How did publications like Complex and Noisey get so much clout?

You know what I always found funny about that?
You know damn well if it was a nerdy black guy half them nikkas would not be as comfortable cooking crack and showing guns around them cameras.

But a cac comes around and they more than willing to incriminate themselves :francis:

But I don't think Noisey deserves the clout Vice does.

Vice really be out there reporting on shyt and letting you see things that might never be told.

Noisey just tryna profit off the culture

Noisey is a Vice production, and they were getting a lot of views on Youtube. Folks started to realize that these views are another way to give yourself exposure, so they start allowing these hipster nikkas to come and interview them.

Now, everyone know Vice and gonna participate if asked.
