What do you think of this whole situation - Thank you all for watching and for all of the love and support. I truly appreciate it and I don't take this position lightly.
Excellent response 👏🏾👏🏾 Im one of the few who hated this breakdown bc im still mad at Drake for the freeing the slaves line but it was Justin calling it hubris that made me want to give him grace. Now, i realize Matt approached this like Aubrey did, they both missed the cultural impact. They both thought they were too big to fail. And how the turns have tabled! Because the 6:16 breakdown was 🔥! He can still do that again. But the crash out, the tweets and the personal attacks is not the path forward.
@@jeremyhecht Extremely sickening. The fact that he thinks he can talk to anyone like that, let alone Company Man... Who is the nicest, most genuine guy. Dirt showedhis real face, cannot accept the apology... I just do not believe or trust him AT ALLL. The way he talks about women, about Whitney shows he has no respect for women AT ALLL...... To speak on someone's life like that is chilling to me, someones partner, their internal dynamics especially when they don't put it out. These guys are all mini drakes. And 90% of his content is stolen from smaller youtubers without giving credit. I gave him the best comment till I bumped into breakdowns that were immediate but on smaller channels. This guy waits months to collect all the info, he is the ick
Wtd has been disrespectful and was right to apologise to a respectful man like the Company Man. He got way TOO comfy about the HiPHoP culture. You are an example of a respectful journalist and commentator of the HH media ❤👏🏾👏🏾 coming from a black woman, we trust and love you 😍
People need to understand Justin is not just an OG in hip hop analysis he’s a founding father. In his video he mentions bringing long form content to hiphopdx but he didn’t even mention all the work he did before UA-cam to legitimize literally analysis of hip hop. I’m talking before it was even common to analyze pop culture seriously. He was the first person I ever heard of doing anything like this back in the early 2010s when he would blog. To suggest he has no motion because his UA-cam following isn’t exactly reflective of all the work he does behind the scenes is crazy.
Yeah the disrespect was so out of line. The added context makes it so much worse. I only recently found Justin's channel and was intrigued because he's so clearly educated, wise and compassionate. As someone who's studied journalism I could tell he had a journalistic background. I had no idea how pivotal he was to this space until I saw Curtis' video reacting to the WTD crash out, WTD going over why disrespecting the Company Man was so shameful and now your comment. Good grief. No wonder everyone came together in his defence. Glad to see it. ❤
It’s crazy that you will get called a glazer for stating a fact. If Justin said this, he’d get called too arrogant. Facts are stats that can’t be manipulated
@@NaajiRahmbah you know what I edited that out of my comment because yeah. That is annoying and I actually don’t care if anyone calls me a glazer. Been following Justin for years. I actually didn’t even realize he had his own UA-cam for years. So I felt genuinely sad when he left hiphopdx. Luckily I found his channel but anyway. He deserves his flowers. Like you said, it’s just facts.
@@joelman1989 And this shows you, how clueless Dirt is. He is covering something he doesn't even know or understand. The way he spoke to Company Man I couldn't even watch. An I don't accept his apology, I don't believe him at all. He's sick and super racist but behind our back and will make a buck off the people. He's just ewwww
As a Black American F+-k him anyld you the ground he walk and the air he breaths,Black American Culture started with Black Americans not you or your race so go listen to your culture music!
throwing a hissy fit disrespecting an OG in the space racially, thinking youre bigger than him, and sniffling in your apology to save the bag, IS NOT IT
I mean he took accountability, what would you have him do then? If you just tell him to quit and grt out of here, you don't give a person an opportunity to learn or change.. he should continue to make content the community should judge and care and talk about the goods and the bad. Imo
To be honest I think he really is sorry and does now understand why his behaviour was disgusting and shameful. I believe the apology was genuine, but it's up to the Company Man whether he accepts it or not. Regardless, WTD should take a break and work through his issues before coming back. I think there's a future scenario where he adds value without being disrespectful and overstepping, but that time is not now.
@subzzee1218 Counting N words, are people really throwing a fit over that? Him counting? He literally told us he just hit control+F. He should take down a 3 hour video over that? People are taking that way too seriously. Go touch grass Not defending how he argued with the professor, but the idea that fight invalidates the entire FM breakdown is ridiculous to me. People are letting their feelings about the beef override their feelings of the video.
Thank you for chiming in on this. So many other culturally sensitive YT content creators will pay the price for WTD, because this is already a contentious subject. I hope this doesn’t make the professor or other creators feel awkward too! We value the takes, we value the investment and time spent, but just don’t disrespect in the process. Be a contributor, not a coloniser.
The Humbleness in your character is one of the things that make you amazing in this space with content and in building relationships. It’s authentic and should be used a guide for others who want to operate in this space. What a well spoken thought and amazing ability to reach out with love and compassion to help all those involved. Much respect king!
Nice take Jeremy. For me, this kendrick v. Drake battle was at one level the difference of integrity, morals, and culture. Dirts miss in my opinion was his family matters take came off as a wierd agenda to personally insult kendrick or the culture or even be unnecessarily selatious. He ruined a moment that should have been to appreciate Drakes perspective and efforts. I wanted to hear about Drakes efforts and the layers but could not get past about 20 min or so because he was so unnecessarily disrespectful.
I realy appreciate you reacting to this 🙏🏽. WTD's obsession with Whitney and speculation about her mental health was creepy and disgusting. He is actively trying to break up a family with debunked rumors! WTD's reaction to Justin was unhinged and FULL of racist dog whistles (including calling him stupid/ignorant 15 times). This is not even the first time he has gone unhinged on a YTer. He did the same thing to Cliff Beats a couple of months ago (Cliff has a video response on his channel). The truth is that WTD showed his true colors and we, the culture, responded according. He can go profit off of the traumas of his own culture, I'm done for good. Much love and respect for all that you do Jeremy ✌🏽😊
THIS IS ALL WE WANT. Someone who does an excellent job because THEY UNDERSTAND the assignment. Thank you for understanding the fact that you know a LOT, but you don’t know everything. That is where WTD fell flat. He believes in his heart that he can speak on the culture, ironically that alone proves that he shouldn’t be speaking on it. I appreciate you and your work. I don’t believe WTD apologies and think he NEEDS to leave the culture alone as all he done is microwave everyone else’s breakdowns (well until he started counting the n word) we don’t need/want him in our space.
As another white man in the space of Hip Hop media I’m glad you did a video on this. Moving with a lack of ego, with knowledge, with respect, and with intention is key.
Jeremy is the type of content creator we need to hold up as someone who should be the first through the gate! We so often let the culture vultures in, in way larger numbers.
Thank you so much for speaking on this topic. It is so important for us all to honor any culture that we are involved with. Unfortunately, African American culture is a byproduct of chattel slavery as our original African heritage was beaten out of us over time. The African American culture is considerably much newer than most ethnic groups and is intertwined with American culture at large. Because of this, African American culture has been monetized byway of the nature of American capitalism and adopted by everyone globally. As black people, we have fought to keep what is rightfully ours without the threat of others robbing and perverting our culture once again. We are not a monolith and our culture is complex as anyone else’s. Yes we produce music of all sorts some sub genres more toxic than others but we are more than what some of these commentators have tried to reduce us to. Thank you Jeremy for upholding the integrity and honoring the culture as a true ally. People like Adam 22, Vlad Tv, What’s the Dirt, and Andrew Schultz can learn a thing or two from you. ❤️🔥
Thank you, Jeremy ❤❤💯. The first episode of TBP, when you basically said that's not your lane, and Dj. Hed said that why I F with you. I knew you were one of the ones. You see our humanity and don't look at us as a stereotype/monolith. It is a blessing to make a living from your passion.
I get that we should lean toward rehabilitation and growth and building bridges, but I have to say that I think it’s wrong to say that he should go ahead and make Meet the Grahams. Frankly I think this guy should stop covering hip hop entirely. The mistake WTD made wasn’t a simple one, it wasn’t one anyone could make, it was the sort of mistake a specific type of person with a specific type of character makes. The way he conducted himself demonstrated such a profound lack of understanding of the culture at the heart of this art form and such a profound lack of respect for a black colleague that I think on the basis of that alone there’s literally no reason to listen to anything WTD has to say about hip hop unless he similarly demonstrates his growth in those areas.
As a black man, born and raised in Amerikkka. Lived in Jersey and California, a hybrid or transplant. I fuk with you Jeremy, have since day 1 fasho and glad you apart of our culture. Glad that you understand and add to the culture, you are one of the good ones fasho. Much love 💪🏿✊🏿
Just like WTD- we all said the same to him. The moment he made a mistake we ostracize instead of having a teachable moment.. WTD is wrong too don’t get me wrong, but this conversation about black culture seems to only blow up and make black people happy when we are able to attack someone when mistakes are being made.. same thing goes to when podcasters say stereotypical stuff about black women.. why can’t we change the way we deal with these difficult situations in a way that erases future mistakes? Attacking doesn’t seem to help to me.. but yea
@@dudettevlogs4257 I think you worded it perfectly, we need to create a space for growth to let the people who earnestly have love for the culture to be able to evolve
@@BraMoore Its too complex of a question to answer here but historically speaking individuals of all races have fought and given their lives to the pursuit of universal equality and equity, but systematically the brutal reality of white supremacist capitalism has no space for Black people to grow or evolve in freedom or with grace only slight steps of progress are granted to maintain the facade of a civil order.
Thank you Jeremy for always keeping this real and authentic, I love the Bigger Picture and a huge fan and always enjoy watching the 3 of you on stage , also always make me laugh when DjHed always teases and presses you 😂. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
You're right, I started respecting you when you said "I'm going to sit this one out" to Hed, and I hope you continue to navigate this well because I really enjoy your content.
That's really all it comes down to majority of them time. People wear out their welcome as a guest and begin to disrespect, mistreat and try to speak over who welcomed them. That's when it turns into colonizing. Some people don't know how to be guests and it shows.
You said exactly what needed to be said. I really enjoy watching you go off on TBP. I also watch Justin's content consistently. So to hear you explain what he means to you makes me appreciate you that much more. You clearly have put in the work over the years and understand the importance of what it is that you do.
I appreciate your honesty and humbleness. That's why you're respected because you are always respectful. Integrity is hard to come by these days. Thank you for having genuine intentions with your content. Thank you for respecting the culture I come from and never promoting negativity. Keep staying in good company! 👍🏾 ❤
Thank you! You are one of the few WELCOMED guests who get it. Special shout out to Knox Hill the reactor. I LOVE his takes. He is really quick with it, I can tell he is knowledgeable and really loves Hip Hop. And he is always respectful and knows when to chime and when not to. Dirt not knowing the boundaries shows me that he is simply ignorant. He doesn’t know. And he prematurely was praised, essentially rewarded when he just shouldn’t have been
Great video. I have briefly seen the podcast w/ DJ Hed & didn’t know that was you but I do appreciate the thoughtfulness w/ which you crafted this video & the perspective you know that is your specific lane. As a woman I can’t speak on what it’s like 2 be a man so cudos 2 you Sir!
"A lot of people get too comfortable as white people." As a black man and aspiring journalist you're getting me to reflect on just how big of a problem this might be. I honestly don't always have a great sense of who's just eating off us (and not respecting or appreciating us) and our culture until it's too late. So it means a lot coming from you.
That Uncle Ben reference is why we appreciate you and your voice in the culture Jeremy. You've grown in all aspects of your journey, especially the new microphone upgrade - is it a Rode or Neumann?
Great response. Just so you know “WE SEE YOU TOO” and we know you ALWAYS respect OUR CULTURE ; at least whenever I’ve seen you speak. I appreciate you for that and thank you for being genuine. But as for WTD, I like him too but he ABSOLUTELY got caught up with the SAME thing DRAKE DID! Drake confused our acceptance as a RIGHT to act like he IS US, argue like us , talk like us and try to SHADE like us . IRONICALLY, WTD got to see first hand HOW Drake did the same thing he did but on a smaller level.
You work with the mike your parents gave you ❤... Sentiment goes the hardest, because it's care, love and respect whether for the craft, person, passion or ... It's so important to have voices that try to create balance... Hope you keep bringing that balance 🌟💓🌟
I appreciated this video. I was slightly curious bout his thoughts & they didn't disappoint. I'm also now interested in learning about Justin & Jeremy more 👏🏾
Thank you for this, Jeremy. Even though the cookout invites are now closed at mine, I'm going to bring you and only you a plate.😂 Keep up the good work!
I remember DJ Hed first testing you and i knew it was a test lmao... i wasnt sure if you did.. you said "this isnt for me to speak on" and this massive smile beamed acroas his face. You answered correctly.
First video of yours I've seen, the more of these videos i see the more apparent it becomes to me that the black experience and the black American experience are complete worlds apart and that your words probably extend to non black americans regardless if they're black or not. I've watched this Kendrick/Drake perspective from the black canadian experience and its so different from the black American takes. Its been a fascinating learning experience as a foreign observer. Seeing the grifters and those who are genuinely passionate about this historical moment of hip hop.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. You are important and appreciated. I appreciate your courage to take a stand on this matter. ❤❤ your cat is adorable! BTW 😻 . I'm going to adopt a cat soon as well.
This is exactly how white ppl should use their voice in this space. “It’s ok to take accountability” !!! Don’t come into hip hop feeling entitled and if you get called out on something reflect instead of getting defensive
The situation WTD found himself in could have been avoided if he had the foresight to have an advisor or co-editor to help him navigate the cultural aspects of his work. Imagine if he had previewed his work to Justin (for example). There may have been a uncomfortable conversation about the things we saw issue with, but WTD hopefully woulda got some understanding from that conversation, and put out a piece that was received as well as his previous breakdowns. We're long overdue for change in this space, and in the world...people better get right, before they get run over. ✌🏾
In the posts of DJ Hed: "👀" 😂but no for real thank you for giving us your take as well as schooling those to come on how to come in others culture with full respect and open understanding. As Curtiss King would say: "somebody gonna have to tell the truth" and you just told it, wholeheartedly and gracefully. 👏🏾
Foreign did a great video (maybe a year ago??) on what makes a guest welcome… and what does not. Should be required viewing for anyone that doesn’t want to risk overstepping/overstaying their welcome. He names the people you likely thought of when Jeremy mentioned those he wouldn’t name, and he breaks down the issues with some guests who’ve overstayed, but are too popular for them to care about correcting how they move. His channel is Foreign Man in a Foreign Land and he posts long form content on there like once or twice a month, so it shouldn’t be hard to find but if you’re interested and need me to find the title, just let me know.
You scared me when you said “Uncle Ben” but I was thinking of the wrong one, not the Spider-Man one. Thought another one but the dust for a hot second. 😂🤦🏾♂️
Keep up the great work bro. This is a conversation that needs to really be talked about. I didnt even know you were Canadian at first that just shows how much you respect the culture. But we should have a deeper conversation about exactly what the culture is. I know for a fact my mixed Canadian cousins wouldn't understand the culture as much if it wasn't for us in the States teaching them things about. Not only is it a black & white thing. Hip-Hop has gotten global since I was a kid & I'm about to be 35. There's certain things just can't Googled or understand just because you like the music. Just like I know there's stuff Canadian rappers speak about I as American won't understand no matter how often I goto or been in Canada
Man I wanna talk about that Dot verse on NLU when you spoke on "did Cole foul, idk why you still pretending" I've been thinking about that line since I first heard it! You are a amazing journalist! Keep up the amazing work 💯💪🏿
Great video!! What's the dirt game plan was to wait till all of you hip hop UA-camrs give your takes of the whole battle. Then wait to do a breakdown months after as if he did research when all along he was watching all of these UA-camrs stealing their ideas stealing everything and plagiarizing them then regurgitating it into his own words. And sprinkling in some false narratives. And boom he tricks the algorithm. Then UA-camrs react to it as if it's new material. This is an aura boras of nonsense now. There's been multiple hip hop albums that have been dropped since the Drake and Kendrick beef and nobody's talking about them. And it kind of makes me sad and proves the point that Kendrick was making.
Yes, WHAT'S THE DIRT and AKADEMIKS are sponsored by HAPPY DAD (He is even wearing the HAPPY DAD shirt in his fake apology video) . NELK owns HAPPY DAD and is affiliated with DRAKE 🎉 What's the dirt did all of this on purpose - not to continue with the rest of the breakdowns because that will further unmask/expose Drake. What's the dirt has also publicly confirmed that he is in a group chat with VLAD, AKADEMIKS and ADAM22. WHAT'S THE DIRT is as fake/insincere as DRAKE, they do not care about the culture/rap hip-hop and it is all about the fame, money and influencing our children for them - THEY ARE NOT LIKE US
Black people and hip hop are the only the things in the world that allows guest of all varieties to be in or around it. Wish more people was like this and understood this like you Jeremy
I love that you said that you intentionally take out things in interviews that make rappers look bad, or will start a beef. This is what gets many guests in trouble. They don’t realize that they are not the appropriate messenger to be highlighting negative things about Black people.
For ANYONE who thinks race should or does play a part in HipHop and Rap… absolutely loses respect from me!💯 One of the MANY great things about HipHop is that it’s universal, and it’s something that can bring people together, not matter their background… but some people are destroying that!💯🤦♂️ And to exclude people or treat them differently and not equal… sounds REALLY familiar to some other bullshit that was and at times, still is happening… so why do what has been frowned upon now for a while🤔🤷♂️
"There are not very many people who get the opportunity to speak into a microphone and touch millions of people like I do. Right, Kid?" Is a crazy quote 😂😂😂 15:00

Just like WTD- we all said the same to him. The moment he made a mistake we ostracize instead of having a teachable moment.. WTD is wrong too don’t get me wrong, but this conversation about black culture seems to only blow up and make black people happy when we are able to attack someone when mistakes are being made.. same thing goes to when podcasters say stereotypical stuff about black women.. why can’t we change the way we deal with these difficult situations in a way that erases future mistakes? Attacking doesn’t seem to help to me.. but yea
@@dudettevlogs4257 I think you worded it perfectly, we need to create a space for growth to let the people who earnestly have love for the culture to be able to evolve
@@Siamunpatonute do they do that for us?
@@BraMoore Its too complex of a question to answer here but historically speaking individuals of all races have fought and given their lives to the pursuit of universal equality and equity, but systematically the brutal reality of white supremacist capitalism has no space for Black people to grow or evolve in freedom or with grace only slight steps of progress are granted to maintain the facade of a civil order.
@@Siamunpatonute so why do we have to do it for them?
What's The Dirt got too comfortable
Thank you Jeremy for always keeping this real and authentic, I love the Bigger Picture and a huge fan and always enjoy watching the 3 of you on stage , also always make me laugh when DjHed always teases and presses you 😂. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're right, I started respecting you when you said "I'm going to sit this one out" to Hed, and I hope you continue to navigate this well because I really enjoy your content.
I will always do my best! Thank you
The humbleness of your character continues to move on this path
Thank you 🙏🏻🔋
@@jeremyhecht don’t let west coast Hed trick you again
That's really all it comes down to majority of them time. People wear out their welcome as a guest and begin to disrespect, mistreat and try to speak over who welcomed them. That's when it turns into colonizing. Some people don't know how to be guests and it shows.
Followed,you give Canadians a good name there Fella.
You said exactly what needed to be said. I really enjoy watching you go off on TBP. I also watch Justin's content consistently. So to hear you explain what he means to you makes me appreciate you that much more. You clearly have put in the work over the years and understand the importance of what it is that you do.
Thank you as always
I appreciate your honesty and humbleness. That's why you're respected because you are always respectful. Integrity is hard to come by these days. Thank you for having genuine intentions with your content. Thank you for respecting the culture I come from and never promoting negativity. Keep staying in good company! 👍🏾 ❤
Thank you ❤ I will always do my best to move from that intention and a good place
Thank you! You are one of the few WELCOMED guests who get it. Special shout out to Knox Hill the reactor. I LOVE his takes. He is really quick with it, I can tell he is knowledgeable and really loves Hip Hop. And he is always respectful and knows when to chime and when not to. Dirt not knowing the boundaries shows me that he is simply ignorant. He doesn’t know. And he prematurely was praised, essentially rewarded when he just shouldn’t have been
Jeremy, you’re the goat. Been watching you for years now
That’s amazing. Thank you! 🙏🏻
aawww, love your cat's name. Mine is Kendrick LaPaw 🐾 ☺️☺️🤣🤣
Great answer. Nothing more to say. Thank you for your love and respect, brother !
Well said, well put and well appreciated! Thank you for setting an example for other people to follow in these spaces.
Well said young man. I am now a new subscriber to your page. 🥰
Whats the dirt reaches way too much in his videos, and now he really ruined his reputation with this back and forth
He does and im surprised not many people noticed it.
Like every video has one crazy reach 😂
@@wasabijones4571weird how you only say this after he critizes Kendrick
@@MegaIIIIHe been criticized Kendrick on the Push Ups breakdown he did. Pick a different angle, or do more research before u say sum stupid.
Y’all didnt say shit with his Kendrick breakdown even when he was reachin, y’all sum hypocrites
Great video. I have briefly seen the podcast w/ DJ Hed & didn’t know that was you but I do appreciate the thoughtfulness w/ which you crafted this video & the perspective you know that is your specific lane. As a woman I can’t speak on what it’s like 2 be a man so cudos 2 you Sir!
Thank you for the comment 🙏🏻 and as a woman I’m sure you deal with much more than I could imagine. But thank you for listening
very thoughtful perspective and much appreciated
"A lot of people get too comfortable as white people." As a black man and aspiring journalist you're getting me to reflect on just how big of a problem this might be. I honestly don't always have a great sense of who's just eating off us (and not respecting or appreciating us) and our culture until it's too late. So it means a lot coming from you.
Hats off brother, I respect you. Your star is only shining brighter by the day.
Thank you 🙏🏻
That Uncle Ben reference is why we appreciate you and your voice in the culture Jeremy. You've grown in all aspects of your journey, especially the new microphone upgrade - is it a Rode or Neumann?
Shure! lol and thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Great response.
Just so you know “WE SEE YOU TOO” and we know you ALWAYS respect OUR CULTURE ; at least whenever I’ve seen you speak.
I appreciate you for that and thank you for being genuine.
But as for WTD, I like him too but he ABSOLUTELY got caught up with the SAME thing DRAKE DID! Drake confused our acceptance as a RIGHT to act like he IS US, argue like us , talk like us and try to SHADE like us . IRONICALLY, WTD got to see first hand HOW Drake did the same thing he did but on a smaller level.
You work with the mike your parents gave you ❤... Sentiment goes the hardest, because it's care, love and respect whether for the craft, person, passion or ... It's so important to have voices that try to create balance... Hope you keep bringing that balance 🌟💓🌟
Thank you ❤
I appreciate your humility, you'll go far.
Thanks for your viewpoint today since it wasn't mentioned on THP yesterday. . Good to see you and Kid C on a Sunday.😸
🙏🏻🙏🏻😂🥲
Thank you for your thoughts on this topic
Well said and much appreciated your respect of the culture makes you deserving of your success
I appreciated this video. I was slightly curious bout his thoughts & they didn't disappoint. I'm also now interested in learning about Justin & Jeremy more 👏🏾
A classic case of "pop shit then apologize."
2025 the year of Jeremy? 👀
💪🙏🏻✨
15:07 Little Kid Cudi is adorable 🤍
I have CuDi tattooed on my arm, this warmed my heart so much. And now I want a cat, so I can call them Kit Cudi lol
@@MissNevaeh2023 Do it!! Adopt a cat!! The kitty will love u for sure!
Kit is the best lol 😂❤
Thank you for this, Jeremy. Even though the cookout invites are now closed at mine, I'm going to bring you and only you a plate.😂 Keep up the good work!
Ionno bout y’all, but most of the negative traits he mentioned were describing Vlad to the T 😂😂
I was about to say ☁he is flying high! 😂 stay humble. I enjoy listening to TBP.
Jeremy hit the pen hard before this taping LOL
😂❤
@@eramos52 LOL 😂 😂
We truly appreciate you Jeremy! Sober as a Gopher ass 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂❤
Big respect Jeremy !
Mad respect Jeremy 🫡
I remember DJ Hed first testing you and i knew it was a test lmao... i wasnt sure if you did.. you said "this isnt for me to speak on" and this massive smile beamed acroas his face. You answered correctly.
Love your viewpoint and words. You are correct. Gotta ve gumvle as well as knowledgable and hard working.
Thank yiu for your words
I appreciate you for your responsibility and your gracious words when it comes to this culture 🦾
First video of yours I've seen, the more of these videos i see the more apparent it becomes to me that the black experience and the black American experience are complete worlds apart and that your words probably extend to non black americans regardless if they're black or not. I've watched this Kendrick/Drake perspective from the black canadian experience and its so different from the black American takes. Its been a fascinating learning experience as a foreign observer. Seeing the grifters and those who are genuinely passionate about this historical moment of hip hop.
Interesting how the difference between “apart” and “a part” is ‘the space’
I rock with this perspective.
A visitor with respect 😌
You are one of the few white journalists in this space who I admire and are respectful while giving insightful commentary.
Thank you!!!!
I think “sober as a gofer” was more proof of being high than the red eyes 😂😂😂
😂😂 lmao I can’t win
Thanks for sharing your opinion. You are important and appreciated. I appreciate your courage to take a stand on this matter. ❤❤ your cat is adorable! BTW 😻 . I'm going to adopt a cat soon as well.
We know you a real one.
WTD just got cocky.. you always gotta respect your ogs
I just realised that in this video Jimmy said “white” as many years as he’s been alive 🤯
This is exactly how white ppl should use their voice in this space. “It’s ok to take accountability” !!! Don’t come into hip hop feeling entitled and if you get called out on something reflect instead of getting defensive
The situation WTD found himself in could have been avoided if he had the foresight to have an advisor or co-editor to help him navigate the cultural aspects of his work. Imagine if he had previewed his work to Justin (for example). There may have been a uncomfortable conversation about the things we saw issue with, but WTD hopefully woulda got some understanding from that conversation, and put out a piece that was received as well as his previous breakdowns. We're long overdue for change in this space, and in the world...people better get right, before they get run over. ✌🏾
I feel like a lot of the “do nots” for white people that are guest and hip-hop. We’re all things Vlad has done.
Adam 22, traploreross, post Malone.. the list is extensive...
In the posts of DJ Hed: "👀"
😂but no for real thank you for giving us your take as well as schooling those to come on how to come in others culture with full respect and open understanding. As Curtiss King would say: "somebody gonna have to tell the truth" and you just told it, wholeheartedly and gracefully. 👏🏾
Foreign did a great video (maybe a year ago??) on what makes a guest welcome… and what does not. Should be required viewing for anyone that doesn’t want to risk overstepping/overstaying their welcome. He names the people you likely thought of when Jeremy mentioned those he wouldn’t name, and he breaks down the issues with some guests who’ve overstayed, but are too popular for them to care about correcting how they move.
His channel is Foreign Man in a Foreign Land and he posts long form content on there like once or twice a month, so it shouldn’t be hard to find but if you’re interested and need me to find the title, just let me know.
You scared me when you said “Uncle Ben” but I was thinking of the wrong one, not the Spider-Man one. Thought another one but the dust for a hot second. 😂🤦🏾♂️
Lmao that would have been a horrible mixup
jazz, rock, country, funk, soul, rnb, hip hop etc ----> are we locked in? Step this way ... let us watch the party DIE!!!
Bro is cooking on this video!!
this guy understands☝🏿
Man I have great respect for you after this video. Now i see how you have thrived so long in this field of hip hop media/podcast.
Justin Hunt (the company man) gave what’s the dirt a masterclass ahhh whoopin in media form…. Hit him with that euphoria! 😂
Keep up the great work bro. This is a conversation that needs to really be talked about. I didnt even know you were Canadian at first that just shows how much you respect the culture. But we should have a deeper conversation about exactly what the culture is. I know for a fact my mixed Canadian cousins wouldn't understand the culture as much if it wasn't for us in the States teaching them things about. Not only is it a black & white thing. Hip-Hop has gotten global since I was a kid & I'm about to be 35. There's certain things just can't Googled or understand just because you like the music. Just like I know there's stuff Canadian rappers speak about I as American won't understand no matter how often I goto or been in Canada
"You do you, King" great video, coming from an enjoyer of The Bigger Picture from the south of Ireland. Easy new sub
Man I wanna talk about that Dot verse on NLU when you spoke on "did Cole foul, idk why you still pretending"
I've been thinking about that line since I first heard it!
You are a amazing journalist! Keep up the amazing work 💯💪🏿
Great video!! What's the dirt game plan was to wait till all of you hip hop UA-camrs give your takes of the whole battle. Then wait to do a breakdown months after as if he did research when all along he was watching all of these UA-camrs stealing their ideas stealing everything and plagiarizing them then regurgitating it into his own words. And sprinkling in some false narratives. And boom he tricks the algorithm. Then UA-camrs react to it as if it's new material. This is an aura boras of nonsense now. There's been multiple hip hop albums that have been dropped since the Drake and Kendrick beef and nobody's talking about them. And it kind of makes me sad and proves the point that Kendrick was making.
Yes, WHAT'S THE DIRT and AKADEMIKS are sponsored by HAPPY DAD (He is even wearing the HAPPY DAD shirt in his fake apology video) . NELK owns HAPPY DAD and is affiliated with DRAKE 🎉 What's the dirt did all of this on purpose - not to continue with the rest of the breakdowns because that will further unmask/expose Drake. What's the dirt has also publicly confirmed that he is in a group chat with VLAD, AKADEMIKS and ADAM22. WHAT'S THE DIRT is as fake/insincere as DRAKE, they do not care about the culture/rap hip-hop and it is all about the fame, money and influencing our children for them - THEY ARE NOT LIKE US
thank you for your kind words. They were appreciated.
Just give more takes, you are good bro! I second a lot of theses positive comments ❤
Well said! 👍🏾👏🏾
Black people and hip hop are the only the things in the world that allows guest of all varieties to be in or around it. Wish more people was like this and understood this like you Jeremy
❤❤❤❤ you're the best!! 💯💯
I never knew Jeremy had his own UA-cam page
Just started uploading again! New videos every Sunday
@@jeremyhecht Awesome! Love you!
I love that you said that you intentionally take out things in interviews that make rappers look bad, or will start a beef. This is what gets many guests in trouble. They don’t realize that they are not the appropriate messenger to be highlighting negative things about Black people.
I wish Vladtv and Adam22 really took everything that Jeremy said into serious consideration!!!
Watch The Tourcher Chamber’s reaction to WTD’s apology. I thought it was great
For ANYONE who thinks race should or does play a part in HipHop and Rap… absolutely loses respect from me!💯
One of the MANY great things about HipHop is that it’s universal, and it’s something that can bring people together, not matter their background… but some people are destroying that!💯🤦♂️
And to exclude people or treat them differently and not equal… sounds REALLY familiar to some other bullshit that was and at times, still is happening… so why do what has been frowned upon now for a while🤔🤷♂️
Respect 🤛🏾
"There are not very many people who get the opportunity to speak into a microphone and touch millions of people like I do. Right, Kid?" Is a crazy quote 😂😂😂 15:00
