Watch the full interview now as a VladTV KZbin Member - / @vladtv
Part 6: • Symba on Calling Out F...
Part 1: • Symba on His Father Go...
--------
In this clip, Symba reacted to the passing of Takeoff, and he revealed that he was his favorite member of Migos, adding that he was the heart of the group. Symba explained that Takeoff was “solely about the music,” and he went on to address people taking videos of Takeoff while he was lying on the ground. Vlad then spoke to Symba about doing Migos’ first-ever interview, and he revealed that they were putting together their mixtapes in the room. Vlad then asked which hip-hop group with 3 members has made as big of an impact of Migos today, and Symba pointed out that Migos started a new trend with their flow.
Moving along, Vlad brought up the concept of “checking in,” and they also addressed rumors that were floating around about the Takeoff incident shortly after news broke. Symba then addressed people saying that being a rapper is a dangerous job, and he explained that he doesn’t see it that way. Symba went on to speak about rappers glorifying not having security and being in the hood, and he explained that there’s an overall lack of empathy in the community. Moving along, Symba talked about the lasting impact that killing rappers have beyond just harming the individual. Symba pointed out how when you kill a rapper, you’re killing a business and making it tough on other people and their families who rely on these people for jobs and support. Symba said that there is an apparent lack of empathy in the streets, but it’s, unfortunately, to be expected considering the conditions people come from.

Vlad did a good job of cutting dude off from expressing his feelings to tell us again how he did Migos first interview. smh

[@TheSincereb11]

Its so annoying!!!

[@YourNorthFloridaRealtor]

He need to just interview himself, Jesus H Christ

[@corythegreat323]

Nigga threw it in there so randomly tho😂😂😂

He right tho

The way he broke down the ace hood style to meek was scholar. He's a true student.

[@khill1633]

Always seemed like to me they were so comparable style wise. You can hear both saying the others verse…

[@TkKirklandReal]

Bro trust me I appreciate that so much . The industry stole ace style and kicked him out . I hope ace sees this

[@kig4794]

@@khill1633 Yeah it was always brought up back in the day. early on, ppl would say they stole each other style when in reality it was really a Peedi Crack flow

@@TkKirklandReal yeah, crazy how they just forgot Ace Hood. I loved his stuff.

[@JboyTV313]

He answered that “name another group other than the migos” question quick af… 😂😂

Finally somebody gives Ace Hood his flowers for that flow!!!!!

[@TkKirklandReal]

Fact that mde me so happy. Goes to see people kno but are just bigger assholes

[@d.felixphoto2260]

The fact the Symba acknowledged Ace Hoods flow tells me he's definitely listening to music far different then others. I used to say that when they first dropped but I was told I was trippin. The Bone Thugs and 36 mafia comparison is low hanging fruit but to hear Ace Hood in that flow is understanding what really was out when they were influenced to rap. I don't think they listened to Bone and 36 as much as people want to admit because of their age

[@kiho847]

Almost had tears the way he saluted Vlad. Salute to this man's growth and wisdom; enough of me y'all go listen to his tape. Tracks: goat, blessings and sacrifices. The tape is golden

[@nawfam3208]

He will do great on a podcast. He speaks very intelligent and has a mind that young men need to hear

[@farmark193gmail]

Symba is a lyrical monster dude tell stories and give you knowledge I mean he definitely in my top ten Today generation music is trash but this nigga here bring us hip hop no capp I wish the best for this brother

[@bossladyb3628]

He was my favorite too... I'm going to miss hearing TAKEOFF right before he rip the MFN beat!!! Istg I listened to so many songs just to hear his verse. People don't understand the connection between artists and their fans... The relativity matter too

Very informative and relevant interview. Salute to Symba!!

Vlad relating his silly disagreements in the music industry to real life street beef is crazy!

[@blaqpharaoh7732]

😂😂😂😂

[@ThaAJ510]

Not really. It’s more of a lesson of how men should handle things. The men in our community are wayyy too emotional💯

[@ZimMill]

@@ThaAJ510 If DJ Drama Or One Of His Best Friends, Killed One Of Vlads Best Friends, He Wouldn’t Feel The Same About “Talking Things Out” Handling Industry Disputes Is Much Easier Than Handling Street Disputes Where There’s Already Been Tons Of Bloodshed Between Y’all… That’s Just Natural

[@ThaAJ510]

@@ZimMill real men solve shit with conversation and understanding. Yeah the situation is different fr but the messaging behind it is real shit. A lot of our communities are filled with dudes that are taught to be emotional by there mother and no real men around to show otherwise🤷🏽‍♂️

Symba is A Student of the Game!! I Hope he has much Success 🙌 💯

[@JstPF-93]

Love that symbas on here finally

[@JstPF-93]

And what symba said about being a rapper isnt dangerous is facts. It's the street culture that's dangerous, not being a rapper. Just was talking to someone about that.

[@freshwilliams1586]

If it Wasn’t for the Video the Public Wouldn’t Know What Happen Sad as it Is R.I.P TakeOff🚀

[@KKemp-bt6nl]

When Symba/VLAD says stop pulling out your phone to record, and use it for calling for help, I have been saying that for a long time. Some kinda way now everybody wanna be paparazzi.

NOBODY : VLAD: i did the first migos interview....

When Vlad heard Simba starting a podcast, off camera he said to him “If you wanna be on a platform where the executive producer ain’t gon’ be all in the mix, then come to VladTV!”

this is therapy for Vlad i am convinced.

[@famosofly142]

Symba a real one for giving Vlad his flowers.

[@vibeswithtsanders]

People acting like Bone didn’t exist is crazy. Though the didn’t create the flow. It was them that popularized it. That flow is primarily used in “for the love of money”

[@kdubbster]

Some People always try to rewrite history instead of researching past history

[@richiebuz]

Bone Thugs influence on mainstream Hip Hop is understated. They were rapping with triplets and using melodies before it was popular to do so.

[@LuxuryRoseMusic]

I'm glad he mentioned Ace Hood starting that flow that everyone ran with. Ace Hood never gets his credit.

People have been doing a chop flow since the early 90s. Do or Die, Twista, Dayton Family, Bone, Three 6, etc.The difference being there Migos and the other new groups don't change the pitch of what they're rapping and they have a deep south accent.

To answer that question about hip hop groups changing shit up… ODD FUTURE changed up a lot of things hip hop wise when they came vout and they was hella deep like Wu-Tang(ish)
