In this clip, Vlad and DJ Akademiks conversed about the recent winnings of Yung Miami at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Yung Miami was celebrated for best hip hop platform two years in a row after releasing just four episodes in the previous year. The media personalities further discussed Yung Miami's victory and the impact of her work on the hip-hop industry. They touched upon the topic of nominations and the lack of recognition for their own work in the industry. While both agreed that some platforms were deserving of nominations, they also pointed out that others lacked impact and original content. They also questioned why platforms such as Rap Caviar were nominated, arguing that these platforms essentially just aggregate content and do not contribute significantly to the hip-hop culture. They concluded by suggesting that podcasts should be considered a separate category due to the influential role they play in today's culture.
