Vlad has over 5 million subscribers on YT, that Brilliant Idiots channel has 258k subscribers.
Vlad's doing them a favor for being on their show.
Fuck Vlad but that's the truth.

Fuck Vlad but that's the truth.
Big Boy has show on YouTube...where you been?
Sway, Big Boy, Angie...they work for the ppl who own those media outlets
Adam and Vlad...They OWN the rights to ALL MEDIA they produce.
That's the difference.
Ownership is KEY.
Dame Dash tried to tell us, but black folk said he was "shaming" the working people.
While I definitely don't agree with everything Dame said in that interview, He was spot on about the need for ownership in hip hop by the culture because the vultures (Vlad, Adam, and the others) own OUR SHIT.
You 100%
Ok so why hasn't anyone else started the same platform.
The blueprint there
Between the time Vlad started and Adam started we had so many so called millionaires in hip hop who could have done the same thing.
What happened to this is 50?
Or just anyone with the money and connects who looks like us?
I know that. I specifically named the legends in media whi can rival him. But don't.
You ain't understanding what I'm saying.
How come Vlad has always gotten more support views and access?
Great points.
Vlad existing library though is insane.
I think the name recognition and overall audience is more. Also the demographics is probably ridiculous.
And no matter what Adam playing catch up to a well old established machine.
And it helps that Adam cool with Vlad and learned from him.
All I want to know is why a black person ain't look at that platform and say...
Why in the hell can't WE do that?
For Adam to jump in fairly recent and become what it is now?
How the hell another brother or sister not he able to jump in?
Fuck DJ Vlad. I still don't watch that cunts videos.
I mean theres Akademiks who they all seem to recognize as the trio in the top 3 of that space. Then there's Shawn Cotton who's in the tier below if you're speaking of just black independent hip hop media personality, now neither of them I would consider being from the culture despite them being black but it is what it is
I know what he meant but if we look at it deeper that generally the ppl that consider 2 of them culture vultures also consider Akademiks and Shawn Cotton culture vultures cause they used a lot of the same methods/tactics to gain their platforms, I mean is it any better that they're black vs Vlad and Adam being white? Akademiks was just a RA at Rutgers that was stealing from his residents dorm rooms and trolling on thecoli and took all the topics on that board to gain his platform. Shawn Cotton was a gamestop employee that admitted he took a lot of Vlad's blueprint to start and grow Say Cheese
Yeah those traditional hip hop media folks all missed the paradigm shift from print and linear to Digital, all of them from legit journalist backgrounds like Toure and Miss Info to folks like Sway. All the print publications from XXL, The Source, Ozone etc. Think about what Ozone coulda did since they were southern based and could've capitalized off all the southern hip hop scene if they made the transition to digital successfully. I think a lot of the folks like Toure, Sway, Miss Info just either didn't see the forest from the trees at the time like the Vlads did with how big something like YT was gonna be or they just were comfortable working for an outlet like Sway ended up taking the Shade45 gig etc. They just may not have had the independent hustle/spirits of the Vlad, Adam22, Akademiks did and now we're where we at today

Look at this lying homo motherfucker.
This dude is a piece of work with his frootloop ass. Vlad ain’t shit but Tariq was all in with him with his faggot ass.
Comedy Hype did and any outlet that does long form interviews and chops it up into segments. The Comedy Hype owner even credited Vlad for showing the blueprint. Vlad pioneered that shit whether people liking or not and I am seeing other Black channels come up off that. Say Cheese TV, B High, Art of Dialogue etc.
Vlad Loses His Three Black Friends - Mysonne, Lord Jamar and Godfrey
DJ Vlad has amassed a lot of press recently, but for all the wrong reasons.

Lord Jamar Revises His Beef with Eminem | Eminem.Pro - the biggest and most trusted source of Eminem
Years have passed, but it feels like Lord Jamar has not changed his opinion about Marshall’s place in hip hop. Lately, Lord Jamar didn’t talk much about Eminem, and everybody thought that he moved on. However, his recent appearance on MRecktv’s “Backstories” podcast brought everything back...
Tyrese Shares DJ Vlad DMs Showing $10,000 Offer for Interview: 'How Much Is He Leaching Off of Black Culture?'
Tyrese is tired of founder Vlad Lyubovny of VladTV constantly bringing up his name and personal issues when doing interviews with other artists on his platform.Tyrese has thrown shots at DJ Vlad for continuing to bring up his personal life with guests on VladTV and allegedly being a culture vulture.
The 44-year-old took offense to a clip Vlad released this week of an interview with Boosie Badazz reflecting on the singer being the most hurt person on Instagram. In his post, Tyrese shared snapshots of a DM conversation between himself and Vlad trying to set up an interview which didn’t end up happening.
In his caption, Tyrese dragged Vlad for being upset that the singer turned down a $10,000 offer to appear on VladTV and continue to leech off of Black culture. According to Tyrese, Vlad should be stopped.
“Haven’t you used BLACK PEOPLE ENOUGH??? What’s the dudes name who talks off camera who owns VLAD TV?? Can y’all pull his tax returns????????,” Tyrese wrote. “How much is he leaching off of BLACK CULTURE???? This dude is already have four people on his show and he randomly keeps bringing MY NAME UP… laughing about my divorce traumas laughing about my crying video and trying to milk my traumas and pains in the Clickbait for his goofy ass show….”
He continued, “Every time my name is bought up people are looking at him ‘Why you talking shit about my brother Ty’… he just keeps going… You corny AF dude…. 10k for what????? That ain’t even my daily Perdiem …”
Tyrese told the VladTV host, “You know I can fuck your whole shit up right,” and advised his fellow “established artists” to ignore Vlad’s interview requests until he coughs $10,000 or more. He also claimed that he is “The culture” and that he had Vlad’s address.
“One thing about Tyrese I ALWAYS GOT RECIPES…. I’m black royalty my people will never ever turn on me…..,” Tyrese added. “You can bring me up for your next 10 interviews they all love me….. I’m ALL HEART…. #CultureVulturesDieSlow Look at Boosie’s face??? You over over talking about my nigha Ty?? Nah corny fuck boy #RealHoodNighasSalute.”
DJ Vlad has yet to respond to Tyrese’s post, and this isn’t the first time someone has called him out. Several people, including Benny the Butcher, Asian Doll, NLE Choppa, Top Dawg Entertainment President Terrence "Punch" Henderson, and many more, have voiced their displeasure with Vlad’s popular platform.
In 2022, Soulja Boy also dissed Vlad and claimed he was offered $20,000 to do an interview on VladTV, but he ultimately turned it down.
I am not a vlad fan
my biggest issue is folks go on his platform WILLINGLY.
That is the part that I can't just brush aside.
When someone voluntarily goes on THAT platform already knowing what it is accused of?
All that other stuff doesn't matter.
He is boycott proof
And he is now getting black legends who rarely if ever sit down for any interviews with anyone. He got Chuck D Smokey Robinson and Stephanie Mills
Back to back to back
ask Jamar - Vlad is boycott proof
And while I respect them BOTH?
Godfrey and Jamar used to cape for Vlad extra hard before the honorable minister stuff. And I also respect them both for stepping away
So at this point?
It's up to the public. And it seems they have loudly voiced who side they on.
So f*ck Vlad but remember that he don't care.
What he say about Dick Gregory?? Naw fam....I fucks with Dr. Sebi, but I've had more interactions with Babba Dick Gregory...
Mayne, I hear you and all but Fuck Vlad and his momma should've swallowed him
Well I kinda said that too bro
But I ain't gonna protect the black folk that openly support him and take his checks then want to act like doing a Vlad interview was black humanitarian service.
y'all TOOK THE MONEY
No matter what now, you complicit
Look at Math who I really like
He tight with Joe AND Ransom
And he still cool with Vlad.
Why?
Because it's good business
Funny how that works.

Fam, you're not wrong with anything you've said I'm regards to him and his "guests.".....
They are accomplices and should be treated as such moving forward.
Dude is beyond a snake and his actions have been called out repeatedly since damn near the beginning.......
It's infuriating that "we" still engage in the fuckery with him...... we've let the snake get too big
^^^ 100%
But now the snake is unkillable.
His blueprint is the gold standard on how to run a youtube channel.
Chuck D Van Lathan Russel Simmons Hughes brotherd Carl Jones etc ALL Co sign this man...
Comedy Hype My Expert Opinion No Jumper all Co sign him.
Imma go THIS FAR....
Would you REALLY be surprised if Jamar or Godfrey "forgave" him publicly one day?
It's done all we can hope for is ANOTHER person to create a REAL LEGIT ALTERNATIVE channel leas by black voices.
IMO: Godfrey will not be apologizing to anyone. There is a reason why he is not a bigger name comedian at this stage in the game. I think he’s 52 years old with damn near 30 years in the game and most people don’t even know who he is.
I respect it.
and honestly I do NOT think it would ACTUALLY happen
but we have seen a WHOLE lot of things we NEVER thought would happen the past few years.
