Part 1: • Vlad Tells Tray Deee: ...
In this clip, Tray Deee talked about his experience on the Up in Smoke Tour from his interactions with Eminem, Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre down to the situation moment he and Goldie Loc decided to leave the tour. He also explained how he learned a lesson on professionalism from the legendary Eric B after deciding not to perform in front of a crowd of only about 40-50 people. - บันเทิง
Saw Redman and it ended being only about 300 people at a venue that could hold 3,000 and he said " I don't give a f@#$ if it's 500 or 50,000, I'm gonna rock it." He said "consider it a private show". After the show he shook everyone's hands, took pics, signed shoes, hats, frisbees, whatever. That was one of my all time favorite shows I've ever been to! That's how shit should be handled as an artist. Make memories with your fans!
Redman is known to hold it down at all times, God bless that man
Redman is a real life entertainer, dude is one of the Gods in hip hop. The Eastsiders were real life gangsters lmao
That's why Redman is still relevant.
Reading this is refreshing af!! I stopped going to shows a while back. Still a hip hop fan to it's core. Redman is the most transparent rapper in the industry. Nothing but love Dylan!!
That's called.. Professionalism.
Tha Eastsidaz, Snoop, Xzibit, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Westside Connection, Eminem, Proof, D12, Devin The Dude, Crucial Conflict, MC Ren, Warren G, Nate Dogg, man that tour was crazy...
HipHopR&BLover Jon Word. I have the disc of that tour till this day.
legendary tour
DJ Quik was suppose to be on that tour but him dissing Dre on his 5th album hurt him from being asked to be on the tour.His fan base could've spreaded alot being on that tour unless they would've had him opening which probably would've been the case so on that thought it probably didn't matter he wasn't on it
Black Zodak Quik would have been crazy on that tour. I remember when him and Dre made that song together ''Put It On Me'' around that time which was in the movie Training Day.
@@hennessyapplejuice8331 Quik thought Dre dissed him on What's The Difference right?
I was hoping he was gonna say “ just a lot of theatrics “
Exactly lol
fr
I swear wen I saw da title I jus knew it
Loo
That one guy 😂😂😂😂
💯💯💯Love how he explains & DONT overplay HIS role & amplify OTHERS influence & wisdom. HUMILITY💯💯💯
Rare!
When you are the opening act you need to play your position until you move up the totem pole. Lessons learned.
What? The homie Alonzo commenting on VladTV. I’m about to go watch some more StreetTv
Real talk, that should’ve been viewed as an honor and a privilege! At least he was honest, but pay your dues and one day you’ll be the headliner!
Artist should never turn they back on the fans. The fans is who makes the artist rich.
Unfortunately alot of them do and they let that spotlight blind them and forget 💯
Terrence Pierson say that to Artist The Game and his junior egomaniac of a junior brother who go online to insult fans. Game is one of the corniest rapper to ever grace the face of the earth. Fake as hell
I met Tray and Goldie in Indianapolis,IN back in 2002 with some of my homeboys. They was some of the most solid down to earth ppl I ever met. Them and Warren G was cool asf 💯 Snoop was real laid back and cool too
Real Gz 💯
Indiana stand up!!!!
You ain't even smoke with them? Dam you booty
What’s up Naptown in the House 🏠?!?!
Post Road life
BIG TRAY DEE is so genuine... You can hear it in his words be it in a rap, interview, or just meeting him in person... many blessings to da king...
I’m glad the OG admitted that choosing to leave the tour/not perform *(especially after getting paid!)* was a bad idea. I saw Wiz & Curren$y at a very small/intimate venue, and enjoyed every minute. 💯
They tripped out.. that’s the first thing you’re taught.. doesn’t matter how many people show up, someone is watching.. he been in the game long enough to know that.
STAMPEED Lifestyle he said that’s what he learned. The tour happened when they were new to the scene.
He wasn’t in the game that long to have already known that.
I want that shirt. I remember my dad listening to tha eastsidaz. Mane R.I.P. dad 😇
Jovon Booker 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
RIP your pops bro sorry to hear that couldnt imagine losing my guy
RIP to your dad brotha 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙
RIP to your dad. He had good taste. Eastsidaz are great.
First time I saw LL Cool J was the Fresh Fest in Philly, late 80’s. He opened. Place was just filling up. That’s how we found out what he looked like. He rocked it! The rest is history...
Tray Dee is as real as it gets. Im from the bay but spent time in south central, he reminds me of the big homies that showed the lil locs and tiny locs love.
Ego is the enemy.
Humility is a great asset
Reply #1: Get it? Ass-set LOL!
Reply #2: Weird flex but ok...
I got alot respect for tray deee but it was a mistake leaving that tour they let their egos get to them
He didn't need the tour
Yes that's what it was,AND TRUTH BE TOLD,SHIT SOMEONE HAS 2 OPEN UP
Their album was platinum at the time and it definitely wouldnt have took them forward if snoop was not being able to perform with them on the tour. Tray and loc were right to leave and start working on their sophomore album.
@lewietheville homie was 35

Refreshing to hear Vlad and Tray Deee talk about shit like this instead of talking about Tekashi
Tray Deee got too much history than to be wasted on trending topics. He been around since LBC Crew & when Dogg Pound showed they're extended crew of rappers. Tray Deee was on the Thin Line Between Love & Hate soundtrack & movie actually rapping.
were tekashi comes from
Big tree dee is the man dude is str8 up one of my favorite rap artists eva!!!
That was big of Snoop frfr it's not personal
Eric b gave him good advice
I hope people see Vlad the one obsessed with Eminem, not Lord Jamar! not Nick Cannon!
R-I-G-H-T. LMAO 😂 🤣
It's all three of them
@Lloyd Stanford all three of them can’t compare to the obsession of the Stans in the comments tho
It's all 3. Em lives rent free in their heads
Nick is still writing songs about Eminem till this day.
I hear what saying but If your getting paid it shouldn't matter if one person was watching
yep, plus they were going to different cities, surrounded by super talents. They could've used this as an opportunity to make connections and even do extra promos. I can see why Da Eastsidaz weren't super successful even though they had crazy resources, they weren't hungry enough
I know I thought the same thing but you live and you learn. If it was me I woulda performed in front of a honey bucket lol
True
Yep because that how you build up your fan based and record sales
That’s why I hate Black People. We want instant gratification. I had never heard of the Eastsiderz until he started doing Vlad and because of Baby Boy. I actually have become a HUGE FAN because of his interviews and now I LISTEN TO HIS WHOLE CATALOGUE.
You don’t know how many new fans he could have developed on that tour.
YOU SHOW AND PROVE AND GRAB YOUR ACCOLADES
It’s called paying Dues
That's how fire thriller is
Only a greatest hits album can possibly compete
Factssss
Off the Wall was a better album than Thriller
@@kevikev3450 that's fine. But I'm saying the only way to compete with mike is to put all ya #1s 2gether
Gotcha. I was just being incendiary by making the comment but I feel you
@@kevikev3450 I know I been internetting a long time.
They should’ve definitely stayed on tour, show love to the people that are there, It could’ve been one person in the crowd who could’ve been able to change your life
I think Ice Cube and Eric B were right a lot of people woulda killed to be on that tour. But you live and you learn. Thanks for sharing the story Tray.
One of the Truest OGs we have left in the free world Keep it movin big Homie These kids need you n the game you give 💪🏽
In interviews certain James Brown band members mentioned that during low points in his career when there were few people in the audience James still always gave a 100% effort. He never cheated his fans.
DEE is super cool man jus flows wit his and everything kinda roll of his back and takes it how it come. my fav guest fr. G'z ☝
true wisdoms is being open to learn, as he is
Shout out to Tray for listening to EB and actually soaking up knowledge to da point where ah nigga changed his whole game for the better💪💪💪💯
S/O to EB for that.i needed to hear that
I see a lot of people in the comments saying he was stupid for leaving and all, he acknowledges this himself and is being real about it. Eric B gave him that perspective and he ren with it ever since. Considering he was young back then and many (if not most) of us only get wiser as we get older. You guys need to relax, Tray Dee is a real one and obviously humble.
Greedo Kenobi True. I actually commented before I saw the part were he talked about how his perspective changed.
Frank Henry I’m not sure if I saw your comment but I was not referring to anyone specificly, and in your case I understand what you’re saying. And I also understand his reasons for being unhappy at the time but we all agree that what Eric B said makes the most sense.
Greedo Kenobi Oh definitely. I was just agreeing with you. I commented too fast lol But, I m glad he learned that lesson.
Frank Henry I know bro, I can’t find your comment btw but some of the comments I see it’s just like he recently did this, this was more than a generation ago and since he owns up to it I wonder what more do people expect of him. Maybe (not sure) people don’t realise how long ago this tour took place lol. Time flies 😜
Frank Henry And you’re a real dude for saying you reacted too fast... The world needs more of that! Peace my dude ❤️
We need another 1 of these tours
I don't care if it was four people y'all rock the house like it was full
That tour was EPIC !
G'd up is one of my favorite songs ever. Truth be told, I'd listen to Tray Dee on anything. Hell, I'd listen to him read a national geographic, without a back beat.
Its called empathy....you put yourself in your supporters shoes
That's real. A lot of people lack that quality.
Mondo O yes they do
The positive spin on it would be, after every show staying back & signing autographs after every show it woulda meant so much to there fans✊🏾....much love big tray deee keep Vladtv sizzling 🥵🔥
I still got the up in smoke tour on vhs!
dontgetittwizted !!! Classic
dontgetittwizted !!! Damn you stole my comment but imma say it anyways. I still got my up in smoke tour on vhs too!!!
Whatz a vhs?
dontgetittwizted !!! You showing yo age by saying that. I'm showing my age by knowing what you talkin bout 😂😂😂😂

Yep
Up in Smoke Tour - BEST RAP SHOW I EVER WENT TO
I went to the show in D-Town bckstg passes and all, It was great seeing the guys.. missed The EastSiders too, I loved them
Up in smoke tour came to San jose and if I'm not mistaken Xhibit or Jayo Felony was the first performer and snoop did perform with The Eastsiders
Dope interview AND deep
This made me think of Montel Jordan. In his "Unsung" episode he said he did a show where only 7 people showed up & he still performed in the arena as if it was packed.
It must of killed him seeing how epic the road and party’s were and how legendary it is
He looks like he lived with it pretty fine like he said "we at the house parties fuck going clubbin"
Every time I see “theatrics” I start 😂
Vlad voice gets LOUDER when she's trying 2 over talk you 💯
Vlad always wanna be right looking like a goofball 💯
Wtf, getting paid for performing to hundreds of ppl ain't beneficial to the artist? That's lame
Worms Ali I was just about to say! Am I missing something here? Damn
One big reason I stopped getting VIP/meet and greet Tickets, theres a few rappers that dont care what the crowd look like they are going to perform and end up giving the money to charity
They should’ve had the DJ play longer til the people showed up
Real talk in this video..... salute
He's talking about Exhibit. That was a bitch move to quit the tour because essentially they didn't wanna pay their dues as an opening act. If you're the opening act that comes with it so do the best performance you can and be cool with your position until you can move up in the food chain of touring acts. Method Man and Red Man went through the same thing during the Hard Knock Life/Def Jam tour and decided that they were gonna give the best show they could do and they became notorious for upstaging the headliners. And they made it known to the headlining acts that they were purposely killing on stage to make them look bad and make the headliners work harder. It got to a point that people purposely started coming earlier to see them open the show because it started being known as the best part of the show, mind you this was when the whole Rocafella camp(Beanie, Young Guns, Freeway, Bleek, and even an early Kanye West were peaking then) and DMX were on the bill. That tour was part of the reason Jay Z got known for being kinda lame to see live. If you wanna talk Rock and Roll, Van Helen were opening for Black Sabbath and were so good they got kicked off the tour for upstaging Ozzy and the crew. Later on they got known throughout the industry as a band you don't want opening up because they'll make you look bad...that's when Ticketron offered them a headlining bill. They didn't have to open anymore and they earn the right to demand more money, better lighting, their own personal sound guy and etc for their tours.
You realize they were super new to the game? I believe he said he regrets it. Don’t know if I’d say it’s a “bitch move” but just a mistake. I could see if they realized what they were doing and still left.
That's why I fuck with Tray Dee. He a real dude and he always keep it 1000
When Tray Deee First Got Out They Were One Of The Openers At How The West Was Won And I Was Pissed Cause That Was One Of The Main Acts I Wanted To See But I Was Waiting In Line To Get In! So He’s Fasho Right!

I don't think Ice Cube performed at that show which disappointed me greatly.
Side bar: the bottom of the totem pole is the important prestigious part. Look it up.
When will vlad interview Goldie loc
Goldie probably dont want to..same with mack 10
Good conversation.
Vlad: "so you performed at the Up In Smoke Tour with Eminem - any stories with Eminem?"
Tray Dee: "No"
Vlad:
Puts Eminem in the title.
Vlad going shady with his misleading titles.
I’m so mad I missed that damn tour...I figured, hey, they’ll come back around another time...smh
Same here. That tour seemed to go on forever lol
it was 🔥🔥
Me too lol
I went to the show in Worcester, MA....I remember Xzibit, Ice Cube, Em, Dre and Snoop ofcourse....East Siderz I don't remember... believe the Dogg Pound was there though....epic show!
That was the first time they toured together since nwa an you thought it was gonna come back around crazy I was at the Portland Oregon show eastsidaz wasn't there but was the best concert I've ever been to
Pac literally passed just before the big Hip Hop arena tours started to take off. Sad as he was just taking it that way with some of his live shows.
That ‘Up and Smoke tour’ also had half of the Deathrow props/ideas with the big skull and low riders etc!!
Looked an amazing tour though!!!
Pac was on that arena tour venue of his own just before he passed.He was on tour w ice cube,dre,dj quick, and I believe snoop was even on the line up. Would've been a good 1 to see
Robert Shoemaker
Yeah he did the one in New Orleans I believe, and maybe Ohio if I remember right.
Big Rap Venues started in 1984-85...And the y have always been there...The difference was that rap kept growing but We were going to concerts that had 7-8 groups at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit...
Yeah, Dre used the skulls etc back in '92/'93. Years before Pac even signed to Death Row.
FromQB2theLB
Yeah I know bro.
They used a lot of the props from the Death row years.
Tray Dee a real one!
Yeah i remember that tour, they weren't there when they came to my town.
That short is fire.Thats my album too,I fucks with eastsidaz heavy.Respect.
Great lesson
I hope 50 cent gets to watch this interview because when I went to his concert, everybody felt like he didn't want to be there, even though the crowd was really turned up

Well Planet Asia is straight out of Fresno.
Bad move, should've just kept touring and gain even more fans. They were fresh artists to the mainstream and were in a very good position opening up for the Up In Smoke Tour. Master P would start off performing wherever he could when he started. Got booed, dissed and received blank stares. In the end, it drove him and he did it to the fullest with NO LIMIT
All this 'have patience' bullshit killed alot of people on the inside.I am one of them
#facts @Trae. Always rock the crowd. A good performance goes a long way. One fan can easily turn into 10 and so on. Take yo small crowds and keep pushing. Gotta start somewhere, why not the bottom?
Warren g was the opener in Portland Oregon remember going to that concert with my brother after he got out of Oregon youth authority he did 6 1/2 years I was 17 he was 21 good times
Number one thing as a business person. Respect your consumer
Damn I remember barely rollin my blunts gettin seated when they were already speeding through their set.....
I was 12, l3 yrs old when they came to Cleveland ohio that summer i went to that up in smoke concert n im mad now knowing I could have seen the eastsidaz...smh mannnnn.

Shit 700 people shit pretty good! Just gotta rock it for them 700
Nice to hear a story where everyone acted like gentlemen instead of fools
I remember in 2018 I bought two tickets for me and my girl, to see the Dipset in Rochester NY, we were in Canada like two hours away, so we had to cross the border, on our way there they cancelled the show. We were fucked up, we checked ticket Master and realize that Jah Rule and Ashanti had a show in Albany which was an extra 3 hours away we droved there, got there the show had already started but we got to see them for the first time and they did all their hits together the concert wasn't packed but we felt better, had a good time.
I hear what he's saying but true fans would know that they're opening and should have shown up earlier if they wanted to see them. And that's how all artists start out I remember when G-Eazy first came out and was opening up in Dallas and they're literally only being like five-six hundred people. And then a year later perform at the same place in front of thousands.
They did the right move. Some people dont remember that eastsidaz is a trio and snoop was an intergral part of the group. Not having snoop share the stage with them hamstrung them especially since their album went platinum.
Leaving the Tour was a dumb decision
I remember the first show in Diego I watched them perform and I met Goldie Locc
Bruce Wayne naw bitch I was security I was getting paid to be there and I watched a good concert
Bruce Wayne hey look here homie I’m grown I don’t play games so get the fuck on

i live in Indio ca , next to Coachella...big fan of the We East Sidaz . we need that show my G #760 #desertboii
Damn It makes sense...i was in DC in Capitol hill at the Holiday in looked out the window and saw the up in smoke tour bus.....eminem and dre was at the bar surrounded by body guards but Cube was sittin there drinkin a long island to thr neck...took pics and chopped it up wit me at 16...mind u im from the bay and was out there on a fluke first time ona plane....then Dub C and kurupt C-walked up the tour bus for us....but it make sense I never saw yall
Each one, teach one
I went to up in smoke when they came to detroit,me n like 7 people drove from ohio.the eastsidaz was who i wanted to see bad af cuz i knew i probly wouldnt get a chance to see them perform live again..we got there and alex thomas was opening up,,i dont kno if the eastsidaz performed before him,or if they was still on the bill..
I'm not a huge football fan, but I looked up to a few player's! Drove with my dad, HOURS to watch the Bear's in training camp! Met Walter Payton, year's before he was so cool we took pictures with him and even I got his autograph! #R.I.P.
Another famous player (won't say his name) yelled and cussed me out, I was a kid then so I cried and everything! (you get back the, same energy you put out) He was cut from, the team 3 day's later and never hit the field again!
OG hat tight as hell. He got his ears pinned up in that shit.
He was trippin their pride got in the way they just should of performed
Rookie mistake
Who was it that paid for the lighting rig so they didnt have to go on first?
Who was the major artist that he was talking about that swapped places opening up with them ?
Stat quo
Xzibit
Real shit perform in front who there, dont matter who ain't!
OG Tray Deee
vlad mentions Eminem before he's brought up were all shocked 🤣🤣
That's cool that Tray Deee cares about his fans and not just making money
