Vlad's explanation on why its not important to have listened to past music within the genre really roots-out what is driving his position in the debate that he is having with Jamar. Before he expressed his rational, I wrongly assumed he was going to say something like, "Listening to certain music from the past is not a necessary requirement to make music that ppl will like", which is completely fine and valid, however, his logic had to do with the idea that listening to past music will just constrain an artist creatively and that stagnates progress which is ultimately bad.
I found this response to be absurd and obviously unsupported by the history of the genre and music as a whole, which is probably why Vlad couldn't give any hard evidence to back up his claim (I wish Jamar asked him to name names on this point instead of going on a tangent about samples, since the burden on proof was on vlad, not him). Anyway, So then I asked myself, if there is no hard evidence that could lead him to such a stance, why is he making that assertion? I'm left to conclude that his entire position is about his ego.
Vlad wants to be perceived by others as someone who is forward thinking and progressive when it comes to hip-hop because it makes himself feel good and it allows himself to act superior to ppl who have preferences like Lord Jamar. And towards the end of the video you can see that Jamar realizes that's all vlad has behind his argument, which is why he states that he doesn't care how his preferences make him look to the audience who likes Yatchy and etc, because unlike vlad, his preferences are not derived from his self-esteem, its derived from his past life experiences which was the catalyst that developed his music taste over the course of his entire life.
Get this clear. fukk Vlad. fukk the horse he rode in on. and fukk what he stands for. None of those outlets I mentioned would object to Jamar being on their show. There's nothing fake about what I said. Yea he had Lord Jamar on his show cause Lord Jamar's controversial. Dude has an AGENDA. If Lord Jamar didn't have the personality he had. u think fukkin Vlad would keep having him? Open ya eyes fam.
He makes his living off of reflecting the past. shyt is weirdand it's super fukking weird coming from him of all people. A big part of his platform is educating people on previous art with testimonials from those involved so that people can learn. If he truly believed that studying past art is not important, how the fukk does he believe in VladTV? fukking confusing
I can't stand Vlad. He's being more blatant with his ignorance & arrogance about the culture.
