If Drake signed to Def Jam at that time he wouldve either only had 1 album and done, or he wouldve never even had an album come out. At that point in time Lil Wayne was the hottest rapper in the world and is a large oart of drakes success. Which Drake has even stated before. Yes Drake is very talented, but theres a ton of talented artists that never see the light of day and they get lost in the shuffle at the labels. Drake signing with Cash Money was the best move he could ever make in his career.
My exact thoughts. Wayne’s hype at the time and his loyal fanbase gave Drake a platform to show how nice he really was. Wayne getting locked up also brought his fans to Drake more too. Nicki’s female fans also helped when they were around each other, and vice versa. It’s like GSW and Curry. Right situation and right time but more importantly the RIGHT player.
@@RAM-kt9pmDiddy black balled Ryan Leslie and ruined his relationship with Cassie. He was talented enough that we were able to see his star shine still, but he definitely would have been bigger
I think Drake would have made it either way. Because he has an insane pen. He wrote a lot of songs for people in the early days. No one can stop an artist that can pen hit after hit
Lyor became a partner with Def Jam when they were growing too large for their headquarters and needed office space but couldn't afford the rent in a commercial business district like Manhattan but Lyor's father owned a lot of commercial real-estate so Lyor approached Rick Rubin and Russel Simmons the owners of Def Jam and said "make me a partner and you can have these offices you need" and they did.
As I’m watching this interview , my discerning spirit is telling me this man has done a lot of evil things to others . I believe he shut doors on others . I believe he was a gatekeeper and if he didn’t like you I believe he did horrible things to up and coming artist . I don’t trust him. I just see horns and red Auras . Lmao joking but I don’t like him .
Vlad knows the music industry, we know he's willing to ask incriminating questions to the artist. Will he keep that level of journalism with this devil? I don't think he will.
*Watching this is disturbing. To see how hip hop culture is not owned or controlled by US. THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS are exactly why we need to to take what's left of hip-hop back*
He has done more for blacks in music. Most people should know it's a business. Check blacks in music; baby, Diddy, Suge .will most likely eat your money
How does Vlad jump from 88 to working with Rush Management to selling Def Jam in 1999. A whole decade of Artist Development from LL Cool J, Redman, DMX, and Jay. Those artist ALONE should have their own segments. The many flaws of Vlad.
He's not there to volunteer any information, bro. But I loved when he did correct Vlad on how much money he sold Def Jam for. "You sold it for $100 million. No, more like $360 ml"! He didn't want Vlad to underrate him. That's a boss move. And the real number was probably more...
His facial reaction when he said "We got a big bag, yes" is strange. Either he's a billionaire or he doesn't look back on past achievements like it's a big deal🤔 This is my first time seeing him, only heard him reference in a couple of Jay-Z songs
@@deesee2051 basically he is refering to the conspiracy that to be a music artist you have to sell your soul to the devil. And he suspects this guy is the initial person who screens out the "riff raff" and handles the new recruits to mold them in shape.
Lyor didn't need to sign Drake,he was unproven,unsigned artists until Birdman took a chance with him with Young Money records back in 2010.His first album so far,so gone took and made Drake household name in music industry
@deesee2051 whatever morals & principles you have, you are willing to sacrifice them for fame & money just to push whatever agenda they want you to carry out
You're not jewish there aren't no such thing as caucasian jews, The people of that region are naturally black historically and most so called jews came from Europe after the war to Palestine and then through war and theft stole the indigenous peoples land. This narrative that the people of Judea are white is crazy
shit he was barely needed back then 😂 he looked the part, but he didn’t have much any real experience managing artists or tours, let alone running a label he worked in a bank for a few years and promoted a few parties & shows then suddenly talked his way into running the show lol
It’s crazy watching this and learning our CULTURE IS MADE from people like him all the hood shit yall like ? .. people like him put that in our faces etc sexy redd etc we didn’t randomly chose these people they were chosen by people like him to push a narrative
I love it when I get that notification saying "Someone liked your comment!" Or "Someone has subscribed!" Really makes my day better! Have a Happy Halloween!!!!🎃👻🤩

IF DRAKE SIGNED WITH DEF JAM HE WOULDA ENDED UP LIKE RYAN LESLIE
@@kekeedordu8422Ryan Leslie should have bee huge and so should have Jay Sean, mismanaged by Def Jam.
@@RAM-kt9pmDiddy black balled Ryan Leslie and ruined his relationship with Cassie. He was talented enough that we were able to see his star shine still, but he definitely would have been bigger

That doesn’t make sense
Yeah how can you grow too large and not be able to afford the rent also?
@@silewis9396New York…
Dame Dash told us who he was. We should listen to Dame.
lyor's dad owned a bank out of israel and loaned def jam the money cause they were going bankrupt in the mid 90s
Them Dame Dash questions gonna be wild if/when they come.
"He doesn't know him"
I can't wait but it'll probably be a conversation about how they don't like em
don’t know if it will, they seem to be skipping through this all pretty fast. But if it happens, it’ll be what ^they said^
Nah he’s just not gonna answer them
He basically said on Drink Champs if he could cause the rocafella split then they were not really tight like that
'i don't know if i was the president of def jam, but i became the owner' - such a fucking Boss answer! Top

I feel the same way - evil spirit around him
@@thebullet9798vlad is full of shit!! He is not going to put his people on blast....
You are spot on. I see it in his eyes yo
When I think of the spirit of hip hop....this man looks exactly how the opposite of that would be.
*Watching this is disturbing. To see how hip hop culture is not owned or controlled by US. THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS are exactly why we need to to take what's left of hip-hop back*
the best hip hop journalist, executive and rapper are white and blaq ppl cant stand it lmwao....
As LONG AS THIS ABC-123 STUFF thats mainstream RAP AMONGST TODAYS 30 and under Generation.. good luck with that.
This is one of the dudes kanye was talkn about
Hip hop you mean Farty B and Mark the Male Horse plus skinny jeans thugging gangsters?
He has done more for blacks in music. Most people should know it's a business. Check blacks in music; baby, Diddy, Suge .will most likely eat your money
This man is over this interview already!😩😂
This the guy who said we know the music not good for the community but he has a family to feed
Yep
Yeah, I hate how he forced the artists to make that music 😏
@@cheesun124 nawl he just loan them millions that most poor people would take
@@RebelutionaryMusic yes all his fault
@@cheesun124 nawl he’s not the only one😒
He almost had a heart attack when Vlad mentioned Drake shaking his hand then walking away
LOL I was thinking the same thing.
✡️✡️✡️
😂😁😂😂😁😂😁
I'm here after the battle with Kendrick. And see if the future holds this being a mistake for BBL drizzy
@@hoodrichhaul7545it surely wasn’t a mistake as BBL Drizzy is UMG’s golden child but hey he should always “be careful for what he asks for”
DMX once said there were 3 people with "Lie" in their name in some way @DefJam: Kevin "Ly"les, "Ly"or Cohen, & Ju"lie" Greenwald
An opinion ain't a fact. Salute to DMX tho
Dmx always spoke of Lyor admirably
@@Cuddy83 he also sure did 💯
can tell vlad was given a tight 30 minutes or something for this
talking fast
😂😂😂
yeah, getting Lyor's time is not like bringing in Keefe D to snitch on himself for 3 hours at a time lmao
that drake question hit his soul a bit 😂😂😂😂
I knew vlad was gonna release this as soon as he seen drink champs released interview with lyor
He could definitely play Larry's weird cousin on Curb. He's quite an interesting character.
😂😂
😂
He had to take a deep breath when he spoke about losing drake 😂
He almost fell out his chair,
Can’t blame him 😤😅😂
How does Vlad jump from 88 to working with Rush Management to selling Def Jam in 1999.
A whole decade of Artist Development from LL Cool J, Redman, DMX, and Jay. Those artist ALONE should have their own segments.
The many flaws of Vlad.
Think it’s a timing thing. When the full thing comes out let’s see how long it is altogether. Probably only had a short slot with Lyor
Yea the title for the video made me say "wtf?".
Stop crying, he obviously has a limited time to interview the guy
@@foregone0703 as it as progressed. It has been made clear that's the case
Vlad vs Lyor: Battle for title of HJIC
Yo, you just skipped past like 10 - 15 years of Def Jam history.
Vlad was on a time limit with this interview😅😂 you can tell by how fast he was talking lol
he got a evil aura to him
He's not there to volunteer any information, bro. But I loved when he did correct Vlad on how much money he sold Def Jam for. "You sold it for $100 million. No, more like $360 ml"! He didn't want Vlad to underrate him. That's a boss move. And the real number was probably more...
What? People are still listening to Dame Dash 🤦♂️
@@kevaughnramsay9846no we listen to our gut
He is evil....Satan himself
I'm here after the BBL Drizzy battle rip
I’m not concerned with his personal background, I just want the music industry part. A lot of artist have said good and bad things about this man.
His facial reaction when he said "We got a big bag, yes" is strange. Either he's a billionaire or he doesn't look back on past achievements like it's a big deal🤔
This is my first time seeing him, only heard him reference in a couple of Jay-Z songs
If he owned Jay Z and he’s a jew U can figure out the rest
As a kid from The Bronx I couldn’t stand the beasties boys 😅 nobody did in my part of town
Dude is a handler and gatekeeper and Vlad would sniff his pants if he could...embarrassing
Gatekeeper of what exactly??
@@deesee2051 of things that go on in that vile industry that should not
@@ponyboycurtis3795 that’s a generalization. What specifically are you talking about
@@deesee2051gaahy seexxx and evil jew isssh rituals like and other gross illegal and immoral things
@@deesee2051 basically he is refering to the conspiracy that to be a music artist you have to sell your soul to the devil. And he suspects this guy is the initial person who screens out the "riff raff" and handles the new recruits to mold them in shape.
Dame should interview him 😂
When 2 vultures meet. Just missing Adam and Jake
Lyor didn't need to sign Drake,he was unproven,unsigned artists until Birdman took a chance with him with Young Money records back in 2010.His first album so far,so gone took and made Drake household name in music industry
The man who showed Dame Dash the door🤣
Bruh 😂
Dame hates him with a passion i still laugh thinking about that infamous conference room rant 😂
Man this is the best interview.
Lets see if Vlad talks over his fellow Jewish brother the same way he talks over Black people.
Vlad is Russian
Finessed His Way 2 The Top. Stop making it easy and stop letting people make you believe you need them.
Never knew Drake had a handshake agreement with Lyor Cohen to sign with Def Jam.
Damn!!! Record executives are on Vlad now. Does Mr Choen have a book coming out or something?
Lots of record executives have been on Vlad what’s the difference in this one ?
Lyor Cohen is the Global Head of Music for TH-cam.
That guy is basically retired but active at the same time who cares 🤦🤣🤣
Lyor Definitely Gives Off Donald Trump Vibes! Good, Bad or Indifferent!
Hell na the eyes never lie he pure evil
How you go from a road manager to part owner?
He had money. They did not.
Wait, Wasn't lyor and lyles them was at Warner music around the drake situation at the time? If im wrong my fault.
I never thought an interview with a corpse would be this interesting
This dude is ruthless and evil.
Essentially, ultimately- Vlad
That leather is fire, my type of style.
Can music artists sell their souls to this guy?
How do you sell your soul? How exactly does it work ?
@deesee2051 whatever morals & principles you have, you are willing to sacrifice them for fame & money just to push whatever agenda they want you to carry out
@@GHOST91141 yeah you just talking some conspiracy BS ✌🏾
Yes he has been collecting since the 90’s.
It's just another way of saying people doing things against their ethics or morals.
Dracula himself in 2023
Liar Cohen & Vlad The Vulture 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
This gotta be Dame Dash’s burner account 😂
@@BiGGCaiN24 🤣 Has to be...
WE control hip hop !!👍🔯

This narrative that the people of Judea are white is crazy
He sounds like Dr No from James Bond
Lol no way he thought drake was signing to def jam lol like every label should have known where he was going
Hip Hop is just sad, 50 Years Later and black people still don't own it...
The Devil Himself 👹💸💸
💯💯💯
Naw it’s Clive Davis then him
Kayne was right?
This is gonna be good Lyor has a wealth of knowledge 💡.
The nitty gritty 🤣
Wow where you find this guy
We got a big bag.. Yes! 🤣Thats how you know this dude is filthy rich...
One vulture to another ain’t that some shit
Probably not what he was looking for when he asked for the "craziest thing that happened" lol
This dudes energy seems demonic
Dame dash made this man famous lol
Nothing wrong going independent route these day. Just Make hits and you will eat. No need for the white man in suit.
shit he was barely needed back then 😂 he looked the part, but he didn’t have much any real experience managing artists or tours, let alone running a label
he worked in a bank for a few years and promoted a few parties & shows then suddenly talked his way into running the show lol
Lyor not letting Vlad form his own narrative like he always does lol
You get a sense of evil from this guy. Something detached and hostile about his demeanour. Of course Vlad loves him, he is one of his people.
This interview will be viral for someone calling him out about something he says. If not in this part then another part 😂
I wouldn't believe a word this man says.
Did you ask him how long he has worked for Mossad
This dude is massive music mogul
No he’s a massive culture vulture and evil puppet master
you better ask him about the classic " i have a family to feed" comment.
dame dash- culture vulture🤣
Lyor is a legend
Tall Israeli is running this rap ish
Mos Def tell the truth
He is avoiding tax evasion on that sale question
COUNT COHEN !
We made deals when we didn't know how to really f people is what I heard.
He nicely let yall know Russell Simmons was lying.
hip hop has done so much damage along with all other American pop culture. It hurts me so much how awful the west has become. Lord have mercy!!
A BIGGGGGGG BAG!!
3:29 strange number
Real gangsta
drink champs beat u to it but i cant front u gota waaaay better questions so im tuned in😂
Eviiilll ziiooonist
You sound like a hater. Why you watching these dudes talk if you hate Jews so much.
Every rapper that signed with this jackass made 0 money.
Dame cussing out his screen watching this
You can tell he do not wanna be there lol
Dude sounds slow
My ninja
Damn, I did not know Lyor went that far back.
This man gives me bad vibes. There is a very evil energy surrounding him. I looked into his eyes and there is nothing behind them. He has no soul.
The most legendary culture vulture of all time 😂
his energy was better on drinks champs
Hell he probably was drinking or poping some pills or doing coke
Who is this guy's dermatologist? How is he 64?
Don't this guy own a piece of TH-cam 🤷🏿♂️
I’m getting very positive vibes from both of these guys!
Lol
You're ridiculous
😂
Drake is a jew like him, he knows what this crook jew is doing. Good move Aubrey.
DRAKE wouldn't have been what he is today under Lyor,great decision Aubrey
Drake is J Prince artist and Prince wouldn’t let him sign to Def Jam because J thought he was gonna get jerked over there.
Hehe…well well well weeeell….what do we have aaaaah-HERE. 😮
He doesn't know what percentage of the company that he had?? GOT DAMN LIE!!! He knows the "Nitty Gritty"
Why is lyor doing a vlad interview...hes way bigger than this
It’s crazy watching this and learning our CULTURE IS MADE from people like him all the hood shit yall like ? .. people like him put that in our faces etc sexy redd etc we didn’t randomly chose these people they were chosen by people like him to push a narrative
Same dude, that insist the artist to sing derogatory songs🤮
I love it when I get that notification saying "Someone liked your comment!" Or "Someone has subscribed!" Really makes my day better! Have a Happy Halloween!!!!🎃👻🤩
