Joe Budden Vs. DJ Vlad: What Is Too Much?
Some audio clips of this interview hit the internet last night, and the first half of the above video was definitely worth a listen.
After watching the whole debate, I want to hear what the illRoots readers find as too much.
VladTV live from the funeral of Ransom is way out of line. Sites like WorldStarHipHop definitly encourage this type of negative behavior, but I understand they are just trying to get their money. It is definitely working on their behalf.
What do ya’ll think? I want to get a good discussion going.

all i can say is wow………ok um………
big ups to Joe Budden…..point makes perfect sense

Fuck that, Ransom is the TRUTH

I mean Joe is kind of hypocritical at the same time…
Sure he apologized for being ignorant in that one video but THAT VIDEO escalated the beef even more…Joe could have filmed that video, reflected and said wow i was ignorant i shouldnt post this…what was Vlad supposed to do just say okay i think we should end it here Ransom, make you look like a pussy and not do anymore videos…?
Fuck no…of course Ransom was going to come back and do another video…I’m not saying it was right for Ransoms boy to smack a dude but still…it was almost an obligation for Vlad to do another video for Ransom
The funeral thing was a little out of line yeah and there wouldnt have been a Vlad TV from the funeral that is just dumb…
For Vlad to call his craft journalism is ridiculous though!! Journalists report real news…bombings in the Gaza strip…terrorist threats…etc
These videos are Entertainment…i mean would you call the WWE wrestlers actors since wrestling is fake…probably not

Vlad is an opportunist. But he is a dick head. He doesn’t want to admit the stuff that he records and broadcasts is bullshit. Its all cool til somebody is dead then dudes hittin the blogs talkin bout R.I.P. such and such…when the week b4 they were saying yeah such and such is lame or whatever. But as long as ppl click the videos he and other ppl like him are gonna keep making them.

Ok I dont usually respond to blogs alot, I just check them out as much as I can but this definately neds to be siad.
First of shout outs to Joe Budden. He wins this argument by a long shot. Fact of the matter is reality is reality and rap is rap. In other words, Vlad definately contributed to the bs between ransom and joe by posting the video of ran and his people coming at joes peoples house. This was real and people could have ended up dieing. You don’t promote escalating beefs between people.That isnt entertainment, thats being careless and promoting potential hazardous situations.
HOWWWWWWEVER
To give Vlad some kind of respect, what do you expect? He’s a journalist. And journalist go through whatever petty bullshit they have to go through to get the story. No matter what. Its thier job. Its like a rapper looking for the perfect beat. What can you do? It sucks but its the truth. I feel like he was doing his job, but he also could have been smarter and just ignored the ignorance…but thats my opinion. Hes a journalist.
Moral of the story is shit happens and web bloggers and sites are going to hype up whatever they can regardless of how serious a situation can become. Its ridiculous but at some point understandable. Joe definately makes a great valid, and well thought out point. Alot of blog sites need to realize things like this need to be avoided at all costs. Shout out to Illroots for making sure they Put out information thats not gonna bring potential harm to anyone.

Ok…from my point of view<, Joe asked a very good question in regards to dudes killing ransom and his daughter and will they be at the funeral. I assume from hearing taht joe and Vlad speak on occasion …Joe Shouldn’t do shit in regards with vlad. i dont know how you people (illroots fans) live ur lifestyle, but i cannot have someone such as Vlad be a friend/homey/whatever. You cannot have people like him in ur life. Vlad =snake.

Ok. Joe Budden has a point he apologize (twice) for what he said and done…
He was very mature in his last response to Ransom.
But honestly recording live at some funeral is no joke. What are you really going to report?
Vlad Tv has interview Joe in the past but the negative nonsense is to recognize there site so they can generate a buzz.
Just like WSHH has been mentioned numerous times by Bill O’Reilly & there disturbing post . I guess Vlad TV wants to sit on that platform as well. Because the most a person can tell these companies is to delete the video…
I personally never heard of Ransom until the beef began but this needs to stop…
Cause if someone gets killed.. Then WHAT???

And furthermore….Dan Rather…Katie Couric and Tom Brokaw are journalists not Vlad.
