Frequent VladTV guest Lord Jamar spoke with Vlad about Lil Yachty’s new album, Yachty’s continuing effort to be a “brand,” and how Jamar reinvigorated his career as an actor post-Brand Nubian. “I was an MC, then I was producing making beats which a lot of people don’t know. Then producing as far as finding a group like Dead Prez. Then I did the acting s**t. Then I did the voiceover s**t for ESPN. Now I’m managing Aaron Cooks,” Jamar says, “You have to be ready to reinvent yourself, and you have to have a spirit of ‘I’ll never give up.'”

Hearing Lord Jamar speak….gave me an instant flashback to the Brand Nubian track "Don't Let It Go To Your Head". Every single word of his verse spoke about that type of person Yachty is.
"One Single Don't Make You The Shit". "Don't fall into the pit..of callin it what it's really not / This is just one single you got that's really hot" [ that part does NOT apply to Yachty, for obvious reasons ]
This Yachts shit is exactly why I been tryin to keep the knowledge of Rap passing on to every rapper I see. Young Ppl gonna end up givin these dudes praise for bullshittin with bars and having ( undebatable ) weak production on the beats.
I wonder if Jamar gets bread from these interviews, or is he just here for exposure. Im sure this exposure got him his acting gig on The Night Of
Today age once you're rap is over you can still go on Love and Hip-Hop or some other reality tv show. It's not like the 90's when you're rap career is over it's over.
That's the deepest shit I've heard…."You're entertained by your level of education."
i like Lord Jamar but i only know him from vlad interviews & never have heard his music
Stop it. His fans don't buy albums they listen for free and save the money to go to his shows
First minute funny ass hell lol.
Lmfaooo yo really don't like lil yatchy
say it Vlad! LMAO
Mumble rap when it's said and done will be looked at like disco. It's made for people on dope and pills, it's had some catchy hits, but most people will celebrate when it's over, and it will leave a new generation of dope fiends!
This shit was hilarious
You lost my boy Charlemagne
Kool g had a great point, the mass can only be entertained by their level of intellect
smh vlad never gets to the point
Jamar is the funniest nigga ever ?
The Realist album of all time Dead Prez Let's Get Free
JOE BUDDEN AND LORD JAMAR NEED TO COLLABORATE WTF
Not a Jamar fan, but am behind him 100% on this. The only people buying Yachty's "music" are 12-18 yr. old millennials – aka the most worthless generation in history. Nothing to be proud of. And your lack of longevity will prove that. All that Uzi/21/Migos/Kodak/Pump – it's all gonna be dead – just not soon enough.
Mumble rap like everyone is saying needs its own category. all these rock star quoates along with lean and drugs got the youth confused lol. dying they hair with rock star skinny jeans and ny fitted ?
Y'all wild, Budden and Lord Jamar are essentially the same nigga, they wouldn't get alone
who TF
another good one Vlad keep it up.
the new music is wack but lord jamar is a hating ass muthafucka fr.
Anybody notice how vlad listened to lord jamar shit on yachty then turn the tables on him ?
who TF buy cd's? trapping out the bandwidth!
Your best interviews: tax stone, lord jamar and tk Kirkland. Good shit
The question is: How Young Thug sell less than Lil Yachty?
"Play w/the pussy lk peek-a-boo"–Wtf does that even mean? Only retards r entertained by retarded music, this is true. Rap & hip hop been dying, intellect & common sense too.
