immortal technique is like this...they all bounce of each other.. but this guy is british so his level of dialogue is much better and his abilty to convey his thoughts intellectually superceeds that of americans of the sam background. you would have to get a obama type american negro to speak on his level. not lord jama...
Well I guess his TV was in black and white and the only person of hue he ever heard about was Pele.....CONFUSION,And what there media pushes to them,a. lot of those people do not wake. up until they reach a foreign that's when they get the big wake up call...
He does that because he has no input and can't think of nothing to say and the fact that there's a intelligent black man infront of him hus whiteness takes over n the rudeness comes out
+Keyser Soeze Are we gonna have to start basing it on percentiles of race? Like what percentage of black do you have to be to be considered black? What if you're mother is 1 FOURTH white? Seriously, shit is ridiculous. I find that the whole "So and so isn't even black" thing when somebody is mixed, usually comes down to whether you like the person or agree with them.
Most London accents are nice. Liverpool accents are disgusting, Brum accents are the worst (no offence to the 0121 but I don't even like my own tbf), Geordie accents are not terrible but they have like their own language sometimes, most north west accents are similar and pretty chavvy and scruffy but growing up hearing that shit day to day I'm used to it, I'd just rather sound like an Eastender that accent is smooth and cool as fuck
man Liverpool accent is not disgusting at all. all the accents you are dissing kept their uniqueness over the years. we don't have to speak with a southern softie accent. that southern softie accent is just minging. and that is coming from an half manc/half french😑😐.
Not disgusting to you but to the majority of the world it is. All I'm saying is it doesn't sound nice to my ears and I prefer the way Danny Dyer speaks than how Aystar speaks.
What Akala is saying about more blacks slaves originating from the Caribbean is right. A lot of the Caribbean islands were former British colonies during the british empire (hence the commonwealth). So Akala is right again. For those who don't know who Akala is, he's the brother of British artist called Ms Dynamite.
I have to say there are few men I want to hear what they have to say and Akala is one of them. I am a old white man and do not have a clue who this man is but he has my attention now.He is a beautiful man to hear. I went and bought 10 Years Grindin [Explicit] just to find out more about him. I have to also say I love this channel, thank you Mr. Lyubovny, with this you have allowed me to find an hear men like Marc Lamont Hill, Dr. Johnson, Charlamagne ,Dr.Watkins and Freeway Ricky.
Damn, Akala... you schoolin' brothers on insightful shit. Vlad, you better have him on a segment every week. Vladtv might become a channel with depth if you keep it up.
Shut yo ass up you no havin ass RUclips subscribers your an internet fuckin BUSTER and dats all u Eva goin be, now if ye don't mind I'm goin out to fuckin get get CRUNK...,.. Enjoy ur XBOX Bitch
+God is Black Why do yall hate being part african and believe in retarded psuedo science bullshit of how native americans are actually black but are not, why do yall steal other peoples culture instead of embracing "africaness? Also native americans are actually mongoloid meaning they're actually asian and come from siberia, thats why you see asian traits on native americans like their eyes and straight long hair.
i clicked on this video cuz my homepage aint poppin, said let me watch this Akala dude since he keeps poppin up in my suggestions... Pleasantly surprised! Such an intriguing mind...
Pro-black? You mean he appreciates his heritage, both sides, he proudly claimed his Scottish roots as well as his Jamaican. You heard what you wanted to hear, because you are ignorant, just like the interviewer was to slavery, and the truth that the US was a tiny fraction of the slave trade, yet is the only place that still cries about it.
He is pro-black! I clearly identifies with being black more than white just like my homeboy Colin Kaepernick! Your just pissed because blacks are waking up and trust me we will become unified very soon. The police are going to make us stronger and more of a threat.
He might be 'pro black' but understand that a lot of his fans/audience is white and also 'pro black'. You don't need to be black to be pro black and pro black also doesn't mean anti-white.
It's not the police you have to worry about, since 91% of black men murdered in the states are murdered by other blacks. Idiots like you and your black supremacy make me laugh.
Cam0 see smh looka dis fool here. Got the nerve to come on a blac culture channel (like I am not blac and lived in this skin) but talk about "blac on blac" violence whatever that is. But why is he not talkin about "white on white" violence? Or even worse the chattel slavery murder rape genocide and atrocities of white on blac violence for the 400 years it happened? Why are these people not speakin about that? If you are white you have no right to talk to anyone about murder as you peoples whole premises is based on murder. That's how you have everything now. Whatever "blac on blac" violence is it will never match you demonic bluefoots historical crime rate and what you have done throughout history. YOU ARE BORN MURDERERS! comin up on blac people tings talkin foolishness but bet I won't ever catch you on a Klan page talking shit. GET DA FUC OUTTA HERE. U don't belong here. Last but not least did anyone see what happened in France this summer? NOOOO blac people were involved whatsoever but just research the events. These people ruined the south of France in a single day but guess what color the people were who had to clean up the mess after they fled bac to there countries? Man can't tek dese people serious man kmt bloodfire #nomorepasses
Absolutely brilliant! I wish we had more brothers in the limelight that were as educated, confident, and articulate as Akala! Imagine if we all elevated ourselves to this level of awareness how progressive we could be as a society.
I knew this already. He's spot on and I'm happy to be Haitian/American man because we don't fuck around at all. I wish my black brethren in America would fight back like my Haitian Ancestors did,because being black is to be royalty.
A lot of people hate on Vlad but got to respect him because he gave a man like Akala a chance to school a lot of people. It won't surprise me if a lot of people won't listen to these kind of interviews and rather listen to Vlad TV interview with mozzy and Daylit... Akala is a wise man and i like to see him in a long interview with David Banner. I'm a dutch, excuse me for my mistakes that i made typing ;-)
Wow I agree with this brother a lot. Hip hop is a modern minstrel. As a huge fan of hip hop I am really rethinking what kind of music I listen to because of this brother’s thoughtful discussion. Thanks!
Trufh Boof They are, but it shouldn't mean they can't have the same creative freedoms, who knows, some white boy could release the realiest rap album of the decade but he would be held back if rap had that ideology Hip-hop was born out of fighting oppression, not to start it There is a video of Jamar saying that shit, just google it
1st salute to Vlad for getting this interview right! WE NEED MORE OF THESE!!! 2nd Akala thank you for so eloquently explaining the African American plight. Wise beyond your years brother. Peace!
Good to see Akala still doing his thing and educating his audience as much as he can. I saw him do a talk and performance in Mcr UK few yrs back and he's still getting better and better at dropping the real talk. May this interview get all of us thinking more about what we say and do and the roots of it all.
Good job Vlad!! Glad you finally got someone like Akala on your platform. I’m from the UK, we love and honour Akala for his high intelligence and Pan-Africanism. I’m happy you brought him on to to teach and speak truth. People who are interested should also get his book Natives: race & class in the ruins of Empire.
Vlad responding with a simple and short "sure" after Akala just told him about the History of his country is astonishing, it's like it didn't even affect his day.
They say the way you can tell a truly intelligent person is being able to take an complex part of information and breaking it down for children to understand… this man is that
Not saying I disagree because I have huge amounts of respect for Akala... but why does no one care about big pun, fat Joe and joell ortiz saying the word nigga?
Makeveli The Don that's utter bullshit. Most latinos are mestizo, and it depends also on the country, Argentina is almost all white and bolivia is majority native
most ppl from p.r, d.r, cuba, central america, parts of mexico, venezuela,colombia,peru,ecuador, and brazil are all mixed with white,black, and native american.
gives the same vibe as the Tupac vibe interview. There is just so much either tension or information in everyword they speak. Akala might be that spark that Tupac was talking about.
I can't stand listening to British rap/hip hop but I quite like listening to this guy talk. He's actually quite intelligent and pretty well read. I think he's a good role model for all races.
he does he has book and visits schools and universitys and has his own company that teaches all the things schools and the media and the government wont talk about.
Dude this interview literally turned me on lol I'm an African American studies minor and hearing him speak is AMAZING! I actually thought it was funny that Akala knows so much more about African American history than Vlad does. Vlad put some more people like this wonderful man out! We need to continue to educate our people!
African Americans need to travel to other continents - non white countries. Where I grew up we would treat the black guy in our school better than each other, non of the prejudice and stereotypes exist
The Western US was also under Mexico's control prior to 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Part of what lead to the Mexican american war was Mexico's resistance against america's slavery. However, slavery was still present and vicious under spanish rule. Native peoples were forced by the spanish to build the California missions. Junipero serra is supposedly a "saint", but in reality, he's just another slave master.
Keep the akala interviews coming vlad this guy needs more recognition the world needs more akala. - Also hes rapping ability is far higher than most of your favourite rappers(Trust me) ...LISTEN TO, Akala - fire in the booth part 1
Vlad the title is super misleading. Akala does not say this. He is answering in the voice of the youth he would ask that question to. Akala has spoken many times on racism and what it means when an oppressed group has a racial prejudice against their oppressors. Not the same thing as racism. CHANGE THE TITLE VLAD YOU ARE REALLY PAINTING A DIFFERENT IMAGE OF AKALA WITH THAT. SERIOUSLY, NOT COOL VLAD. plz upvote this and get this to his attention this is a serious misrepresentation of Akala
Akala speaks like Malcolm, just holds your attention with pure intelligence
I pray everytime he speaks the outcome isnt the same✊🏾
Early Malcolm or late Malcolm? Early X was just Elijah's puppet.
Akala is way too smart for vlad's usual audience LOL.
Trust 😂😂
Way too smart for vlad too. Fuck Vlad.
correct. this guy is what KRS-One wishes he was
exactly! KRS and Lord Jamar....I wish his music was popular
+Pragmatic1 Ultramagnetic what the fuck you doing on vlads channel if you can't stand the man. Some ppl make me laugh man.😉
damn...I learnt more from these Akala videos than school told me about black history.
Sadness about the madness that is this truth
Damn you never picked up a book
I said more than school taught me, not what I learnt independently.
Damn I was just saying the same thing!! I learned something 😎
If You expect white people to teach you about your struggle then ur living in La La land.wake up black people
its a shame this video wont reach the number of people it needs to.
My son Mugen in the cut?
Hunter RIP no my nigga i was being genuine. everyone in america and beyond should listen to this but less then 0.0001% will. thats all i meant
It this video went completely viral and got 500 million views you'd have people saying how he's wrong about this and that. Ect Ect
Jennai Shirow j
Word!
Vlad Getting schooled on American history by a Brit. We need to get it together Ameri'ca. Kudos to Akala.
Crazy a dude from the UK schooling Vlad about American history bahaha
stop lying, we know more than you.
It's called an interview. The subject does the talking and the interviewer listens excepts to ask questions. That's not "schooling" anyone.
Some of his replies to what Akala was saying clearly shows his ignorance on the issue.
hahaha. .. I know it's Amazing
watch Akalas Fire In The Booth Part 1. It will blow you away.
The educated , eloquent ,intelligent and articulate rapper there has ever been!
most*
I love any artist who took the time to learn their history, so funny to hear the schooling taking progress.
It's just the british accent. That shit makes anyone sound more articulate
JessikahAznBabyy LOL So the context and knowledge means nothing ? smh even without the english accent he will still be talking pure FACTS!
Get the fuck outta here. I'm about to put you up on game home boy. Go look up Tupac, KRS-1, Chuck D, Lupe, Common and more. You welcome!
smart dude never heard of him i wish the us currently had more rappers like this
well you have Akala
+Casanova Frankenstein here watch wretch 32 fire in the booth. Out this world mate. Best fitb so far pal.
immortal technique is like this...they all bounce of each other.. but this guy is british so his level of dialogue is much better and his abilty to convey his thoughts intellectually superceeds that of americans of the sam background. you would have to get a obama type american negro to speak on his level. not lord jama...
listen to his fire in the booth
We used to have many rappers like this until the genre was manipulated to eventually become what it is now.
Vlad, Brazil has the largest concentration and population of people of African descent outside of Africa, in the World. This is common knowledge.
droppin knowledge and you know about Baki!
Yes, I thought that was common knowledge as well. Some people are just dumb I suppose.
This is true. Can you believe a white Brazilian tried to argue with me that Brazil was an all white country :-/
Well I guess his TV was in black and white and the only person of hue he ever heard about was Pele.....CONFUSION,And what there media pushes to them,a. lot of those people do not wake. up until they reach a foreign that's when they get the big wake up call...
Gaines Don actually Brazil is over 90 million. Stop the nonsense. The Portuguese were shipping slaves to Brazil 100 years before the Americans/British
Am I the only one who cringes a little bit when Vlad replies "okay", "sure", after someone says some real shit lol
he has to move onto the next topic. It's a signal
I be like damn this man got no manners smh
He does that because he has no input and can't think of nothing to say and the fact that there's a intelligent black man infront of him hus whiteness takes over n the rudeness comes out
It's a format. Although he puts shit out in long form podcasts, the interviews are formatted to be cut into short pieces by subject.
+Keyser Soeze Are we gonna have to start basing it on percentiles of race? Like what percentage of black do you have to be to be considered black? What if you're mother is 1 FOURTH white? Seriously, shit is ridiculous. I find that the whole "So and so isn't even black" thing when somebody is mixed, usually comes down to whether you like the person or agree with them.
"hip hop can challenge the dominant power or reinforce it"
I don't get that
Akala knows his stuff. He's a very intelligent man! He's dropped some serious knowledge on these videos.
Listen to some of his other interviews hes got some hour long interviews.
You guys do know that he is a professor at oxford right?
The British accent has a uniqueness to it I can hear brits talk all day I think it's the best accent
YEH TRY LISTENING TO THEM SCINCE BIRTH, DIFFERENT STORY, IM FROM Dublin Ireland... D22.....
Most London accents are nice. Liverpool accents are disgusting, Brum accents are the worst (no offence to the 0121 but I don't even like my own tbf), Geordie accents are not terrible but they have like their own language sometimes, most north west accents are similar and pretty chavvy and scruffy but growing up hearing that shit day to day I'm used to it, I'd just rather sound like an Eastender that accent is smooth and cool as fuck
Deez nuts have a british accent
man Liverpool accent is not disgusting at all. all the accents you are dissing kept their uniqueness over the years. we don't have to speak with a southern softie accent. that southern softie accent is just minging. and that is coming from an half manc/half french😑😐.
Not disgusting to you but to the majority of the world it is. All I'm saying is it doesn't sound nice to my ears and I prefer the way Danny Dyer speaks than how Aystar speaks.
What Akala is saying about more blacks slaves originating from the Caribbean is right. A lot of the Caribbean islands were former British colonies during the british empire (hence the commonwealth). So Akala is right again. For those who don't know who Akala is, he's the brother of British artist called Ms Dynamite.
A lot still have the Queen as head of state and some are actually still British overseas territories
His Father is not Barrington Levi
Don't forget the French, Dutch and Spanish colonies.
Ms dynamite is a famous female singer
Really, that's her brother?
I have to say there are few men I want to hear what they have to say and Akala is one of them. I am a old white man and do not have a clue who this man is but he has my attention now.He is a beautiful man to hear. I went and bought 10 Years Grindin [Explicit] just to find out more about him.
I have to also say I love this channel, thank you Mr. Lyubovny, with this you have allowed me to find an hear men like Marc Lamont Hill, Dr. Johnson, Charlamagne ,Dr.Watkins and Freeway Ricky.
Damn one of the first educated dudes you've had on here
never heard of this dude but he's very intelligent.
dangboodang akala spits knowledge.....not many rappers could fuck with him
dangboodang British grime music scene , he's talented there as well
pahahahaha
dangboodang Go check out Akala (Fire in the Booth part 1) straight 🔥🔥🔥
Dorian Graye his sister is ms dynamite check her out
The case Akala is referring to is the 1981 New Cross Massacre.
yea, I only found out from the song "thirteen dead and nothing said"
Yep I remember it well! Still no justice. No closure.
Damn, Akala... you schoolin' brothers on insightful shit. Vlad, you better have him on a segment every week. Vladtv might become a channel with depth if you keep it up.
+Graham Mckeever shut up white boy.
he's a know-it all? What brought you to that assumption?
Shut yo ass up you no havin ass RUclips subscribers your an internet fuckin BUSTER and dats all u Eva goin be, now if ye don't mind I'm goin out to fuckin get get CRUNK...,.. Enjoy ur XBOX Bitch
This young brother knows his history. Good job Vladimir. Even you learned something new. Keep bringing these interviews to us. Enough of the simps. 💯
I learnt more in this video than I did in 3 years of college.
Certainly. Unfortunately, for you, before and during 3 years of college you never LEARNED that "learnt" is improper grammar.
LotusFlowerBomb80 LotusFlowerBomb80 How?
Thats a shame for you ngl
more Akala interviews, less Lord jamar ones
More Akala and Jamar as well! Both are awesome brothers.
Less Umar too
W
Get the fuck outta here.
+God is Black Why do yall hate being part african and believe in retarded psuedo science bullshit of how native americans are actually black but are not, why do yall steal other peoples culture instead of embracing "africaness? Also native americans are actually mongoloid meaning they're actually asian and come from siberia, thats why you see asian traits on native americans like their eyes and straight long hair.
I could listen to this guy for hours, he's like a human history book
i clicked on this video cuz my homepage aint poppin, said let me watch this Akala dude since he keeps poppin up in my suggestions... Pleasantly surprised! Such an intriguing mind...
It's shocking how little we all know about the world
Akala is the TRUTH
This guy is definitely intelligent, and well- spoken. I'm about to see what the hell his music sounds like.
Akala fire in the booth! Check it out.
IrugaZERO I'll check it out now, I just watched Carried away and I fuck with it.
Watch fire in the booth
Listen to fire in the booth part 1. Serious knowledge!
I'm curious, what did you think of his music? And a year on, do you still listen to him?
Dope interview. I will look up his music because he's very intelligent and pro-black!!
Pro-black? You mean he appreciates his heritage, both sides, he proudly claimed his Scottish roots as well as his Jamaican. You heard what you wanted to hear, because you are ignorant, just like the interviewer was to slavery, and the truth that the US was a tiny fraction of the slave trade, yet is the only place that still cries about it.
He is pro-black! I clearly identifies with being black more than white just like my homeboy Colin Kaepernick! Your just pissed because blacks are waking up and trust me we will become unified very soon. The police are going to make us stronger and more of a threat.
He might be 'pro black' but understand that a lot of his fans/audience is white and also 'pro black'. You don't need to be black to be pro black and pro black also doesn't mean anti-white.
It's not the police you have to worry about, since 91% of black men murdered in the states are murdered by other blacks. Idiots like you and your black supremacy make me laugh.
Cam0 see smh
looka dis fool here. Got the nerve to come on a blac culture channel (like I am not blac and lived in this skin) but talk about "blac on blac" violence whatever that is.
But why is he not talkin about "white on white" violence? Or even worse the chattel slavery murder rape genocide and atrocities of white on blac violence for the 400 years it happened?
Why are these people not speakin about that?
If you are white you have no right to talk to anyone about murder as you peoples whole premises is based on murder. That's how you have everything now.
Whatever "blac on blac" violence is it will never match you demonic bluefoots historical crime rate and what you have done throughout history. YOU ARE BORN MURDERERS!
comin up on blac people tings talkin foolishness but bet I won't ever catch you on a Klan page talking shit. GET DA FUC OUTTA HERE. U don't belong here.
Last but not least did anyone see what happened in France this summer?
NOOOO blac people were involved whatsoever but just research the events.
These people ruined the south of France in a single day but guess what color the people were who had to clean up the mess after they fled bac to there countries?
Man can't tek dese people serious man kmt bloodfire
#nomorepasses
Akala is the truth!
haha paul pierce
I can’t believe it toke me this long to find out akala has a vlad interview. This man is an actual genius not just a rapper.
Absolutely brilliant! I wish we had more brothers in the limelight that were as educated, confident, and articulate as Akala! Imagine if we all elevated ourselves to this level of awareness how progressive we could be as a society.
Fuck off the gezza is racist
Racist.
I knew this already. He's spot on and I'm happy to be Haitian/American man because we don't fuck around at all. I wish my black brethren in America would fight back like my Haitian Ancestors did,because being black is to be royalty.
Chris Matheus facts!!
Vlad will never invite Akala back, he literally watched his mouth more than usual in this interview
I love the fact he gives us an educated UK perspective of things & drops historical knowledge, good interview. I'd like to see him on here regularly.
Akala is such an inspiration! He is conscious, eloquent and well-read. Honestly, I could listen to him speak all day!
akala should go on the brilliant idiots podcast
100%!!!!!!
I swear that came to mind on watching this video. I can just imagine the Hezy asking all kinds of questions.
I've been listening to Akala for years. He would destroy Schultz.
Akala is speaking my soul right here!!
(Of course knuckleheads won't get it tho.)
The ignorance is Real and Strong.
This man is beautifully intelligent. Am proud of this brother. Much luv
*AKALA HELLA LACED DJVLAD WITH SOME KNOWLEDGE*
just wanted to acknowledge bro U said it first this dude dropped hella game
I learn so much from hearing this man. Thanks Vlad for interviewing him.
Get the full interview up Vlad!
damn..i dont think we even need lord jamar anymore lol
Lord Jamar didnt even know himself what the fuck he was on about.
How do you figure? Because you all didn't agree with him or is it that he speaks with conviction?
Lmao
Gootothesecond
it was a joke bro. im a fan of jamars work
Jamar is way to ignorant
A lot of people hate on Vlad but got to respect him because he gave a man like Akala a chance to school a lot of people.
It won't surprise me if a lot of people won't listen to these kind of interviews and rather listen to Vlad TV interview with mozzy and Daylit...
Akala is a wise man and i like to see him in a long interview with David Banner.
I'm a dutch, excuse me for my mistakes that i made typing ;-)
Wow I agree with this brother a lot. Hip hop is a modern minstrel. As a huge fan of hip hop I am really rethinking what kind of music I listen to because of this brother’s thoughtful discussion. Thanks!
I could listen to akala talk about history for hours, his knowledge is amazing
Akala always on point! In the newspaper if its negative the guy will be a "Rapper" if it's positive he's a "Singer"
Yeah, R Kelly was referred to As a rapper lol In the UK media, during his rape accusations!
I could listen to Akala speak all day. So intelligent, so articulate and so informed.
Please, Vlad, replace my guy, Jamar with this young man.
Trufh Boof Some of it is, not all.
Trufh Boof
They are, but it shouldn't mean they can't have the same creative freedoms, who knows, some white boy could release the realiest rap album of the decade but he would be held back if rap had that ideology
Hip-hop was born out of fighting oppression, not to start it
There is a video of Jamar saying that shit, just google it
FuckdasketsHOPassass Just watched the interview, he never said that shit about Macklemore. In fact who with a functioning brain would? 😂
Everyone check out Akalas FITB this guy got bars and its the best FITB in my opinion
yeeeeeees
Which one he's got 4
the first one and thrid are my favorite
1 and 4 for me
Uno
I love listening the Akala speak. He is a really smart and insightful MC, a breath of fresh air !!!
Btw Vlad, I appreciate the imaginative titling of this video. Sometimes you have to set a honey-trap to attract the dimmest bears in the forest.
This brother is very intelligent, I've got to check out his music.
1st salute to Vlad for getting this interview right! WE NEED MORE OF THESE!!!
2nd Akala thank you for so eloquently explaining the African American plight. Wise beyond your years brother. Peace!
Good to see Akala still doing his thing and educating his audience as much as he can. I saw him do a talk and performance in Mcr UK few yrs back and he's still getting better and better at dropping the real talk. May this interview get all of us thinking more about what we say and do and the roots of it all.
Akala needs his own show tbh
Good job Vlad!! Glad you finally got someone like Akala on your platform. I’m from the UK, we love and honour Akala for his high intelligence and Pan-Africanism. I’m happy you brought him on to to teach and speak truth. People who are interested should also get his book Natives: race & class in the ruins of Empire.
I could listen to this dude all day everyday and twice on Sundays
I applaud his decision to not use racial slurs and stereotypes and to try to be more informative and positive whilst also dealing with realities
Akala you dunknow already dropping gems from day
Akala 🙌🏽. He’s a national treasure as far as I’m Concerned 🖤
Dude is on point. He even brought up the Apache and Mexican war.
nice one vlad!! really enjoying these Akala interviews. You gotta get Lowkey on soon.
This might be top 5 funniest titles on Vlad's channel.
Honestly, knowing Vlad's staff I'm surprised it doesn't say "Raped"
Vlad responding with a simple and short "sure" after Akala just told him about the History of his country is astonishing, it's like it didn't even affect his day.
🔥🔥🔥"hip hop at it's best can challenge power, at it's worst it can reinforce power." 🔥🔥 fucking A
I ran into this video just browsing. Never Heard of this man but I'm about to check out his music. Love from Dallas Texas.
i would like to sit and chat with this guy breath of fresh air
Such a great speaker. Certainly challenges lazy thinking that many people slip into.
I believe one calls this "dope ass shit".
He is very knowledgeable! #Respect ✊🏾
As always Akala teaching the truth and breaking it down for those who don't overstand....Salute every time mi breda👍
They say the way you can tell a truly intelligent person is being able to take an complex part of information and breaking it down for children to understand… this man is that
More akala please
I did not know about the ratio of slaves in the Caribbean and Brazil vs The USA. THAT, is an eye opener.
This guy should be speaking at Howard.. not Vlad
he spoke at Oxford university
because he's" that rapper, rap about matters that actually matter, challenging power....." you know the rest
Streetslogic who's Howard??
Or Harvard
Great interview. Very intelligent sounding man. Glad i got to see this one
Not saying I disagree because I have huge amounts of respect for Akala... but why does no one care about big pun, fat Joe and joell ortiz saying the word nigga?
Pun was half black
but joe is pale as fuck though
There latin most latin people have black origin
Makeveli The Don that's utter bullshit. Most latinos are mestizo, and it depends also on the country, Argentina is almost all white and bolivia is majority native
most ppl from p.r, d.r, cuba, central america, parts of mexico, venezuela,colombia,peru,ecuador, and brazil are all mixed with white,black, and native american.
AKALA this is the first time in my life I'm hearing these facts. Thank you!!!!! 🙌
Vlad was intellectually outclassed in this interview
I think I heard Vlad's head actually explode on this one! Spends all his time digging up beef between rappers so this convo literally shook his world!
He never interviewed him again because vlad knows he’s been exposed by this guy
I have subscribed to this channel because of Akala, more video like this please.
Sub to Akala's channel bro.
I wonder who are the 5 people that have disliked this video! smh
gives the same vibe as the Tupac vibe interview. There is just so much either tension or information in everyword they speak. Akala might be that spark that Tupac was talking about.
Akala being given a voice to the US will be so powerful
thank me for suggesting akala after vlad interviewed estelle...akala is the wisdom!
this the real meaning of a rapper right here
agree!
I can't stand listening to British rap/hip hop but I quite like listening to this guy talk. He's actually quite intelligent and pretty well read. I think he's a good role model for all races.
this dudes needs to teach a class
you'll learn more from from 10 minutes of him rapping than a month of regular school classes.
He does talks at Universities in the UK. i atteneded one he did in the slavery museum in Liverpool about the Hatian revolution.
he does he has book and visits schools and universitys and has his own company that teaches all the things schools and the media and the government wont talk about.
Dude this interview literally turned me on lol I'm an African American studies minor and hearing him speak is AMAZING! I actually thought it was funny that Akala knows so much more about African American history than Vlad does. Vlad put some more people like this wonderful man out! We need to continue to educate our people!
Brilliant mind

VLAD, thank you for posting these vids with MLH, Dr Umar and Akala... This is the side of blacks the world needs to see.
African Americans need to travel to other continents - non white countries. Where I grew up we would treat the black guy in our school better than each other, non of the prejudice and stereotypes exist
Tell em please
+Sophia N north Korea obviously
Fantastic interview. Really well put.
The Western US was also under Mexico's control prior to 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Part of what lead to the Mexican american war was Mexico's resistance against america's slavery. However, slavery was still present and vicious under spanish rule. Native peoples were forced by the spanish to build the California missions. Junipero serra is supposedly a "saint", but in reality, he's just another slave master.
Knowledge is power, great interview, please get LOWKEY on here.

Keep the akala interviews coming vlad this guy needs more recognition the world needs more akala.
- Also hes rapping ability is far higher than most of your favourite rappers(Trust me) ...LISTEN TO, Akala - fire in the booth part 1
Vlad the title is super misleading. Akala does not say this. He is answering in the voice of the youth he would ask that question to. Akala has spoken many times on racism and what it means when an oppressed group has a racial prejudice against their oppressors. Not the same thing as racism. CHANGE THE TITLE VLAD YOU ARE REALLY PAINTING A DIFFERENT IMAGE OF AKALA WITH THAT. SERIOUSLY, NOT COOL VLAD. plz upvote this and get this to his attention this is a serious misrepresentation of Akala
best video you ever posted.
