Thought y'all would find this interview interesting:




Personally I don't know who I agree with more. I understand where Joe is coming from. shyt comes across mad insensitive.

But as a content creator, I can also understand the need for a content creator to get the content out on a hot topic.


If it wasn't Adam, it would be someone else :yeshrug:


What y'all think?

Adam came with a strong argument-- when rappers pass, their music IMMEDIATELY gets played on the radio all day.

I can't see how this is any different from that... radio stations are also capitalizing off the death of someone. Playing a rapper's music means money for the station, and if that rapper just died, people will have interest in that rapper's music.

I've spoken about this before in one of my videos; it's called the Dead Rapper Effect, a phenomenon that explains that when someone dies, their work becomes exponentially more valuable than it was when they were alive.

The name isn't just for rappers though, as it applies to any artist. For example, Heath Ledger wasn't even that loved until he died, and then his great performance in The Dark Knight happened, and then he blew up posthumously, winning an Academy Award, the first ever awarded for a comic book film.

As quiet as it's kept, I believe Tupac also benefits from this phenomenon to this day. I would have loved to have seen Tupac's artistry viewed through a 2022 lens if he were still alive today. I think it would be interesting...

1. “Dead rappers get better promotion”

2. Literally the whole world promotes whoever famous that died that day for about a week

3. Never understood why mfs blame people like Vlad and Adam for interviewing and promoting beef as if its some "sneaky white devil master plan" and they never mention all the black podcasters like SayCheese, 16Shotem, Art of Dialogue, ZackTV (rip 🕊) etc. that's literally doing the exact same shyt

Every time I have seen this issue raised, it devolves into the old "they're White, so they can't talk about our problems".

Personally, I understand this take, but it does stifle the discussion and makes whoever says it seem like they're talking out of both sides of their mouths.

What kills me is that, as a group, we refuse to hold the net negatives in our community accountable. That's why when Dr. Umar said we need to put certain nikkas to sleep for good, I FELT THAT.
