Quando Rondo's handling of his involvement in King Von's murder was the point of discussion in this clip with 1090 Jake. According to Jake, Rondo's decision to flaunt his role in Von's death, including recreating it in music videos, has significantly impacted his career, forcing fans to choose sides. The initial friendly relationship between the two artists only adds to the controversy. Vlad and 1090 Jake further mulled over the pressures rappers face to maintain a "gangster" image, suggesting successful artists like Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar achieved their success without adhering to this stereotype. They agreed that talent can elevate an artist beyond their image or background while acknowledging that, tragically, some resort to more drastic and damaging actions to accelerate their rise to fame.
