said he does not murder/rob ect. There is nothing fake about telling the truth. The genre of music he raps in pretty much makes him talk about the subject matter that he does, it's his preferred style of music to listen to, which inspired him to make music along the lines of what the genre is about. As far as actually doing the things he raps, he's just like 99% of other rappers in that sense, it's probably like 1% of all rappers that are actually doing what they're rapping about. You people seem to like it better when a guy fakes like he's really about that life, as opposed to someone who just comes out and says it, would you rather have a dude lie about what he actually does (most rappers) or have a dude tell you the exact truth. I'd rather not get fooled by a dude like rick ross acting like he's selling coke. And get it straight up. Just my opinion.

[@Rob8041289]

Vlad will make sure he get that Slim Jesus reference in there lol

[@SuperThug87]

+Robert Moore that white bastard gave him the most views

[@BPchannel100]

But slim Jesus manifested from a black website... Worldstar lol

[@IScreamedWolf]

+BP #SportsVlog but DJ Vlad is trying hard to keep that piece of shit relevant.

[@BPchannel100]

+Jonathan That's your opinion that he's a piece of shit, but other people like Vlad don't believe that he's a piece of shit.

[@MISTERMOODYHYADD]

MORAL OF THE STORY: Maino say he gone smack you..he gone smack you.

[@SoRealSoReal23]

Slim Jesus is real for being honest about being fake? Tax come on son.... You gone have to hold this L my G.

[@KeirBo]

+SelfMadeMan_ simp

[@cortion730]

He's honest for saying that it's just music/entertainment

[@jayb2175]

MetaBotsHM 1 haha and thats suppose to mean something? Oh sorry THAT'S lol

[@Theraiman616]

💯

[@jxshram]

"Almost at least a 100 threats over instagram in this last year with rappers and nobody has done anything to anybody" S/O The Game I feel he encompasses this quote year in year out

[@leetonholness650]

Damn this dude predicted the fate of Young Thug in 2015 😳

[@DeuteronomyKnowles]

Young Thug free! Who cares?! 🤨

[@IcarusReborn]

Ice Cube ran from a fight with Above the Law, and he even left his crew behind to get smashed on. Yet, he's made millions of dollars being fake. But according to most of you, you can't be real hip hop if you're not a real G. Probably 80% of the rappers today couldn't meet that standard.

[@IcarusReborn]

All Cube raps about is being a bad ass. And no one complains about him being fake.

[@IcarusReborn]

+HARRIS2820 What's being real or having lyrical talent have to do with success, when fake Rick Ross and non-rhyming Soulja boy sell millions of records?

[@jgodoy_]

This dude is right though 95% of rappers are frauds lol

[@KingBaggz]

ALL facts my nigga! S/o to Taxstone

[@bmc1437]

Dude got a point but Ik some of yall only heard Young Thug and real and commented

[@freshtodeath561]

People only pay attention to buzz words

[@everythingdivine]

+So Flo exactly

[@凍結數據]

Too bad that Young Thug is actually a real one, regardless of what Taxstone was trying to say.

[@dontaizda1]

That awkward pause from Vlad when he heard "I didn't see it. I was in the streets" lmaooooo hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dontaizda1]

On a serious note, if hip hop was ran by simple minded goons like this guy, hip hop would've literally died loooong time ago because all the talents would be dead or in prison and hip hop would've just suddenly ceased to exist.

[@dontaizda1]

+dimitris bright And how can this guy put so much stock in being "real", but praises people for being "real" about being fake? That makes no sense to me. But maybe it's just me. I mean, Slim Jesus is "culturally appropriating" a lifestyle or a certain struggle sort of speak...if that makes any sense. So you would think that a guy who's "in the streets" like Tax Stone, would find Slim Jesus quite appalling, would he not?

[@LazLuger914]

That's my new excuse for missing out on anything .. I was in the street lol

[@redkem80]

If Slim Jesus is being fake about what he raps about, how is he being 'real'?

[@RiskyRich_Gaming]

+redkem80 cuz he admitted not being about that life. He told the truth. Like all these new social media skinny jean fruits are saying, he kept it 100

[@JoeDirtisawsome]

Because he was being up front about it. He the only rapper that openly said, "this is all entertainment. I'm not about that life,"

[@Harmceo]

He don't get a pass. At least those rappers grow up in the setting they rap about. He talking abot a life that is noway associated with where and the way he lives. Its a difference between faking it and being a fraud.

[@LawPoppy]

+redkem80 dude you can answer that ya self common sense...

[@SalamiStayFly]

+GULAIFRESH lame

[@inyourgranmaass3605]

Look at what happened to.young thug taxstone wasn't lying young thug in jail for.possibly life

[@antoinedodsonsbandana5856]

Taxstone is a smart guy ☺

[@kylie1jfdh]

she can rap! yall just hate her cause she is a WHITE GIRL FROM AUSTRALIA and is popping right now! yall saying her voice sounds black, what is a black voice? im black and i dont talk like her.... bruhh! she aint no nicki minaj, but she can rap and loves it leave that girl alone man!

[@trillestjebronlames]

"I didn't see it, I was in the streets" LOL wtf

[@RealestGuyInTheRoom-]

I've said this many times! smh

[@davidolinger2185]

❤️Iggy Azalea❤️ she is a rapper

[@Low_pH]

but she's ass

[@realking4918]

He's Right.

[@RidyRed]

Ok. He needs to be interviewed regularly on VLAD TV. LOL! "Young Thug is real! He shot up the bus! I mean...... I'm not saying he actually did it......"

[@traprolex6086]

if iggy isn't hip hop neither is Nikki minaj . they both rap over pop beats

[@MrLongduckdoong]

WORD!!!

[@DELTABOY04]

he really spoke the truth

[@BHaki-ni6yd]

vlad asks some dumb and random questions sometimes lol...but dude is saying what I've said. How are people quick to tear down Iggy but don't say anything about TI putting her out there and backing her.

[@TexasMadePapi]

100% truth.. What does Iggy really rap bout anyway!?! Killing, robbing, shooting, stabbing, etc..... No she rap about what a lot of "female rappers" would rap bout, being a bad bitch, havin a phat ass, etc... Nothing different than Nicki.. Miss them days of Kim, Trina, Missy, Foxy, Eve & Remy.. No shade tho

[@jayb2175]

Finally someone talking sence!!! we need more real people like this. respect

[@arusha6]

He didn't want to say Nicki Minaj, but we get it..👍🏽

[@Tomose]

Im glad Iggy doesn't live in Australia now all of y'all are stuck with her lol

[@36Astroboi]

we need more taxstone on vladtv

[@GirlThatsMooch]

TRUE

[@moehammondmedia]

Well said bro.

[@elainemarylee]

And that is a problem with some of Hip-Hop. Rappers should NOT be fabricating tales about living the hard life. Be honest and tell the truth. There is nothing more cherished than honesty. Just look at the greats: Tupac, Big, Queen Latifah, M.C. Lyte, Doug E., Slick Rick, KRS one, and the list goes on.

[@JoeDirtisawsome]

This man is stating facts.

[@kardowalker]

Bro, everybody complaining that rap isn't real but check this out. Why is it that rappers who talk about money get more plays than their other songs talking about real issues. I even experimented with this and it was crazy. My song "Pull Up" where Im talking about getting the car of your dreams got more plays than other songs where Im talking about emotions and here I am like this why rappers are doing this, because they know rap fans like it even if they say they hate it. #ROEO

[@RJayJones23]

I bet Vlad had a huge smile on his face when Taxstone said "Slim Jesus is Real, Shoutout to Slim Jesus".

[@mjolden]

Tax made a point when he said at least Slim Jesus admitted he ain't livin the shit he raps about. Hip Hop hasn't been genuine for years tbh.

[@RealSouthShit]

Good interview !

[@86brando35]

People confuse their personal definitions of "real/fake" with things like "dope/wack". There is a significant difference between thinking someone is corny because you don't think they got bars like that, versus thinking they're corny because they're white and it seems more like assumption that people feel Iggy is targeted for her whiteness. I've never heard it brought up, but I have heard people say they don't think she can't rhyme like that. What hiphop "is" is very subjective though. You can't really argue that as easily as you can argue who is dope and who is trash.

[@DontStepOnMySteeze11]

Drop that tax stone interview on the podcast

[@gapugo98]

"I didn't see it, I was in the street" LMFAOO

[@PhntmStudios]

SLim Jesus prob Vlad son thats why he giving that nigh promo.

[@MrRippimpc1]

i was in the street

[@keithcozart7636]

realest interview this will be an underrated video and not get much attention but this is the truth

[@jayagainsthumanity]

Vlad always trynna bring up Slim Jesus in interviews

[@SI-cd7xs]

he's right, and no one in the comments can really put together a solid argument of why she's not hiphop.

[@beatsnextdoor]

finally vladtv viewers didn't miss the whole point of what someone is trying to say.i applaud you.

[@DDOMINICK]

Meek mill doesn't have ghost writers

[@crushyoprops858]

TRUTH YOUR BEST INTERVIEW VLAD

[@thagreatfrank3071]

He does have a point though!!

[@Imhim247]

He's keep it 100%. Mostly everything is for entertainment. Real life just sucks So, yeah, we can only entertaining by Fantasy with our thoughts.

[@Hov..]

Vlad ain't gon let this slim Jesus shit die down 😩 and hold this L Tax

[@ss-iz9px]

y? should he hold an L?

[@TheLakers2423]

+Smack lol

[@OmarScruggs]

Vlad told the Erykah soul train diss all fucked up and out of context. Vlad the type of dude to tell you someone else joke and totally fuck the joke up

[@belyke9684]

Merry Christmas Nyugga!!

[@ghost3337]

I'm at 3:22, I hear Vlad gearing up for a slim jesus name drop. Keeping his little guy relevant one interview at a time.

[@FromPoetryToRap]

Lmao why do I keep listening to the part at 3:10 'so it's like' where there's a deep tone under his normal voice, where in the rest of his talking his voice is just middle-high.. I'm stupid af tho

[@MacOne13]

according to this dude, being fake is being real

[@tommyyz2502]

no! admitting that you are not really living that life is being real

[@freshtodeath561]

+jack russell is the education system that terrible that these niggas can't understand a simple concept? Like damn

[@_2_first_names]

Did he say "Meek got writers".....somebody explain that to me please!!, what did i miss?

[@KiDDSOMfRADD10]

cause supposedly meek was trying to work with qm the dude who was helping drake at least thats what dj drama wife was saying

[@liljuan206]

Theres a few rappers who rlly live that life: Waka, Gucci, YFN Lucci, Shmurda, Kodak, Mozzy, Philthy Rich, Max B

[@atletikivan]

Well no mainstream artist is truly of the culture ... But let's be honest, honesty (parten the pun) isn't a prerequisite for art. All movies aren't based on a true story. But honesty is a prerequisite if you wan't your music to resonate with the people.

[@NotDouahou]

Finally someone is speaking the truth. This is a fucking entertainment. I don't give a fuck what you do in your personal life. Just give us good music.

[@TALKSICK1]

Stone on some Real shit!

[@deniseroyal1961]

so being violent is the only way you can be authentically Hip Hop?

[@billionairejr]

No living your truth is being real if more rappers came out and said I'm not bout this life but I'm rapping based off influence it wouldnt be a discussion

[@KontryBoy706]

Of course this video wouldn't be complete without a sLim reference

[@chirag77]

Defo has a point, back in the day.. If you talk shit you, you'll get smacked up.. These days it's all talk. Hip hop isn't real anymore

[@m_w501]

He Just Sayin' Thug Was In Tha Streets. Thug Got Stripes. Tha Mfs Hatin' On Him Aint Mfs That Be In Tha Streets. It Doesnt Matter How Many Guns Were Made. He's Talkin About Thugs Lifestyle. His Environment. Not Pickin Sides.

[@vortexninja0221]

Nas, Eminem, Jay, are keepin it real

[@GilbertLeon86]

He has a point but YOUNG THUG!!!! is real 😆😆😆😆😆

[@PhillySIG]

I guess ill keep rapping then

[@bigshaq12]

You should do an interview with both Taxstone and Charlamagne together

[@rcv9246]

vlad seemed so speachless

[@Shiraz186]

Vlad found a way to bring slim Jesus in the convo lol

[@z4fir]

*If I tell you I'm fake, does that make me real for telling you I'm fake?*

[@RadNicolice]

Slim is one of the realest rappers ever, Tax told it like it was.

[@arabionknight3524]

you make great points.

[@cwbusinessworks]

"Slim Jesus is real! Slim Jesus said I am faking." WTF...

[@Trill_I_Am]

Dj Vlad said ask him do he consider Iggy a rapper and Tax went on a mini rant about who real and who not. How Young Thug is real just because he brandish a gun on social media?

[@dc_amp8843]

Because you hear about a couple refence tracks for FEATURES and basically a throw away album people wanna discredit drake. Check his best work (5am in Toronto, Back 2 Back, 0 to 100, etc). All written and he writes for others. Fam it doesnt take a away form shit he has done

[@jamariomenesmith]

I knew Vlad would somehow mention slim jesus.....

[@justincotton7592]

He always brings up slim Jesus

[@haydenkurie9766]

Surprised the title didn't have slime jesus in it

[@deshawntavinson4433]

Why do people come out rapper so seriously about they lyrics in they song I dont see ppl comeing at movie stars about What they say its all entertainment yall need to stop taking these rappers so serious on everything they say

[@mogul2962]

Taxstone I don't know you, but you just spoke FACTS.

[@ABJWiseAndStrong]

I absolutely agree. Art is Art.

[@paulitv1158]

how many times is he blinking?

[@Darkwarrior562]

That's what I keep saying no one is real in hiphop really only a select few.

[@vvm954]

Yo he always has to mention slim Jesus in every interview

[@k27sweat]

He right, Iggy can rap whether they like it or not. Most of them are as fake as she is , the only thing that matters is whether or not you make good music!

[@VoyceAtlas]

voyce atlas: so vlad... what do you think about the war in the middle east? DJ VLAD: #slimjesus #interview #lotsofviews

[@johnmiles6147]

The diff is alot of these dudes such as TI and Gotti have done it so they can talk about it.

[@j2jnicols306]

3:31vlad had to sneak in the slim hesus reference smh

[@zanedietlin7645]

Like it or not, this guy is speaking truth

[@King_Mac80]

Tax do have a valid point

[@lazywoosh1179]
