Vlad a diddy fanboy..
If you ain’t ask him about him and Puff cuddling, the interview is not complete
@@Beacon-12 How can he do that when all he does is talk about himself and try to prove to the audience what he did or does or how much he got or whatever like keep the show about your guest why is it always about Vlad and why does Vlad constantly answer all the questions for the guests like if he is trying to prove he has knowledge?
Glad I'm about to watch the full interview but I bet you didn't ask French about the picture with him and Diddy spooning but you always bring up the picture about Meek Mill and Diddy stop picking and choosing
There was no _Coke Wave 3_ mixtape. Vlad should have asked French to name 3 songs from CW3. I guarantee you that he can't.
CW1 and CW2 dropped in 2009 and then _Coke Wave 4_ dropped in 2019. They could have just named it something else and it would have been fine but instead they decided to piss on the legacy of the first two. Many of us OG fans who've stayed around legit stopped listening to French Montana's new projects after that. The weak sauce he's been putting out post-2014 or post-2016 we tolerated, but this was the last straw.
French put in no effort on that tape. The flow and the bars were lazy on most tracks, and his autotune was horrendous. Autotune effects can be done well or done wrong, and they went with wrong. The mixtape basically wasted most of those new Max B verses.
CW4 sounded nothing like CW1 and CW2. The originals were boom-bap and G-funk, the new one was mostly Trap. The originals talked about drugs and shootings, but the new one didn't keep that theme, so why even name it _Coke Wave anything_ is anyone's guess?? They skipped over a whole volume and hurt the series' legacy from every angle imaginable and now French is gaslighting fans over it.
I like how he don’t throw nobody under the bus
Da homie said fuck dem 30 days 30 days for 2p how df ?.
Cuz he gay. Not gangster😂
These dudes tell n mess it up for the next generation. Kiss told about stash boxes😂
French remind me of a retired athlete if you wasn’t there to witness you just might never know
Real shit I didn’t really know of french until I’m pretty sure stay schemin.

I remember that dvd era.Boot legging was heavy,mixtape era was crazy.I loved them cocaine city joints.
Yes!!
The best. DatPiff was the SOURCE
What a time to be alive
Great interview. I watched it from start to finish.
It's wild to hear this story from French Montana. He a hustler
Hustle it's on the DNA of every immigrant bro, we leave family behind that depends on us and we gotta support them as well support ourselves, losing isn't an option
@@playipstreamsolutions5538 most definitely!
you have to respect this mf....came a long way
No we don’t have to , I’m from Philly to bro nobody bumping that nigga shit in the bity keep it a bean stop de
NAH, this Ninja spooning with Diddy, no respect to that MF
Ong , i don't get how he has many haters
@@dawicked2k8 that's what you got from this interview sis? 💅
If you noticed French don’t remember about anything NEGATIVE. It’s always “But we good friends now”. Take notes.
BLUF: Don’t hold onto negative bs. Especially if you patched things up. Move on
I noticed that. Like when he asked why his Dad was locked up. “I don’t know. I never asked.”
@@matrepharaoh8260😂😂 he smart asf
@@SportsFitness-j8ethink it’s more so that everyone is stupid
Vlad loves telling his guests other people are mad at him.
Lool unprovoked
Vlad tryna set French up for Tax Invasion 😂😂😂😅
Vlad Da Feds‼️🤷🏾♂️
Finally...a STORY TO TELL.. this is deep
He said “I’m blessed on another level I MADE IT OUTTA AFRICA” bro dropped the most realest bars ever for anyone who think they got it back in “the hood” Africa can show you a REAL HOOD
French don't remember shit, and he was never there. Cool dude lol
He was there bitche uuu was pimpin'
French Montana never took the baits, looked bored and agreed to keep things moving. French deserved more roses than he gets
That was dope. Shout out to the OG French Montana. Bro came in as an African immigrant and built up an American dream.
Shout out to Vlad too for supporting the bro. That’s real hiphop!
Vlad ALWAYS tryna include himself into something smh what a damn CORNBALL lol
Can’t hate this guy no matter how much you try.Ultimate hustler with a little luck.Respect
Always loved this guy, he came a long way❤
You need to be very gifted to spend 30 years in a country, and not learn the local language lol
That’s normal unfortunately. Most older Moroccans/turks and arabs dont give af and they will never learn the local language
You ever try to learn a second language, it’s hard AF I’ve been teaching myself Spanish since 2020 and still not fluent
@@stevemill8959 bro, I speak two foreign languages, and it didn't take me 30 years to learn them, but 6
@@Darkest_Soul_187 how many millions u got from that? Stfu
It’s harder if you immigrate to a place as a full blown adult, with no prior knowledge of the language of the country you move to. Some people learn anyway , but many don’t.
FRENCH THAT GUY... met him back in his mixtape days when he came to toronto, handed him some smoke,,,,, he goes "ye just give it my guy" lol always on point
Battle for the bubbles is crazy 😂
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Sunkist got me dying of laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vlad we need this full interviews
The full interviews are on his channel for $5 a month, it’s worth it.
French swerved all that beef talk like a G
Why don't French get the Respect he deserves in this RAP game??? Smh He really lived that life, really was in the streets, really came from Africa is African!! Really been dropping hits,Anthems for over 15.smh
Because he is ass
Because nowadays the comment sections are full of trolls who are max 16 years old. Those kids are not used to real gangster rappers.
I literally just paused it and went and listened to that song. Now I'm back lol
Been a fan of French since he had the Ferrari scooter in his video. Huge fan. Inspiration. Keep shining
Vlad: How old are you now?
French: Mmm yeah
Yayo " SOD , swammies on deck homie" I was a kid and still remember that bar off the first coke wave
His “Diddy tales” 😂
How is it that every interview vlad needs to talk about himself and he is always trying to prove he got money or is somewhere in life now. Like wtf interview the ppl not yourself if you want to tell the world your life store every time we'll just interview yourself over and over.
Vlad got problems with everyone every video wtf
“Is that a Patek you got on ? Look at mine I’m doing great too” 😂
Vlad be asking borderline indictment questions 😂
Man people gotta stop with this sh*t they know they wearing a wire and being filmed soiys up to them what thay say bruh buy I get it bruh
He's the Po-Po
Yeah, well, what else is new?
lmao
Detroit Michigan here bro much love big fan big fan much respect bite down my jaw keep locking
So is there extra in this interview or were all the chop pieces the same thing
That mac & cheese with Sanctuary was the best mixtape I ever heard from French Montana
Mac and cheese 3 went crazy. Harry fraud and French are a combo made in heaven bruh
@@outkastkidd no doubt
Vlad, what happened to getting into the details of French's brother Zak getting deported?? I think it was at some point before the pandemic. French brought it up at the beginning of the interview and you said you'd get into it later on. So was that part cut out or did you just forget to ask him??
This interview was good but it's not "the whole story from start to finish", as you claim, by any means. Maybe you'll have him back on again in the future because there's a lot more but you need to know the questions to ask.
$5 a month buddy
lol
French: yh I got the patek
Vlad: I got one too
French: I have 9 houses
Vlad: well I have 8.
lol all interview it was this
Not really at all
VLAD! Vlad, why you didn't ask French about his fling with Angela Yee from the "Breakfast Club"? Yee was super into French, they would have made a good couple, but 2 cool-ass people can't be together. One of the people needs to be toxic and neither one is. Excellent interview, French is a Hustla for real.
It's like losing your left and right hand.. I felt that in my soul
way more interesting interview than I thought it was going to be.
French is a very humble guy ❤
I'm glad i knew about French from almost day 1. I was probably the only one in Louisville listening to French in 2009
Just watched the documentary, my African brother told my story through his story. Real hustler
In retrospect this interview should be titled "YEAH"
Brah…. VLAD, let the people talk.
Idk something is cohesive bout this interview one of Vlads best interviews
Idk why French gets so much hate
I feel you on that I’ll see you when I wanna see you not when you wanna see me I feel you
I personally dont like any of Frenchs music but he seems like a good humble guy. Salute.
Moral of the story is : French was never there
French is the product of how being solid will get you far 📈
Yo French did diddy give you that jumper 😅😂
Corny
Cringe silly yank
Every Favorite Survivor’s Hustler 🖤
Damn he said “like a Mexican” 😂
I was like damn 😂😂
We know how you got that French vanilla ciroc 🤣🤣 you went to that diddy party party 🤦🏾♂️
Light skin Kanye
Man vlad always comparing himself he funny
Vlad was talking to French like he knew more about his life then he did about his own . this interview was too friendly . vlad was too comfortable. Let the guest speak .
French actually gotta a real come up
u can pick your sins you however cannot choose the consequences... solid vlad
French is a real ass dude.
French Montana: at the time I knew a dj
Vlad: me too 😮
FM = ONE OF MY ALLTIME FAVS 💯
French and vlad came from nothing to legends Big up to the success and much more to come on the journey 🙌🏽🙏🏽
No Diddy comments 😁
Crazy how there could never be another french montana with the way rap has become now. I was out on 80k bail at 18 fighting my first bid while max was out on bail and him n french were active wylin.
This was the last of the raw real time in rap, the streets, and internet before it all destroyed eachother. Might have just been bc it was my young years and comeup, but i would never trade those times for bein 20 in this bs thats goin on now. Keep all this shyt.
I still can't get over him saying 15-20 ps is a RR in NY especially at that time 😮
My uncle got held in the 90s Jamaican no papers with 50 pounds of weed in the truck and he didn’t get deported either , someone took the case that was in the car just like French explained
@@renajforbesceoofmobay9814 not talking about the deportation part of the story talking about the time being offered and the time he talking about is early 2000s
The Diddy spooner himself 🤣
"How long has it been?"
"12 Years!"
MAD respect to you french my home country boy
Dope interview SHAZZAM BX
He loves ..."YEAH!" ...."I DONT REMEMBA"... "SO LONG AGO" LMFAO
After watching the interview with Joey Merlino, a real gangster, I can now see that all these rappers are straight up lying about their supposed criminal exploits
Vlad still be asking them police ass questions!
French Montana 👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Always about you Vlad…. Let these people talk please. Always about you Vlad, shut up and listen… OK.
look at him he looks healthy. i been watching this dude for 20 years.
you cannot take a opiate with an opiate blocker. You’ll get terribly sick and possibly could die. Suboxone is meant to take by itself. You cannot take a suboxone then go take a perc immidietly after. You have to wait for the suboxone to end which is different with everyone but usually 12-24 hours, then u can take a perc if you’d like without dying 😭🤷🏻♂️ shout out french
wtf 😅
Oh yes you can take enough and you break through the blocker. Believe me I've done it plenty of times
My boy said shellz. Super underrattrd
Good stuff.
12 years is more than a decade bro !!!
😂❤

1:47:37 "Like who bit you, a dinosaur?"" LMFAOOOOO
Djvlad next time ask french montana how he feel about chris brown and quavo beef.french mantana is friends with both of them and all of them profromance together and collab together.ask him if he can squash The beef be between them.ask him next please
😂😂😂😂
@@trevorjones4854 What are you laugh for ???
Even though opioids /opiates and Suboxone give you the similar high or effect, you’re never supposed to mix them or do Suboxone without waiting 24 to 48 hours until after you did your last opioid or opiate. Mixing them at once, as we heard, can have a fatal effect and taking Suboxone too soon after taking your last opioid or opiates can throw you into what’s called precipitated withdrawal. That’s where within 20 to 40 minutes after taking the Suboxone, it’ll put you into the worst part of the withdrawal you would have in parallel to how bad of a habit you have. However bad of a habit you have if you quit cold turkey and if it would’ve took you six days to get into the worst part of the extent of the whole withdrawal you would’ve went through if quitting cold turkey when you take that Suboxone without waiting enough time, it will put you at that worst stage of withdrawal within 20/40 minutes. It’s the worst withdrawal you could ever go through on opiates!!! It’s amazing how many people have had a habit for years and years and never know that until they find out the hard way!
Nope it's the other way around. Take enough percs u can break through the blocker. If you take a sub right after a perc you'll go into PWD, not the other way around. Stop spreading false info.
@@pneuma6421 is that your medical professional pain or your personal because if u got a weak ass habit u can but if u do dope / fentanyl especially shoot it no way ur breaking threw a blocker!!! What do I know though I just live in Cherry hill NJ five minutes outside Camden Nj n 15min outside North Philly /Kensington PA the home of heroin n traq dope

He's dad didn't just leave his kids and go back to his home country, actually his dad went back to Morocco because French grandad was dying, so french uncle which is French's mum's brother ended up robbing French's dad of a house he trusted him of belding it for the family while he was out of the country,he took him to court but the justice system over there it's done in , any way he went to the capital of of Morocco outside the interior ministry and set himself a light because Montana mum's brother robbed all his gold and passport that's why you couldn't get back to the us, he was homeless four years living under roof
Boosie was the first one to drop a DVD with the album in 2006
Ngl you coulda kept this one chambered champ
1:02:00 vlad a pc of sht he always trying to fcking trick people he tells french is then when you signed lil durk to coke records? french says i never signed durk-- kkkkulture vulture vlad says yeah i knew that he told me--- wtf is vlad such a slimy pc of scum for?
*VLAD- Curtis Wallstreet Carrol has been released from prison and he’s running a YT channel on investing in the stock market. Sway interviewed him in prison, which you posted on your channel years back. Curtis needs a follow up interview, have him back on! He has an insane story*
When he mentioned Chinx, French eyes changed up. He really fucked with him💯 R.I.P Chinx. Salute French real BX legend‼️🎯
