_______________________________
In this clip, R.A. the Rugged Man talks about the quality of music and performance quality. The conversation builds off of DJ Vlad querying R.A. on social media sensation Lil Pump. R.A. admitted that he's not familiar with Lil Pump or his music and that in order to offer a fair assessment of him as an artist would have to delve deeper. Particularly when it comes to performing. R.A. said he'd have to see Pump on stage for at least an hour before casting judgment. He also believes that rocking the stage is a connection and energy the performer has with the audience stating that someone could have a terrible song but rock the live performance.
R.A. also breaks down the psychology behind sampling or remixing familiar tracks. To R.A. the familiarity of a record lends itself to being listened to more if there is a sample most people know. He pointed to MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" for its use of Rick James hit "Superfreak" and how he used a similar tactic when freestyling over Taylor Swift's track. The familiarity mainstream America had with Swift's original made people listen to R.A.'s version.

Like your interviews that I've seen...just stumbled across this one now and I never heard of lil pump either ha
I feel like Vlad constantly tries to convince people that these mumble fucks are good.
Nomad602 fuck yeah
Old ass nigga
Hes gotta interview them kids eventually. Why bad mouth a potential future interview?
XxScArEcRoWxX1 I doubt they'll do an interview with him. Doesn't seem like they give a shit about Vlad sticking up for them
he does sum you dont kno how to do🤷🏾♂️
Vlad saying lit is cringe af
Dawg Gawd A lotta people saying 'lit' is cringe af
Lil Fruity Vert Agreed.
Agreed. Vlad is played out
Cringe af is becoming cringe af.
Imagine him saying "Litty"... fuck when people say that I want to choke them unconcious.
Dj vlad spends so much time defending garbage
he's clueless, killing the culture
@Brick James I never disputed that but on the flip side he supports a lot of crap, I support virtually all of RAs opinions and think he is a proper representation of real hip hop where these days if we left it to vlad we'd have lil yaughty and shit getting too much air time, although I do agree with his has illmatic opinion, but it pretty much starts and ends there, I prefer nardwar, he can interview without sounding like a snyde
@Brick James maybe you're right, I only know him from mixyapes and these interviews, I'll reserve judgement and dig a little deeper bro
VLAD is 44 years old listening to 'Lil Pump'??????
Grow up.
If a 44 year old finds Lil Pump fun they need to have lived their life better
That doesn't make sense but thank you for your reply.
There is no way a 44yr old could relate to a Lil Pump record without being mentally challenged at that age.
If Vlad kids or grandchildren enjoyed the record which created a fun moment between them then I completely understand but if a fully grown man listened to a record by Lil Pump and thought 'hmmm i like this' then they are severely lost.
dd so if a persons fun is running around molesting lil kids then your saying we should let them have fun... Stupid people logic makes no sense... Vlad is a grown ass man talking about listening to lil Pump, think about that? What club is playing lil pump, it sho ain't one where people 30- 40 years old hang at.
Same with DJ AK he 29 hanging with 16-19 year old niggaz where they do that at.. Nigga almost 30.
dd L
dd OK! Exact quote from you ... "If you're judging what someone else finds fun you need to live your life better" u didn't say or specify what fun had to be.. Then saying u shouldn't judge someone, you then turned around and judged me because I give u an Analogy that's harsh enough everyone judges it wrong and immoral. Like it or not hip hop has become African-American culture and if all we do is dumb it down and pump negative stereotypes into it then we as a people like it or not will be looked at negatively. I said nothing about liking dumb songs, I said where would someone in their 40's be listening to lil Pump at, it sure ass hell wouldn't be around other 40 year old...
My man rocky balboa is a smart man 😂😂😂
lmao
😂😂
LMMFAO.......... damn
Aaahahah
Oh shit.. he does look and sound like him
Vlad's taste almost as bad as Akademiks
Akadmiks is getting paid to promote these artist that’s why you don’t hear the major music outlets talking about them
Akadmiks is getting paid to promote these artist that’s why you don’t hear the major music outlets talking about them
Mikey Mic so true.
Dj Ak is sell out. Hes an industry bootlicker even tho they all constantly clown his ass in his face too.
It’s far worse
Music is not only vibe, vibe is not enough. For me the most important is skill, talent, voice, charisma, message, punchlines, wordplay etc.
Imagine sneak dissing Nas when you're saying pump is good lmao
Loool I picked up on that too. Vlad is trash
I hope lil pump vids dont start popping up because I clicked this video, he's not on my radar and I dont plan on it
If the beats are good, then give credit to the beat maker not the rapper! Vlad even got the game messed up lol! Shot out to all the beat makers, making these lil garbage rappers hot!
Tha Savage Right? How tf are they not making the millions?
Even the beats today is shit
They all the same
Black Piccolo I SAY THIS ALL THE FUCKIN TIME
But you also to have to pick the beat as well
Rugged man been a beast. Listening to his tracks for years now
Vlad always brings the dope underground dudes up to ask who a lil xanax bar and lil dump dude is, u know u dead wrong vladamir!!! RA can fucking rap man!
Vlad got trendy taste in music 😂 this man a lowkey follower
Willy Beeman nigga high key
Willy Beeman I mean he is a dj
"Sometimes a great rhyme and a great rapper could make something very simple very special" that's very beautiful..
Whenever vlad says lit i die a little inside
Bobby Snake 😂😂😂
"It's vibes, man! It's vibes!" "Sometimes choosing a beat is more important than what you're actually saying." Vlad has no clue what emceeing is about.
vlad is a fuckin idiot smh
Nahhh your just a old head
@@spideydudenof7085 I don't deny that. Lol
@@spideydudenof7085 you don't know rap, don't act like you do. Hip Hop has never been about solely the beat. Emceeing is about the words, Rapping is "about" the beat, Hip Hop is about it all... But Emcees came first. You can't take away the foundation and not expect it to crumble
@@MC_HorseChoker preach. That's what set hip hop apart from other genres and yet people treat it as them. When a poet said " we took it to the buildings", it was such a double edged sword.
RA is always right lol. Every interview I watch of his he’s making perfect sense
Vlad please don't say lit ever again, you sound so cringe.
why is Vlad tryin to convince us that today's music is good???
Ra is a hip hop legend
These R.A. interviews are fire.
Vlad was itching to say something about slim Jesus
There are a lot of reasons to be jealous of Ra, I can be jealous of his talent, I can be jealous of his platform and celebrity, I can be jealous of his beard. But the thing I was the MOST jealous of, is that until today, he lived in a world where lil pump didn't exist. Thank you for ruining it Vlad.
Beat selection is never more important than lyrics or content.
Yes it is. Hip-Hop is music, so you absolutely need to make sure you deliver musically. Not to say that lyrics aren’t important, but if the music doesn’t sound good, no one cares what you have to say.
mistahmst disagree. I would much rather listen to something like “Campaign Speech” by Eminem that’s literally just bars with little to no beat as opposed to some mumble rapper on the radio that has a fun beat but complete trash lyrics and only rapping about drugs/money/girls
RicoBeasty90 Eminem has countless songs about drugs and women, but that’s besides the point. If I just wanted to hear words with no music, I would listen to spoken word. I don’t understand why people think you have to choose between great production and great lyrics when there are plenty of songs that have both. The best artists know to pick the right beats and perform well on them, then we start diving into the lyrics. I would rather listen to a fun song that is well produced even if the lyrics are kinda lacking as long as the artist can deliver their bars in a way that compliments the beat than a “deep” song that is poorly produced and poorly performed. If you were truly a great rapper, the latter just wouldn’t be an option.
Depends on direction or purpose of what you're doing...
If you go for the "vibe" thing Vlad's talking about, OF COURSE the music is first cause you have to "beautify" a bit the shit that comes out of that kind of "rapper's" mouth...
If go for the really technical part of rap (with lyricism, skills, storytelling and all these concepts), sometimes the "music" part is left behind a bit (for example see some beat selections in Nas's carrier...one of the greatest lyricists of all time...if not the best...picked beats that were OK for him...)
So,
If you are on the first category I'm talking about JUST FUCK YOU!
If you are on the second category you deserve respect...
And if you're trying to find the balance or harmony between lyricism and beats the RESPECT you deserve is much HIGHER...
Cause that's a mindfucking thing to try...
MUSIC IN GENERAL IS NOT ONLY A VIBE THING! THAT'S GOT TO BE ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS I'VE EVER READ ON HIP HOP!
COME ON!
I can break you down ALL the elements and concepts of a hip hop record just to explain you why THESE RAPPERS deserve respect, but I'll overcome the UA-cam counter for most words if I start typing, for sure...
,,The dumb are must intrigued by the drum"
I love how R.A. gives these new age rappers "credit" because he hasn't heard of them or their music knowing damn well he knows it sucks lol. "Maybe lil pump has bars"....lmao nope he doesn't R.A.
Lil Pump have one song that have bars and that is "Welcome To The Party" if you look at his verse there
He def has bars…Xanax bars…eEsSkKeTiT
Little did R A know... that black thought was bout to drop a masterpiece of a free style a month later on that type beat and prove himself even more right hahaha
Music should always be analyzed.
Try having Immortal Technique, Capital Steez, and Ra the Rugged man in a room together.....alot of bars, and intelligent wordplay going on in there
Vlad continues to play Devil's Advocate for clickbait. That's poor journalism.
Vlad stop saying lit. Especially to a grown man. Trying to convince a man who owns Nike's older than that kid of that is rediculous. Also, his beat selection isn't really a reflection of the artist.
Anybody else want to put a thumbs up for R.a. but really don't for Vlad 😂
I love to watch vlad and rugged Man go at it, it is hilarious
I love Ra's commentary
I agree with R.A so much on this.
I'd like to know vlads top ten hip hop albums, I know illmatic is in there which should be expected to be fair, I imagine cringing at the other 9 though
I mainly listen to metal but I also love R.A the rugged man
My step-son asks me all the time “Have you heard the new “Lil / Young” (insert name) album?” I’m like “Naw... Who’s that?”
I have to always remind him “I’m 49-years-old, you’re 18-years-old... We ain’t supposed to listen to the same music!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
THIS is the guy Vlad needs to interview waaaay more....for hos OWN sake! Big Ups R.A.
Did Vlad seriously just say people don't listen to music to analyze what people are saying.............WTF DO YOU THINK HIP HOP IS VLAD?
That had to be one of the dumbest things I heard in a while, yeah when I'm listening to Slick Rick telling me stories or Melle Mel The Message, I'm not listening to what they're saying, I'm just vibing out to it..........
I mean god damn, I had to pause the video and take a minute to recollect myself, jesus christ and a half.
Vlad you’re embarrassing
Josh Rudd Vald is a cluture vulture.
He's a follower
these titles funny af
I love how on every video the comments is just people talking shit about Vlad and roasting him 😂
RA looks like he bout to shout AAADDRIIIAAAANNNNNN
Mumble rap sucks
I don’t know who lil pump is either
Beautiful Boy its that Gucci Gang Guy.
Exactly
Notice how Vlad talks real outta pocket when he's talking to a white guy versus when he's talking to a black dude or hispanic dude.
Vlad stay trollin this man
He's lucky. I wish I didn't know him either.
Also, why Rugged look like Rocky? ✊
LOL funny
The homie rugged
“Yo, Adrian...we did it!!!!”
I have recently heard of this lil pump guy....from a chris webby freestyle on sway in the morning. and this guy from work talks about "Gucci gang" still haven't heard the actual song nor do I intend to.
I jus pictured Vlad at A stop light next 2 me bump'n lil pump 😂 Foh
Its like going to a Mercedes dealer and convincing the manager that civics are better, Vlad the mumble rappers suck , don’t talk to real MCs about Lil Pump and shit, ur loosing respect.
Vlad just said Lil Pump show is lit jesus christ make it stop
Hate how vlad tries pushing Lil Pump on R.A. at the start, You can clearly tell R.A. does not give two fucks about Lil Pump and his child following being 'lit'
Bro I grew up listening to rock/metal and hip hop alllll my life. Bro never have I ever listened to metal without observing the lyrics too. The main reason I always loved metal was because of its anti systematic point of view. Very punkish, rebellious attitude possessed by Satan to put it simply. Very empowering and thought provoking.
Depends on what metal your listening to Vlad, most metal you can understand it.
Pump is a genius purely because he has blatantly admitted he can't read and is basically a hop skip and jump away from being mentally handicapped, and yet he had his 15 minutes, and it's arguable he had two of them lmao. His music may be the closest thing to being able to objectively call an art piece bad, but if you hate him for being some sort of successful, that's a reflection not on him, but you and everyone else.
Anyone else tapping the right arrow key whenever Vlad is talking?
It's call starting with a "HALF A HIT" LOL out the gate
If you ever want to check out a great underground song with RA and Biggie go listen to Cunt Renaissance. Early Biggie is so dope.
vlad is that old old dude to be sportin skinny jeans and double cuppin sayin shit is "LIT" haha I like how when he tried to do the same with Philthy in his interview like he did with RA but philthy wasn't having it lowkey
Rapper's Delight's beat was replayed by a band (like you said) and that track is still better than 100 % of that trap shit nowadays
NEXT EPISODE COMING SOON ........R.A..RUGGED MAN SMACKS FLAD IN THE MOUTH.....BE SURE TO TOON IN ......
Who?
Lil Pump! 😂😂😂 I’m done!
Sylvester Stallone is the man! 😂 He looks just like Stallone!
Yo R.A you transformed that Swift beat though - Like you said ealier in the interview about Black Thought.
Vlad apparently doesn’t know that sampling is a skill.... 🤦♂️ Jesus I can’t anymore with this guy.
That makes the two of us, I don't know who he is either.
No one cares about selling out anymore. Back in the 80s-90s, if a rapper sold out, he was ridiculed. Now, if he sells out, he's celebrated. In fact, selling out is no longer a concept. This is why people don't care about lyrical substance. Imagine if KRS would've made it big today as a young artist. People would've respected him for doing something with Taylor Swift.

I understood his opinion on this cuts once of the first things that drew me to Weeknd song "Die For You" , besides it being a great song, was that the chorus have a quick interpolation of "Feelin On Your Booty" by R. Kelly
I am a old head. I keep up with these young rappers. Some are lit and some suck
Vlad was looking for an entry to diss Nas again
It’s disrespectful to RA to even have this conversation with him
I have no idea either. Most likely never will.
They throwin buju under the bus big time🤣
Have no idea either.
His comment about Black Thought was dead on. Another person who schooled Vlad about Black Thought.
This whole thing has been a game of, Vlad makes statement of opinion, RA expands and gives better opinion from larger perspective, Vlad says no and makes another statement to try to go back to his original statement.
Oh man Dj Vlad is saying Lit. lol
Put this guy in power
People need to know this lol LIT is a term used when crackheads would get high off of crack...It's no surprise this new generation of rappers who rhyme about drug usage uses that term so freely lol man I'm surprised folks Vlad age are even delving to that level come on man each one teach one.....
+Tunnel Life Records (Stainless) It's the Truth lmao you're one of the many folks that use it....Sucker.....
"Beat picking is just as if not more important" is a ridiculous statement
"beat selection as important if not more important than what you say in your rhymes"
WAIT WHAT?!?!
hate that cop out always given to "rappers" nowadays, "He's not lyrical, he's 17", and? Kriss Kross puts these fools to shame.
A grown ass man saying "lit" makes my liver hurt
If someone cheers or Ebola doesn't mean it's good, shut up Vlad
I only got 4 RA songs on my phone. Can someone plz give me more songs to listen to
Just listen his albums
the sample provided the musical quality though. But taking a sample looking for specific instruments and constructing a completely new melody is as constructing an original sample. Because people are simply sampling the instruments, not the melody.
Vlad must have a fever or something having RA on.
Finally someone we've actually heard of and someone with talent
Vlad love trolling, any 17 year old getting a crowd jumping for more than 20 seconds is a good feat but an hour show or longer, good luck
You know R.A. was talking about ICP
Vlad needs to know when to shut TF up while his guest are responding lol
last year Vlad tryna use Lil Yatchy name for shits and giggles. next year will be some other out of the box rapper lol love it
Neither do I.
Seems like Vlad does not understand the difference between lyrics in rock/metal and mumble rap.
Metal vocalists SING. Which takes insane skill.
EVERYONE can mumble.
for example Gojira are not wordsmiths, they still have a message, but lyrics are not sung clearly.
But fucking hell there are not that many people who can sing like Joe Duplantier. It takes SKILL.
Me neither im 26...im an old head
bigsmilie07 me to Scarface outkast ugk pac mobb Depp Nas goodie mobb
I'm an "old head" and I'm 18
26 is old to you?
Kelly Lee lil uzi said 25 and older is considered an old head
Sober Hippy lol u wild
