- Part 2: • Neil deGrasse Tyson on...
--------
Neil deGrasse Tyson came through for his first-ever VladTV interview, where Vlad started off giving him his flowers for his contribution to the science world. Neil then spoke about being raised in the Bronx by his father, who was the Human Resource Commissioner in the 1960s under Mayor John Lindsay. While speaking about his mother, Neil explained that his mother was a Gerontologist for the federal government. Neil then detailed growing up in the Castle Hill housing projects until they were forced out when his father started making more money. When asked about the Bronx in the 1970s, Neil explained that there was a neighborhood feel, but he added that there were parts that were falling down. Vlad then asked Neil about hip-hop being born in the Bronx in the 1970s, and he explained that since he lived in a different area of the borough, he only learned of it like the rest of the world. Neil added that people were losing their minds over the birth of hip-hop, which you can hear more about above. - Zábava
We need more interviews from black scientist and scholars, too many rappers and criminals getting all the attention.
Right on
That's how Vlad makes his money. Rappers and drug dealers have a habit of getting killed more than scientists and scholars. Those flashbacks make him money too!
Facts
Y’all didn’t give a sht about them in school. Why the interest now?
@@VoteForBukelewere YOU in school with EVERY Black person? Or are you speaking from your experiences as a white supremacists?
Neal is going to make sure he gets interviewed on every major internet/CZcams platform before he dies. Dude pops up on everything. Keep grinding!!
@@CantTellYou Huh???
Neil. Show some respect.
This dude is sooo intelligent I could listen to him talk all day, thanks for this interview.
Not 85 south
@@CantTellYou But he hasn't though..? 😅
Vlad: your dad is black and your mom is Puerto Rican
Neil: 🤔 they were just my parents
He's stopping the BS now.
What an embarrassing question
Nitpicking the one negative part of the first clip. SMH some people think they get paid being resident vlad haters here. Doubt you would have even took notice of this part if its wasnt for Neil's odd response. It's a legitimate question about his upbringing. The basis of this first clip.
☑ 💯
He think he white
Neil will end up interrupting Vlad more than Vlad interrupts him during this interview 😊
Neil is smarter.
We can only hope
As he should.
Vlad doesn't interrupt anywhere near as much as he used
Lmaoooo listen....this the comment
The passion Neil has when discussing science and astronomy is amazing. He genuinely gets hype. Especially when he’s asked a really good question lol
Currently watching from castle hill projects…damn. Anything is possible
Boot side ?
Facts, you are a product of what you put your energy into.
nah the only thing possible for you is the penitentiary nigga. you can't even perform 5th grade math how the fuck are you going to become an astrophysicist? didn't you get message? They have a one-nigga-a-decade racial quota and that position is filled nigga. They only thing your gonna be filling is food orders.
but sure anything is possible 🤣🤣🤣
@@Pa19110 facts, Neil is proof, no excuses! You don’t have to be a gangbanging thug to get out ! You just have to actually put in work…
I am Nigerian and I get sick of the criminal mindedness of the rappers gloating about their criminal past. Thanks for this Vlad
Many Africans are starting to get on that tip now tho. Kinda crazy
Aren’t there warlords and terrorists over there in Africa?
@brianking4225 Yes. In some parts but mostly the Sahel Desert.
Big shout-out to VladTV for this one. Definitely going to need more interviews like this.
“So you’re from the Bronx, the birth place of Hip Hop. I’d like your scientific take on Nas’s beat selection…”
My favorite quote form his book is, "The universe is under no obligation make sense to you." 💯
What book is it
Great quote
That's hard!!!
My mom's parents were both fluent in English and Spanish and did not teach their children to speak Spanish for exactly the same reason Neil didn't learn Spanish at home. It feels like a lost part of our history. My great grandfather immigrated from Italy, but never spoke another word of Italian once he learned English, even though he was hard to understand because his accent was so thick.
this the crossover i never knew would happen 😭
FAAAAAX
This is undoubtedly Vlad’s greatest interviewee 😤💯💯 NDT 🐐
I don't know Micheal Jai White is always good. Plenty of others but this puts a spin the usual.
MJW is one of the first that got me on Vlad in the first place! But NDT has a mind that’s like no other!
This interview is a breath of fresh air
Breath
@@creativemindplay got my boy editing his comment.
Probably the best person you could have interviewed.
Na, this dude is a fraud.
2 parent home. Father works. Mother takes care of the kids. Education oriented. Dropping the blueprints of success.
Vlad- "your dad is black and mom is Puerto Rican"
😂😂😂😂I’m at work and laughed out loud at this comment
Vlad is getting the real interviews
What he said about the Bronx in the real 70s still rings true till about 2013-2016. I grew up in the South part of the bronx (I’m only 20) and i’ve seen buildings literally breaking apart and people living in rat infested basements but nowadays they’ve repairing basically everything from the roads, to the sidewalks and broken homes. I fear gentrification and the increase of cost of living may come as collateral
I can't wait for full interview to drop. Make him a regular guest
Knowing Neil was from the Bronx, I’ve always wanted someone to ask him about Hip Hop
Damn.... this is the interview I never saw coming 😮
Neil is one of greatest of our time.
Greatest fraud of all time.
Neil.
Nah.... Sylvester James Gates and those of that ilk
@@johnsondoeboy2772 Why isn't Neil one of them
@@silewis9396 For the same reason that Bill Nye the science guy isn’t one of them. NDT does a great job bringing scientific concepts to the average Joe… but he isn’t someone known for contributing much to the scientific community outside of that.
“They were my parents..” Neil calling Vlad out for bringing race into it was great !
I predict that Vlad will somehow find a way to mention being flown out by BMF
And Tupac as well
Floored me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you know suge?
Holy hell NDT himself!!! I'm in the science field and he is one of my heroes. I've gotten more criticism from my own black community for being curious and wondering about space. He brings normality and even prestige to that curiosity and I LOVE IT!
So you were explicitly criticized by other (adult) black people for being in STEM? I’m black and in STEM and never has anyone criticized me for it
@@Tyler-ei2ectrust me we not as open minded as we like to think
@@tuneteenth what are you specifically talking about though? I’m from a predominantly black city and I’m in data science. Not once has a black person disparaged me for working in STEM. I want an example of a time you or him were explicitly disparaged simply for working in STEM. Frankly, it rubs me the wrong way when black people get in the comments making negative generalizations about other black people, so I’d like a specific example; otherwise, I call bullshit
@@Tyler-ei2ecthere’s more experiences out here than just yours.
@@Tyler-ei2ec why are you trying to discredit someone else’s experience just cause YOU had a different outcome? Lmao
literally asked for this interview 3 years ago...better late than never Vlad...
Always been a fan of Neil good to see him here !
From Kefee D to Neil , VLAD you are the GOAT
Thanks Andres
@@vladtv Vlad why isn't this full interview released for members? I've been waiting forever for this interview now you're doing the Boosie move on every interview?
I find the notion of Neil deGrasse Tyson grooving to the beats of Rapper's Delight absolutely delightful.
Student at C.S 102 which is not far from Castle Hill and Parckchester back in the 90s, and I remember our class trip to the museum and seeing this dude. He reminded me of my Pops but...black because they look alike.
This is definitely an interview. I am definitely looking forward to watching this gentleman is one of the smartest men and he has a way of telling you the most complex things and dumbing them down to where the average person can understand them. Good job on this one. Glad! Now let's see if we can get you to let him tell a story instead of you telling it for him
I believe it was Einstein that said if you can't explain a subject simply enough, you don't understand it enough. The way he breaks it down shows that he fully understands what he's talking about.
@@time2rowco999 I don't know who said it but it definitely makes sense and this dude definitely knows a lot
love and respect for this dude, when he talks we all get a little smarter🫡
I like how he told him 1st “It’s Just Neil” checced him at the gate 😂
No he didn't, he said just neal is fine lol no one checked no one you bozo. It's not that serious
G checked him like a real scientist 😂… Neil too tough !
Im excited for these Dr Tyson interviews!!!
Dr Steven greer
Even tho I'm not going too, this would be the episode I pay for to watch in full.
I was thinking the same thing
I wanna see Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy in a Verzuz battle.
😂😂😂😂 what??
Bill would get washed. Neil is actually a scientist
Bill first song going be 67 genders
@@brett444bill isn't a scrub he has held his own with Neil on star talk especially because Neil graduated from the mechanical and aerospace engineering program at Cornell university.
@@BigCakes45no that would be your mind since that is what you have in your mind while bill has aerospace in his.
Also, gender and GENETIC sex are two different things scientifically. I am a MLS that has worked in genetics with patients who have xxy, x, chromosomes. So their genotype and phenotype are not the same. So please stop using our science to explain your bigotry since the topic is too complicated for your morons to understand.
I will be definitely watching the full interview. So glad you got him on here!!! :)
I've been waiting on this interview
Why didn't Vlad drop it for his members?
My guy Neil is from the bronx and he Puerto Rican! That’s tough 🔥
Whaaaaa! Can’t wait to take in this interview! 🙌🏾
I love you vlad…you’re not the most eloquent when asking questions but a top ten journalist all time … number 1 on content easy
That question about hip hop’s birth aligning with neil’s teenage years was specific af and clutch. Great example of being a good interviewer.
Hype for this interview
WHERES THE FULL INTERVIEW AT VLAD???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vlad should explain to his members that the only interviews he will post the full versions are the ones nobody cares about. The "full interviews" only applies to his weekly Yayo releases that nobody cares about
This is the interview we've needed. Long overdue
Where's the full video glad
keep it up vlad im loving the material you been putting out !
Much overdue thank you for putting this man on your platform and actually doing the interview yourself, looking forward for more positive uplifting interviews
I agree , idk why everybody hates on vlad, his voice idk or he just knows exactly what he wants to ask and he makes things a bit funny sometimes
What Vlad wanted to ask:
Vlad: So...Castle Hill huh? That's a pretty dangerous neighborhood....any fights growing up? Did you do drugs? How about members of your family? Anybody catch a body? Have you ever shot anyone? Been to jail?..
Neil:.......excuse me??
"And If you've been to jail, have you witness any man on man action? If so can you describe in great detail what you saw? Just tell me slowly though. Before you start let me grab my lotion KNAWMEAN?"
Castle Hill was not dangerous back then... It started in the late 70's into the 80's as people got pushed up from Hunts Point. But in the 60's and early 70's Castle Hill was seen as nice.
One of my favorite interviews
This will be a dope interview!
Thank you Vlad for bringing us these amazing guests
One of My Favorite ppl interviewing One of My Favorite ppl 💯
I never knew he is from the Bronx 😮😮😮
This just caught me by surprise, well done Vlad.
Vlad had no idea what he was getting into doing an interview with Neil. He speaks in poems and is a little awkward, but my favorite scientist of all time. His book Astrophysics in a hurry is awesome for anyone wanting to learn the basics.
This is what we needed VLAD!!!! THANK YOU
I was today years old when I found out Neil deGrasse Tyson is half Puerto Rican! My mind is blown!
Nigga whaaaaaaattt!!! Let's go NDT on Vlad! This officially the BLACK MAN youtube channel. Yall be mad at the Russian all u want, he done made a great archive of BLACK MEN stories from varied walks of life.
Leave it up to Vlad to put a magnifying glass on ethnicity. Black/Puerto Rican parents are a very common thing in NYC. Especially in the Bronx. Also, if you really wanna get down to it his parents are from the Caribbean basically.
Also in NYC, Puerto Ricans not necessarily speaking a lot of Spanish isn’t a huge thing either. Despite of the reasons.
With all that said, I do appreciate Vlad hating him into discussions on race because it is important that certain subjects/topics are brought up for the sake of perspective.
Finally a guest that will talk more than Vlad lol
VERY informative guy, i use to watch the TV series he had years back on the universe. 🌌
I remember randomly watching him review some movies like interstellar and Man of Steel then watching his Joe Rogan interviews now any time I see a interview from with him I immediately click on them. Need more stuff like this for the younger Black kids to see.
And Latino kids
Anytime I see Neil deGrasse Tyson being interviewed,I stop and listen. Love❤ how he politely corrects and responds to DJVlad with an entire history as part his response 🙂.
Key and Peele's skit about Neil is hilarious 😂
They were just my parents 😂 I feel you Neil…. White dad…black mom… mom raising me as a black man and I’m like mom my dad is a whole white guy 😂😂
Self hate🤦🏽🤣
??? Both his parents are black she just a lightskin puerto rican
@@MyNewYorkCity. Dude wants to identify with his father also so it's self hate? How Sway?
@@2004doody comprehension, is the key to life . Figure it out🤦🏽♂️
@@2004doody probably because in the scope of life, how he sees himself isn't as relevant as how the world sees him, which is as whatever his skin tone is. He can wish to identify with the white side all he wants, but he's still black to anyone who wishes to use that against him. Any systemically-driven race issues that may come his way won't be stopped because he identifies with his dad's side.
You bring a world renowned astrophysicist on your channel. And clip #1 is still all about the f**kery. Surprising. 😂
Introducing his background is “fuckery”? 🤔
"world renowned" ?!?!?!?
LMFAO!! please stop!!!! Go do some research PLEASE!!!!!
His interview with Patrick Bet-David is a PERFECT example of how CLUELESS and ignorant this PRETEND "scientist" truly is. Dude is a PURE clown.
He exposed himself as an ignorant clown for the world to see. Literally said the COVID vaccines "stop the spread" of COVID 2 years AFTER we knew they didnt AND said the government has the right to FORCE people to take it. SMFH
He literally said, "i dont believe in debating"... he is a COMPLETELY clown and is ONLY KNOWN because of his appearances in shows and movies where he pretends to be a scientist.
He will say ANYTHING you pay him to say, He is NOTHING MORE then a shill for Big Pharma. He is as much a scientist as Bill Nye
Nothing but brains and smarts, up in his family. 2 smart ppl got together and created, a genius, cause this man is off the hook.
This is gonna be a classic! Great job Vlad
I hope this is a 3 hour video. Also can only hope that this is a pivot for Vlad where he does more intellectual thought provoking interviews
Bout 56 parts
Vlad loves to interview a rapper or a criminal or both. Such a breath of fresh air to have an interview like this. Well done Vlad
“the universe always make good material” words from NEIL. 💐
Yeeeaaahhh!! My boy!! One of the world's BRILLIANT minds!! I know this is gonna be FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LMFAO!! please stop!!!! Go do some research PLEASE!!!!!

What a great man. And more importantly a great human being. Inspiring
He's a fake intellect, what are you on? Ask him about the vaccine, dude will start sweating..
@@JoshuaRivers-us7xt LOL, stupid Republitard 😂
Thins is going to be a good one interview 💪🔥
I’m ready for this crossovers
I can't believe this guy is on Vlad 😂🤣
I know right, I was like "dafuq??" 😂
Why? Vlad Likes Smart Guys
@anisezettecarey2448 Because it looks weird. He's just one of those guys I never expect to see on Vlad.
He just had the Jussie Smolett co-conspirators on.. He might as well get another fake.
Neil will do almost any media
Two parent homes with parents who care make all the difference.
Good interview enjoy this
Bro has a narrative voice even in an interview.
Much respect to the one behind the Camera
Neil: How ever far I floated in the sky, my feet were anchored.
Vlad 🥴: …. Well your dad was black and your mom was Puerto Rican
Neil: 😐
Vlad: yeah yeah yeah, so ur Black and Hispanic..?? 🤔 🤔 😂😂
Love this!
I cannot believe that neil is on vladtv. I watch startalk everyday even if its years old, i think he's spreading his way to make us think like scientists...like bill bye. Im from the hood in Watts, California and i think this is incredible! This dude is like Carl Sagan and Albert Einstein. He can figure out how to stop gang violence. Wow!
PLEASE STOP, this dude is a SHILL, and is no where CLOSE to be one of our top scientist...
This guy STILL argues that the vaccines WORK to stop spread of COVID.... LMFAO!!!!
This guy literally said "i think debate isnt a good thing".... He is nothing but an authoritarian shill for corporate America. Patrick Bet-David COMPLETELY destoryed this clown and showed the WHOLE WORLD his level of ignorance, bias, and lack of critical thinking.
He will talk for 5 minutes while saying NOTHING, talking slow while he TRIES to think of how he can sound smart. This guy is NO WHERE CLOSE to being in the same sentence with Carl Sagan or Albert Einstein...
Neil has done NOTHING to help move society ahead. He is just a Hollywood scientist that will shill for the Government and corporate America. That is the ONLY reason he is on TV shows, ect.
You can even name a SINGLE accomplishment Neil has made in his ENTIRE career. Not a SINGLE discovery, theory, NOTHING. He was just pushed by the MEDIA since he will say whatever he is told to say.
I don’t think he can figure out how to end gang violence if he’s not in the hood himself.
@@LOSTGPSwho cares he is an example that's you don't have to be rappers or gang bangers.
@@kristalraya730 yea an example that most hood/street niggas aren’t paying attention too, which makes it nugatory for transforming them.
Watch this video gets waaay less views than the other interviews smh
Gang violence is easy to solve. White people don’t want to hear the answers.
Vlad is gonna find a way to bring up 2Pac and how he was gonna interview Alpo
Dude from the Bronx and turned out to be one of the smartest black men in this country, Dude had God beside throught his whole journey 🙏🏽💯
THIS... deserves the membership cuh. But im still holdin' out.
Neil's parents come from an era where becoming Americanized was more important than maintaining their culture or heritage. Most of The Bronx was burning in the 1970s. The Bronx was a shit hole back then. Hip Hop really jumped off in the early 1980s not the mid 1970s.
Look like a war zone
The South and West Bronx were burned out. The East and North Bronx were still nice in the 70's. And hip hop jumped off in the South and West Bronx in the 70's. It started to hit everywhere else in the 80's
Great one VLAD!
Where's my popcorn, this is going to be fire
I can’t wait to watch this whole interview. I had no idea Neil was from the Bronx, not too far from me.
This one gonna be litty
AYYYE I NEEDED THIS ONE
I feel like this might turn into a space 2pac interview
The crossover episode I didn’t know I needed
Glad to see a positive brother on here!!! We do more than sell drugs, and terrorize our communities! Salute to this brother right here!
Bro, open your eyes. Neil pushes the pharmaceutical drugs more than anyone. Do your research and look up his history. So yea, He does sell drugs. Just the ones the Government tries to force you to take.
@@JoshuaRivers-us7xt What a dumbass comment 😂
Neil is going to be an amazing guest. Lots of content and educational also. Hopefully it inspires others.
My bro from da Bronx. Castle Hill projects. That's crazy. Southeast bronx
I never clicked so damn fast in my life 🤣🤣 Vlad has met his match of interruptions and interviewing themselves lmao but seriously fucks with Neil 💯
Wow, this guy is very intelligent, I'm surprised Vlad has interviewed someone like him. Such a break from the many air heads he likes to have on his show. Even Vlad won't really understand some of the things that Neil talks about.
