Part 24: • Aries Spears is Still ...
Part 26: • Aries Spears Goes Off ...
Part 1: • Aries Spears: Any Man ...
--------
In this clip, Aries Spears and Vlad talked about Al Pacino and Robert De Niro fathering children at an elderly age. Vlad stated that many women desire have a baby by a wealthy man, hoping that those traits pass off to their offspring. Moving along, Aries Spears admitted to recently finding out what "nepo babies" meant. In relation to show business, Vlad said having successful parents may get a person to the front of the line but it doesn't guarantee success. On the other hand, Aries argued that skipping the line is a major benefit. Check out the rest of the clip to hear their heated debate. - บันเทิง
Aries always lowkey sending shots and humbling Vlad 😂😂😂 “idk if that’s their biggest goal”🤣
Needed to be said in this case.
I laughed out loud in public. Plus had a feeling from the title Vlad would bring Chad up.
& said it in a respectful but direct way which I can appreciate.
Dude is one of the few guests who doesnt mind checking Vlad right in his face!
That’s bringing glad back to reality. Humbling his narcissism
I don’t care how you feel about Aries Spears. He is 100% right about this. Trying to juggle paying your rent, keeping a job while booking acting work and everything else in your life while trying to get in the door is tough. Getting in doors is more than half the battle and hero babies don’t have to go through that. This actor struggle is real!!!
💯
Nobody cares. At all. Your life is your life, and none of your sob stories are unique. Everybody has to struggle in some way. And pedigree is not a guaranteed indicator of success. Focus on what you can control. Or not, and learn the hard way.
Facts! I remember being an
Story of my life
Theres struggle in all forms of work
Vlad low key proved Aries point by say he was going to do an interview with Chet Hanks. Why? What has Chet Hanks done to warrant a vlad TV interview OTHER than be Tom Hanks son?
Then again who is Vlad? What has he done to warrant such high regard that someone should feel the need to be interviewed by him?
@@fortunateson2💯
@@fortunateson2 Like it or not vlad TV is one of the biggest hip hip media platforms on TH-cam if not the biggest in terms of monthly views. Being on Vlad is national exposure.
exactly I was going to type the same thing but was sure somebody already did
@@fortunateson2💯
My son is an actor and has gotten his share of roles over the past few years, but Spears is correct. The times where he didn’t get those roles, he wondered how he would keep up with paying his bills. It’s the nature of the business, but as a father, it’s so heartbreaking to hear the disappointment in his voice when he has studied and worked so hard to get a role and was turned down.
Vlads just protecting his future nepo babies careers.
Forever keep that head up as father I know you feel for him I would too
I’m with Aries on this 100%. This is not the same, but I’m a similar situation. I been trying to buy a business now through SBA for 3 years, and have busted my ass to make it happen. I have a wife and 3 kids. I have been able to close on a deal because I don’t have capital to inject into the business which is typically required. One of the loan officers I was speaking with the other day was telling me about a dude who’s father in law gave him 750k for his capital injection which allowed him to buy a 7 million dollar company. Now look, I’m jealous, it not envious, I’d take advantage of that too if I were him. But there was a big part of me that was like “man must be nice to just have that handed to you and not have to scrap, scratch and claw for years and still not have anything yet”. But I keep telling myself that good $hit is just around the corner and I’ll be better off from it. But man, it would be nice to have a father in law willing to invest in my dream. This is why I feel what Aries is saying.
Yep and when you make it and become rich then one day someone will be commenting this about your kids. I feel you tho
Keep grinding bro ima pray for ya
I hear that man. You just gotta keep goin, you're gonna have other blessings. It's so easy to feel a way about someone been given opportunities that aren't as talented or as good as a person as us but we don't know what else they're going through in their lives so we just gotta be grateful and trust the journey.
Spot on!
And sometimes, good shot ISNT right around the corner…but if you stop you’ll never know. It’s a fucked up cycle
Vlad is gonna remember that Chet Hanks stood him up for an interview longer than Akademiks will remember that Erykah Badu called him the mouse from Tom & Jerry. 🤣😂✨
I was about to post something similar, Vlad is mad salty that Chet Hanks stood him up for an interview. Lmao 😂
They have ptsd
he's always so butt hurt
Lmaooooo
Ion know why but I think Aries can prolly BBQ tf outta some food.
😂
Nigga look like he dig in his ass when nobody looking…
NIGGA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
While wearing black socks in slides 😂
With dirty fingernails
What the hell is Vlad talking about? Aries is 💯💯💯 percent right.
Talking about dumb Vlad shit per usual
It's like he knows Aries is right but he still wants to fight the good fight. 😂😂😂
Content farming bro.
@@machomusprime50vlad so lame
When was the last time Vlad had a good opinion?
The fact that vlad wanted to interview Chet Hanks…..who vlad himself said hasn’t done shit…..proves Aries point
This isn’t rocket science. Starting from the bottom means just that. If you come from entertainment industry money then you automatically have connections with the best acting coaches, basketball coaches, music producers that can give you guidance. If you coming from the slums or just average people you gotta scratch and claw through obstacles just to shake those peoples hands and say “hi my name is” while the nepo babies live next door to them. Vlad just wants to argue.
😂😂 love how Aries brought Vlad back down to reality, he was talking like getting to his platform was a goal for people. Only the corner boys Vlad
💯
🎯
Ok I thought I heard him say something like getting interviewed by him should be a goal for a celeb. That’s some funny shiz
Arie’s spoke nothing but facts ❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️
The fact Chet Hanks is an example only adds to Aries point. He hasn’t done SHIT yet the media, including Vlad, ONLY talk about him at because he is Tom Hanks son.
Exactly and he got to skip the line and get a vlad interview
This is called life. It’s not just acting, this happens everyday in job interviews in the real world.
Funny how Vlad mentions Chet Hanks but doesnt mention his other son Colin Hanks who is a successful actor though lol...having famous parents CLEARLY gives you a bigger advantage!
Vlad thinks he’s the barometer for an actor to be like “oh man I can’t miss this Vlad interview” 😂
Thats the old saying. "Find me a great man who is the son of a great man"
@kanajingly8957 the list is much longer on the other side. No shit its not a 100% rule
Alexander the Great and Philip II of Macedon
Aries Spears gets it... The passion, the purpose, the precision. I love how he's so well grounded
They’re both saying the same thing…Aries is just yelling more
@@treedillinger5801 No... Vlad just acknowledging and agreeing by giving examples base off Aries Spears original point. WHILE attempting to play devil's advocate.
@@TripPeteHudson …where’s the disagreement? …read the title: “heated debate” …they’re saying the same thing, just in an argumentative tone for no reason. 🍿
@@treedillinger5801 4:12 immediately Vlad attempts to play devil's advocate while trying to feed his ego in the process. Vlad is missing the point by saying Well since they come from less they'll have higher drive to work for it. The point Aries Spears is making is that drive, passion, struggle etc don't hold the same weight as a Nepo Baby. Especially when entertainment is so subjective to begin with. The measuring stick could be different base off the person giving out opportunities.
@@CantTellYou I wouldn’t call that a heated debate. I’d call it keeping the same argumentative tone even when agreeing. I feel like Aries could be calling his mom on her birthday and he’d have the same attitude.
Vlad brought up Chet Hanks, completely ignoring that Colin Hanks, Tom's other son, is a wonderful actor. It's also obvious that Chet Hanks doesn't want to be an actor, so his point is moot.
Nepotism is real, and of course, the strength of it will always be relative to the power and influence of the parents. If your mom or dad or both are A-Listers, the strings they can pull (or the benefits you receive from people who are trying to get in good with THEM), is a hell of a lot greater than if your mom or dad are reality TV stars or something of that nature. It also ignores the fact that many of the "nepo babies" take different names to hopefully avoid claims of nepotism (even though it doesn't really work, especially with the internet). There are so many children and relatives of successful people in Hollywood and other fields who you'd never know because they either take a different name entirely (such as Nicholas Cage, the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, who took "Cage" as a last name), or they take the last name of their non-famous parent or, if they're a girl, their father's last name (Margaret Qualley, the daughter of Andie McDowell, and Mammie Gummer, the daughter of Meryl Streep).
To Vlad's point, working hard is great, but a career in entertainment isn't like other careers where there's a clear path towards ascension, and things are relatively meritocratic. There are plenty of great lawyers and shit lawyers, but anyone who wants to BE a lawyer knows exactly the things they must do, and even if you end up being the worst lawyer on the planet, barring you losing your license, you're still a lawyer. Conversely, you could be the most talented actor in the WORLD, but it's possible AND likely that you'll never get noticed because the path to success isn't so cut and dry. Further, if you're looking to get noticed, you need your foot in the door, and if the children of famous and influential parents are already in front of the line, that door might shut because the decision has already been made.
Great points.
No one is reading this long essay
He sounds mad Chet didn't want to be on his show.
@@rojayreid908😅😅😅😅that part!
GLAD is butthurt because he didnt wanna do his show so he is lowkey dissing him like everybody would wanna be on his show because its the shit. F*ck GLAD😂
Nah, Aries is spot on. Half of the battle in the entertainment industry is having the opportunity. There are tons of talented people out there who just have not had the opportunity to be in front of the right person, people, or studio. This is a fact.
I'm not an actress, but I do things on the other side of the camera, and I know this is a 100% fact from experience. I have worked very hard, I and am finally starting to see some movement. Several of my opportunities have come from being in front of the right people. It is so much harder when you don't know people.
Life is unfair for many people. If not, most. If I bust my ass for a better living & make it, you damn right my kids are going to have the best opportunities possible. I worked for my family to have it easier. So I get that it's fucked up, but unfortunately, sometimes shit just doesn't happen the way you wanted it to.
Vlad never miss a chance to prop himself up😂
When he said I’m not sure if that’s there biggest goal 😂
Vlad proved his point:
1. He offered an interview to a guy who, in Vlad's own word, has done absolutely nothing
2. Chet Hanks still got roles in Atlanta and skipped over all of the other actors
Chet does nothing other than trying to be black and yet, Vlad still wanted to interview him. That's proving Aries' point
Thankyou!
Aries is too real for the internet.
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Talk that ish Aries 💯💯💯👑💯💯💯 we sweat & bleed for this no help outs no handouts just drive & determination
the obvious part that Vlad is neglecting, is that he wouldnt even give an interview to a no name actor on the same level of Chet Hanks.. but since its Tom Hanks son, he was willing to do so
If your dad is Denzel Washington, You can definitely skip the line
This is literally everything in life. It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know. Relationships, connections, and opportunities are EVERYTHING when it comes to getting ahead. Even if you don’t have the natural skill. It’s extremely difficult to succeed if you don’t have these options in comparison to being born into a family of wealth or position.
It can be very important and the difference maker but it is not "everything". At the end of the day, if the talent or skill is not there and/or doesn't provide value then it doesn't matter whose kid it is. We just hear about the nepobabies who succeeded and the rags to riches stories. I personally know of several kids of extremely prominent people in Hollywood and the music industry and many of them try to take up the mantle but fail even though they're talented. The producer, director, label exec or whoever is not willing to risk so much just for a favor for a friend. As in any industry though it DOES help you get to the door like Aries said but you can't be a mediocre person and expect the door to unlock automatically.
@@rks5457stop lying 😂 man u gaslit this comment section up
Facts! Aries Spears is hitting it hard with the truth…Plus it’s not just in Hollywood but everywhere!🤔
I dont understand Vlads thinking. He doesnt talk like someone that was broke as a kid and didnt know the harsh reality of being broke as dishes. He always says something like well that shouod drive you more. Dude you also need that lucky break. The stars aligning for that extra support in succeeding. Aries is talking about people who have so much on there plate that they cant risk more then they should. A dream is great until you are homeless.
If Vlad thinks he is whwere he is because of anything oter than luck, he's deluded.
There is no debate on this topic. It’s a straight fact.
Of course, Vlads gonna try to argue with Aries who actually works in the business and has been doing it for over 30 years. And I'm sure can relate to his own argument. Vlad, if you dont know about something just keep your mouth shut, listen to The Other person. Actually process what they're saying instead of just arguing for the sake of arguing
Vlad said my interview will make or break you, don’t skip it
No, he said the ability to go on a platform like VladTV could help majorly. And that's a fact.
@@nyc220guyit could help get them roles? lol I don’t think so
I think Aries has been holding this in for a long time. Being on VladTV is sort of his therapy. He gets to unload and then gets a check for it at the end or at the start. Vlad should give him a copy of this portion of the interview to take with him because this is some of the best stuff that Ares has ever done. He's passionate, dramatic and surprise surprise he doesn't use vulgarities. I'd say he's speaking from experience
Aries is right. Examples are: Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sanaa Lathan, and John David Washington to name a few. They are talented, but their family connections definitely helped them get their foot in the door. This is why I respect the hustles of people like Issa Rae and Quinta Brunson. They literally got it out the mud. They built it themselves. No nepotism. Just BUILT it.
The dilemma comes in when they(Rae or Quinta) have kids.
The passing on of skilled trades has been the staple of strong families for centuries to come.
If i’m a singer/actor or athlete and my kid watches me at work and wants to hone the skill, yes my kid is going to get the first hand free mentorship by me.
It’s hard to tell one’s kid they cant have the same dream as mommy or daddy. Especially when the kid shows early signs of the inherited talent.
There’s construction, funeral, & video/photography companies here in Atlanta that have been dominant for the past 50 years and the children that took over the leadership know that they’re carrying on the family name with a good product and people tend to hire those companies because they’re usually the safer bet. For some reason when it comes to entertainment, we’re more critical of the hiring practices but the dilemma is always going to be a conflict with ethics or jealousy. I wont take either side I think as it’s best to go on a case by case basis. For example, If i saw Denzel Washington’s son get 5 straight lead acting roles for blockbusters that spans two years, I’m going to probably say yo that’s a bit excessive, but If he only get’s two out of those five, I dont think it’s that big of deal.
George Clooney
Glad tryin to convince an actor how actors feel about acting is crazy 😂
Aries Is our inner conscious 😂
I love Aries Spears he is the truth😂🎉🎉😅
What Aries is saying isn't just true, it's common sense. There is no "risk" when the consequences of failure aren't dire. I don't knock anyone for being born rich because it doesn't make one any less susceptible to the human condition, BUT I do appreciate it when people born into comfortable positions understand they have a MAJOR leg up. Sometimes, you get these rich kids that go out of their way to be "common" in the publics eye...rich guilt is real lol. I have a rich uncle. He and my aunt couldn't bare children so they adopted a son and a daughter when they were infants. I used to wonder, as they're young adults now, if they ever felt like they won the adopted kid lottery. But in all fairness to them, life has been comfortable but they still have to deal with certain things money can't get anyone out of. Sometimes the struggle is what validates our successes.
Most of the time I'm here for either side of the arguments in these interviews but Vlad really talked out his ass in this video.
I'm pretty sure he's a boomer at the end of the day, a lot of them don't see anything wrong with these things.
Why is Vlad arguing with a actor about acting and auditions.. Vlad can't respect Aries.
Vlad has a real warped way of thinking.
Glad speaks from a point of privilege
Aries the 🐐
Aries is completely right tho lol idk what Vlads on 🤣
Yeah, talent is very rarely in the genes. And typically these kids grow up super wealthy and don’t have that drive to really learn and work at developing their talents or skills and have a career handed to them, and who knows if that’s what the kid ever really wanted?
Maybe they could haben been great surgeons, biologists or anything else. That’s what I think of the Smith kids. I don’t know if their passion ever really was to be entertainers. I feel like the parents decided this is what they’ll do since they were babies. So that’s what they did, and they’re not all that into it.
Yall mad they set they kids up
@kanajingly8957 But how much of that is nature or nurture? She chances are, if your dad is a famed, pianist, you’re going to be learning piano before you can walk? Serena Williams’s daughter will likely grow up to be a pretty good tennis player whether she she has a natural talent or not. When you’ve been trained consistently to do something that’s what you’re doing to do. Does Enrique Iglesias have a natural talent? That’s debatable. But if you grow up in an environment that nurtures nothing but singing and performing, you at the very least will come out of it with the ability to make some decent pop songs. The name recognition alone almost guarantees it.
Also, we’re talking about present day “nepo babies”. These typically refer to the children of great actors (specifically) who get jumped ahead of the line when it comes to recording contracts, acting jobs, and ability to become famous household names (which leads to work) for no reason other than their parent’s name. Johnny Depp worked his ass off for several years before he became a household name. Johnny Depp’s daughter? How many average young models have you heard of getting offered starring roles in an HBO series alongside one of the biggest pop stars on the world? Zendaya only got something comparable to that, but that’s only after being an actual movie and TV star for several years at her young age, AND she was part of an ensemble cast. Depp’s daughter’s first role is a star of a series. And while nobody is saying she is a terrible actress, the general consensus seems to be “ho-hum”. She brings nothing special. Could have been played by any pretty young woman.
A saying as old as dirt, “it’s not about what you know, but who you know.”
Having a cushion in life to fall back on makes all the difference in how you go through life.
greatest interview ever.
Aries is Absolutely correct
Marcus Jordan just entered the chap 😂😂😂😂
Its called...the Have and Have nots.
Some are born into it. Others, have to work harder. Such is life.
I f*** with Vlad content the long way but bra ego is kicking in
It's what's made him as successful as he's been. If it ain't broke ...
"Well I don't know if THAT'S their biggest goal..." 😆
I can see it from both sides. The thing is most people aren't born with a spoon to feed off of, so the purpose is much, much stronger to win in those cases.
This bouta be another classic lol
It's called privilege.
It’s called FRIENDS
@@nomadicprincesss Friends who are privileged and only help their kind.
@@kevada1 vlads friends are black he specifically named them lmao what are u even talking about
@@nomadicprincesss What are you talking about?
@@kevada1 is that your defense? To just repeat what’s being said to you?
Nepotism has always been a huge part of Hollywood and other entertainment industries.
I think this also forces people who do "make it" to be mindful of how they raise their kids, most people who grow up poor, without, or maybe just middle lower class always feel they have to "overcorrect" and give their kids the world..giving them a heads up.
“Well idk if that’s their biggest goal”lmaoooooo
0:56 Marcus Jordan, selling his dad shoes back door
Deep stuff
Moments like these show how class ignorance and bias, keep him from fully understanding and having a better conversation.
How are they both saying the same thing…both stating the obvious…and they’re *still* arguing about it? 😂
That's what I thought. I rewind it and still can't find the disagreement
The argument is that vlad saying getting to the door doesn't mean you gone make in , and Aries is arguing that's true but most ppl don't even get to the door no matter how talented they are and you start at the door because of your parents, you got a chance getting the role just cuz u was knocking
@@deebrown9263 …that’s not a disagreement, it’s expanding the same thought…and when Aries makes that point Glad agrees. They’re maintaining the same argumentative tone they always talk in…even while agreeing.
They are not arguing the same thing. I'm not sure why so many people can't tell the difference in the nuances of their debate.
@@Leomerya12 …watch toward the end…Aries makes a point, Glad says “exactly” …Glad makes a point …Aries says “but that was MY point” … it’s only the tone that makes it sound like they’re debating. They both agree that it gets you in the door, but you still need to follow through and have actual talent to actually make it [which is obvious]. They approach it from different angles but each time one makes a point the other agrees.
I’ve been an attorney for almost 2 decades and won 2 cases (2 for 2) in front of the Supreme Court of the US. I say that only to say I’m quite familiar with debating. Please enlighten me about the nuances of this debate..
Aries is a very smart and funny dude. I respect this ninja

Lol hard Aries you said it 100% correct,
"The woman inherets your cash when you die."
If a nepo baby has the same drive and passion for acting PLUS the benefits of the head start… ofc they got an advantage cmon lol don’t use poor examples. Theirs Steph Curry’s, and theirs Marcus Jordan’
Not just in acting, in almost every day job, in life there's nepotism. There's a lot of people who have Great Skill sets and they get pushed to the side because of that favorite friend, family that get the opportunity and the other gets screwed. Shouldn't be like that....
Bro denzel son is having a great film career… what he talking about decent. Nobody seen tenet?
100% right
It's like talking to a brick wall. Aries broke it down perfectly and Vlad still don't understand.
A keep it real!
Ice Cube went to his son and presented the idea of his son playing him in a movie. Then provided him with acting lessons before anyone else knew there was even a role coming.
He made him audition like everyone else
Vlad you brought your guest on your show for people to hear them speak, please let them get their point out with interrupting them ...we came to hear their thoughts.
Of course it makes a difference, just like how Steph and Klay had an advantage in the NBA, both their dads were players. It's not really about the money or connections though, that helps, but the biggest gift is the knowledge their parents gave them, having made it themselves
This is how it is with most career fields.
That shirt catches my attention
This man is on point
Facts
Hard times make strong people
Damn Aries made some amazing points
Aries last line hit the nail on the coffin "And some of them go harder and still don't get it"
Not to put Vlad on a pedestal, but I get what he's saying about the "lack of drive" with guys like Chet Hank that canceled on an interview because "he didn't feel like it"... Compare that to someone like DaBaby who did a Vlad interview months before his breakout single. He then was a late-twenties, underground mixtape rapper from a town not known for breeding successful rappers. He did an interview cause he knew it was apart that grind to success
Somehow Vlad just doesn't get it! 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Both points can be true and valid! Love this debate
They can be Valid but they can't Vladid...
Only Aries was right.
Every time Aries on. I click
It must be so fun for Vlad having Aries around.He is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
Aries is the uncle that everyone waits to get to the BBQ.... He gone lit !!!
I'm waiting for Vlad's son, Rasputin, to take the wheel of ValdTV after college 😅
The Marcus Jordan comment was a burn notice😂
This one was kind of tough to watch because this very same struggle Aries spoke of, applies to corporations and other businesses not just limited to celebrities and entertainers.
His point is 100% valid.
Lots of folks skip the line in corporate America as well
Just saw a trailer with adam sandlers daughter i was thinkin this exact thing
It’s about time somebody humbled vlad. Their is nothin that Chet Hanks would have gained goin on Vlad that he couldn’t of gained without him. More ppl need to knock this guy off his high horse more
Yes.
Once Special Agent Glad brought up Chet Hanks in that tone I already knew there was some pettiness behind that energy and seconds later he says Chet decided not to do an interview with him lol. His ability to hold grudges is uncanny.
“Marcus Jordan has entered the chat”😂😂😂😂😂
