- www.vladtv.com - In this exclusive clip with DJ Yella, the founding member of NWA spoke about how the group dissolved after the second record, as well as Ice Cube's legendary diss track "No Vaseline."
When asked about how the group felt after Cube left, DJ Yella told us that it wasn't a regular topic of conversation, but he briefly acknowledged that the group's feelings at the time were made known on "Message to B.A.," short for Benedict Arnold. Their song later spawned Cube's diss "No Vaseline," which DJ Yella thought was "cool," despite being named on the track. He then added that all of NWA knew that Cube "got us on that one."
The conversation then turned to the group dissolving after their second album, "N****z4Life," was mixed, and DJ Yella made it clear that outside people broke up the group. - Zábava
they did a great job portraying him in the movie.. so nonchalant and laid back. In the movie his response to No Vaseline - He's like "well it was funny".
girlgreenivy 😆😆😆😆😉
He said “shits kinda funny” and then slurped his drink
furioushazaa just chillin’
"I dont know about all that"
“Man we gotta end his whole fuckin career let’s get to da studio” I don’t know about all dat~yella
part about no Vaseline starts at 8:00
you da reel mvp
Kimbro Savage the hero is always in the comments
Kimbro Savage thanks man.. I wasn't trynna watch the whole thing..
Kimbro Savage you a hero but I thought there was a hair on my screen
Kimbro Savage you are a hero
Cube went easy on Yella. He took the gloves off, for everyone else.
You should of put he used Vaseline for yella and none for the rest.
@@txbi6662 lmao true
Facts
Txbi he should have kept the glove on for Yella but use Vaseline for everybody else
"Real Niggas? Them niggas Dre and Yella used to wear lipstick and lace" he bodied the chilled homie with that line
Don’t ever sign a contract without a lawyer. That’s why cube left because jerry wouldn’t let cubes lawyer look at the contract. Then cube knew something was up.
Yep exactly
Well cube was the only smart one in tht group but think about when 19 to 20 years old from the hood and u see over 100k check in your face you take thts what the rest of them did they weren't thinking about the future
Eazy: We could just go to the studio and end his career anyway..
Yella:Ehh I don't know about all that
If the doc voice didn't get fuckup it been doc vs ice cube LMAO 😂 🤣

King Sports That would’ve been a classic battle!

DJ Yella is a wise man.. I like how he conducted himself in this interview.
Justcallme Justice run dmc 1:14
stunnaboycodotcom has
Yeah the way he doesn’t get pulled in to certain things and the way he replies really stands out.
Me too!
Definitely
The guy who played Yella did an amazing job potraying him. Good ass casting
No Vaseline & Hit'em Up is my favorite diss tracks & arguably the best diss tracks ever made
Real muthaphukkin g's was pretty good
Don’t care for hit me up but understated comment
Hit em up was weak. The best diss tracks are no vaseline and the bridge is over. Hit em up is probably one of the weakest of any.
Can’t forget Ether by Nas
Still sad when pac started to hate cube, called cube a fake gangster, I understand where he came from, but also gotta realize cube from south central a city that is more dangerous than Compton, but cube also helped put Compton on the map and not his own city, respect to pac and ice cube, ice cube grew up now, not with thugs, drugs or anything no more, and R.I.P pac
Yella handle this interview extremely well. I love that he never said anything negative about any of the members and how he didn't speculate on events he wasn't there for.
Best comment ive read💯
+Cesar Bernabe you must have never read any of my comments.....
GTA Video they would definitely classify as the greatest comments ever read....
+Sunni Daze He's old now lol he would look stupid trash talking right now
qaaq james age has nothing to do with it. Trump old and looks now he speaks. Some people have class some don't. Yella displayed class
Yella don't want no beef.
X Mane Big Soulja does
oh yea
+Sea Lettuce right!! grown men shit
He prob never did...ren pushed buttons
X Mane It because he don’t wanna get into no mess...
Yella is one good fella. Doesn't want to start drama. Doesn't want to add to drama. Let the past be the past. The bad be the bad. Cherish your good times, people.
To think that THIS guy was NWA... You can really see how time can change a person. It's honestly amazing.
But back then, he was never the wild type of Nigga anyway tho. It’s not like how shyne became an ambassador. Yella is who he is then.
He knows more then he's saying honestly
Alexis Smith u sexy as hell dam !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chris durden trying to shoot ur shot in a youtube comment section...
of course, thats what you do when talking about friends
Notice when the interviewer kept asking if there was confrontation with NWA and Cube, he always said "not the group". They sent people on Cube.
I wish more people were like DJ Yella. You can tell he's a very cool humble dude with good intentions. Out of all the NWA cats, I'd probably most want to be friends with Yella.
+Thulsa Doom lmao big ups
Yeah but Dre is a billionaire.
Radz So you'd be friends with Dre because he's a billionaire? That's not a real friendship. That's just being fake and greedy. Fuck that, I'd rather have real friends who actually give a shit about me.
Well when ur directing porn. I'd be living a happy life too XD
+Tony Vega oh yeah he's real "humble" that's why he produced 500 PORNO films...
If Ice Cube had been on the 2nd album it would have been one of the greatest rap albums ever made.
It was one of the best rap albums ever made. Also reguarded by many as Dres best production
SIR ROUND SOUND yeah, imagine Cube rapping over beats like N4L and Appetite for Destruction. Would have been great.
That album IS one of the best ever!!!
Man I never thought about that - whew that would have been NASTY
Yeah but we wouldn't have got AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate which WERE two of the greatest rap albums ever made
We all have to admit ice cube was the best member on NWA
I put my money on mc Ren. Dats just my opinion
Ren was my dude
arabian prince was the best
History shows Dr. Dre was the best one...
But what about the D.O.C before his accident?
Drinking game: take a shot every time you hear yella say "oh yeah"
too late...bottle finished ... maybe next wave
burp! oh sorry, excuse me.., maybe i should have tried this before i had started drinking hours ago!!!
Hey, Sergeant Gaben, are you trying to give folks alcohol poisoning?!
I’d need to grow a new liver prior to that game. 😂

Yes lmaooo
+Breanna Ward "I don't know bout all that"
+Breanna Ward "Thats why Ima fuck his bitch"
can't be scared of a grown man in high heels lololololol
+Breanna Ward lol yeah and his reaction was reflected in the movie just like that
Damn bro, Yella held it down till the very end 😭 it's like everyone just left him but he was still around no matter what. Much respect 💯
"G**DAMN I'M GLAD Y'ALL SET IT OFF!"
That first line makes you wonder if Cube had some of this stuff brewing before the split; he's pretty smart. It seems like he started to realize Heller was running game but wanted to give him a chance to rectify the issue, but finally left when he realized Heller wasn't gonna break bread.
You think you could pick else that needs to be filled out sometime soon to spend time with the family
@@stevewoodson4635
huh?
He didn’t even say that lol. He said “god damn I’m glad y’all said it all”
@@jordankerr1 He definitely said set it off. He had some pent-up anger over how Jerry Heller treated him and drove a wedge between the group. That whole situation was a powder keg and N.W.A. lit the fuse when they dissed him
Trombonebone okay guy😂you know I’ve cube so well. Sounds like your turning something that’s not a conspiracy into a conspiracy. Not even the right words
I like that he doesn't want to get in the mess again
Joseph Huff This dude is wishy-washy during this interview, but now he's directing black porn.
Joseph Huff yellow was a down ass dude, he was really real to Eric Wright true friends til the end.
I concur!
Chungus
He wants no parts of it🤣
I don't lame him for not wanting to be a messy person.
Exactly.. He did it like a man's man. Vlad wasn't getting the dirt from Yella.
lame
lame
Yella always been the laid back one. Whatever happened he was always cool with it
*blame
I respect DJ Yella's maturity💯
This is text book on how to survive in the hood. Don't talk about folks behind their back, mind your own business, don't speak on issues that don't concern you, leave the speculating to the punk ass police, and if you have something to say about someone say it to them, in private vs. with someone else when they aren't around. Real OG right chere.
dre better not of made yella pay for them beats lol
chris zanotti nah he gets them for free. i have yella on facebook lol
+chris zanotti Lmfao!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
***** he never owned them out right to begin with.
+L1am21 Beats by Dre?
DJ Yell look like those old chinese Kung Fu master
lmao
BlacKid And Sebas lol
What?
Probably why he's called "Yella"
Lmao I was thinking the same
14:43 Yella says he didn't touch the Fifty150 EP while wearing a Fifty150 shirt.
Lmao
Interviewer: remember that 20$ u owe me?
Yella: oh yeah

Sugar knight or suge knight didnt have anything to do with it
Yella is the Switzerland of NWA.. Takes no sides but the only thing, he is loyal. To add, Yella made some cheese doing the porno (director, producer, writer) thing for about a decade or so.
Does that mean what he says is not biased? Or that he is not telling the whole truth? I honestly feel that he knows more and has stronger opinions but just hates the way the media just spins shit. So just doesn't give them anything to spin.
please explain i wanna know
He stuck with Eazy-E after the NWA broke up and was the only NWA member who attended Eazy's funeral.
Dennis Gadulka true
who would want to see their brother getting buried? you gotta understand these was young men coming from all types of struggling backgrounds grew up in compton LA slauson one of the hardest spots to grow up especially during the rodney king police brutality don king etc , just so much. No men back then really did know how to cope or show emotion , flashback to the movie where cube left the hospital immediately.
Yella is such a respectable person and you can tell by the way he handled this particular interview. He never put words in the mouths of those who weren't there, because he realizes that it isn't his place to give out information on certain situations; since he either doesn't have all of the details and the details he does have are better left unsaid, and left in the past. He's such a laid back guy. Respect, Yella!
This is a fantastic interview. I gotta say the questions were great and the way yella held himself throughout was amazing. Keep it up
People don't know DOC was a legend in the making before accident.
thats a fact tho
+Achilles Caezar The Formula!!!!!!
Achilles Caezar For real. Also he wrote a bunch of Dre's and Eazy's rhymes after Cube went solo. No One Can do it Better is a classic album.
+Achilles Caezar To me he was the strongest lyricist in the group
+Philly J not only them he wrote for Snoop as well. dude was a beast.
I Love U Yella you were a real friend to Eazy E right up
till death & Funeral..He picked you as a godfather for his kid (great choice)
And I 've seen you been down for all of Eazy E Kids like a real Uncle...
I Love & Respect U 4 that Much Love!! Yella.

Ice cube went easiest on yella😂 that’s why didn’t he much of a problem with it
He's right. The production on the second album was phenomenal
1dookiestain and the lyricism was on another planet
dj yella spoke real shit to the dude askin questions even tho the dude askin questions was lowkey tryna get somethin outta dj yella. dj yella stayed true to wat happened
It seemed like he was instigating shit
Dj yella didn't want to get in trouble or start problems
You guys new to djvlad? He does his thing but can be a real pole polisher sometimes.
Ayo Dunkit yella always told the story the best. he wasn't bitter or hateful about anything that happened
Everyone knew Cube won with that one..One of the best diss songs ever and proved who was the best rapper in the group.
Yep he was & the main lyricist of the group
I made Death Row Records Remixes Come listen to it if you want😉👍peace🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was an amazing interview and you asked every question I wanted to know. Great job!
Got damn, I'm glad ya'll set off.

SHOUT OUT TO YELLA FOR WEARING THE "BEATS" ... ✌ ... RESPECT
What he's saying is damn near exactly what happened in the movie... If that had put everything in the movie it would of been 5 hours long lol
DJ ShaqTown 100 hours long
+djvlad lol definitely
+DJShaqTown i would have liked that
i wish it was
100 hours long, no problem, it's very interessant
Yella is is a smart dude!! He knows vlads rep for brain picking. yella knows what to say and what not to say! Respect to DJ YELLA
I remember meeting him couple years ago when he came to talk to all of us in Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall about god. He’s a cool cat.
real g's keep thier mouth shut. Yella is still a boss.
Dj yella looks so much older than the other nwa members
he is older than everyone else
Except eazy
Andre is the oldest
well living wise
Eazy is born 1964 not 63
DJ Yella always comes off as a good dude , he stays humble. You don’t get that from legends that much.
Living legend right here I always come back to this interview every month or so just so I can peep game.
the interview was getting me tight like stop tryna pressure him into somethingg he don't wanna talk about tf.
Leon Anderson to interview people.... not force them to talk about something you know that makes them uncomfortable
Leon Anderson First and foremost you don’t know me so don’t speak on if “i’m tough or not” secondly he is grown as hell and you could tell he didn’t wanna speak on certain things because certain things don’t need to be said on the internet. Also as a professional journalist you learn that if it’s evident they don’t wanna talk about it move on, because then at that point you’re wasting the interview by trying to get them answer questions they don’t wanna answer and you’ve wasted time.
Leon Anderson i’m assuming you have your journalism degree?
Leon Anderson you are angry! furious to say the least!😂 Have a nice day Mr. Anderson, stay blessed.
@Mariah J Let me preface this by saying this is not an attack and that I realize this comment is old. I just saw this video cus I have nothing better to do. Familiar with Clad, can't stand him but I saw Yells so I clicked. Worth.
Anyway he's not a journalist. He goes by DJ Vlad. He's a journalist the same way everyone on The View or The Real is a journalist. He does these interviews for internet traffic, doesn't seem to care about whether or not the feedback is positive. He's still getting paid.
He's a gossip columnist with a different platform that is almost exclusively based off of hip hop/hip hop history -- really just gossip at this point. Almost every interview is intentionally crafted to get someone to talk shit about someone else. His bread and butter was recording Lord Jamar talking shit about Eminem although that dead horse may finally be allowed to rest in peace at this point.
He's not Anderson Cooper, more like Maury Paurovich or whatever his last name is and he seems content with that. He will never conduct interviews the way a professional journalist should. It seems like professional journalists don't do that anymore either.
lovin these Yella interviews
+Flowdeep The Producer he's like that cool uncle that understands life
same. great look back into nwa with no filter
Flowdeep The Producer Yella is the real homie. He ain't saying shit about none of his boyz. You can speculate all ya want. But you didn't hear it from me! That's what I get from people who really don't need to do these interviews. They'll share a bit for the sake of information but ya'll don't need to know all my business.

Vlad tried & tried to get the beef cooking up again
... but yella was like... "listen youngboy, uh-uhh"
Calls him Eric instead of easy, and everyone else he named by there rap names. Respect.
Something about the way Vlad says "Yeah" and "Sure" just comes off as disingenuous and disrespectful.
Wendall Lytle I agree
how?
bruh u hella lame
I think he was just annoyed he wasn't getting more dirt out of Yella, and was subtly goading him into saying more. Yella didn't bite.
@@Acecombatrules59 when Yella reiterates 2-3 that they were they only West Coast Rappers touring Glad goes "k". He even hd that angsty teenage girl inflection.
Had Vlad have said that to me ida put a mudhole in eem n- stomp it dry
That scene in the movie with DJ Yella's reaction to the diss track was golden.
Great interview. I was captivated from start to finish. Yella seems like a real cool guy.
Yella is a true class act. Definitely impressed with how he handles interviews given all the shit that happened and all the jabs back and forth. Homey’s definitely got my respect. Definitely a cool dude
It seems that Yella was a neutral party in the whole ordeal, he doesn't sound like the type of guy to get caught up in drama and I don't think Cube even said anything about Yella. Must be a real chill guy.
+Joshua Ramsey that line didn't seem as bad compared to the stuff he said about the others.

The DOC's album was not a great album, it was one of the best rap albums of all time.
MakeufamousNDZ I agree that album was and is GREAT..Sonicly and lyrically
Ashamed he lost his voice in that car accident. Easily would have been one of the greatest ever.
MakeufamousNDZ You get props for this comment only true Hip Hoppers know about DOC!
MakeufamousNDZ If I am not mistaken DOC is from Texas?
Seeing him and watching SOC - The actor who plays DJ Yella looked AND sounded JUST LIKE HIM 😂😂😂
That movie was brilliant
I had to buy it
I watch it regularly
My uncle played the hell out of NWA when I was a lil bitty kid- now I'm 40
So I was there in the beginning of their careers❤❤❤
True artisty respects artistry. Cube's diss had to be respected. Especially from fellas you wrote for in the 1st place. That's why the Jay & Nas beef was so legit. Both artist respected each other's diss. #Respect
Big respect to Cube for not signing that jew contract. But he was also was the one with not a lot to lose since he was still a youngster when he was with NWA- he didn't have a kid, he still lived at his mom's house, and he knew he was the most lyrically talented member of the group. Of course he wanted that money but he wasn't down on getting fucked. So he went to NYC to record Amerikkkaz Most Wanted after he called it quits with NWA. The rest is history.
Not to mention Alonzo Williams always had lawyers involved whenever he did any kind of deal with Cube for his previous groups. People do what they have been shown. It's irresponsible to not have a lawyer when you sign a contract.
They played No Vaseline in the movie but they didn't play Real Motherfuckin g's diss thats bullshit
ikr
Dre and Cube were producers on the flick so the history was probably slightly altered in the film to make them look better. Obviously Dre isn't gonna want that in the movie.
+RELLIK72 yeah cause dre got absolutely fucked by eazy
They didn't include "Fuck with Dre Day" either. They left out the entire Dre vs. Eazy E beef. They probably didn't have enough time, they weren't trying to alter the story. They didn't include Arabian Prince in the movie, who was a founding member of NWA.
I think they actually left it out to make Eazy a more sympathetic character for the audience. To play up the hard times he had fallen on. Winning diss battles would have detracted from that aspect of his storyline.
NWA rules. I remember in 91 when that shit came out. it blew up here in Brockton Massachusetts even metal heads were into that album they used real musicians and played very catchy licks and hooks I got to give it to NWA they were the real deal. RAW!
Easy started his own production company, and at the same time was, successfully, working on getting NWA back together. RIP Easy. D.O.C. is also a cool cat to talk too. DJ Yella is a great interview. 🙏

No Vaseline is the best diss track of all time. Screw hit em up and ether, No Vaseline is the best.
Nah krs-one's the bridge is over is number 1 then no vaseline in my opinion
marcus glover i agree the bridge is over went pretty hard. ended mc shan's career.
The General I agree completely, ether was nothing but playground jabs. Everyone acts like it was this fucking amazing track but it still fails to impress me.
honestly the BEST diss track is when Eminem dissed Mariah & Nick Cannon 😂
1. Jadakiss - Checkmate
2. Ice Cube - No Vaseline
3. Tupac - Hit em Up
4. Fat Joe - My fofo
5. I Smell Pussy - 50 Cent
Great interview by DJ Yella. There's no lying in him. Straight to the point with his answers.
I was in high school when straight outta Compton came out and I'm a NYC kid and I absolutely LOVED the album nobody in hip hop had the balls to say what say!! Plus in 1988 people hardly curse so for them to say that the hood went crazy. That's why until this day I listen to NWA 💯💯💯✊🏾
Sorry, but NIGGAZ4LIFE is the best NWA album. Appetite For Destruction, Alwayz Into Something, Find Em Fuck Em Flee, She Swallowed It. How the fuck can you not nod your head to that album? Classic shit.
mellowman1978 I liked Straight Outta Compton a lot more.. but I do love all the NWA albums before Dre left
***** there wasn't any nwa album's after dre left. lol
yeah a classic the 2nd nwa album n it sounds like Dr dre his first album a little bit
Bro u just said nuggaz4life was your fav album in the video ...this ain't vlad
mellowman1978 I agree the only song I like from the First one is I ain't that 1. The second one was BOSS.

i wanna buy right now the beat that playd on reunion scene of the n.w.a movie is sick i want it right now !!!
The name of the show was “Pump it up” w/ Dee Barnes.
Dre beating on D from pump it up step to the Dog and get fucked up 😂😂😂
now THAT'S what you call True Sportsmanship. Ice Cube dissed N.W.A with songs like "Nigga You Love To Hate" & "No Vaseline" and N.W.A dissed Cube with "Real Niggaz", "100 Miles & Runnin'" and "Alwayz Into Somethin'" in the studio and on records. They NEVER wanted to had an actual fight over this..till date !!...This is True Sportsmanship. #RESPECT !!!
actually on Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Cube never dissed N.W.A. Cube said it himself.
Muku Singh Dude what you 20 sumtn lol just playing I'm in my 20s but Cube didn't diss NWA on The Nigga Ya Love To Hate song in fact Cube didn't diss them not one time on the Amerikkkas Most Wanted album NWA thought ice cube dissed them on this skit from Amerikkkas most Wanted album but i can't remember the name of the skit cube was like "A message to tha Oreo Cookie no matter how hard ya wanna switch here's what they think about you"then after cube said that this racist white guy goes on to say how much he hates Black People and there culture after and after that Cube said "Now think about it fuckin sell out"NWA heard this and thought Cube was addressing them and Jerry Heller situation but Cube wasn't talking bout them the first actual diss Cube did was on "Kill at Will EP" on "Jackin Fo Beatz" because NWA dissed him on "100 Miles n Runnin"
Ice cube was the best out of NWA
Mc ren was underrated though
+keith cozart thank you!
+keith cozart And no one ever remembers Yella
well yeah no one remember him because hes not relevant no more. Ice Cube is in movies and Dre is selling overpriced headphones and producing the rappers of tomorrow. thats why they are still remembered
I always thought mc ren was the best
When DOC hit the mic, it was like....ohhhhhh shit! I'm telling you, if Doc didn't have that accident, he would've gave Cube a run for the crown! Doc's lyrics was bang'n and his voice and a variety of tempo's made him dangerous on the mic! The whole city was sad when Doc got hurt i swear! Even after all this time, we still say maaaaan if Doc didn't get hurt, it would've been a totally different scene on the west coast. And yes i still have Doc's album in my rotation...please believe! Shout out to Gardena and yall stay safe✌🏾💯
This is all true. I was a little kid, about 13, when all of this was happening, and everyone who lived in the "jail jays" (projects near my neighborhood) was heart broken and believed in NWA and the DOC. EVERYONE in Bakersfield was on NWA'a jock, but i loved Cube.
But it was so sad with a bunch of memorials for The DOC when it happened.
Yella doesnt want beef,he is really friendly and he was the only one in the group that didnt wanna fight with eachother
You just felt the fire behind _No Vaseline_. I know I did. O'Shea always wins though. For years, I took what he said literally in _No Vaseline_. I enjoyed this interview, Vladimir.
U nothice Vlad said 4life instead of the first that man is smart even though it's a title of a song really don't mean nothing
I honestly feel this movie should of been a trilogy. Part 1, NWA and how they formed ending with their break up. Part 2, all about their conflicts and how they went solo with their respective record labels such as death row, should include all the diss battles, as these diss videos were huge for hip hop at that time, the fights, all of that, ending with Eazy-E's death of Aids and how they all came together and put their differences aside. Part 3, pretty simple with Aftermath and how NWA has influenced and shaped rap artists of today, such as Eminem and 50 cents. Their so much more possibilities if they would of done it this way, but I do not think they thought the movies was going to be as successful as it is, I know they thought it would of been really good, but it has been the best hip hop biopic by far and all types of critics have loved it.
Part 3 is all known. It was so well documented the fall out between Dre and Suge.
It would’ve made for a great tv show/series with all the story and what went on
Great interview!
MC Ren Shock of the Hour I believe was his first solo. Got some good tracks
These have been my favorite interviews lately
therealsatisfy thanks - more coming
therealsatisfy Same here. I really enjoyed when he was talking to Bigg Tray Deee, too. Hopefully he'll interview the OG more.

The show with Dee Barnes was "Pump It Up". I still have that episode with the Cube/NWA thing on VHS.
"yo this ice cube on pump it up and I got all suckers 100 miles and running.(changes voice to raspy) like to give shout out to the DOC,punks u can't fade me." & Yella on some interview at Eazy house(?) stomps on a actual ice cube when IceCube is mentioned. if memory serves
Yep and got dee Barnes slapped about by dre
Yella seems like a nice guy. The exact opposite of how they portrayed there image as a group. Love seeing such a positive attitude.
I like how yella is almost never attacked, he was always the chillest
Yella is right on one thing: "Straight Outta Compton" was lyrically better, but "NIGGAZ4LIFE" was better produced, beat wise.
(ie: Ya'll ain't shit without Ice Cube... ah haaaaaah)
6IXVI Super nah, Ice Cube wrote 70% of their stuff. Without Cube most of their songs wouldn’t be stomping like it did when Cube wrote. They all head major roles (not discrediting them) but Cube was a key role.
Whoever is interviewing is annoying. He is cutting Yella off, its almost like he is just like yeah, yeah, next. Unauthentic! He just want to hear the dirt and nothing else.
Welcome to about every single interview
+The Joker Terry Gross is a very engaged interviewer that allows the interviewee to lead somewhat. Sounds like a natural conversation. She's one of many examples of talented interviewers.
That's DJ Vlad for ya... he will do that when he's not getting the answers he wants/expected... he's the kind of interviewer that already answers his questions before the interview. He's very knowledgeable and can do a good interview with good questions, but that same knowledge is also the thing that can make his interviews terrible... and he can be a kind of an instigator.
Agreed
Agreed, and hes extremely arrogant.
Yella is so underrated and I am not talking about just talent here, he's so cool and laid back, dude just chilling and giving out good vibes. Gotta love that attitude
out of all interviews of old school ,ive never seen someone talking so fresh,active and happily.
Yella has to be the most chill, laid back person on earth. It's like everything just flows off of him like water. The dude isn't trying to be hard at all. That is exactly how you should be when you are older. Right now, Yella seems like the suburban next door neighbor that you (or your dad, for you youngsters) have back yard BBQs with in the summer, while discussing what is the better grill, charcoal or propane.
It always wierds me out when Vlad has interviews with some old ass Gangsta from the '90s, and he is still acting like he will pull a drive by today at the drop of a hat like he is still a teenager. I keep thinking "Dude, you are 40 or 50 years old, you should have dropped that hard-ass gangsta shit about two decades ago."
I could sit and listen to Yella for hours. That's a good dude right there. For those of us that grew up in the era of the forming of nwa, we were fortunate. Even though it was some of the hardest, most negative music ever created, it was immensely monumental. Not to mention, way better than today's bullshit rap music. Brings back a lot of memories. Crazy shit
Right on!
Beginning of factual street-life representation and possible source for social turnaround, with more vivid potential than that kinda sectarian, too smooth and unoffending, yet highly valuable conscious rap. Swing & missed -- due to grease balls, thrown by the industry.
A short timespan, before label CEOs threw X in the mix and said:
"Dance, and be bright and funny! Talk about elitist shit, like "striving for the top". Even though it'll coin you as sellouts, while churning out the devils lil' goodies to perfectly furnish juuust your own life. Then you go out and tell the masses they could be a star just like you, while trying not to laugh hysterically into their faces."
The sound was and still is Amazing
great interview..
On "Pump it Up", Cube said something like "I'm having suckas a 100 miles and runnin... I'd like to say what's up to The D.O.C.", so obviously it was a response to NWA's diss. Then Cube jabbed them again on the movie Boyz n the Hood where Cube (Doughboy) and his boys stomped out the guy wearing the We Want Eazy t shirt. I remember this stuff like it was 20 something years ago :)
word? i know which exact scene but i never peeped the shirt
Damn was that when dude tried to snatch Dookie's chain?
I remember I was laughing so hard at that part of Boyz in the Hood
Meek Pose umm.. yeh, yeh. He tried to snatch one of their chains. And i think Tony Toni Tone's "Me and You" was playing during that scene. Yes, the whole damn theatre was rolling when they beat the dude down. And i think this was before "No Vaseline", if I am not mistaken. Hell, he won the beef just on the strength of this scene.
+kweli05 yup, I remember that episode. I used to tape "Pump it Up" every week. and when Cube said "I'd like to say what's up to The D.O.C.," he was mimicking D.O.C.'s [post-car accident] voice. and ended with "y'all can't play me."
this will get millions of views when it's said and done
You wrong
+djvlad Of course it will.
+djvlad it's almost at 1 milly kinda
What do you mean?
he said that through time this video will get millions of views.....
You gotta love Yella man, his personality is awesome, if it's a war and he's in the middle of it he wouldn't give a f about it, he wants peace, that's the kind of man that is so rare to find, especially in this world now
Dude is super humble. These young punks will never compare to oldschool. These dudes were really bout that shit.
Skip to 8:05 to hear what he has to say about the "No Vaseline" song. He doesn't say what the title of the video insinuates he says. All he says is yeah we heard it, nobody really got upset we just said okay you got us. He never says the group lost some mythical rap beef, just admits it was a good song.
He's right. Niggaz4Life was way better than Straight Outta Compton.
+HAHA HAHA He was talking about the EP - 100 Miles and RUnning EP being better than Niggaz 4 Life ALBUM.
+HoodgrownProductions sorry I commented before I heard the very end of the interview.
+HoodgrownProductions Booooooo
I believe it was said "100 miles and running" was the better album... I kinda thought so too.
+HAHA HAHA hmmmmmm Jim?
With Ice Cube being my favourite rapper he would have still made it to the top on his own very talented gift to hip-hip
kinda sad how yella, ren, prince, and the D.O.C. are mainly forgotten about while ice cube is in movies makin millions and dre is filthy rich.
let’s be honest. ren had good ass bars but he was nothing compared to cube. same with yella good ass beats but nothing compared to dre
