Part 2: Elliott Wilson & DJ Vlad Agree: Nadeska Shouldn't Be on Complex Hip-Hop Media Power List
--------
Elliott Wilson, a veteran in hip-hop media, sat with Vlad for an in-depth discussion about the Complex Media Power List, where both men found themselves ranked. The conversation kicked off with mutual respect, reminiscing over two decades of career intersections from XXL to the present. Vlad admitted his surprise at being included, citing frequent industry snubs, while Wilson praised his impact, suggesting Vlad should have been ranked higher. The duo then dissected the list of 25 names, agreeing that some placements felt undeserved while others were notably absent. Vlad argued that influential figures like Shawn Cotton of Say Cheese deserved recognition for revolutionary contributions, such as introducing Charleston White to the mainstream. Their exchange extended to praise for personalities like Jason Lee from Hollywood Unlocked and Adam22 of No Jumper, who, despite their significant platforms, seemed underrated.
