--------
In this clip, Vlad discusses his involvement with the Tupac mixtape, "Rap Phenomenon," which was awarded Mixtape of the Year. From creating mixtapes to helping solve Tupac's murder, Vlad reveals he had to detach himself emotionally to achieve unbiased results. DJ Akademiks touches on how people feel a personal connection to Tupac due to the energy and messages in his music. Vlad shares that same sentiment, likening Tupac to Bob Marley, both of whom stood for a struggle. Vlad sees Tupac's music as a soundtrack to struggle rather than just popular music. Vlad also touches on a personal home invasion incident, revealing his decision against testifying in court because he believed they "were even." He explains how understanding when to stop can prevent turning a victory into a failure.
