--------
DJ Vlad starts this clip off by talking about Drakeo The Ruler's untimely murder backstage at his own concert and the role that he played in the tragic occurrence along with the assailants. In response, Mob James indicates that rappers have to be more mindful of the things that they say about one another in the public eye. This prompts DJ Vlad to take an emotional trip down memory lane where he mentions a plethora of rappers who he's interviewed that have since passed away such as Fbg Duck, Jaydayoungan. From there, the two men engage in a thought provoking discussion about the perception of power and how it contributes to violence in the African American community. This leads to talk about Larry Hoover legal predicament behind bars.

To me some of the things that power is when you are able to affect other people's lives for the bad or for the better, when you can affect your city & state, your community or neighborhood, politics, schooling or education, employment, housing. Black people we need power by us living in 4-12 cities & states of our own separated from Caucasians/white people & other darker people where we can govern ourselves. Giving Black people 4-12 cities & states of our own should be apart of our reparation package which also should include land & money.

Street cred is power if that is the environment you exist in. People often go by the definitions of power in their own surroundings. For some people love is power. For some people fear is power. Ultimately it’s about respect and influence and how different people pursue and obtain it. People in the corporate world want respect and influence also in their environment. People in government, same thing.

Power is impact/affect/change period. Anyone at anytime with capability and motivation can exert that on to someone regardless of their status/level of power. Saying someone doesn't have real power is oxymoronic when that someone can change your life with a relentless or passionate motive and a weapon. Proof: Shitty Cuz - Nipsey Hussle Orlando Anderson - Tupac John Wilkes Booth - Abraham Lincoln There's Dynamics of Power Just like the game Paper, Rock and Scissor.

The Taliban is basically a gang and they run a entire country now.... And defeated a superpower military within 20 years... That's POWER. These good gangsters don't fight for anything really. ... Houses u don't own.... Cars, jewllwery u know little material things. If that means the world to u then no wonder entire generations of black folk are LOST. I think Malcolm X was correct when he said what black people need more than anything else is EDUCATION and let them govern themselves... Once they actually run their own affairs they will make mistakes but fix up in time. Its the only way.
