Great interview. From hip hop to wrestling to racism in porn to paparazzi to politics to podcasting. I learned something on each topic. Van Lathan is highly intelligent.
He not tho. He not important in hip hop at all. He not mentioned. We know him but most don’t in hip hop. And it’s boring how he make everything about race constantly.
It’s crazy we’re getting to a point where Pac doesn’t even make the conversation but Nas, JayZ, Jay Elec and etc., etc. does. You can’t deny what Pac’s body of work and what he was doing for rap BACK IN THE 90’s!, did for the HH overall!! Let’s not forget Illmatic took 4yrs to create and EVERY major producer in the game played a part in that project.. that being said there’s no way you can’t tell me Nas didn’t unofficially have help with the lyrics also.. Something like.. “I was gonna use this on so and so’s album but you can have it”, or “maybe you should say this lyric, change this lyric, use this hook” etc.. I still respect Nas’ work but Pac put out NUMEROUS projects and made 100’s of tracks over those 4yrs, sending rap on a whole different trajectory!
It's crazy to me when they talk about great rappers in hip hop and throw names around like Kendrick, Kanye, and Drake, but gradually skip right over J.cole as if he doesn't exist smh...
Van making fun of white people and saying “you guys think you can debate rap with black people”That was followed by putting Juvenile in the top five 😂.
Van came on here with his “everything’s racist” chip on his shoulder (while being racist). Dude said wearing a Garth Brooks shirt makes Bootleg Kev racist, and then said him liking rap and liking meeting Rakim is also racist. Apparently if you’re white, liking another white person is racist, and liking a black person is also racist.
Im mexican from northen California and id rather listen to parliament and funk, tower of power, gap band! And im only 34! Up north all genres fuck wirh the funk!
Van sound weird talking about the LA club scene he definitely wasn't around back then, everyone was dancing or maybe it's because transplants be scared to turn up with the LA natives lol
Lol bootleg kev be watching the same shit as me! Add Bigger Pockets Podcast! Dope interview, about to check out Van killing Emmanuel acho... (Who is such a lame ass rich sell out)
Kisses love and hugs to fine ass pretty eyed Kev and fine ass so handsome and lit Van Lathan. South Texas in the house. My husband gets so jealous bc I get irritated when he interrupted me. F him...Ya'll are beautiful 🥰😇
Someone tell van that grand master kaz , is who birtherd rakim! I liked van but now idk! And calling out sway! Sway is og bay! Og bay people dont call out people for attention. They keep it player! Sorry van! Someone tag sway!
Van Lathan is an interesting brother, and I love his insight. However, deep down, I can tell he wants to be white. I've never listened to anyone who takes more passive aggressive digs at white people, and this is coming from an Ethiopian Canadian.
This dude from they kick him of tmz for his racist now he cant live without drake to put money in his pockets dude so obsession with drake it questionable for a man you love ride another back that all you can talk about is drake why you hate the man so much
I disagree with Trump, but he would not be getting disrespected by Israeli leaders publicly. He would threaten funding because he cares about himself more
Why is van being such a dick for no reason? Like we get it bro you worked for tmz over half a decade ago, not exactly the holy grail of music journalism
Kendrick isn’t consistent enough for me to put him over Drake, Drake drops every year almost twice a year Kendrick drops every 5 years so of course his music is going to have more substance because he’s had time to go over and rewrite things that’s why I’m excited about Drakes new album after his hiatus he’s going to take
Great interview. From hip hop to wrestling to racism in porn to paparazzi to politics to podcasting. I learned something on each topic. Van Lathan is highly intelligent.
Racism in porn is crazy 😂😂😂 but facts tho💀
The way Van has transformed from the black dude on tmz to an important figure in hip hop and black culture needs to be studied
What’s important about him? Especially in the hip hop world. He’s a race bater and a fucking clown.
Just gotta use your connections and be loud about your opinions
Naw I think he’s being tru to himself
He not tho. He not important in hip hop at all. He not mentioned. We know him but most don’t in hip hop. And it’s boring how he make everything about race constantly.
@@brianarmstrong5326*He’s not
*makes everything
Can't believe Kev addressed Point & Shoot. Van is a legend for that.
Im just here for the Lupe praise... he is the quintessential definition of a lyricist
Meechy Darko way better lupe is for people who drive 35mph in the fast lane
@@tekkadawn6685hater going hate😂
Boot leg Kev been in the hip hop scene for a min Mr TMZ hold ur self accountable to that 🤣🤣🤏
Your wrong Kev I’m in my early 20s Drake isn’t over Wayne to me idc what the numbers say Respectfully
Bootleg Kev will forever get my respect Lupe is the BEST at this rap shit
Yall need to do a monthly pod together. Yall funny as hell

@@DanRustlethen why are you here commenting hater
I like this duo verry much 👌🏾

I'm in the Ville right now. Icy finally melted.
@@lakersin556 Not with that BS prof name you ain’t 😂
I was born and raised in the Ville!
@@lakersin556I’m joking btw bruh.. Y’all traitors are taking over the city.. it’s hard to find a good Blazer fan nowadays.
I bet against all Northwest sports teams. 😊 I gotta go against the grain.
Really good interview. Van is always a good listen.
Will always have mad love for van!! Once he stood up and talked that shit to ye I knew he was a solid dude!!
Epic thumbnail 😂
Expert Opinion: MF DOOM is/was the greatest Emcee of all Time. Rest in Beats KING 👑
Lol your probably a emo goth white boy
I've been fuckin with Dave for a minute and he's top notch. Pyschodrama is one of the best albums of the last 10 years.
37:03 You can tell Kev didn’t want Van bringing up the Sheriff Point N Shoot 😂😂😂 Funniest channel, the be on Adam22 head 😂
It's crazy to me when they talk about great rappers in hip hop and throw names around like Kendrick, Kanye, and Drake, but gradually skip right over J.cole as if he doesn't exist smh...
Van- you need to give Dave a chance
Van started to say the 3 things a headline needs. He only said 1 of them them (conflict) got off topic. What were the other 2??
Van making fun of white people and saying “you guys think you can debate rap with black people”That was followed by putting Juvenile in the top five 😂.
It’s mandatory to put a Louisiana rapper in your top 5, if you’re from Louisiana.
@@GG-jn9fxcould have said Lil Wayne
Kev, Drake did talk about his momma and pops in his early raps, and his biracial identity too....'Houstonlantavegas' era of Drake got all of that
He trying to have a katt willams moment
Vans hatred for Adam22 has caused him to be racist 😂😂
Favorite all black cast movie, The Wood.
Shout out Van Lotion. Vanny went full Hotep but Kev was a good sport about it.
This is a banger its hard.❤❤
@14:00 Lupe Fiasco is the ONE!!!
UpScale!!!!!! You not lying!
The anointing matters. Nice🥰😇
Van was tryna press Kev but I think bro a real hip hop fan.

Van brought it
People who say Drake doesn't talk about his life in his music are willfully ignorant. It's the coldest and laziest take in hip hop.
Speaking of Yeet.. Dope hat big Kev🫡
'The Ride' on Take Care is the last time i 'heard' Aubrey Graham.
It was Ricky the Dragon Streamboat!!!! And I’m not even a mega wrestling fan
Van trynna set up kev to say something racist is the funniest shit eve lmfaoo
Im mexican from northen California and id rather listen to parliament and funk, tower of power, gap band! And im only 34! Up north all genres fuck wirh the funk!
He's talking about Alexis Texas.
Yall let the N word come through but sensor all the other curse words...I can't respect that.
1 of 1 or 1?
Cactus T 😂😂😂
Van sound weird talking about the LA club scene he definitely wasn't around back then, everyone was dancing or maybe it's because transplants be scared to turn up with the LA natives lol
Yo he didnt say iiwii sports

Van literally just likes to argue 🙄 NOBODY: ........ VAN IM THE SMARTEST MF IN HERE
Van is too condescending, I’ve always found him kinda a cornball
🎯 Same here

One of the whitest black men I no always making it racial🤏🫡
😂 haters 😤 going hate, haters 😂
@@yomrap6931😂 haters 😤 going hate, haters 😂
One of my fave hate watches. Van lathan needs to have some kids before he completely loses his mind
Fuck you....but you might be right
Y’all left out Joyner Lucas
Stark raving liberal Van Lathan
20:18 man Van trying to shit on kev like kev hasn’t been doing this for a while I like kev over Rosenberg
Kisses love and hugs to fine ass pretty eyed Kev and fine ass so handsome and lit Van Lathan. South Texas in the house. My husband gets so jealous bc I get irritated when he interrupted me. F him...Ya'll are beautiful 🥰😇
Van and kactus kev
What’s up with the lefty gunplay interview?
Van as a guest is alright n all, but dude thinks he's way funnier than he is and thinks he's more genius than he actually is.
Yea this is weird I had to check out comments to see if other people felt the same
Maybe the Adderall had him overly confident
😂 please Van is the guy that is about business, he is amazing and he is not perfect he is a man ♂️ point 👉 blank you haters 😂
@@Keef_Doe😂 hater 😡🧐🤔😂 Van is the best 😎
@@prpride77@Keef_Doe 😂 hater 😡🧐🤔😂 Van is the best 😎
I thought Van was kinda disrespectful during this podcast. Bootleg Kev is prob too nice of a guy to tell him to stfu
Point and shoot is an incell hes got no maiden
Dude is a 🤡 I’m from sac we all know he’s a bih and the police
Ex TMZ host to Now HEAD TROLL OF HIP HOP 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤏
Van is my guy but he has to learn to shut up just a little like dude be answering his own damn questions😂
Elzhi is way better than Lupe will ever be.
Kendrick fell off years ago
He waz never on
Drake is the best end of story
Someone tell van that grand master kaz , is who birtherd rakim! I liked van but now idk! And calling out sway! Sway is og bay! Og bay people dont call out people for attention. They keep it player! Sorry van! Someone tag sway!
Van thinks he is a hip hop expert just because he’s black 🤷
Van Lathan is an interesting brother, and I love his insight.
However, deep down, I can tell he wants to be white. I've never listened to anyone who takes more passive aggressive digs at white people, and this is coming from an Ethiopian Canadian.
Bootleg kev IS hip hop. And Many other non white people agree
This dude from they kick him of tmz for his racist now he cant live without drake to put money in his pockets dude so obsession with drake it questionable for a man you love ride another back that all you can talk about is drake why you hate the man so much
Great conversation until he started repeating American propaganda about Israel.
What makes Mr. TMZ think his opinion matters so much when it comes to hip hop?
I disagree with Trump, but he would not be getting disrespected by Israeli leaders publicly.
He would threaten funding because he cares about himself more
Trump 2024
Van gay then
