Hero Gebrial True. When you honest. Make sure you do not do anythimg verbal ...go strictly contract and LAWSUIT if you have to. I dont care who it is... $6M...??? Go hard and FREAKING GET YOURS!!!
I SOOO AGREE WITH DAME.. THERE ARE LOTS OF CULTURE VULTURE OUT HERE...IF THEY ROB YOU AND CANT CONTROL YOU .. THEY TRY TO CONTROL OTHER PEOPLES OPINION ABOUT YOU. HE IS SOOOOO RIGHT ABOUT THE LEGACY THAT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE XXX RIP GENERATION IN HIP HOP.
Hero Gebrial - He is. And he has got to stop with this be so generous to help out just anybody. Tighten up bro'. Look deep into a potential partner's history on how they have dont business with others. Dont just hand out money. Be a credit bureau. And if he hasn't done it yet, have a typed or prepared CONTRACT so he and his partner can both sign it in PERSON. A court will force the other party to cough up the money agreed.
It took 22 years for the public to catch up with Dame and the fact that he gets bad press because he’s honest about the game. Some players in this game of ours do not like that at all. Salute to #DameDash
22 years to catch up to what exactly?? People tend to forget it was jay z who was the rapper, reasonable doubt was his project which was funded as a partnership but dame played a very small role in jays success, he’s not the reason he’s a billionaire and that’s evident in the moves he’s made since jay left, looks who up and who’s still talking they’re a “boss” 😂
He leaves out whatbhe did toncause conflict. Cam and Jay were not real close like that. Dame made Cam VP of Rocafella without asking Jay. Bad business. Where was all the friend stuff he mentions? He killed the situation. Go watch Memphis Bleek's interview. He didngreatnthing. But being an ass to everyone cannot be justified. It wears om people over time.
Dame Dash Is telling the truth about how our culture,and the way certain people do business , and treat one another. I'm sure many black businessmen & business woman will follow suit by taking his advice on how one should do business, and how we all should treat one another. It's the principals that are violated as well as broken trust in all phases not only business. I tip my hat to you Dame Dash for stepping forward. Peace...!
If he would have made contracts and did it the proper way he wouldn’t have to rant on videos about how he got played. There’s no such thing as trust in this industry and that’s facts. He did this to himself.
That's true, but we're talking about hout our own people treat one another. You're 100% right and I would do the same, but how are we as a Black people always doing dirt to each other? When you look out for you people they shit on you , but if you turn your back on them then people wanna call you a sellout on you race. You have to have trust to build a relationship in business as much as having a friendship, etc... I would love to see my people rise as a whole, just like other races do. Why do we have to be last in everything, Why is it so much self hatred among our people?
You have a point, But if Black people don't help each other... meaning !!! Stop thinking about themselves and hating on anyone that's trying to make it in life whatever they're trying to strive to become.I don't judge Black men and woman because they drive nice cars, dress well, live in big houses, I judge my Black people according to their moral compass,and character. How they treat one another with dignity, and respect is worth more than fame, and wealth. I don't have the time to keep up with the jone's I stay in my own lane, and even if I was living that life, I would still do business the right way. I would never take from anyone without giving back. If you can't stand on your word, then you're not an honest man or honest woman, And many people can't stand to be around honest people, because they know how truthful honest people are. The TRUTH HURTS...!!!
al5603 #DameDash seems to most times drop jewels. I can’t say I’ve seen an interview w/ him in the past 20 years that has not been informative and laced w/ knowledge and game. Honor code. # levelup
Be careful Dame. Your statute of limitations for collecting your money could pass and you can't sue. Good thing you got him on video reviving his commitment to pay. Get it in writing from now on brother
I dont really agree much with dame period.. but I'm glad I lend my ear to this conversation.. he's right in wanting his money.. dude had a heart and gave it up.. he didn't have to.. pay that man back!
Dame Dash put MoNique in one of your movies. And make MoNique a comedy special that will keep her relevant. We like Dame Dash and MoNique for not being fully controlled by the so called mainstream.
Time to take back their power from so called big names like Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry. Dame Dash one of the most create movie directors (Paid n' Full), MoNique one of the best talk show hosts, comedian, and actress.
FreeMAn MorgAn No matter what you call it he has fallen. It happens when you a risk taker like Dame. All that he has done and accomplished he easily should be worth at least $500 million. I'm sure he kicks himself in the ass sometimes, but like I said he will rise again.
The cultural landscape today is thriving because of the foundation this man paved years ago. Most people have no clue how important Dame is to hip hop and business in general
You see, people try potray black people who are outspoken like Dame as the villains. But look at the truth. Its the snakey crafty silent types like Lee Daniels that are the true villains . How you gonna snake your brother for 2 mill? Smh I feel your pain Dame dont watch nothing you'll get that 2 milly back 10 fold
As elder Neely Fuller Jr. says, until you understand racism/White supremacy, you'll only be confused. Black people have culturally been destroyed and are being reborn. Honor is returning. It was washed from our brains in a system that is not designed by us. Respect to Dame for showing what a "spending your own money" mentality looks like.
Jay got the Picasso idea and buying art from Dame. That’s very clear. Jay still uses Dame as a hustlers blueprint. Jay just doesn’t tell the public that Jay is studying Dame. Respect to #DameDash
Once upon a time rocafella records was destined to take over whitey saw it coming,,, pulled jay z to the side and offered him a deal he couldn’t refuse to turn on his homies,,,, and don’t feed me that camron president shit bcuz at the least that could have been squashed with a conversation if we really brothers...???? Shiiittt ( 2 country’s can come together for a peace treaty) why the fuck can’t 2 supposedly brothers?
Forrest Gump bro if you ever heard any interviews from dame, Biggs or jay, u would have heard them say they started the roc with the intentions on selling it later down the line. Once the roc was over and they went separate ways it’s been clear who’s been better in business.
Marvin Santana what would u call a person who doesn’t know but don’t like Jay? Are they haters or dick eaters? Or would they be Dame stans? I never understood hating someone cause their successful and good at something. That has to be the only reason cause you don’t really know these people. I don’t know dame or jay or Biggs so I can just go off of facts and the facts are all 3 of them put their money up and started the roc. Jay doing the music dame the business and Biggs more of a silent investor who played the back. In 2004 they sold Roc-A-Fella and went their separate ways. jay wasn’t cutting dame or Biggs no checks so how could he have cheated them? U never heard of dame suing jay z or saying he owe him money his issue with jay is he thought they were better friends and it wasn’t just business. He actually said it in this interview. If he made jay it’s been 15 years since the breakup and he hasn’t done anything that has had the impact that the roc had. Even Biggs has been successful after the roc and a prison bid and him and jay still on good terms. Y’all deal with emotions like bitches and at the end of the day it’s business and them 3 did great business together. Maybe dame should of rapped
Forrest Gump Look at the Biggs interview on Rap Radar. He said they always planned to sell Roc-A-Fella from the jump. They actually sold it a few years before the break up but Def Jam didn't pay the full sum so they did an extension. They all knew it was ending.
This is an excellent interview with Damon Dash this one brother that know how to navigate through the sharks of the music industry.... hats off to Damon Dash✌🏾
It's always good to hear a brother speak from his heart that he's building for his family and his family's future you always hear Brothers talk about what they got to go by right now and how many b****** they got that brother spoke for noun with words of wisdom and he was very careful he didn't throw nobody under the bus but all the people that owe him will soon be back .♾💯
Great interview! I’m in the same age group n grew up in Brooklyn and I was never a Damon Dash fan but this interview and actually taking the time to listen to this this man, I can say I’m legit impressed. Love his mentality and generosity. Positive Black Man! ✊🏽
D Dash is a real guy whis i had the opportunity to be in his circle of friends. His blessings coming on top of blessings. Keep up the good work 👑 Dash🙏🙏
Shawn Quick bro the truth is dudes like Dame may never really make the money their loyalty deserves. The way business is practiced squeezes out people like him to never really be on top. I respect him but truth be told it's people like him that pay the heaviest price for being real and caring about our people and culture. It's sad bro.
Screw the Black Stuff! Like the Bank says “ Do you have Collateral?” This is Business! Don’t give out anymore loans where people don’t give you collateral!
I truly admire Dame always have always will..I rooted for Dame when the others was trying to Shit On him..respect his hustle and tht will never change ...salute
Angelo Figueroa Do your research. Jay was the roc . Dame tried to sneak make Cam pres while jay was on vacation with B. How you do that? Jay wanted Bleek or Beans to have that spot. Then he made paid in full for a snake Alpo. So don't look at mr 4 culture as a victim.
You are an inspiration Dame ,for truly been some one who invest in Black people and for been independent. You control you own life and business because you put your money up. So nobody can tell you nothing
I never heard of jay and Kanye owing him milllions he just say they screwed him over and I love dame but what about the money he owes Beanie Sigel , currensy and Jim Jones how come he always changes the subject when that’s brought up other than that dame is 💯 in my opinion
pedro gates Those situations have been discussed & Dame talks about them openly. With Currensy he doesn't owe him anything because Currensy was signed to his Indy label DD172 & when Dame went to China Currensy signed to another label behind his back without permission. They even went to court for that & the judge ruled in Dame favor saying Dame did nothing wrong, it was Currensy's lawyers that lied to him & made him believe that Dame did something, but as you can see nothing ever came of that situation because Dame wasn't wrong. As for Beanie, he & Dame actually spoke to each other about it & ironed that out. Dame didn't steal anything from Beans, Dame was the one who gave Beans State Property records & State Property clothing line, plus put him in 3 movies. That money was taken by Def Jam/ Lyor Cohen not Dame, ask yourself how come Beans never sued Dame if Dame really took that money from him? With Jimmy, he's clearly just bitter, VampireLife never made a dime & if Dame took anything from that all Jimmy has to do is sue him, but of course he didn't, why? Because he knows his claim wouldn't hold up in court. Dame & Cam are still very close friends & business partners, Jimmy is just super emotional & overreacts to things he don't understand.
I just watch Lee Daniels on Raquel from TMZ and he admitted that he owed am in the money basically and I will say Damon was a good man in this one because he waited years and years I would not have waited that long Lee Daniels would have had a fight me in the yard
Dam that Marly quote about them buying compounds for their families smh dam I luv that kinda stuff. I wanna do that. Buy a whole blk and put family in every house. I'm getting close. 2 n the league baby 2 😅we moving silent out here for rt Now !
Buying compounds are common practice in Africa and the Caribean(I'm not talking about just rich people either), nice to see your inspired but at the same a little saddened this isn't common knowledge.
@DameDash keep talking da ting Brotha!!💯 What you've been doing is so real and so necessary for our financial freedom. Don't let the ungrateful Culture Vultures deter you from your purpose❤💛💚
@10:30 Sam said that " #Taurus is the Revolutionary now." Then he concluded with "No, not Aquarius (like we've been taught in so many books... and #TheAgeofAquarius ), no, not Aries, not Scorpio; but it's *Taurus."* We've been taking a closer look at the *2nd sign* ever since.
Dame dash is a very loving person he sees who don't have and it hits his heart cuz he been through not having nothing he been thru the bullshit n in his heart he really don't want to see anyone down he does what he can to help people period but people aren't thinking about others just themselves people need to understand it's different when someone puts up personal money than when company. money is use. period
...u know what's strange...in a way...?? Had Dame shunned Lee, turned him down, didn't help him fiscally to materialize his film-making dreams...?? There may have been a narrative that Dash is 'homophobic'. A damn if do, A damn if u don't, thing. sigh.
Damn talk about the $11mil you stole from beans. The $11mil you were found liable for taking in court. Speak on that. Speak on how you were using Roc-a-fella business accounts for personal trips Speak on you never paying Curren$y when he was signed to you
Like Jay Z said, people never say what he did too them, they complain what he didn't do for them. Jay Z isn't his father, family or childhood friend. Jay Z took care of his crew, Emory Jones, Tata, etc...Get over it man it was 15 years ago
