Pretty Vee: What’s up, you guys? It’s your girl, Pretty Vee. 

Christian Cosby: And I’m Christian Crosby from VH1’s ‘Wildin’ Out.’ 

Vee: And this season is all about old school versus new school. 

Cosby: That’s facts. And we are here at Billboard’s 2025 Hip-Hop/R&B Power Player event to see which side everybody’s repping. Y’all ready? You ready Vee? 

Vee: I’m ready. 

Cosby: All right, let’s get it. Let’s go.

Vee: We are here at the Billboard’s Hip-Hop/R&B Power Players. And guess who just came on in. 

Cosby: The boy. 

Vee: Showing us some love.  Ty Dolla $ign.

Cosby: Ty Dolla $ign, what’s up, brother? 

Ty Dolla $ign: What up, how y’all doing man? 

Cosby: Them vocals is out of control. Hold on, what you think, Ty?

Ty Dolla $ign: She got it. 

Vee: Tonight, we are here celebrating the innovators, the shakers, the movers. What does it mean to be an innovator?

Ty Dolla $ign: What it means to be an innovator is someone that creates something from scratch and makes it the biggest thing on earth. You know what I’m saying? 

Vee: Yeah, and I call you one of those ones too, though. 

Cosby: 100%. 

Ty Dolla $ign: Absolutely.

Cosby: Now, you know, the game is changing. We’re talking about the old school and the new school. You’ve obviously inspired so many of these new schoolers. But my question is, is there any of these new dudes that are inspiring you nowadays?

Ty Dolla $ign: Oh, absolutely. I was just saying over there that R&B is definitely making a comeback, like some of my young guys and girls out there are going crazy, like, really caring about music again, really trying to be the best at it, not depending on the computer and, like, going in. So I’m happy for R&B right now.
