--------
DJ Vlad challenged comedian Aries Spears over his controversial remark that Bob Dylan lacks Black fans, highlighting Jimi Hendrix as a notable exception. Vlad pointed out Hendrix's admiration for Dylan, arguing against Spears' blanket statement that overlooked Dylan's diverse fan base, which includes influential Black artists. Spears contended that Hendrix's musical milieu, akin to how comedians respect their peers irrespective of personal preferences, explained his Dylan fandom.
The conversation also addressed their takes on their hip-hop group "Mount Rushmore," featuring Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, and A Tribe Called Quest. While Vlad's list included Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, Spears dismissed Outkast, citing stylistic differences. The debate showcased Spears' NY-centric biases, contrasting Vlad's eclectic musical tastes, reflecting on both East and West coast influences.
