MC Eiht and Vlad discussed the tragic fate of many rappers who have been killed in their own neighborhoods due to their loyalty to their roots. MC Eiht shared his personal experience, emphasizing the pressure to maintain loyalty to his hood. Despite gaining fame, he frequently returned to his neighborhood, feeling it was more important to show loyalty to his friends and roots than to bask in the adoration of his fans. He recalled how he would pull up in an expensive car, adorned with luxury, only to hang out on the block, reinforcing his connection to his past. The discussion also touched on the destructive nature of this loyalty. Vlad pointed out the case of Michael Vick, whose loyalty to childhood friends led to significant personal and financial losses. MC Eiht noted that such loyalty can breed jealousy and danger, a stark reality many rappers face.
