--------
Jeweler and entrepreneur Ben Baller recently opened up on Vlad TV about his tumultuous childhood and family background, including a harrowing arrest experience. Born to immigrant parents-his father from North and his mother from South Korea-Baller's family history is marked by the turbulence of the Korean War. His father’s efforts to reunify North and South Korea led to frequent visits to the North, despite his parents' divorce and subsequent challenges.
Baller grew up in Koreatown, Los Angeles, and found himself in serious trouble at just nine years old. After being caught stealing from a Sears in Cerritos, he was arrested. Recounting the event, Baller described how a sheriff slammed his head against a jail wall. Later in the clip, Ben Baller talked about his background as a breakdancer and how he immersed himself in early Hip-Hop culture.
You couldn’t acknowledge him saying that he lost his dad 1-2 months ago?
Surprising, usually Vlad jumps on that with a “I just lost my dad awhile ago it’s very hard”
He did give a quiet “mmm…” 😂
Them hot wheels race tracks were lethal back in the day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

my homies who worked at the Sears in Cerritos in the early 2000’s used to steal from there all the time 😂😂
they knew it was about to end lol Sears down to 11 stores from what was once 3500 stores
Embarrassing
Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are
@@NoneofYabiz-rx3zipause
Ben Baller did the chain. Tourneau for the watch. Presi Plain Jane.
Vomit
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi 😂😂😂
Yamborghini chain rest in peace to my superior
Is that a Asap Ferg reference?
@@Mo1683 no it’s a princess diana reference. You’re welcome
Can yall imagine vlad break dancing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
also tf is he talking about “with both your hands on your crotch” 😂 I think he forgot what it is
@@joojoobawpause
With a eightball of coke in his pocket for sale. That flare made him drop the coke in the ground. His coke selling career over.
For those of you who don’t know Ben
He’s been in the industry for years now and he was actually Anr in one of dr Dre’s label back in the 90s
He lived in the same apt building as pac
This man was a dj actaully when it was the actual spin records still
He came up when he sold his sneaker collection and made a lil over a million I believe and that’s how he came up as far as the Money part
But why’s he s’posed to be “important” to Hip Hop? What does he actually do?
@@Mo1683he makes business moves. What you do??? Him and dj am started the resale shoe game. Shoe culture. Jewelry culture. What more do you want from him??
@@MK-zz5qe I’m jexistin’. So in a nutshell, him & DJ AM are just glorified..vintage, thrift merchers, who resale used..footwear & fugazi jewelry?
@@Mo1683 you hating on the jewelry just shows youre a hater. He is more on the quality side thats why hes expensive. He literally can be a west coast hip hop historian. The end part of the clip is straight hip hop history. Wtf you on???
@@MK-zz5qe 👍🏾Sure, so when you say “West Coast, Hip Hop..”Historian”, he basically regurgitates what we literally all know, w/a lil’ Korean revisionist twist, for inclusionary purposes?
Security guard doing side missions is crazy
Dude probably made everyone favorite rapper a chain
Wasnt expecting to see ben on here should be a good interview !!
😄Yo he corrected him w/the quickness on that Korean/Japanese restaurant
So what?
because korea used to be a colony of japan that’s why. a lot of history between the two countries.
@@SoloDolo01exactly
@@MyName-yl2ncexactly huh?
@@SoloDolo01Wait, is that actually true?
People aren’t used to seeing Asian people in the mix. So inspiring for many
Vlad said the ONLY thing he couldn't do was "windmill". Imma go out on a limb and say it was A LOT of other 💩 he couldn't do either 🤣 Who TF believes Vlad could do EVERYTHING in break dancing except for a windmill but nobody has vouched for his abilities but him
Ben baller and Scarface make me wanna golf ⛳
lol the subliminal golf advertisement on his T-shirt got ya good
@@joojoobaw just knowing that they golf ⛳ does it
He's a legend
Ohhhh shit!!! Ben Baller! Finally!
Vlad didn’t even give Ben his condolences for losing his father. Unless I’m missing something… Sorry For Your Loss Ben ! RIP Baller Sr
Jeez maybe Ben told him not to mention it before.
@@Miss.TJ516 you must not watch Flad a lot because every single person on here that’s ever mentioned losing somebody. He makes a point to give us a condolences.
Bro is 51 going on 40
And he still a one upper
@@nunya4732 fact 🤣🤣🤣
Naw he looks 51 kung fu master. He dyes his grey beard.
“At 9 years old, I was so fucking advanced that I took a bus and stole from stores”
Ben baller way more then a jeweler dude been in the music game behind the scenes forever
C'mon now Vlad, you know the average VladTV fan got a 10 minute attention span
What’s your point?
Thank God I'm not the average, I fuck with the longer videos
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi point is, posting longer clips sabotages the views because less people will click or give it full runtime. Usually when they do it, it’s because they didn’t expect many people to watch anyway so they’re trying to knock this interview out the way for something better.
…or it’s just a very long interview lol
@@joojoobaw oh. Thanks JJB. FYI I owned you on that other thread. HIP HOP MUSIC IS WACK AF!!!!
@@joojoobaware you a bot lol 😂 Godammm lol
Vlad assumed because Ben was Korean the restaurant he seen him at was a Korean restaurant 🫣
Finally. Ben Baller!!!!!
Ben has stories man!
Vlad has a knack of laughing at real life struggles he has not necessarily experienced. Your struggles is always hard until you hear the next man’s life story, try not look at it from your lens and experience but rather from the these guys who have lived through it and hopefully learn something.
I don’t see a big problem with reflexively laughing at the absurdity of somebody’s story. The absurd makes up about half of what humor is derived from. It’s only a problem if the person is offended by it, then you apologize for laughing.
Do any of y’all know who Ben Baller is?
Yes
Nope
@@SupeDupeTV So why’s he important?
@@tylerraisl3939 🙏🏾Appreciate ya’ honesty
@@Mo1683he was one of the early jewelers that was cool with everybody and vlogged his journeys..it’s hard to explain I think he had a web show or tv show it’s on RUclips he made Tyler the creators chain and Mac millers chain
Vlad always bringing up his break dancing. I need to see some evidence
Bro tells the most mismatched ass stories.
What a great story about what it’s like to shoplift and not be black
Vlad and Ben Baller - The two biggest name droppers in the game.
Cuh out here looking old AF 😂
actually he looks young for 51.
@@ExtendedReleaseyea he do. Buddy hatin hard on this dude
@@bluu_ice6554Asian hate is real
Mfer discovered skydiving and now he think he a young blood doing young blood things callin people old 🤦
@@calvinj5639 what does me skydiving have to do with anything? Also I've been a dozen times since then... Weirdo
900 in 1982 is like 2900 today. 58000 in 1982 is like 180,000 today with inflation..which is insane when u think about the wealth inequality today
Vlad didn't try to tell a story of his shopilifting days when he was young. 😂
His ride home looked just like the Parents Just Don’t Understand video.
Finally you got Ben baller on here glad
They're touching on pure hip essence here 🙌 I was "Kid Flex" back then, and I had a wicked windmill 💯😂 If you weren't alive back then, then you're not of hip hop culture. You're merely a rap music fan...HUGE difference ‼️💯
What was Vlad talking about “with both your hands on your crotch” when he was talking about a thomas flare? 😂
I was surprised how fast he pulled that Twilight 22 reference tho, he definitely know his stuff to some extent
@joojoobaw Yeah, I rock with Vlad, but his memory/knowledge is disjointed at times 💯😄
@joojoobaw Yeah, I don't know who this guy is, so I hadn't a clue as to how old he was until he began talking about what the atmosphere was like when hip hop was alive here in the states, dropping one reference after another. I looked him up...he was born 3 years after me, so he's definitely credible 👍
"breakdance" kids do not call it breakdancing....we call it Breakin.
Shout out Ben Baller
I first heard about Ben Baller when he was on Combat Jack. Great interview and he has an interesting story. Looking forward to this.
This wasnt a laughing type story vee lad
Why he look all Ozempic'd out now??? Creepyyyyy!!!!
You guys are so weird some people lose weight naturally.
Story sounds like Cap-aroni 😂
I use to think the same bur everytime he tells one, it never gets debunked and actually gets valid. Dude just is the Asian version of the Dos Equis man.... I only have a handful of stories that sound made up but are actual real, he has a full catalog 😅
Such a great storyteller. Long overdue
Vlad let someone talk without interruption! Ben baller a lucky man! Proud of you Vlad! 🙌🏽
Because it’s the beginning of his life story, and what’s Vlad gonna have to say interrupt that with lol
Ben “I can’t stop talking” Baller
Seriously… why can’t he just sit there and say nothing during an interview? Ugh
Thank you! What exactly is the point of him being interviewed?
Ben Baller is the west coast Jacob the jeweler
They both scammers
I was like 10-12 taking the bus with my friends from Long Beach to Cerritos mall all the time.
My grandparents are originally from north korea. I still have family there. Sad that they couldn't see a reunification. 😮💨
Can’t wait for the part of the interview when Ben starts lying about his golf game lol
i hate ben baller
Not Coleco Vision. Wow
This is not your practice life!!
This is gonna be a good interview…
Been waiting on a real interview from him.
lol $900 in 1982 is not even close to “$15,000 today” 😂 it’s not even quite 3k
Growing up in LA at those times those long RTD buss rides were an adventure....great times, dangerous as hell tho😂
ben baller dad was an agent damnn
Niketalk early years
10 minutes on this story?
Surprised Vlad didn’t interrupt
life story interview, at the very beginning… enough said
Yeah that mall story made me sign off after part 1
That Cap a roni 😂
Bro look 30
Vlad on a hot streak right now
I’m had checker board Phat laces in my Pumas and Shell toes.
Anybody who's listens to k-pop should be excused
Is that the same K Rock from NYC? They had a station like that in NYC too! I miss that station! But they played alternative if I’m not mistaken in the 90s!
Ice T is that dude. Peace.
I am also very intrigued by religion. Actually, one of my favorite subjects because such spiritual knowledge is quite enlightening. For this reason, I highly recommend that the masses of society study this particular topic in hopes of achieving this sense of eternal salvation.
vlad "me 2!..me 2!" 🙄🙄🙄
Always head the name this is dope
He look like a young Mr. Miyagi
0:24 doing it????
Tariq Nasheed??
I kinda think Ben baller is an asshole but idk I'll always respect the fact that he had his shop at the slauson originally , we'll after he definitely didn't need too.
Ben baller no Johnny dang
Boring ass shoplifting story
Oh god. What trauma he had to go through. ROFL.
On my cellphone right now I have a photo of Kim Jun il spelling "Blood's" with his fingers can't tell if it's photoshopped but it looks real I think the great Leader of North Korea will snatch the title of cleanest fade haircut from Lil Boosie hands down
Nawll I Dont 💙🖤💙🖤
Same song and dance
RADIO TRON Was not started by carmelo. Even he knows the truth and will admit it. IT was called RATIOTRON and was started and owned by my gee ALEX JORDINOV. THE MC was ICE T . they changed the name for the movie BREAKIN becasue they didnt want to pay alex.
Can’t stand this dude
Same here. He is cocky and arrogant and a little too conceited. He toots his own horn a little too much !
@@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday
definitely a habitual horn-tooter
@@joojoobaw he’s been around and knows some people but he isn’t a hip-hop “pioneer” or anything like that. He had his chances I think but he chose more of the celebrity life instead of the actual old school hip-hop lifestyle. He’s paid his dues tho and came a long way, I’ll give him that. But he’s the type of person who only cares about himself and being an opportunist
@@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday lol you know you are 100% a horn tooter yourself. 😂
@@joojoobawLOL, habitual horn tooter.
Tf is this?? 😅
Shout out to Fresno! 559!
What does a “Washed Lord” mean?
Lmao delete this
@@MiguelRDT or you could just explain it to them in the same time it took you to write that
@@joojoobawThank you!🤨 Simple question
Mr me too 😐
This guy is almost as annoying as Tony Yayo. Almost.
🙄
@@jaye5926 cat got your tongue?
DUDE always makes it seem like he has the most exclusive everything from stories to jewelry cars etc he a low key hater in my opinion
I’m tryin’ to see if any Koreans are gonna explain why he’s worth being interviewed? What’re we s’posed to gain by watching the next clips of him?
Wonder if Bambata tried to touch him
Shout out to FRESNO
The real reason vlad interviewing dude is cos he the only Asian in history to be able to grow facial hair
🤔Is “Koreatown” a literal city inside of Los Angeles County?
It’s a neighborhood
There’s neighborhoods like that in every city in America ..japantown China town etc.
Koreatown can get grimey
It's almost echo park
Koreatown is a neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles. Cerritos is a completely different city in Los Angeles county.
Why is this mr miagi getting interviewed
1st
Hell to the no
🤔So can any Koreans explain what does he actually & literally do in Hip Hop?
Tommy chong aint foolin nobody
Whats the appeal in this interview? An interview with some rich jeweler and his tales of being rich and giving rappers Jewlery? Who tf asked for this?
The biggest poser and wanabee of course is on vlad tv
Talking about a robbery story from 82' is the most pathetic thing I've seen all week. Ben Faller.
