Part 1: • Matt Barnes: I Reverse...
--------
In this clip, Matt Barnes listened to Vlad lay out why he doesn’t fully support the “check in” mentality and what his particular issue with hearing Matt’s co-host Stephen Jackson promote it. Matt didn’t disagree with Vlad’s conclusion to hire professional security, however, he noted that sometimes that isn’t enough protection especially with the blatant disregard armed robbers have today. Matt said back in the day they used to just snatch chains, “now they snatch lives.”
The street mentality is an ignorant mentality. Always has been. Some have grown to understand that and have figured out how to distance themselves away from it. I hope many more continue to do so.
No kid coming up should be one
Some folks don’t gotta choice George
Say you from the burbs without saying it
And yet idiots like Drake and Chris brown want to overtly affiliate themselves with the street life while making millions. Especially Drake, who we all know did not grow up in that life.
That’s that new school street mentality back in day it wasn’t this ignorant
Stephen Jackson gonna be 50 years old checking in with teens
Lol lol lol
😁💯
Lmao!!!
Good one!
teens run shit..What do you mean?50 year olds dont run anything.We all know that
Imagine being a 44 year old millionaire checking in with bums
Right, I wouldn't check into check... I'm a 9 to 5 nigga, i aint checking into shit..
Imagine thinking $ controls everything lol
Those controlled by $ r simply able…
Right....
When Miley Cyrus starts checking in
Then maybe I'll think bout it
Lmao v lad don’t know shit about LA 😂
Checking in with teenagers smh
Checking in is straight up extortion. What happens when you check in and you STILL get lined up?
They act like other sets don’t exist lol. Nothin but extortion. And these niggas can’t even shoot. The stic bigger than them
Yea
@@Imchefgucci what happened to him?
You get checked out
very true cause not ONE faction controls the whole city, you would have to check in with ALL factions lol
A 50 year old man checking in with Teenagers
😂😂😭
Black people are clowns
Bruh Stephen Jackson sounded corny asf when he talked about that checking in after PNB Rock. Corny
@PaulieWalnuts and dumb af
😂
As someone who’s been watching Vlad for years, he’s mentioned how “I use ex LAPD for security” over 100x
Warning u niggas
That's the same thing as "checking in." Checking in is just using a different form of security.
Millions of time
@@highspeed4887 that's not the same thing. Checking is getting extorted by an illegal street gang
@@highspeed4887 it's not the same thing. Plus he explained the difference clearly
When i grow up , i wanna be able to take deep breathes and continue the conversation on the same level as matt barnes
It takes daily maintenence
I forgot Matt Barnes was here for this interview. Vlad be talking to himself 😂
Man I stg! I turned this shyt off. SMH
Always makes it about himself. Funny thing...Nobody gives AF.
@@nomadic90210 always just like interview yourself already 🤦🏾♀️
yea he wasn't pulling that shit in the sammy the bull interview tho
That what am saying folkkkk
2:15 Matt rolling his eyes like damn can I speak? 🤣
Fr😂😂😂
Lmfaooooo
Right Like I Thought This Interview Was About Me Speaking On My Homie Checking In 😂😂😂
If your a millionaire and well known person you should have security. It’s just that simple. Forget all that checking in stuff. By the way let’s try to stay out of the hoods.
Staying out of the hood completely as a successful black man is counterintuitive, you want to be approachable and give the people in the hood you probably came from motivation and let them know your status is attainable so they might grow up with or learn a different mentality
nah..I would not say stay out of the hood..You should not have to wear jewelry..
@@nickth3many ask all the homies that died in there hood that. 50 cent smart. Make millions move out the hood. And host charity events, games, concerts woth hella security plus a street team. Don’t go back to kick it, and smoke or you’ll get smoked!
@@nickth3many they can come to a event. Why would people come to the hood.
The last part of your post is the problem... it's not security. These "entertainers" want to hang out in the hood and look "authentic" while doing so.
45 year old man checking in with 15 year olds is wild
Stephen Jackson is too old and too rich to be “checking in”….
FACTS!!! He looked Goofy as hell
When does he find time to be checking in anyways.....
Rich niggas stay busy
He was just saying that on camera and media ran with it, he was going to kick it with the less fortunate
I don’t know about rich but definitely too old
He was just saying that for the camera and the moment, we take EVERYTHING and run with it
One of the very few times I actually 💯% with Vlad.
Matt look like he wanted to laugh at Vlad with the "call the OG" part. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Glad interviewing Vlad and Matt Barnes listening
The problem with checking in is that if you checked in with one person that doesn’t mean you checked in with the whole city. So what good does it do if you checked in with 1 person when there’s hundreds of other gangsters that might try to extort you
Nothing is 100%, but typically it's about growing a relationship with the person/crew you check in with in whatever area your at. Once you grow that relationship and you are around that group you are typically good. At the end of the day checking in is more about growing a relationship and understanding. It's much deeper than just a phone call and spending money.
@@daweeza42 just sounds like a bunch of hood bullshit.
The whole idea of "checking in" is that the person/people you checked in with are supposed to be so solid street wise that just off of the strength of you being connected to them people will not bother you or else they'll incur the wrath of someone that they dont want to beef with.
@@dorianthomas3284 yeah but there’s always someone bigger a badder. DMX, Fat Joe and Allen Iverson used to check in with Kato Rangel when they would go to Chicago because he was supposed to be the biggest gangster in Chicago and even he ended getting smoked.
@@dariog36th Kato was killed over stolen drugs/coke. Chicago is not LA none of those guys "checked in" with him they were his actual friends.
“I’m just gonna tuck mine in..”
-Red
Lol we saw how that worked
Right!!
😆
"I could call up whoever, and they'll send somebody"
Lol Vlad stay lying
Money moves ppl
No he's not. He been here long enough and has built plenty of relationships throughout his career, I'm pretty sure he can get protection from most people. But why would he?
@@KiLLahD48 lol ok Captain Gullible
@@KiLLahD48 - Vlad
@@NoName-cn3cp naw that’s pretty reasonable
In the words of Michael Corleone, "If history has taught us one thing, anybody can 'get got.'"
Checking in is for clowns
Tell that to quando homie
There's levels to this 💩 young broke one..

no
I didn’t know this a interview… you just talking, Matt didn’t even say shit lol
Wait a minute at the 4:06 mark Vlad said “Thank God” I thought you was Atheist big fella🤔😂
" I remember back in the day they used to just snatch chains, you know; now
they're snatching your life. "
Matt Barnes
i remember back in the day they used to snatch chains...NOW they snatching your life - Matt Barnes
This is a great segment of Vlad interviewing Vlad
Why don't we push for non criminal activity?! How about THAT shit!
Vlad be off sometimes but not this time. 1 cop with make a 100 gangsters scatter. That’s a bar and some knowledge. Another reason to not respect the gangsters who setting you up to get robbed anyways.
One cop will not make 100 gangsters scatter. Don't believe everything you hear on YT. A team of cops, with ARs, bulletproof jackets, training, yes.
😭😭who told yu that? Where you from shorty that ain’t how shit work.. maybe 100 lil niggas on the block
I think that was a quote from monster kody's book.
@@darkknightfromcali he exaggerated the number, but I'm sure you get the point. At the end of the day, gangsters want no issues with the authorities.
@@darkknightfromcali No, that's a fact. Let one cop car pull up and blow the siren or better yet let thise gangsters hear the siren in the distance about 1 or 2 blocks away and they will definitely scatter.
It would be nice to hear Matt Barnes talk.
About time Vlad said something that makes sense ..
1 Cop can make 500 Gangstas scatter ! Soooo much to unwrap in that one statement
Glad sure loves talking about himself and bringing every topic back to himself.
Man said “and I’ll explain” like we didn’t know that already 😂 boy you talk more than the person being interviewed lol
BECKY WIT DA GOOD HAIR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vlad are you the interviewer or the one interviewing yoself with just a guest co-signing lol
You gotta know where you are and what you are doing. Security alleviates a lot of problems but you can’t be arrogant with it either and think you can go wherever just because.
It's not being arrogant. It's called being free. Niggas trying to tell people where they can and can't go when they don't own it in the first place is beyond nuts.
@@leSure91 That's all the way real..
💯
@@leSure91 it is being arrogant .. thinking nothing gonna happen to you .. u think u that tough huh .. go into the jungle with 10 pounds of bloody raw meat around your neck .. u have the right too .. but is that a smart move ?
@@shonuff718 Bro, stop it. That jungle comparison is not the equivalent. It's arrogant that a bunch of broke bum ass niggas that don't own shit in their city thinking they can intimidate someone into "checking in". I'll come to your city and the next man city and shit won't happen because I don't move with that type of energy low level energy. I'll go wherever I damn well please. If you're scared then that's cool, keep playing pretend with these fakes ass gangstas.
Vlad right if I gotta “checkin” I’ll just call ex-military.
Vlad chill out bro we are here for the guest. You talked the first 2:30. Relax…
Vlad thinks that everyone should do something because that’s the way he does it 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Right like nigga you seen what happen to quando homie ain’t nothing wrong checking in
Yall 🤡🤡🤡🤡 for thinking this ok, how many country stars check in ? Rock stars ? White movie stars or stars of any other races ? The fact that we will hurt ours just because they didn’t “check in” with one set, and possibly still get hurt by another set but no one else has to because we know what will happen is flat out some 🤡🤡🤡 shit.
@@seangang8536 you a grown ass man getting permission from guys you don’t even know to be in a city they don’t even own….
@@seangang8536 you’re a clown
@@avonfettydale9166 stfu y’all think it a game out here
I could be a quadrillionaire and I still would never wear jewelry. Jewelry never did anything for me. Never quite understood the obsession with chains. If I were to every wear anything of value, it would be a high quality timepiece. I now don't wear them anymore since the arrival of the Apple Watch which are cheap and have a lot more functions.
Ok good for u but I bet it’s something that u do that 100 people would say they’d never do.
Lol that’s cap
@@205BeezyB Christianity and chains keep people in slavery. You sound like another lost Christian.
Nothing wrong with rocking a gold earring like Morgan Freeman.
Checking in is for street people it’s not. For regular ppl
vlad doesn’t get that
Barnes said it all: They used to snatch chains now they're snatching lives.
Love Matt Barnes. At real as it get. He ain’t no punk. He carved out a nice career fro himself
Cats will make folks check in and don’t own shit. That’s wild to me.
I smell the BMF flew me out story coming lol
Vlad just interview yourself already, you really love talking about yourself 😂
It was would be a funny skit for vlad to interview himself
I don't even fully understand what "checking in" is. Can someone please explain it to me. If I wanna go somewhere, I just go. And if I tell somebody, it's because I choose to, not because I have to.
I’ve never been a follower and never lived by street codes. Y’all can take that highway to jail or the grave. I enjoy being a husband and father and living my life without having to watch my back because of some street beef.
Vlad: Thank god…
Also Vlad : I’m atheist
It sucks to have to live ur life like that
That checking in stuff only applies to gang members. If you out of town claiming gangs originally from chi/la you should expect some type of extortion.
I'm glad you said that. I was starting to think that was some shit black men had to do...
@@sharonjo7630 hell naw lmao
can someone explain what check in means please? not a term ive ever heard here in Australia
They be making vlad check in in Calabasas 😂😂😂
Vlad speaking factz tho
I completely agree with Vlad on this one!!!!!!
He loves telling people that his security is "Ex-LAPD", like do you want a cookie white boy? 🙄
Vlad think is because he interviews people they are friends with him. He can’t call nobody except Boosie
Matt Barnes ran the mean streets of Carmichael at Del Campo High hahaha
I know he was never scared of anyone but this whole mystic that he was some hard street dude from the hood cracks me up
As father, Matt should agree 1000% with Vlad.
The only reason to be checking in instead of getting real security is you probably out here doing something you don’t need to be doing that you not comfortable having ex cops around you.Stak gotta grow up
Vlad is steady criticizing his moves instead respecting that this man is not here no more and his family is hurting
this hit different today 😔😔😔
Only person I check in with is God
Vlad said he got them members 😂
MATT TRYNNA BE BIAS TALM BOUT THE CODE CUT IT OUT 🤣🤣
Matt Barnes has that real nigga vibe when i seen him in Sacramento downtown
He seem humble
In Stephen's mind he needs to thinks he has enough respect in these places to just do whatever he wants. He just played basketball
matt added nothing to this convo
Was vlad expecting Matt to down talk Stacks? Lol
Vlad is interviewing himself at this point 😂😂😂
Vlad gets rich of hip hop but hates everything about the streets of hip hop
Vlad ain’t gonna say that Rick Ross the reason why got Security
If the only reason you checking in is for protection, then yea get real security. But if you tryna make moves in the city, you should check in
Matt Barnes gave the media answer
Stephen Jackson at 40 plus years old checking in with 17 year olds was embarrassing..
Vlad brings his guest in to hear him talk lol
Steph a goofy 😂 he felt so powerful checking in in oblock 🤣
You need to stay TF out the hood where you need to "check In". Why go where there's going to be trouble?
Y’all be checking in with renters lol
Vlad just bc you interviewed someone does not make them your friend. Why are you so weird??
Good point. Guess he didn't learn from Jamar and nick cannon.
Vlad thinks he’s that guy 🤦🏻
Man is this a interview???? Gah damn Glad.
Vlad, My first time in LA I stood at the universal Hilton,, The next time we were at some spot on a strip, I checked in with Mike Coles from Priority Records and he told me to stay indoors and don't come out. He will come to get me. He let me know I was in the hood and it would not be wise to wonder around. I guess I checked in?
How much money did he extort out of you after?
🤣nah just playing
@@Dnero518 None actually, He was a great brother. When he came to NY he brought artist to the east and he checked in with me. But in NY its a different check in. lol Hands UP! DNERO lol
You can have professional security AND still check-in...it's about showing respect when you step into someone else's section.
A section they own and pay taxes on
@@johnlawful2272 That would be logical, yes. But I'm talking about when dealing with the streets.
Checking in as a Celebrity is stupid
That fool said leave your watch in the car . Like breaking in cars aren’t at a all time high
The thing is, Stephen Jackson didn't do it for security reasons, he did it for attention
The code lol. I'm not from the hood but I've been to a lot of places without checking in and I don't even recognized most of these hoods. If u plan on going to bad areas that's something else
Stop by the park while they're charging their cellphones off the power line . Charleston white said they was living in the park
Stephen Jackson the same dude that recorded himself being in O Block and bragging about it
“1 cop will make ah 100 gangsters scatter”
And the big hand baddest gangster gotta follow orders behind bars…
Moral of the story think for yourself and enjoy your freedom
Checking in don't mean giving out money 💰
So you think those gangsters are gonna put their life on the line for you for some bud?
Look!!!!!! Vlad is Super Right.....
0:46 shots fired at China Mac
Matt kept it PG. Stood with his man but didn’t down play vlad opinion.
Vlad sounds fed up
Carrying will do more for you than checkin in every will
You got to check in using security and police you still got snitches around you.
What do you expect from Stephen Jackson seriously tho. He damn near 50 with an identity crisis
It's almost as if he he hasn't gotten to grips yet with being mid-40. I think he thinks he is till playing in the NBA
I'm a grown ass man, I ain't checking in.
SJ & MB are 50yr old boys. Plain and simple💯
Jack aint ever check in with Damu’s in LA until he got gray hair and checkered masculinity.
BTW everyone, Vlad has security in case you missed 250 of his interviews
