- Part 2: • Fab 5 Freddy on Relati...
-----
Fab 5 Freddy spoke to VladTV about his new Netflix documentary, Grass is Greener, and he shared stories about Jazz greats hanging out at his house when he was a kid. While Freddy's dad was friends with Miles Davis, he didn't personally meet him until the 1980s, when he approached the Jazz legend at one of his art shows in New York.
Elsewhere in this clip, Fab 5 Freddy talked about what he learned about the cannabis industry and culture from states like California and Colorado which have already made the plant recreational. He admitted his frustration with New York stating that they're behind on this matter but his documentary is being used as part of the case to push cannabis reform in the state. Later on, Fab 5 Freddy spoke about his relationship with NYC cannabis legend "Branson" and how they're collaborating on branding legal cannabis products in his name. - Zábava
From doing Graffiti with Basquiat being in the first Hip Hop movie Wild Style To Yo MTv Raps Fab 5 Freddy is absolutely one of the most important Icons in Hip Hop
Fab is the Icon of Hip Hop. He's been there for everything. Rappers come and go. Fab is eternal. From Basquiat to today.
Man I hope this is gonna be long interview bcuz he's a hip hop legend and I know he has alot of stories to tell
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?

I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Fab 5 freddy! This brings back memories. The soundtrack to my childhood. Yo MTV raps was epic in the golden era of hip hop

Remember getting out of school seeing him and NWA in the bed of a truck riding thru Compton

Biig fax
Dude has never aged..
EYON he has good genes and he is on healthy diet,,,big up our homie,,,the real legend 💯🎧
I'm so tired of seeing interviews about mumble rappers, drug lords and gang members. Fab 5 Freddy is hip hop royalty, so it's time that he get some shine on here. #Salute to the iconic legend!
Agree!
THANKS BRUH! ;))
woowwwwwww VLAD you out did yourself with this one. GOODSHIT!!
LXRYLXRYTV half of vlad audience prolly has no clue who he is.. Pioneer!
this man LIVED through every ERA and still alive to talk about it. p.s. I have older cousins that use to hang with him in the early 80s
💯
Who remember Fab 5 Freddy in Blondie music video "Rapture"
man c'mon! That was mind blowin' back then....
From Bill Duke to Fab Five...that's what I'm talkin' about✊ Need *MORE ELDERS* on this channel in order to provide maturity and balance...pretty please🙏
Bill Duke getting depressing listening too. I respect him but his self hate issues depress me. But it's the hard truth.
@@jerrystevenson8 Totally understood, Boss👍 However, I find it refreshing that he's completely self aware. Bill provides the reasoning (as told through the stories of his harsh upbringing) that underlies his psychology. Additionally...
Unlike all these "gangster rappers, etc", Bill channelled his energy towards uplifting deeds & projects. He's actually been quite the source of Black pride✊ I see the lesson in his segments💡 Now, on the other hand...
You wanna talk about depressing?!?!?
98% of Vlad's interviewees are a virtual prison lineup. I walk away having gained NO insight AT ALL👎 No fresh, forward thinking perspective..nothing! All these gang bangers & rogue rappers, etc...they're all pretty much locked in their narrow (and oftentimes, self-detructive) points of view. Watching their interviews is like receiving a punch to the gut😨 They make black people look violent, unable to learn and hopeless. And scrolling down to the comments only makes it worse🤢 Now☝️ Let's rewind....
Back to Bill. I've said it before...his stories are a lesson in Black American psychology...deep seeded psychological issues that have reverberated throughout the years..issues that show no signs of dissipating. To my initial point, at least I click away from Bill's pieces having learned something🤔💡☝️😃 Vlad's channel, I feel, desperately needs fruitful insight like his.
@@thinkforward8752 I agree with your response 100% and your intelligence and understanding my point which we share ultimately. Unlike others on this platform.
We can' t truly advance as a culture if we don't know the math(history). Fab 5 is a forefather of everything that's exploited & taken for granite in this sub culture adopted now as mainstream called "hip hop". Peace legend!
No one realizes how rich this dude is. He has real BASQUIAT art and photos. He also has brownstones in NYC. SALUTE
His spot is on 145th & Convent Ave. It’s a beautiful brownstone.
Arent brownstones average living?
@@ericvasquez3325 not in New York. Million plus.
How could ppl dislike a Fab Five Freddy interview? This man is a God in the landscape of Hip Hop. Please do y'all history on this man. Frfr
Damn this brother never ages.
Smokin that Gud Gud
Fab 5 freddy and Joe clair are the gold standard of OG rap hosts. No one was better!
Don't forget Big Tigger rap city: the basement is classic.
Dr Dre & Ed Lover!!!
While we at it let's not act like free and frees booty also aj corny ahh weren't a classic duo.
Prince dajour
Don’t forget Chris Thomas the Mayor of Rap City that did that funny arm dance!!! Damn I feel seasoned 🤣🤣
This is from my era right here!!! I grew up watching him and Dr. Dre & Ed lover. S/O to Joe Clair and Big Lez too!! This is taking it back
And Chris Thomas the Mayor
@@TheYunghawk that's right....can't forget Chris Thomas!!!!
Joe (cleezy) Clair
@@drdread9896 thank u for the clarification brotha. That's what his last name was. Salute
Vlad if u get that Branson interview, bro ur gonna be legendary fr fr and thats a NY fact...👌
Facts!!!
Big fact's
I Remember the Branson Days!!!
I live on 146&Amsterdam, literally around the corner from Branson's Got Juice. That's dope he shouted it out. Fab 5 Freddy is a real cool dude. Funny enough I ran into him twice in the past 2 months. Once on the 1 train, and another at a museum event. The person you see in this interview is the same person in real life. Just a real cool dude.
🤴🏾 Salute Fab 5 Freddie 🤴🏾 I grew up on Yo !! MTV Raps !! Giving him his Flowers 💐💐💐💐 while he’s still here !! Drink Champs come on , if you haven’t already ..
Heffa listen up Nore!!
Hell yeah man...I can hear NOREs into for him followed by a loud and thunderous "MAKE SOME MUTHAFUKKIN NOISE FOR FAB.....5......MUTHAFUKKIN FREDDY GODAMNITT"!!!!😂😂😭😭😭
Good call my guy
One of the best Yo MTV raps was when he went to hang with NWA!
Patience Isavirtue
That was amazing. Fab also kicked it with a young man named 2Pac Amaru Shakur at one time. #Legend
That episode was in my hometown...my boyz went to the show
Fab 5 Freddy if you saw Eric holder just chillin, tattoos match & everything....
HAHAHA!! You KNOW it's comin' !!!
@@Mktgaming2023 #snappletopfact
Hilarious
What do you think about Tekashi snitching on his whole crew and did you see me get his baby mama to read his plea agreement?? 😂🤣😂🤣
Mister Zane 😂😂😂😂😂
Fab the god don't get nearly as much praise as he should he gave us a voice to show our brilliance
Fab Five Freddy is still the coolest person in the room. ✊🏾
Fab 5 Freddy has that voice that takes you wayback to MTV Raps...I love that voice
Salute to one of the OG Hip Hop personalities. I was an intern for the last year of Yo MTV Raps and got a chance to meet him.
My brotha you are a gentleman and a scholar. You are the living example of how someone in radio should sound.
This man narrated the conception and birth of hip hop to the world! Literally! I can HONESTLY say he has ALMOST IF NOT CONTRIBUTED MORE to the culture than any hip hop "artist"!
" I was the one who told fab 5 freddy's face not to age on him"
-T.K. KIRKLAND
Lol!
As a child I remember watching Fab Five Freddy in Blondie's video rapture, pop locking and boogalooing in the white tux yee
Word up!
_"Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's fly_
_DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind_
_Flash is fast,_
_Flash is cool_
_Francois sais pas, flashe' no do
"_
That wasn't Fab in the White Tux.
@@darrylnelson05 yes it was lol you trippin everybody knows that
@@teshomacalkins3257 No son you're buggin. The guy in the Tux was lean, tall and clean shaved. Fab is short, with his stache, glasses on playing the graffiti kid. Jean Michel Basquiat is the kid playing the DJ. FACTS Son. FACTS!
@@darrylnelson05 I'm willing to bet that was him in the video lol
FAB 5 FREDDY TOLD ME EVERYBODY'S FLY!!
Fab 5 Freddy. Man I'm a true fan of hip hop. I had numerous VHS tapes full of Yo MTV Raps. This man did a lot for rap and me growing up.
FAB 5 IS TRULY AN UNSUNG FIGURE IN HIP HOP, MUCH RESPECT
"I introduced Fab to Branson at first They both slept on my couch" - T to the motherfuckin K
@Calvin LaFleur Jr 😂😂😂😂
What do you gain from lying on a public platform?
The man shares a cool story about a legend like Miles.
Vlad:so...about this weed tho.
“Grams from Branson” - Biggie
Duh
Hip Hop Is Life / Takeova Battle League everyone raps about him
Fab knew Basqiat?!? Damn he knows EVERYONE
🌷 Flowers for Freddy.
Thank you, man!
About time Vlad! Fab 5 is that dude! And release the rest of the Ralph McDaniel interview.
Fab 5 can go thru any hood dolo straight legend
Yes video music box with the legend Ralph McDaniel. Bless you too Fab a legend in your own right
Great Netflix documentary! If you smoke weed, you definitely gotta watch it! Shout out to all my stoners on youtube!
What it called
Marquan Jones grass is greener
Dope doc... pun slightly intended
I fronted Branson his first pound of weed. T. K. Kirkland
influence1414 You snapped on this one! 😭😭😭💀💀💀
Vladimir u know you can't dance cut it out....smh
moontakeen whitaker right. I need to see some footage
Fab still sounds exactly like he did back in the day on YO! Man he was a star more so than the artists because he could get at ANY rap artist and ANY rap artist worth his salt was jockeying to get on Yo! and be interviewed by him. He worked with BLONDIE!!!!!!! That was mind blowing!
Appreciate this one VLAD.
Another legendary interview right here
Vlad come thru!!!! Fab 5 Freddie I salute you!! Yo MTV raps was the conduit for Hip Hop for me while in the suburbs of Rochester NY where our conservative black radio station only threw in 1-2 rap songs in an hour. I’m so thankful for his contributions to the community 🙏🏾💙
Ralph McDaniels was first /video music box but Fab brought it too the masses on a bigger platform
Yes but as he said, without V.M.B, there would have been no Y.M.T.V. R...V.M.B. Bridged the East and West before Y.M.T.V..I remember seeing N.W.A. on V.M.B. before Y.M.T.V.R...Shout ou to F.F.F for shouting out Ralph..#Brooklyn
Kings County Baby facts indeed
Vlad you gotta get Donnie Simpson next
Damn...don't forget Sherry Carter too..
That would be so🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dont forget Caribbean sands with Racheal
Mc Business YES!!!!!!!
Or arsenio
Freddy look and sound the same as he did in like 82 🙌🏿
Salute Fab 5 Freddy! Instrumental in me falling in love with hip hop. He brought the streets to my living room before I was able to go out on my own.
The fact that he ran the streets with Basquiat is amazing..true legend!🙌🏽💪🏾💯
You Can Tell Vlad Admires Fab 5 Freddy Because Hes Quiet Respectful And Observant. He’s Letting Freddy Say/Detail/Explain Anything Without Talking Over Him Or Cutting Him Off #RespectTheIcon
Basquiat was my good friend. Super flex
I've been saying this since 80s! Thank you fab.
great share!
The OG!
Saw that docu like a week ago...very good indeed
About damned time!
“I wanna talk to Branson!!”
Lmaaao
Damn they even used his name in Half Baked. "Samson". Man that dude is legendary
Finally!!!!! A interview about accomplishments,history and positivity
Hip hop and art world LEGEND! Love Fab 5 Freddy
This clip is....LEGENDARY without any question.
Salute to #VladTv for this interview mane Fab5Freddy the man himself💯✊🏾👊🏾
Straight LEGEND... I’ll never forget watching him on MTV as a kid and peeping his rings holding that mic. He always seemed a little sus but dude is part of the foundation of HipHop
Fab 5 Freddie what up B! Thanks for your contribution to the world. ✌️
Vlad is supposed to be from the Bay and the first person he seen doing hip hop interviews was Fab 5 Freddy? In the Bay we had Home Turf with Dominique DiPrima before YoMtv Raps
Man!!!!! 10000000 likes!
KRON is STILL holding on to them tapes! We need to petition for them to be released. So much history there...
I watched Home Turf through the whole run!!! 1984 on...
You just put me on. I never heard of Home Turf before being from NYC.
Fab 5 is one of the coolest cats to ever walk this earth
Respect!!
Dope documentary..watched it last night
Grass Is Greener was dope! I just got into jazz last year and I loved the connection between weed, jazz, x hip-hop.
Fab 5 Freddy, now there's a true legend...this brother is a walking library
Super Legend in all corners of the world.
Great information outstanding interview
Big S/o to Fab 5 Freddie me and my cousin watched yo MTV raps every Saturday morning just to see if he would take his hat off lol! Big part of my childhood!
New York rappers are special.
Legendary 4sho big props to fab5freddy 💯
" He started out as 5 Freddy. After I paid his rent for a bit I told him to change it to Fab 5 Freddy and come on tour with me. The rest is history"
TK "nobody would be shit without me" Kirkland
That TK was spot on. lol
The tunnel in the 90s you had to be gully asf to go up in there 👊👊
gdime 74 niggas told me mad story about the tunnel back in the days
I caught wreck in The Tunnel..
Redzone
@@esco200106705 Too deep for em esp Daddy's House. I was on line for over an hour at the Tunnel Fall'87.
The origin of Gully is the Rooftop skating rink across from the Rucker & PoloGrounds and the biggest rink in the tri state, TheRink in Bergenfield, NJ.
Salute.... Founding members of this love called hip hop.... Bevy Smith lil Bro.....😍😝
Damn Fab 5 Freddy still looks and sounds the same way as when I first saw him 30 years ago!
My favorite Yo MTV raps episode was when they interviewed the entire WU TANG clan. That was epic
Im from harlem born and raised,nth changed abt fab but his wisdom, he still looks and sounds the same and he got that BRANSON on the way,,
Mane I was 8 in 88 seeing Fab on MTV when they was the shit, seeing him and NWA in the back of a truck riding thru Compton.... Eazy had the bullet proof vest on
Fab 5 Freddy lookin' timeless!!
Dope... Legend
Just saw the documentary on Netflix last week. It was dope... and to see the segue of Jazz, weed, Hip Hop, weed and everything else, was extremely interesting to see.
😳 this man does not age!
Now this a interesting interview exchanging war stories
Documentary was dope. Shots out to Freddy!
Finally we get to meet branson and you got fab 5!!!!
Damn I used to watch this dude as a kid and he still looks the same. Unbelievable.
Branson ain't coming on here. Detective Vlad with the set ups again. 😂😂😂
Fab 5 Freddy is the Dick Clark of Hip Hop. He stopped aging after the Blondie video "Rapture"
Yes I've been blessed!
Hopefully the next segment of the interview talks about his role in the legendary classic Hip Hop movie "Wild Style".
Damn... he looks the same way he did back when "Yo MTV Raps" was on MTV in the 80's.
Fab 5 Freddy - good shit Vlad ✊🏾
Iconic
Good Interview Vlad
