Protect this man at all cost! Fab Five Freddy is the definition of a whole legend in these streets. He was so far ahead of his time. His knowledge base is incredible. He is connected to so many things and people its insane. Great interview. Drop more Asap
I use to be fb friends with slave tf5 and he specifically said fab 5 wasnt down..but he was down with lee..but to tell you the truth fab 5 dont need to be down with that crew..what the man has done for the culture weighs tons..way more than slave tf5
This man is hip hop...this is the real New York city right here. I remember being a kid growing up in Chicago and literally RUNNING home as a kid to watch Fab Five Freddy on Yo! MTV Raps. Hearing his voice gives me the chills because it take me back to so many incredible memories. This dude needs to be in the Smithsonian. He was National treasure. Our version of a griot.
He DID interview artists back in the late 80s and 90s. Maybe he doesn’t want it? Why hate on Vlad? You clicked and watched. Vlad is doing a great job interviewing people forgotten in the slop pop music sludge currently drowning legends out.
@@jflack6 No, Vlad does a good job getting the people to interview but he's one of the worse interviewers. Nardwar does a great job interviewing people.
Keith Haring is my favorite artist of alllll time! He mentions F5F and JMB (and Madonna!) plenty of times in several of his bios and books. They used to all run together in lower Manhattan in the 80s. As an artist now, in the short attention span digital age... I wish I could’ve experienced creating and running with that group of legends.
I was 17 hanging out at the Pop art Gallery on Lafayette st in Soho Keith Haring was so cool man he used open his doors and let all the black & Latino kids hang out there! that was a magical time .. the NYC no longer exist.
Lord Jamars true calling wasnt music or acting...it was speaking on behalf of the culture, his contribution to the culture and discourse, in the internet age has been invaluable
0:35 I appreciate the GREAT and LEGENDARY Jean-Michel Basquiat's works. He is definitely ONE of the GREATEST painters to walk the earth. Though, I have an issue with Vlad's comment saying that Basquiat is "the greatest black painter" because his paintings are being sold more than any other black painter. First, I get annoyed with mainstream media, predominately white mainstream media always trying to tell us who is "great" amongst our race. Basquiat is ONE of many great black painters, and painters in general regardless of race. Basquiat had to deal with constant scrutiny from racist people picking him apart his appearance and him being a black painter rather than appreciating his artwork. Throughout his career he faced that problem, and its sad that this is still going on with you Vlad. I never hear anyone say that Andy Warhol is "the greatest white painter" , instead he seen as a GREAT and LEGENDARY painters amongst many other white painters regardless of how many millions of dollars his paintings sell for. Please show Basquiat and MANY other GREAT black painters the same respect. ✊🏿🎨🖼
This segment is akin to being inside of a grandfather clock, watching all the gears & mechanisms work...Fab sharing testimony of his ideas & thought process, being faced with challenges & obstacles 🤔, *thinking* his way around them 🧠💡☝️😃 and, ultimately, seeing his vision through ✊ This is a lesson in critical thinking and problem solving💯 I *LOVE* it 🤜💖🤛 Nothing quite speaks to *Black excellence* like that of being a thoughtful problem solver... In short, thinkers💡 can eventually get *anything* done💯 And☝️, as an added bonus, women *really* find it attractive!
Speak on it! From the spirit to and through the souls of those a alike akin to exactly what you've taken the time to point out & bring forward with your thinking!
Just seeing Fab 5 face rejuvenated me this what's it's about fab never went and got no purple Mo Hawk he never went and got no tight ass pants he always kept it hip hop
Man, Fab 5... Phayde from Wild Style. Yo! One of the coolest, hippest cats... That "A-to-the-K!?" part that Cypress sampled...looks like he was cryogenically frozen, because my man has not aged whatsoever. Damn. Basquiat...another member of the infamous 27 club.
My question to Vlad is what makes art so special outside of a dollars worth? I never hear anything from him that resonates on something outside of money because that's all he emphasizes it on. For the culture when you can make a profit off it.
Give this man his Hiphop flowers!! Still look the same when I was 13!
Facts I said the same thing

Happy 14th birthday!

The guy is a legend, a genius, visionary but still very humble.
One of the men I want to be in the presence of to shake his hand to give thanks for what he did for the world, better said, MY WORLD.
This man should have Vlad's job, interviewing people from the Hip-hop community.
Bingo
He DID interview artists back in the late 80s and 90s. Maybe he doesn’t want it? Why hate on Vlad? You clicked and watched. Vlad is doing a great job interviewing people forgotten in the slop pop music sludge currently drowning legends out.
@@jflack6 a weed habit would calm you down.
@@jflack6 No, Vlad does a good job getting the people to interview but he's one of the worse interviewers. Nardwar does a great job interviewing people.
He’s been there done that and already elevated!
Legend....Fab Five Freddy! This dude never aged!

Oh things young men can accomplish when they're not gang-banging..
You seriously think that's all black men do? Wow
In 1993 when I was 16 watching Fab 5 Freddie on Yo! I knew then he was about 20 years ahead of his time. I have so much respect for this man.
This man is a walkin’, talkin’, LANDMARK of hip hop #Str8Legend
Yo MTV raps back in the day with fab 5 freddy will forever be engraved in my heart and memories
Keith Haring is one of my greatest inspirations
As soon as fab 5 Freddy starts talkin I feel like I’m watching a documentary
Fab 5 a icon, I use to run home from Jr high to watch Yo!! MTV Raps everyday that 30 minutes had me geeked
Facts💯
Rest In Peace Basquiat
"Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody's fly...DJ's pumping, say my-my".....(Blondie, Rapture)
Vlad is not qualified to interview this man. Not even research will help. Luckily Fab 5 can't not be interesting, so anything he does is gold.
Great interviews with Fab 5 Freddy, great info.
Fab 5 Freddy = Legend.
Salute to the OG. The man responsible for bringing HipHop and the hood Downtown.
Basquiat is of the Greatest American painters of all time Vlad. (Not just black) He's the highest selling American painter of all time.
It’s been a dream of mine to own a Basquiat or Haring painting 🖼
I was 17 hanging out at the Pop art Gallery on Lafayette st in Soho Keith Haring was so cool man he used open his doors and let all the black & Latino kids hang out there! that was a magical time .. the NYC no longer exist.
looks exactly the same!!!
Fab 5 is a hip hop icon!!
Lord Jamars true calling wasnt music or acting...it was speaking on behalf of the culture, his contribution to the culture and discourse, in the internet age has been invaluable
But what does that have to do with this video
@@moltisanti745 wrong video, right channel but fuck it.i got a couple likes here so
Some of his claims make flat-earthers appear intelligent.
@Most Loved, Hated & Feared ! His belief that blacks didn't come from Africa comes to mind.
one of the founding fathers of Hip-Hop
Fab 5 a fucking LEGEND...I'm from Chicago

Pretty much the script of Wild Style. Love Fab 5 Freddy
Thank you DJ Fab ! I paint & sing. I'm 45 and love it all. "Rapture" song AND video was badass. You in it with SAMO and Blondie wooo. True
I paint and draw and have been a Blondie fan since I was a kid. They exposed me to stuff mainstream artists certainly weren’t
Fab 5 did "Wildstyle?" Damn i never knew he had his hands in so many different types of art
Quadruple OG. This nigga should be treated like a 5 Star General in our culture.
Thanks for touching on JMB & Herring.

Fab 5 has so much knowledge I don’t think Vlad was prepared for all of it.
He wasn't.
I'm waiting for this cats biography film more than any other hip-hop head... Like others have said he has infinite stories..
Fab 5 Freddy is one of the forefathers of hip hop, and apparently a vampire. The man don't age.
Feeding on wack MCs.

Fab is THE GOAT! ;))
Wildstyle baby!
Fab 5 freddy told me everybody's high....#blondiesrapture. I thought he was cool then and he still cool now.
Fab 5 is the black Forrest Gump. He was around everything.
What a coincidence cuz I was just thinking how Vlad should give this man an interview. Wow
he's like the early asap yams
He hasn’t aged a bit.
Triple OG
Str8 History Class 101. Get ya pen & pad. #researchthosenames #gems
right place right time.
I wonder why Fab wasnt depected in the Basquiat movie?🤔
Because it was made by a white man who was jealous of Basquiat. That movie has good acting, but it isn't a good depiction of Basquiat.
Watch out Fab! Agent Vlad is on the case...
My question to Vlad is what makes art so special outside of a dollars worth? I never hear anything from him that resonates on something outside of money because that's all he emphasizes it on. For the culture when you can make a profit off it.
Vlad doesn’t know shit about art
I’ve never seen Fab 5 Freddy’s eyes
Eric Stevens nobody has....
He still looks Yo MTV Raps old...
17 dislikes for VLAD’s voice??!!
You can tell Vlad ain’t their, you can see the monitor in his glasses...
🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
