2023-12-07T01:15:21.236Z

In this clip, Vlad reflected on his previous interview with Alonzo Williams where they discussed the significant influence of N.W.A. on the rise of gang culture, with gang activity reportedly escalating at music events after the group's rise to fame. Alonzo noted a change from when gangs focused on community protection to where the gangsta lifestyle and affiliation became profitable and 'cool,' leading to a widespread embrace of gang culture. Vlad and Special Ed questioned the lack of accountability, pointing to N.W.A.'s album 'Straight Outta Compton,' as a major release that increased the group's influence in promoting the 'gangsta' image. Special Ed suggested that the recording labels bore responsibility for supporting and encouraging artists to produce music that had destructive effects on communities. He called for accountability and honesty, arguing that for decades, the music industry was part of a systematic plan encouraging self-destruction within communities.
