In this clip, Tony Yayo confronted Special Ed's suggestion that N.W.A. brought destruction to hip hop. Yayo defended the controversial group and explained that artists are usually expressing their own lived experiences through their lyrics. He also mentioned liking a few drill rappers and argued that it's not fair to judge these artists negatively simply because their music may be different or unfamiliar to some. However, Vlad brings up the topic of music possibly inciting violence, with songs that promote violent actions leading to real-world events. Yayo responded by saying that people choose to listen to and even enjoy these songs, so the responsibility cannot entirely be put on the artists. He also pointed out that, unfortunately, negativity usually garners more attention than positivity.
