Young Dro on Meeting T.I. at 16 & Getting into Shootouts w/ Him: He Was a Real Drug Dealer (Part 5)

[@drethegiant6176]

I smiled during this whole interview. Good genuine energy and he never fails when he drop. I remember TiP saying in an interview "Dro can drop a hit whenever he feel like it"

I always enjoy the people that ask a question and let people answer that same question. Might sound simple but you’d be surprised.

[@walterlundy723]

Vlad is one of the best, that is why he is Vlad, however I want to shine more light on the positive side of growing up black, and less about the street side. Chances are, if you grew up in the hood, you did some stupid stuff growing up, but it was also full of great people who made you who you are today. Let's put more shine on those people. Those coaches who left the gym open, or who would allow us to hold the key. My middle school teacher who got to work an hour early everyday to open the computer lab before school. How fun it was growing up black, the comradery, how much untapped talent that is there.

[@Jahblessnomancurse]

@@walterlundy723the dude interviewing isn’t Vlad tho.

[@walterlundy723]

@@Jahblessnomancurse It's all under his umbrella, his name, his brand

[@Jahblessnomancurse]

@@walterlundy723 sure, thats obvious. What I’m saying is this particular dude doing the interview has a different style of interviewing compared to Vlad. Just because he’s doing it under Vlad TV doesn’t mean it’s one in the same. Vlad is notorious for cutting people off, rambling about himself, and injecting his personal feelings and experiences into situations when the audience would rather listen to the guest. This particular guy interviewing does his research jus like Vlad, but actually allows the guest to control the narrative.
