The Top 5 Reasons Why Vlad TV Will Remain a Mainstay in the Hip Hop Genre

Over the years, DJ Vlad has courted hullabaloo for his pressing questions. The interviewer has also garnered billions of views, and over five million subscribers to his channel on YouTube. This might be the reason for all the fuss. Everyone from legendary rappers, to mafia figures, to adult film actresses, to fallen politicians, has helped Vlad harness the powers of the Web in his favor.

Here are the Top 5 Reasons VladTV Will Always be a Mainstay in the Genre of Hip Hop.

5. He knows how to Press the Right Buttons

In his line of questioning, he uses the classic journalistic inverted pyramid to interview his guests. He draws out the most engrossing, click and tap-worthy, juicy details. Recently, he asked disgraced Wall Street “Wolf '' Jordan Belfort about what he felt about going to prison. Belfort became belligerent. He almost stormed off from the sit-down situation. Instead, Vlad just cooly allowed his interviewee to vent and get off his four letter words, knowing that this was great material.

4. Vlad Brings humor and Lightness Amid the Dark

The latest interview on his channel is with an animated version of Batman. Vlad queries why the Dark Knight is so infatuated with working with underaged help (Robin, Batgirl). The cartoon interview hilariously goes way left, and Vlad is suddenly without a way to ask his next few questions. These moments allow for a brighter side of a man who interviews certified murderers almost regularly.

3. Vlad Knows What He’s Doing

You don’t get to five million subscribers on YouTube without understanding the formula and dynamics of the Web. Vlad takes his time to figure out analytics not for the viewer, but to them. The glory is all for himself and his compatriots.

To take all the algorithms and put them in his wheelhouse shows how the DJ knows what to do on his platform.

2. The People are Willing to Sit Down and Tell on Themselves and Others

The age of snitching is at an all-time high thanks to outlets like Vlad. The amount of murders that have been solved, or have been prevented due to his couch of confession and his chair of ratting, has been elevated to heights of grandeur. Philosopher Troi “Star” Torain honorably labels Vlad “The Great Exploiter.” He is able to coax information out of people by his relaxed tone and upbeat demeanor. It is because of his powers as an interviewer of a certain caliber that he is able to rake in the dollars.

1. Vlad Represents for the Hip Hop Artists that Time and Fans May Have Forgotten or not Known Too Much About

While the term “old school” is relegated for an indeterminate amount time between artists in the hip hop arena, Vlad lifts up the rap stars from the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s to introduce to some and present to others folks like Too Short, Brother Marquis, E-40, and a whole host of other stars that time has slightly forgotten.

Vlad brings together these various talents to create a way for them to speak their minds and jog memories or craft new ones for Generation Z. This tightrope walk of staying current while also looking rearward has allowed Vlad to weather the storm of people like rapper Lord Jamar and comedian Godfrey who have banned sitting down for interviews.

As the DJ shrugs off these individuals, he focuses on building his Internet empire to be inclusive, cohesive, and fun. By studying how trends move and what animates the genre, Vlad has brought about a bevy of unforgettable moments and powerful talks. Bravo.
