@Guy Guillermo You say it's cool for Sam Smith to not like Michael Jackson but then say he's disrespectful for saying it ?? Huh ?? He can feel it but not say it ?? He wasn't doing a public interview or on an awards show. He was in a casual conversation with one person on a boat It also doesn't mean he thinks he can "measure up" to Michael like you insinuated. You can think someone is very talented and not be a fan of their work. Lastly, how in the world do you connect Sam Smith to anything hip hop ?? I'm no Sam Smith fan so maybe I missed his rap album.
@Guy Guillermo Your analogies about "fat girls" and "Uncle Earl" don't apply here because Sam Smith didn't say it in a room full of Michael Jackson fans or at his eulogy. He said it to one person with no crowd around.

@@sycko8 Thanks! Even though we kinda chastised JT a bit for not stepping up during the Janet Jackson controversy, Black folks still love his music and respect his talent.

I agree...we had to dress up as characters only represented by white people and now the one black super hero we get isn’t appropriate for white kids to dress up as. Let kids be kids and dress up as characters damn. It’s a line for some things.....
Big Rob Videos it was an ignorant question....it shows white people still don’t get it. It’s not about white kids or adults dressing up as characters....ITS THE PAINTING YOUR FACE BLACK THATS THE PROBLEM...so yes it made the question ignorant as hell.
you can't sing R&B as a male and say you dont like Michael Jackson. you literally exist because of him.... u think some1 is gonna play guitar and diss rob plant or jimi hendrix and have a viable career after? if sam smith wasn't a singer saying he didn't like MJ that be no big deal. even as a celeb. bigger deal maybe but not as much. but you can't be in the same exact profession as the king of pop then come out your face sideways.
Lots of rock people diss legends. Kurt Cobain was a little twat that shit on everybody and hated everything. The entire genre of punk rock was based on shitting on rock legends.
@@adamprice4871 this isn't punk though. This is not throwing out the book on how to play guitar or compose a song. Sam Smith sings like an RnB artist. We learn from what we hear around us. Pop music was heavily influenced by RnB. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey influenced the amount of runs and inflections artists do in their song. George Michael was probably influenced by Stevie Wonder among other people. MJ would have indirectly impacted Smith without question.
Exactly, that man knows damn well that MJ was the blueprint for everything he has ever done vocally, nowhere near as well. And i like sam smith's voice. I also sing r&b and that's just bonkers to me unless he just thinks it will make him look edgy and cool. But it makes him look dumb and unpreofessional.
Dangerous was a dynamite album and my 3rd favorite album from MJ, behind Off the wall and Thriller. I think Dangerous.......even with all of its awards and accolades, i think it's very underrated.
thank you sir. finally someone with senses. Dangerous is absolutely underrated although officially being the best selling new jack swing album of all times. those songs on dangerous man, even if you play some of them today sound like produced yesterday .... "She Drives Me Wild", "Who Is It", "Cant Let Her Get Away", "Give In To Me" ... DOPE AS FUCK
It's a diss on Sam Smith opinion because obviously giving his vocal disposition he's been directly influenced heavily by black culture and its probable that MJ had to be one of those very influences. That mentioning of his hypocritically off putting to our culture from a white male who imitates it. The same if Adele would've made the same remark against Anita Baker, Patti Labelle, Stephanie Mills, or Minnie Riperton. You can't downput an icon of a culture but at the same time your making millions by mimicking it. (I thought his most known single was unequivocally a black man until I saw a co-worker playing the video.)

Nope. 1) he didn't even mention what possible thing Justin could say that was disrespectful. He only said what Prince said that was disrespectful. Prince said he doesn't like JT. So when JT decides to keep on making music, is that really disrespectful? No, that's blasphemy and biased on Godfrey's side. 1.5) JT has actually only shown love towards Prince (and MJ etc) throughout the years, and FSLS is heavily influenced by Prince's late-80's funk-innovations. 2) he said that he isn't better than Usher, Chris Brown, and Ne-Yo. - he's better than all of them.

Ne-Yo didn't even exist back then - at that point Godfrey was just spitting delusional stuff out equivalent to "the world is shaped like a chair"
"I get it, if my culture was corny I'd look for a different culture " Bruh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 As black people we can't help it if we're blessed, bring the life to the party and the sauce for the dry chicken 😂 Go take that conversation up with God 😆 *too blessed to be stressed*
As a singer you can't not like certain artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, you can't be a singer & not like cats like that. Those are some of the greatest musical talents of all time.
“Sam Smith is a white artist whom I don’t listen to becaus he’s corny.” - Godfrey Haha same here. Sam Smith is indeed corny. His voice and songs are corny.
Sam Smith will never be anywhere near Michael Jackson's realm of Greatness in terms of talent, iconography or success. I'm surprised Janet Jackson didn't check him.
Side note- nothing wrong with dressing up like a superhero. It's Blackface that is a problem. Captain America is my favourite hero. Still, I guess Sam Wilson was Captain America so I could dress as him if anyone has a problem lol.
You can dress as Captain America even if there wasn't a Sam Wilson. You can dress up as Captian America even if you were a Chinese girl, born in Somalia and raised in London, England. It's nobody's business but your own. Hell, it ain't even your business. LOL!! It's just a superhero costume. That's it.
@@marlonthomas8042 people do and did. But Black people don't control the media, and social media wasn't around back then. So those who knew about it would not have been heard, at least in the way we are now. And again, Blackface is racist, period. It being "funny" (it isn't), in a film, or by an actor whose father was a director of many blaxploitation films, or less known or heard about, doesn't make it not racist.
I agree with the God Free. It's just certain respect for certain legends. I don't listen to Elvis but I wouldn't be a national recording artist talking about how I don't like Elvis. And MJ is the KING of Kings!!! If you don't like him, then just stay quiet. STFU is always perfectly acceptable as an answer.
Thriller compared to Nas Illmatic is like comparing Apples to Bananas is like comparing Mac and Cheese to Spaghetti its like comparing toast with Pop tarts its like comparing really really Fat chick to a skinny one smfh
@@FARecordsJF Well from what I got from his Analogies is saying both are great but are completely different styles. I could be slightly off with his emphasis on how high he praises the two.
@@youngfelipe9068 No I'm saying he should of compared it to the same genre... that's like comparing the Beatles catalogue to the Migos 😂🤣😂 different styles different sound different genres...that's my opinion.
Come on...Michael Jackson is the greatest artist to ever hit this planet. Stevie Wonder and Prince? I love them to bits but MJ was a global supernova individual..it will never be replicated what he actually was...when you search on google whos the most famous person ever you will get jesus christ and Michael Jackson...that is big.
I remember back Eminem dissed Michael Jackson and I thought that was messed up because I thought he never at least gave him his respect as a great artist. Even if he never liked his music he could've at least acknowledged MJ's achievements or contributions to music in the midst of insulting him. I felt he should have just never said anything about him if he was just gonna make fun of him. But recently I saw in a interview where he at least called him a legend.
human nature Also did you know that MJ owned the rights to Eminem's back catalogue after his partnership company Sony/ATV purchased the publishing company Famous Music for $370 million in 2007.
I wage 100 LJ hasn't been right ever since Em put that album out he went full blown racist true colors came out glad OG Willie D put his 2cents and made dude look dumb af.
I've been binge watching Godfrey interviews with Vlad and i officially BELIEVE I'm Godfrey's number #1fan, he's HILARIOUS, Godfrey, Dave Chappell, Bernie Mac and TK Kirkland hands down my faves💕💕💕👍👍
I was about to laugh at Godfrey's reaction to Sam Smith's "opinion" of MJ, but the longer I watched...the more I realized I react the SAME WAY whenever someone says something bad about MJ....
The question is : How could you disrespect a child, born 2 years after the end of segregation in the US, who came from Gary's poor neighborhoods, who did not go to school very often because he was doing concerts and tours ? How could you disrespect an 8-year-old boy who was beaten day and night to give us beautiful songs and concerts ? He sacrificed all of his life for Music and for us. He gave us amazing musics and beautiful messages of peace, tolerance and Justice. You may not like the artist, but respect him. This Sam tries to shares messages about LGBT community ( I respect this community ) bla bla bla cause he’s gay lol but it’s easy. A lot of artists defend this community so... you just following the movement. You’ll never touch our hearts as MJ did. Try again. Bye.
Stop Sam Smith! Black Americans are talented when it comes to music, dancing, sports, they are blessed. I know why they are blessed because did you know who help Jesus carried the cross, it was an Ethiopian.
I have a nuanced opinion on this. Yes people always should be respectful of other people's culture, but that being taken into account, I hate the cultural appropriation argument, especially in music. Music is a universal culture. It's Human. It can't be hijacked. So I don't know the source of the Justin Timberlake debate, but I think he is dope AF. Maybe someone can educate me on the topic. I also think Prince is one of the greatest musicians and entertainers of all time, bar none. My opinion doesn't change if Prince didn't like Timberlake. Black, White, Brown, Asain, African, European, Middle Eastern, we all have dope shit in various areas.Just enjoy being human and shun bigotry. Do dope shit! ✊🏾✌🏾
The source of the Justin Timberlake debate is, Prince dissed Justin Timberlake about his song SexyBack, where in the hook, Justin says "I'm bringing sexy back." Prince replied "the sexy never left." Then Justin replied back to that. Lately the black community (I'm black, so don't start that shit) has been on this cultural appropriation bullshit and still resents Justin Timberlake for snitching on Janet Jackson YEARS AGO on during the Super Bowl. So whenever Godfrey comes to do interviews on DJ Vlad, he is always bringing that up and getting mad hyped off of it. Like Justin Timberlake didn't have the right as a man to defend himself when another dude, even if its Prince talks slick about him. Prince been talking slick about other artists for years, especially about Michael Jackson. I'm a fan of Michael Jackson, Prince, Justin Timberlake, but I'm not so up their ass that they can't be called out on funny shit. Godrey is a stand up comedian, since when did comedians become PC snowflakes?
@Stocton slap let's get technical.. Are you stating that African Americans , Africans , West Indies/ Caribbeans etc. who share the same negroid characteristics doesn't won't to be called "black" as a sum-up term, in general, or grouped as a categorizing term right? Because "black" as a identifying word, has now become a direct term for the negroid species in America ?
@@laronwilliams7127 Only African Americans in North America refer to themselves as black (a color). Every where else we identify ourselves by Nationality. i.g. Jamaicans, Nigerians, Ethiopians, Somalians etc.
Being a singer & not liking Michael Jackson is borderline blasphemy.

*clap..... clap..... clap* What an original and unique comment.
Yes Sir. Very true. Show respect to legends. When your right, you are right
You're*
It's ironic that Sam Smith would say that when his Academy Award winning Bond theme is an updated version of Michael's "Earth Song"
As a singer you can't not like certain artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, you can't be a singer & not like cats like that. Those are some of the greatest musical talents of all time.
Damn straight. All of them & imma throw George Michael in just 'cause I'm about to get in my feelings about the shit😂
Respectfully I wouldn’t put any white singer in any category that you have to respect
They forget about the legends so fast... ;( Michael Jackson was a LEGEND!!!
He is the best singer of all time
Was? U mean is!
@@simplyme1678 u deserve a hug woman
IS a legend.
“Sam Smith is a white artist whom I don’t listen to becaus he’s corny.” - Godfrey
Haha same here. Sam Smith is indeed corny. His voice and songs are corny.
VladTv presents Comedy Hour? Get it going mane! All the cats that you interview on the regular TK Kirkland, Godfrey, etc would be dope.
Quincy L. Edwards yo!!!!! Imagine. Hosted by Jamar and Vlad (via Skype) 🙃
That's Golden
Dope idea
Vlad give this man a job
He is consistently giving the best interviews
This is straight 🔥🔥💯💯 Michael Jackson at 9 years old in the Jackson 5 was more talented than Sam Smith at fucking 30 years old 😂😂 facts 💯💯
This whole interview had me 😭😭😭😭😭.... everything he said was facts 😂😂😂😭🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
“If my culture was kind of corny”....this guy is a meanie....love him.
Sam Smith will never be anywhere near Michael Jackson's realm of Greatness in terms of talent, iconography or success. I'm surprised Janet Jackson didn't check him.
I agree with Godfrey 100%
Side note- nothing wrong with dressing up like a superhero. It's Blackface that is a problem. Captain America is my favourite hero. Still, I guess Sam Wilson was Captain America so I could dress as him if anyone has a problem lol.
You don't speak for all black ppl js lots probably don't even give two shits.
@@TheSmilodon85 so you have a problem with white kids dressing up as a Black superhero?
You can dress as Captain America even if there wasn't a Sam Wilson. You can dress up as Captian America even if you were a Chinese girl, born in Somalia and raised in London, England. It's nobody's business but your own.
Hell, it ain't even your business. LOL!! It's just a superhero costume. That's it.
Why don't you start white face movement?
@@marlonthomas8042 people do and did. But Black people don't control the media, and social media wasn't around back then. So those who knew about it would not have been heard, at least in the way we are now.
And again, Blackface is racist, period. It being "funny" (it isn't), in a film, or by an actor whose father was a director of many blaxploitation films, or less known or heard about, doesn't make it not racist.
I agree with the God Free. It's just certain respect for certain legends. I don't listen to Elvis but I wouldn't be a national recording artist talking about how I don't like Elvis. And MJ is the KING of Kings!!! If you don't like him, then just stay quiet. STFU is always perfectly acceptable as an answer.
💯
Nigga fuck Elvis u can say whatever the fuck you want
There’s also no such thing as a “national recording artist” and Sam Smith is from England
Tre Mission appreciate the nitpicking. You get the cookie award for the day. 👍🏾👍🏾 You got the point of what I was saying.
Tre Mission Elvis is a legend
Stan Lee said he left Spider-Man masked fully so ALL children could imagine themselves as that superhero…. Despite race…
Thriller compared to Nas Illmatic is like comparing Apples to Bananas is like comparing Mac and Cheese to Spaghetti its like comparing toast with Pop tarts its like comparing really really Fat chick to a skinny one smfh
Your analogies are horrendous. Can't believe you wrote that and were satisfied enough to post the comment.
so basically you’re saying you don’t believe in having an opinion?
@@FARecordsJF Well from what I got from his Analogies is saying both are great but are completely different styles. I could be slightly off with his emphasis on how high he praises the two.
@@youngfelipe9068 No I'm saying he should of compared it to the same genre... that's like comparing the Beatles catalogue to the Migos 😂🤣😂 different styles different sound different genres...that's my opinion.
Godfrey Speaks Truth! Facts! 💯💯
Come on...Michael Jackson is the greatest artist to ever hit this planet. Stevie Wonder and Prince? I love them to bits but MJ was a global supernova individual..it will never be replicated what he actually was...when you search on google whos the most famous person ever you will get jesus christ and Michael Jackson...that is big.
I remember back Eminem dissed Michael Jackson and I thought that was messed up because I thought he never at least gave him his respect as a great artist. Even if he never liked his music he could've at least acknowledged MJ's achievements or contributions to music in the midst of insulting him. I felt he should have just never said anything about him if he was just gonna make fun of him. But recently I saw in a interview where he at least called him a legend.
Just Bekuz did Eminem called MJ a legend?
human nature Em ain’t no legend.
human nature Yup in this Encore era Sway interview. th-cam.com/video/nunegI7b1Es/w-d-xo.html
Just Bekuz yes i did so who’s the sucker now looool
human nature Also did you know that MJ owned the rights to Eminem's back catalogue after his partnership company Sony/ATV purchased the publishing company Famous Music for $370 million in 2007.
Never even heard of Sam Smith, had to look that loser up lol
Justin Timberlake's Justified is written by Pharrell Williams, not Ne-Yo.
Other than that I agree with Geoffrey 100%
I'll wage $5 Lord Jamar finds this racist.
u sitting alone thinking about Lord Jamar smh get a life
You're sitting alone thinking about me sitting alone. Weirdo.
your own mother does not think about your punk ass
Damn you have a sad life and you're a weirdo. Sorry man, hopefully things get better for you eventually.
I wage 100 LJ hasn't been right ever since Em put that album out he went full blown racist true colors came out glad OG Willie D put his 2cents and made dude look dumb af.
GODFREY! ✊🏾
Man I love godfrey dude is genuinely funny and real at the same time
When Godfrey went off I was in the back like YYEAAHHH!!!!!
I've been binge watching Godfrey interviews with Vlad and i officially BELIEVE I'm Godfrey's number #1fan, he's HILARIOUS, Godfrey, Dave Chappell, Bernie Mac and TK Kirkland hands down my faves💕💕💕👍👍
Follow him on Instagram! He does regular Lives and he is Hilarious. The best for sure!!
@@Nailsbysophia-h4z
Thanks for the info my friend and yes i agree he is the absolute best!!😊
Regardless of race, If you’re a deep fan of music, it’s mind boggling that anyone could dislike Prince or Michael Jackson
Vlad had to throw Nas in here... he couldn’t help it 😂
Trav 😂😂😂 he loves Nas
I was about to laugh at Godfrey's reaction to Sam Smith's "opinion" of MJ, but the longer I watched...the more I realized I react the SAME WAY whenever someone says something bad about MJ....
Vlad, "Off the Wall" was better than Thriller.
Exactly!
Facts
Hell yeah Anthony Finley!!!
*_Yup_*
opinions ... are like assholes ;) but no disrespect .. I always thought Dangerous is MJ's absolute peak
The question is : How could you disrespect a child, born 2 years after the end of segregation in the US, who came from Gary's poor neighborhoods, who did not go to school very often because he was doing concerts and tours ? How could you disrespect an 8-year-old boy who was beaten day and night to give us beautiful songs and concerts ? He sacrificed all of his life for Music and for us. He gave us amazing musics and beautiful messages of peace, tolerance and Justice. You may not like the artist, but respect him.
This Sam tries to shares messages about LGBT community ( I respect this community ) bla bla bla cause he’s gay lol but it’s easy. A lot of artists defend this community so... you just following the movement.
You’ll never touch our hearts as MJ did. Try again. Bye.
Vlad knows it is disrespectful.......Sam Smith couldn't hold Micheal Jackson's mic on his worst day.....
I could listen to Godfrey all day! I'm crying with laughter ..he is absolutely correct!
YAAAAAAAAS preach , he dragged Sam 😂😂
My 5 year white old son was black panther and he looked cool AF
Preach that gospel Godfrey.....✊
This guy is my spirit animal . Lots of these corny average singers out now talk shit like their shit is amazing when it’s not lol
Godfrey speaking nothing but facts, "shut your average mouth"🤣🤣🤣
Vlad is literally winging it as a Journalist
FACTSSSS 😂 😂😂 😂
"Justified was written by Ne-Yo PUTNA"..Jheeese😄😎Tell em God😎🔥🔥#Respect
Black panther patty lol
Black Panther Patty
One of the most underrated MJ tracks was when he was with The Jacksons. That's what you get for being polite
Stop Sam Smith! Black Americans are talented when it comes to music, dancing, sports, they are blessed. I know why they are blessed because did you know who help Jesus carried the cross, it was an Ethiopian.
Thanks for saying it Godfrey!!!!! 😍🙏🏾
Vlad out here fading
8:29 shit needs to be sampled.. the way he said that is powerful man!
Sam smith? Never heard of him..
Godfrey is keeping it 💯💯 good interview
I have a nuanced opinion on this. Yes people always should be respectful of other people's culture, but that being taken into account, I hate the cultural appropriation argument, especially in music. Music is a universal culture. It's Human. It can't be hijacked. So I don't know the source of the Justin Timberlake debate, but I think he is dope AF. Maybe someone can educate me on the topic. I also think Prince is one of the greatest musicians and entertainers of all time, bar none. My opinion doesn't change if Prince didn't like Timberlake. Black, White, Brown, Asain, African, European, Middle Eastern, we all have dope shit in various areas.Just enjoy being human and shun bigotry. Do dope shit! ✊🏾✌🏾
The source of the Justin Timberlake debate is, Prince dissed Justin Timberlake about his song SexyBack, where in the hook, Justin says "I'm bringing sexy back." Prince replied "the sexy never left." Then Justin replied back to that. Lately the black community (I'm black, so don't start that shit) has been on this cultural appropriation bullshit and still resents Justin Timberlake for snitching on Janet Jackson YEARS AGO on during the Super Bowl. So whenever Godfrey comes to do interviews on DJ Vlad, he is always bringing that up and getting mad hyped off of it. Like Justin Timberlake didn't have the right as a man to defend himself when another dude, even if its Prince talks slick about him. Prince been talking slick about other artists for years, especially about Michael Jackson. I'm a fan of Michael Jackson, Prince, Justin Timberlake, but I'm not so up their ass that they can't be called out on funny shit. Godrey is a stand up comedian, since when did comedians become PC snowflakes?
Lmao at the beginning his reaction to Vlad saying “little White kids”
When I went to go see Black Panther, I was the only black person there. Lol
“And your not even better than neyo.” ... ahhh the shade.
Who is this sam Smith . MJ is the best forever
Godfrey is trippin. Its just an opinion and Sam is an amazing singer. Godfrey just being mad buss here
"Lots of blacks, lots of Africans" is that not the same thing?!?
Lots of whites, lots of Europeans
No.. dipshit
You're a complete idiot
@Stocton slap let's get technical.. Are you stating that African Americans , Africans , West Indies/ Caribbeans etc. who share the same negroid characteristics doesn't won't to be called "black" as a sum-up term, in general, or grouped as a categorizing term right? Because "black" as a identifying word, has now become a direct term for the negroid species in America ?
@@laronwilliams7127 Only African Americans in North America refer to themselves as black (a color). Every where else we identify ourselves by Nationality. i.g. Jamaicans, Nigerians, Ethiopians, Somalians etc.
Awesome as always dropped a like much love
Godfrey is one of those dudes that never grew up
Like almost every celebrity
Also who else thought when Vlad tried to interrupt his rant he was telling Vlad STFU 😩😭😭 I was like ooohhh shittt 👀
