kanye west always has something controversial to say every single year van lathan is a kanye west hater that fell out with kanye once he started supporting donald trump in 2016
Van Lathan is always insightful a pleasure to here this brother speak. One of our best and brightest minds today. Proctect this man at all cost hes a national treasure. 🙌🏾💪🏿
People are the individuals they are. Who is deciding what "the culture" is, i.e. "Black" culture and who belongs to it or not. Sounds like another form of "racism," another mechanism used to define others and control their humanity.
finally someone talking about it!! this why wayne will never be goat!! wayne a sellout and its not ok for black people to be neutral, black people being neutral is why emmet till did not reach old age smh thats the problem w black celebrities
That sounds like a stretch to me, succesful celebrities being responsible for why Black people are murdered for the "racism" of others. Can you elaborate?
Wayne style is wht... Hes a skateboard bart simpson rapper! His clothes is wht. Tatoos is wht... He transformed these new goofy mfrs into bart simpsons😂😂😂😂
skateboarding is not white and it never was, i has a skate board as a kid ,wayne is a sellout , i know plenty black skate boarders that acknowledge racism exists
@filaspeaks1094 huh, skateboarding was all wht, just like everything else was... But ofcourse blk folks scateboard, but it was mostly suburban middle class not hood hood! What hood nih you know was wearing vans? It was wht dudes in Cali, but its cool... Wayne is just not a hood hood type, and that's cool... He's just a kids rapper to me!
This is why I always LOL when folks discuss people being culture vultures.. When these cats go shoot videos in the hood, but they live in mansions - you are a culture vulture..
Willie D does not have the emotional aptitude to have these conversions. Laughing when he was telling the story about his father shows he didn’t understand what Van was expressing.
The title didnt do the interview justice. Wayne is a confused and bought clown for his views on racism but lyrically gifted no doubt. However the meat of this convo was so much deeper than that. The mental health (anxiety, trauma) aspects the family and father son dynamics. It was refreshing to hear. Thank you 🙏🏾
Shalom-Salute! No, *That stuff is unsaid*, No that's something between you and him❤💔😢🌞🌝! Maaaan he spoke my exact feelings, with the questions I have for my father(RIP95). Salute Family!!

Lil Wayne don’t have the same view of racism because he was already running with superstars that was considered above the law at such a young and impressionable age.
I agree with what he's saying but I'd like to get to a point to where we as a people are not looking so closely at the perspectives of athletes and entertainers. We need to stop doing that. There are plenty of other people in our community that are well informed and educated on issues that matter that can speak on that. We don't need to run to rappers every time something happens. Go talk to Roland Martin, Marc Lamont Hill, Angela Rye, Michael Eric Dyson, Van Jones, Stacey Abrams, Cornel West. Stop giving people so much influence because they can sing and dance or run with a ball.
About Lil Wayne he didn't make sense to me way back when he was affiliated with Cash Money Millionaires spouting about absolutely nothing but negative stereotypes and he makes absolutely no sense to me now...But I can relate to Van talking about losing his parent because not that long ago that's happen to me especially with the part about not saying everything in front of the entire family part. But I really became a fan of Van Lathan when he took a stand while he was on TMZ and no one including Harvey Levin, didn't have his back whatsoever.
Lil wayne left the hood alone. Now he sees the world 🌎 in a different light until he gets it from the cops then it's racist 💯 even tho he was hi and drunk and out of his mind but he forgot about Katrina and the response to helpn his city out he's a 🤡 Wayne didnt deserve the SUPERBOWL
He's quoting a Wayne verse. He fixed his mouth to say I'll beat the pu55y up like Emmet Till. But whoever saw Wayne as a leader was misguided from the jump. He never gave us that energy.
Van is on point, as always. The only thing I would disagree with, is about Kanye. Let’s not forget that Kanye is the one who called out a president on national television, for not caring about Black people. I never heard no other celebrity speak up like that.
@ I don’t think he did. He’s just not watching to the typical narrative. Black people are not a mono and so he’s doing his own I 100% disagree with all the antisemitic stuff he said. But he also said he is God, which I do agree with. Instead of praying to a higher power, he is believing in himself. But nobody gets mad when he says the N-word.
@@logicalblackman8228 Kanye is like a confused spoiled brat who know one around him can tell him anything. He is smart enough to play on peoples emotions but not smart enough to realize he is not as smart as he thinks he is.
Add Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson when they were alive. Michael Jackson had the whole NASCP with Sharpton and more blks behind him and soon after the bs quiet down he go right back to being YT just like when the cops were chasing OJ and dam near everybody blk were rooting for him except me.
I concur when they the media was talking about OJ Simpson back in 1994, I could've cared less because they kept putting the NBA Finals in a small box while they were showing the bronco being chased by the police I was a teenager back then and I was like who is this dude? and why should I even care?
@@KevinSimmons-yx6fg I didn't care either I was 18, but no part of me wanted them to catch him. I knew they would. I remember my mother saying she hoped he wouldn't kill himself. I felt that a little, but I was young. Not at one time though was I thinking I hope they catch him.
I’m so tired of this narrative. It’s not me deflecting or denying that racism exists…. It’s just so defeating listening to grown men and women especially with success keep that continual loop alive. If you ignore something it doesn’t mean it does not exist. It just means you’re not going to pay 💰 for its attention. All this talk and ain’t no one black, successful or not sharing money with the intent on building institutional wealth!!! This is true legacy.
Can you blame people that make it out of the poverty and death spiral in the South not to want to come back? I mean come back for what? Have any of you all driven down through there lately. I mean the buildings are burnt out and falling in on one another and nature is taking over.
Lil Wayne been rich for a long time since he was a child so it’s hard for him to relate. It’s not Wayne it’s Capitalism. Van get money he gonna talk different .
Black this, black that. Always yapping about race. Dont yall get tired of this? Besides, both of these black soul bruthas are rich and have plenty of white friends
I have yet to meet a single person who respects Lil Wayne’s views on ANYTHING!
I do.
I respect his views, because I respect him as being his own man. I respect his humanity. Its his choice on how he experiences and navigates his reality.
However, if he is denying other people's reality in the process, I take issue with that. But I don't take it personally. Especially to the point of disrespecting his humanity. Some people question others not because they want to understand them or their reality/truth. They question because they want to validate their own reality, their truths.
That’s wild. People are wearing their emotions and treating others indifferently for unknown reasons. I respect all viewpoints

Im 60 yrs of age and from Southeast Louisiana Lil Wayne is crazy to say he never seen racism especially here in the boot and other places.
Yea my folks left Louisiana in the late 40s for NYC, 3 sisters one stayed others never really went back again
Wayne is delusional
It's just black people cry racism too much so you need a push in the other direction
A republican ran state like other red states last in education, poorest citizens in their states!!

As of late, he definitely wasn't real when he put in all them years at TMZ.
Hands down
Where can I find his writings?

I'm glad Kendrick lamar is performing at the super bowl !! Lil wayne is not for the culture and he is a junkie!! 💯💯
My thoughts exactly!!!
Kendrick is a Trumper. What are you talking about

I been saying that about lil wayne for
years. And also how he is not Real hip
hop. And i always crickets...
He sold out his people to get out of jail time. I have no respect for him
We're those people going to sit in the jail with him
@kodakjack did we help him commit crimes? No. But we made him rich. Good night sweetie!
Yeah, Wayne is a legend who created a generation of lean sippers. Smh.
great interview!!!!
VAN KEEPS IT REAL
What victim mentality mindset
Kanye started off pro black, then got mad at President Obama and switched on all of us.
Yep! I remember that!! Got mad because Obama called him a jack 🍑 because of what he did to Taylor Swift at the VMA’s
Yea. Kanye was also somewhat real
Hip hop also when he came out..
Then he changed into some mega
pop star with mental issues..
Van Lathan threaded that needle.
Nope !! That’s you who can’t handle the truth 😂😂😂😂
