Part 1: Vlad Tells Special Ed He's the 1st Rapper He Ever Interviewed in His Life
--------
In this clip, Special Ed and Vlad explained how no one claimed affiliation to any set until DJ Quik came out identifying as a blood. Vlad pointed out that things escalated with the advent of the internet, which allowed instantaneous broadcasts of content to millions, thus giving a larger platform for public feuds. He noted that, unlike in Tupac's time, where a musical response to a feud or disagreement required agreement from a record label and took time to produce, artists can now act immediately on their emotions. This speed and lack of barriers also make it more difficult to retract hurtful messages once broadcast. Vlad also pointed out that such escalation and disrespect have, unfortunately, become quite prevalent in the present day.
