In this clip, Taxstone and Vlad openly discuss their views on the gang affiliations of popular musicians. Both criticize the concept and suggest that such affiliations are often more about creating a certain image, rather than genuine involvement. They discuss the pressures and expectations within these communities, with Taxstone referring to it as “friendly extortion.” They express concern about the cycle of violence perpetuated in these environments, criticizing its glorification in popular culture. They reflect on personal instances where they felt pressured by gang members to align themselves for protection, and Vlad reveals his personal decision to hire professional security instead. The conversation ends with a dialogue about how being pulled into this cycle can lead to dangerous situations, citing examples in the music industry.
