  • @357twilson
    @357twilson 5 років тому +478

    Vlad is running a business. Here’s how it breaks down. Vlad gets a range between $5,000 - $10,000 every 2 million views. So imagine all the interviews and parts Vlad has done. Now imagine this interview. He could release the whole 2 hour interview and let’s say get 2 million views and make $10,000 one time. Or he can release 20 parts to this interview, each part gets between 300,000-500,000 or more views. Times that by 20 and do the math. Vlad is a smart business man.
    Another question people have is, why does Vlad do all those flashbacks to his old interviews? It’s because Vlad works those topics in with the current interviews, so he then can flash back to a old interview. For example, here Vlad worked in a flashback to his interview with Big U. He wants you as the viewer to here something Big U says, hoping you will then go to the Big U interview and watch clips of that interview. Then watch the whole interview, adding more views. Do the math on all of the views. Once again, Vlad is a smart business man.

      And to be quite honest maybe he does exxagerate his gangster also. He makes himself look like he was the super og and the others were some squares, you dont know if thats an exaggeration or not

He brought every one of those guys in and ironically he is the last one standing. IT seems like you are biased to anyone who had beef with Suge. Nobody is responsible for what happen to Suge but him. He was consumed by his power and money and let it get the best of him and damaged a lot of people along the way. I think at the core Suge is a good dude and was raised right but you put money and power in the mix and you never know what you might get, I have seen it to many times.

      James is one of the few - along with Gene Deal and a few others - who I believe every word he says. Man has no reason to lie and tells the same stories with the same conviction every single time. Much respect to both of them for keeping it real all these years later - even you could easily lie and nobody would know since many of the players are in jail or dead.

      The ONLY good thing surrounding Suge Knight is that POS is serving 27 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter. He's 55 now, so hopefully he'll die in prison. If not, he'll be a old man when he finally does get out.

    • @allanyates8978
      @allanyates8978 4 роки тому +9

      Now, truthful and sincere are not equals linguistically. Suge Knight is not to be compared with the FBI, CIA, Police Union and the Police Department who all had files on Suge Knight and did NOT stop him, arrested him way before all such dispositive things happened only in the Black (B-lack) American survival Projects. This is a typical example of what Organized crime is of Monitored and Engineered by the United Snakes of the America Government in that period of Suge Knight being a product of the Organizers of Organize Criminals. Who were the Presidents in such period of time Suge Knight was the appointed assassin by the System unto his on B-lack and innocent Dark people.
      Had Suge Knight caused 10% of such menace to Caucasians in the Suburbs and criminal acts out of his appointed jurisdiction, the black neighborhood, he would not have lasted this long.
      Why describe Suge knight as the root of "all evil" and not Adolph Hitler of Austria/Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy who killed in the million innocent Ethiopians of Africa, including American, British Military Troops, and Italian civilians, Stalin of Russia, Churchill, Ronald Reagan, the Bushes, Obama, Donald Trump etc.

    I grew up in Compton on Tichenor St. I saw things changing when PCP hit the streets in the mid 1970's. Before that my neighborhood was beautiful. Around 1980 the crack explosion hit; the devastation was amazing. Today I am 62yrs. old and it still bothers me that that happened. I went into law enforcement eventually.

    One of the best interviews i have seen in a while. Thank you james for clarification on what really happened to 2pac. So many crazy stories that never made sense to me. I'm just scrolling and come across your interview with Vlad, I'm happy to see that you have made the change that sooo many young men need to do now and not wait and waist there lives. You are a wonderful father, grandfather, uncle, brother and son. Be proud of who you are today. RIP Bun🕯

    "Loyalty is out the window these days".
    Being from a similar era, I could relate to the same frustration and disillusionment he felt in that statement.
    Unfortunately people like MOB James are a very rare breed these days. Good luck to him and his family.
