  • Bubba Sparxxx came through for his first-ever VladTV interview, and he started off by speaking to Shawn Prez about growing up in rural Georgia and being exposed to hip-hop through a friend and falling in love. He then detailed how he excelled in football and played for a short stint in college before moving to Athens, Georgia, where he started taking music seriously. During the conversation, Bubba explained how he caught the attention of Interscope Records' Jimmy Iovine, which he pointed out came along after Eminem signed with the label. Bubba also detailed working with Timbaland on his huge hit "Ugly," his first album going platinum, and working with Justin Timberlake. From there, Bubba spoke about having a snowmobile accident that left him hospitalized, and Bubba added that it led to an addiction to pain medication. Bubba then detailed his journey to sobriety, which he said led to some setbacks in his music career after the huge success of "Ms. New Booty." To hear more, including Bubba speaking about Eminem dissing him on "G.O.A.T.," hit the full interview above.

    Feels like dude wasn’t even really listening. Asking him questions that he had just given the answers too. Saying hip hop was his first love after he clearly stated football was his first love. He said Paul Walls full name when talking about all that. Bubba is the man

    "Dark Days, Bright Nights" was/is an amazing album. One of my favs of all time! It was one of those albums you could just let it play all the way through. No skipping songs. It stayed in my CD slot in my ride for like 6 months straight. He is truly the Godfather of country rap! All these out here now need to Bow Down 🐐🎤🔥💯

    I’m rooting for him. Thought he was dope and didn’t understand why he just vanished. This def gave insight. He should just continue work on himself and contribute to culture with his work. I truly believe him working with ppl like DJ Premier, Hit-Boy or Alchemist would give him his spark back (no pun intended). Maybe even look to work with ppl like Roc Marciano, 38 Spesh or Griselda. I really believe he has an audience in that lane if he works how he says he needs to.
