I mean, Vlad, you are a culture vulture. Everybody knows it, even your Black guests. You have people like Aries Spears because he's washed up, and nobody else asks him for an interview.
Guessing you don’t know about the rich Arabs who own the labels that do the same thing. The Arab Muslims own loads but move in silence so you don’t say anything
Lyor Cohen is not a culture vulture neither is Vlad. they have given blacks more opportunities than black people give each other and you sound like a lazy sucka "give up some of his pay to pay artist more" how about they work for it. labels front artist thousands of dollars to fund their music career they just end up flopping cant blame the white man when for artist laziness and failure to grow
*Most people only interact with the IRS when they file their individual income tax return. Some people haven't had to file returns in the past but now need to because they've become eligible for tax credits, and filing a return is the only way to get those credits. When it comes to your taxes and refunds, it's important to be well-informed and prepared.*
IRS employees are working hard to get refunds out quickly, but there are steps people can take to help with the process. They are stressing the importance of filing electronically and choosing direct deposit because that's the easiest way to file and the best way to get a refund quickly.
When filing your tax return you must make sure you are filing the right filing status with the IRS! I have had issues myself while filing my tax refunds buh couldn’t, my spouse happened to know this tax preparer that helped his colleague, so we decided to reach out to her. I will be also glad to refer anyone having issues to Mrs Dorothy Gibson She can help you save money by finding all the deductions and credits you’re eligible for.
Wow I’m shocked you mentioned Mrs Dorothy Gibson I thought people don’t know her... She is very knowledgeable about the ever-changing tax laws, and I feel confident that my taxes are being done correctly.
Dorothy Gibson is known for her exceptional tax services and expertise. She provide reliable and efficient assistance in handling tax-related matters, ensuring that their clients receive the best possible outcomes.
A culture vulture is someone (usually, Non-Black) comes into a culture that is not essentially theirs and use it to benefit themselves and not the culture in which they arent originally from.
It's not that people don't want to see them successful. Just not at the expense of others. It's behind the scenes some of them have been known to block moves and use their influence to keep certain people out of ownership positions. Which imo Vlad doesn't do but in the same breath it doesn't mean every one of these guys is off the hook of being culture vultures.
It makes y’all so mad that 2 white men Have done more for hip hop than y’all could ever get dream of vlad and lyor don’t need y’all’s approval if artists didn’t like him his channel would be dead ..they’ve done more for black people than rest of you bum ass mofos have done combined ..stay mad
This is true im black theres nothing wrong with what vlad is doing some people are just jealous 🤷🏾 vlads been around since the mixtape era thats where he started.. he just stuck to it until he got to where he is now..
*OR* , some people just see things for what they are and comment on it. It’s no love lost because it was never any to begin with..ie LiFE in a nutshell.
Vlad interviews for drama. He flashbacks when it’s drama. He even said himself that his goal was to be like WSHH, and admitted to loving to stir the pot…… and it’s funny how he only does this with black people. Never his own Jewish community.
The reason why they call all of the people you’ve named including yourself “Culture Vultures” isn’t because of the work you’ve put it’s because of what you’ve gotten out of it and what you visibly to black folks haven’t given back. Meaning it’s great that you do these incredible interviews of our prominent artist and leaders but what philanthropic contributions are any of you making to the this culture’s community or even just artist, leaders and entertainers. We/Black Folks give you guys a pass with the hope that you will not only simply tell our stories correctly but make sure you’re giving back as we all have to give back. Trust me when folks don’t see a Jay-Z or a Kayne giving back they catch hell too but an outsider being allowed to be involved in black music, black entertainment and black culture has a much high bar to live up to. Accept it and act accordingly and if you are doing things behind the scenes let it be known. Of course some will still hate but the greater good is that we know you’re an ally and not just another taker.
And the thing is, Vlad doesn’t show any insight on the drama going on with HIS people. So if let’s say white folks who don’t many blacks, they see vlads channel and see nothing but drama, shootings, prison, snitching, murder etc as that’s all we got in the black community. Even the flashbacks….. never a positive one. Just some type of drama.
Vlad wasn't paying people until dame dash called em out on it.. lord Jamar never got paid and his interviews laid the foundation. I like @vladtv but the tryna rewrite history has to stop he getting worst then snoop dogg.. and they call you culture vulture because you came up reusing Tupac songs on mixtapes but you strike down channels clipping your videos.. it’s not being white it’s you being ok doing things to others you’re not ok with being done to you.. it’s how you use your position to prey on us. Like that last rapper who got killed did he really meet the criteria to be on Your channel were you gonna interview him before he got shot?? My point exactly!! You already won you can at-least be real….
This is what's going to happen next. Someone is going to interview Damon Dash and tell him Wack 100 said Vlad is not a culture vulture and Damon was wrong. Then Damon is going to say something. Then Wack is going to threaten to knock Damon out😂
Vlad isn't always my favorite person but calling him a "Culture Vulture" is stupid. It just comes from Jealousy and Bigotry. He is one of the very few people that PAY for interviews. And from what I have heard from guests, he pays well enough to make people happy.
Vlad doesn’t interview about hiphop anymore. It’s about who’s snitching, who got shot, who’s in what gang, who’s beefin….. when the last time he brought someone in to talk about MUSIC. And if he does, it’s a diss track…
Every time this subject is brought up, there tends to be an immediate need for folks to go through a laundry list of things they've done that were beneficial for the industry and individuals overall, as if two things can't be true. You could've seized the opportunity to exploit a void in Black Culture purely for the purpose of enriching yourself and still have done lots of good things as a result. Nobody said just because you're a culture vulture you're intrinsically evil; that's over stigmatizing the concept. The practice of being a culture vulture just rests in the opportunistic nature of it, which can be applied in a variety of ways. Also, nobody said it was illegal either or not a common thing associated with capitalism. I don't get the need to explain oneself regarding it. 😏
if thats the case, then everyone is a culture vulture. at what point do we hold those on the receiving end of those "good things" accountable for being complicit just because they are benefitting? one has to ask the question, are individuals like Lyor Cohen going to stop being "Culture Vultures"? answer more than likely is no. so whats the next step? doubling down on being sanctimonious? or take action instead of making silly complaints?
@@NamaRauqos04595 Damn now I have to be winded with you, as I mentioned before, all these practices are inherent to capitalism, so in some regards, you could deem many folks culture vultures indeed. The distinction lies in how society identifies you at face and the targeting of a community that you wouldn't have otherwise acknowledged, amalgamated with, or taken an interest in had it not been for a propitious financial opportunity that existed simply because there would have been other opportunities to enrich yourself within your own social or cultural sphere. Example: Bill Gates and Mukesh Ambani are not culture vultures because the fields they both excelled in were dominated by folks who related directly to them and likely consisted of a social sphere that they both had been very accustomed to since childhood. Gates didn't just get up out of bed in his late 20s or early 30s and say, "Hey, I think I can start mingling with those fellow Caucasian guys over there in tech who I don't relate to at all and fill a void or modify that industry in a way they likely didn't recognize, which will ultimately make me very wealthy within a relatively short time." It didn't happen like that at all. Not only was he familiar with the space, but he lived in the same neighborhood and attended the same private schools/churches as those same folks that helped him develop the software that led to the success of Microsoft (this is a broad example I'm using to simplify the concept, which isn't necessarily synonymous with race purely). Vlad nor Lyor should not be ashamed they found a niche in free enterprise which employs people in the process, but they both, loosely speaking, are culture vultures amongst many, no doubt about it…😏
A culture vulture is someone who profits off of or exploits another persons culture without giving back or contributing to the culture that allows them to reap financial rewards and/or social status. Yes Vlad has become very wealthy from making his business within black culture, but there is a key difference that separates him from a culture vulture. The people he interviews who are predominantly black people, in many cases have been able to elevate or even revive their careers and financial situations as a direct result of being on Vlad's platform. Vlad is not forcing these people to come on his platform, they are choosing to. As long as people from black culture are benefitting from Vlad TV, that makes it a mutually beneficial arrangement and therefore there is no exploitation or unfair business practice happening.
That doesn’t make it right. Cuz what does Vlad seek out? Drama. Never positivity. He said he wanted to be what WSHH was. When’s the last time Vlad said “hey I wanna talk about your music, your new deals, family life,, etc”. It’s always “hey I wanna talk about how xyz got shot, if xyz is Snitchin, how much coke xyz locked up for, how many opps xyz got, and I want your opinion on tyrese cryin bout child support”. See that difference? It’s not about what you FIND, it’s about what you go out LOOKING FOR. Vlad doesn’t care about the positive. He said “I don’t wanna talk about OJs football career!!! I wanna talk about the murders!!!!!”
He would say “being on my channel is giving u exposure. I’m not paying u”…. He started payin once he told boosie how big his interview was and boosie said “you need to get me a Christmas gift”…. THEN he started paying his regulars.
Way deeper than that. It’s more u really don’t understand the culture, then got the nerve to take credit for things that’s been known. Then tell us what we should tolerate and how we should see things. You’ll never know cus our true struggle is not what you have ever experienced
@@valetudo1569 , you can change it on your behalf but you’re not changing what I stated because of how you “feel”. You people are insanely insane. It’s already been acknowledged that he “helps/appreciates” some aspects of the culture but I’m HIGHLIGHTING the aspects where he doesn’t..Keep up so you can fully comprehend and stop trying to be argumentative.
@@NoLineNoWait123AbC Well you can change it on your own behalf as well, because of how *you* "feel". It's also simply your subjective opinion and is as good as my own
They only seem to call people culture vultures when they’re making a lot of money. and the ones calling people culture vultures are the same one who asked those same culture vultures for help. Make that make sense
This lets me know that Vlad does not know what a culture vulture is. Being successful while being associated with successfulartists does not exclude you from being a vulture. It is, in fact, indicative of being a vulture.
im assuming you are talking about Lyor Cohen? you do know he gave artists platform before they became famous right? thats literally what Vlad was talking about. he wasn't just "associated" with these artists.
@amanialsoquar4945 Again, what you do assist successful artists does not mean you are not a vulture. Lyor Cohen did what a lot of people in the business do: Find talented black artists, sign them to predatory contracts, and encourage them to promote filth to black audiences and after they've had their fill of profiting off of that artist, they sleep like a baby thinking "I got a family to feed so oh well if I profited from death and degradation"
But doesn’t talk about hiphop with the guests. It’s about who’s snitching, who got shot, who’s beefing, murder etc etc when the last time he talked about boosie’s music? That WASNT a diss track. Yea exactly. Vlad ain’t been hiphop for a loooooooong time
He's a culture vulture foh... He being nothing to hip hop. The people writing those songs from hardships of growing up in the streets brought hip hop.. all these guy u ,mention did was figure out how to steal their work and make majority of the money onbit
@@easybandzofficial6456 lmao brought nothing to hip hop lmao that's like saying dame dash didn't bring anything to hip hop. He saw talent, signed them, and got out of the way. He did so much for hip hop and stayed out of the spotlight the entire time
People are two faced on this situation though because the majority of the people was calling Vlad a culture vulture and a snitch but gave him credit for getting Tupacs killer to confess then praised him and called him a good dude not because of him doing anything different.The fact that it was Tupacs killer all of a sudden it was cool for his culture vulture and snitching ways....That's some some bullsh💩t...
If you said that Vlad has a big ego, or he can be corny at times, I wouldn’t argue with you. But Vlad isn’t a culture vulture. He’s the exact opposite of a culture vulture. He pushes the culture forward as much as anyone else right now. Thats like saying a successful black business man that wears a suit everyday and has a business that caters or is supported by a majority of white people is a culture vulture. The real culture vultures are the suits at these record labels that don’t understand or care for the culture. These guys that don’t listen to the music but try to shape and control it.
Vlad feeds off the drama in the black community. That’s what he looks for. Making his $$$$ off of what the new drama is… but never gives us a closer look at what’s going on in the Jewish community
The issue is that Vlad is from a people that will say in 5 mins that he created Hip-Hop and pretend We, the black people have never ever done anything. Kind of like Israeli Humus!
You'd also have to call Rick Rubin a culture vulture. Ricky was in it from the beginning, along with Russell, and they created masterpieces. Just sayin.
Vultures by definition pray on the weak and dying, so unless hip-hop is dead or almost dead how could anyone be a culture vulture to hip-hop? hip-hop is damn near the top music genre the past 30-40 years at least and hip-hop is only around 50 years old. definitely not dead in my opinion.
Being successful in black culture and inventing certain types of platforms doesn't mean you're not a culture vulture 😅. Two things can be true. The deflection and cluelessness only makes you appear guilty of the accusations of being a culture vulture
Vlad is not a culture vulture! I honestly thinks Vlad actually really cares about hip hop more than most ppl of this culture! There are a lot of artists he has interviewed that I never heard of before vlad interviewed them! He even know about the culture, he shed light on the older statesmen of the culture! Dj Vlad is the culture. Just cause he’s white people want to attack him & call him a culture vulture & vlad is far from that. ~Signing off
First of all NOBODY owns Hip Hop in general. Second, Hip Hop been multi cultural for ages now and without that, sh!t wouldnt be where its at all and also, it would be boring af, if it was only made from the same ppl. Third, most of these ppl who hate on other ppl doing it, havent dont NOTHING for the culture, yet they they wanna act like, as if they own that sh!t. Like Nip said. you cant be ignorant in this sh!t. Hip Hop is for everybody. Even Pac spoke publicly on how he wasnt a rac!st and worked with all kinds of ppl. And fourth, ppl will do what ever the fvck they want anyway. Hip Hop is basically in every country in the world now. And thats beautiful.

3) Invest (research, of course)

Vlad use to brag about not paying people five years ago…
Yep he did. I remember vividly. I always wondered what made him brag about that.
He would say “being on my channel is giving u exposure. I’m not paying u”…. He started payin once he told boosie how big his interview was and boosie said “you need to get me a Christmas gift”…. THEN he started paying his regulars.
@@Wh4L205 He's a member of the tribe
Way deeper than that. It’s more u really don’t understand the culture, then got the nerve to take credit for things that’s been known. Then tell us what we should tolerate and how we should see things. You’ll never know cus our true struggle is not what you have ever experienced
Vlad has furthered hip hop culture and given attention to a lot of people who would've never gotten it. Haters gon' hate
A couple of years ago you were one of those folks. It's only with time people gain perspective.
But you can’t ignore the disregard he has for the culture all in the name of “content”.
@@NoLineNoWait123AbCI'd change that to "appreciation for".
@@valetudo1569 , you can change it on your behalf but you’re not changing what I stated because of how you “feel”. You people are insanely insane. It’s already been acknowledged that he “helps/appreciates” some aspects of the culture but I’m HIGHLIGHTING the aspects where he doesn’t..Keep up so you can fully comprehend and stop trying to be argumentative.
@@NoLineNoWait123AbC Well you can change it on your own behalf as well, because of how *you* "feel". It's also simply your subjective opinion and is as good as my own
SOULJA BOY ABOUT TO BE MAD 😂
I call him Glad.
Lol Vlad switching up now go check out his interview with China Mac where he himself said he is a culture vulture
I kno folks don’t be liking Vlad but most of yall still come here and watch his vidz like the rest of us do. 🤷🏽♂️
Because of the guests. And he had 5 million subs……. But struggles to get 200k a clip.
Vlad created a job, and he's good at it.
Vlad doesnt have a stranglehold on the youtube game, he also does more than just hip hop.
They only seem to call people culture vultures when they’re making a lot of money. and the ones calling people culture vultures are the same one who asked those same culture vultures for help. Make that make sense
Lyor being successful does not exclude him from being a vulture.
Vlad gettin money 🔥
Saying how he put out three 6 mafia as a way to prove he’s not a devil isn’t helpful to your argument 😂
I've never heard any call Steve Rifkin a culture vulture lol.
Because he plays the back. Most people didn't know much of anything about him when Loud was on fire
Wack100 a real HUSTLER he DESPISE VLAD😂 but he doing anything for the Bag
This lets me know that Vlad does not know what a culture vulture is. Being successful while being associated with successfulartists does not exclude you from being a vulture. It is, in fact, indicative of being a vulture.
im assuming you are talking about Lyor Cohen? you do know he gave artists platform before they became famous right? thats literally what Vlad was talking about. he wasn't just "associated" with these artists.
@amanialsoquar4945 Again, what you do assist successful artists does not mean you are not a vulture. Lyor Cohen did what a lot of people in the business do: Find talented black artists, sign them to predatory contracts, and encourage them to promote filth to black audiences and after they've had their fill of profiting off of that artist, they sleep like a baby thinking "I got a family to feed so oh well if I profited from death and degradation"
Word smh
I wonder what Vlad, Cohen, and Rifkin have in common?
I’m so glad that Wack addressed this sht, we need to stop this sht our culture think it’s cool to be openly ignorant
But what's our culture though? Please enlighten me what is this quote culture!!
Vlad grew up as a hip hop fan
But doesn’t talk about hiphop with the guests. It’s about who’s snitching, who got shot, who’s beefing, murder etc etc when the last time he talked about boosie’s music? That WASNT a diss track. Yea exactly. Vlad ain’t been hiphop for a loooooooong time
How does Vlad feel?
💰 He feels like a millionaire.
Right, successful, but still a culture vulture
@@hueyfreeman5509 do you celebrate christmas and eat french & italian cuisines?
@@YujiroHanmaaaa What? Even if I did I don't profit directly from celebrating christmas or eating another cultures cuisine you clown
the lack of memes of the Russian as an actual vulture is disappointing
Anyone calling Steve Rifkin a culture is out of their mind for real. Steve brought so much to hip hop and made mad people rich as fuck
but but but he's white 😁
He's a culture vulture foh... He being nothing to hip hop. The people writing those songs from hardships of growing up in the streets brought hip hop.. all these guy u ,mention did was figure out how to steal their work and make majority of the money onbit
@@easybandzofficial6456 lmao brought nothing to hip hop lmao that's like saying dame dash didn't bring anything to hip hop. He saw talent, signed them, and got out of the way. He did so much for hip hop and stayed out of the spotlight the entire time
Just cause you put out music and profiting off it doesn’t mean your not a cult vulture
Another instance, that triggers that the Kanye trauma quote - "Slavey was choice".
Vlad just said Culture Vulture is like calling him honky. Okay. Listen black folks.
Remember the days when Lord Jamar got vlad to admit he was a culture vulture lol
People are two faced on this situation though because the majority of the people was calling Vlad a culture vulture and a snitch but gave him credit for getting Tupacs killer to confess then praised him and called him a good dude not because of him doing anything different.The fact that it was Tupacs killer all of a sudden it was cool for his culture vulture and snitching ways....That's some some bullsh💩t...
Can someone get a bunch of butter biscuits for this brother.
No vlad you are a culture vulture your making money off of black music don’t take it personal
How is he making money off of black music? lol
@@flyguy7825 I’m just talking sh+t lol I really don’t care
There's a gang of Nigerian rappers who are culture vultures. It has nothing to do with his race.
A culture vulture could be someone like Slim Jesus. How successful was he? Exactly
If you said that Vlad has a big ego, or he can be corny at times, I wouldn’t argue with you. But Vlad isn’t a culture vulture. He’s the exact opposite of a culture vulture. He pushes the culture forward as much as anyone else right now. Thats like saying a successful black business man that wears a suit everyday and has a business that caters or is supported by a majority of white people is a culture vulture. The real culture vultures are the suits at these record labels that don’t understand or care for the culture. These guys that don’t listen to the music but try to shape and control it.
Vlad feeds off the drama in the black community. That’s what he looks for. Making his $$$$ off of what the new drama is… but never gives us a closer look at what’s going on in the Jewish community
Wack was just saying something different couple months ago…..
Vlad is definitely a culture vulture but hes also the most lit interviewer in the game
The issue is that Vlad is from a people that will say in 5 mins that he created Hip-Hop and pretend We, the black people have never ever done anything. Kind of like Israeli Humus!
Why is vlad yelling? He been hanging around black people too long
The last time someone had an original idea was probably in the 30s
A follow-up good question. What do either of you consider a culture vulture
He lining vlad up 😂
Is it me or does Wack sound exactly like Cougnut from IMP?
You'd also have to call Rick Rubin a culture vulture. Ricky was in it from the beginning, along with Russell, and they created masterpieces. Just sayin.
Wack is the definition of a “silver tongued Serpent” manipulation is on another level 😂
Truth hurts
Wack called Vlad worse things 😂
Adam 22 the REAL culture vulture
Rick Ruben helped build Hip Hop 🤫 1:50
People are just jealous of Vlad. People have nothing better to do but hop social media and criticize people for doing what they wish they could do.
False
Everything is a business. Is what it is
I cringe everytime VLAD says “maphucka”
That, the “naam sayin” and the “I don’t maaaan”. HATE how he says man, it’s like “meehh”
VLAD How Did Lyor Get His 1st Position In DefJam? Who Placed Him There?
people who say other people are Culture Vultures are just jealous little people.
If Vlad was black this wouldn't be a topic
That def bothers vlad he cant hide it lmaoo
He means how do feel about when I called you a culture vulture
I never heard anyyyyyonnneee call Steve Rifkind a culture vulture eveeeeeerrrrrr....
He's good at his job that's y he's considered a vulture
No. It’s how all he does is feed off of the drama in the black community
@ch33zybreadtrellie4 victim playing is a cop out. Instead of giving better interviews and stepping their game up they play the race card
Ain’t nobody ever called Rifkind a culture vulture…everybody know Steve was really in the trenches
Vlac should interview himself
People who speak on lyor. Im 32 i wasnt even alive when that man started working in hip hop. Smh. Yall have to atop hating.
Vultures by definition pray on the weak and dying, so unless hip-hop is dead or almost dead how could anyone be a culture vulture to hip-hop? hip-hop is damn near the top music genre the past 30-40 years at least and hip-hop is only around 50 years old. definitely not dead in my opinion.
Platform that's been known to put peeps in jail.
Being successful in black culture and inventing certain types of platforms doesn't mean you're not a culture vulture 😅. Two things can be true. The deflection and cluelessness only makes you appear guilty of the accusations of being a culture vulture
It’s because u profit off the black community but at the same time be talking down on that same community
Vlad is not a culture vulture! I honestly thinks Vlad actually really cares about hip hop more than most ppl of this culture! There are a lot of artists he has interviewed that I never heard of before vlad interviewed them! He even know about the culture, he shed light on the older statesmen of the culture! Dj Vlad is the culture. Just cause he’s white people want to attack him & call him a culture vulture & vlad is far from that. ~Signing off
vlad and adam22 some vultures.
First of all NOBODY owns Hip Hop in general. Second, Hip Hop been multi cultural for ages now and without that, sh!t wouldnt be where its at all and also, it would be boring af, if it was only made from the same ppl. Third, most of these ppl who hate on other ppl doing it, havent dont NOTHING for the culture, yet they they wanna act like, as if they own that sh!t. Like Nip said. you cant be ignorant in this sh!t. Hip Hop is for everybody. Even Pac spoke publicly on how he wasnt a rac!st and worked with all kinds of ppl. And fourth, ppl will do what ever the fvck they want anyway. Hip Hop is basically in every country in the world now. And thats beautiful.
Wack so fake 😂 because he’s called Vlad that too.
