In this clip, Vlad and TK Kirkland discussed how NWA influenced the music industry. During one exchange, Vlad highlighted a point made by rapper Special Ed, that NWA had contributed to societal issues amongst the West Coast populace. While many disagreed, citing underlying challenges such as systematic racism and drug trade problems, Vlad suggested the group’s impact was complex, really changing music and the public’s mindset. TK Kirkland echoed this sentiment, noting that NWA had tackled subjects many were unwilling to address, such as police brutality. He also acknowledged how NWA had paved the way for modern rap artists like Jay-Z, DMX, and 50 Cent. Comparing music to alcohol, Kirkland commented that while it can influence people, each listener is accountable for their actions after consuming it.
