Flakko Interrogates Lil Man J About Being a Culture Vulture

Flakko came prepared, no holds barred, when asking Lil Man J about his lyrics being cap or not, his background, black culture, and more. So much so that management felt the need to intervene.

18:30 In 2021, Lil Man J was inspired by Polo G, mesmerized by his success so he went in on the social media research, how to promote etc, how to use Tiktok etc

32:20 Lil Man J says it's just a smart move even though he struggles to answer, then retorts with something besides the point: "I can't rap like that forever, I don't wanna be known as the Lil Baby clone"

34:50 Lil Man J, are you a culture vulture? 

36:42 Lil Man J says he's giving back to the community, $20 here and there, Flakko calls cap, J gets flustered: "I guess that one didn't work"
