In this clip, Vlad discussed his thwarted plans to interview DMX before his untimely death and how they often pay interviewees upfront. Spears shared a memorable encounter with DMX at Jerry's Deli in LA and a difficult experience on the set of MadTV when DMX found a sketch about his mother emotionally challenging. Vlad also mentioned the complex relationship that DMX had with his mother and the tough upbringing he experienced, which also included being abandoned into foster care. DMX's difficult past contributed to his strong, emotional music, and painful experiences such as maternal abuse were recurring themes in his work, illustrating how his personal life deeply influenced his professional one.
