Nobody likes that Jew so what else is new Dame?
You gotta allow for the fact that RocaFella got as big as it did BECAUSE Dame was screaming on execs and being the loudest one in the room.
But this same reason is why nobody fukks with him now
He used to shyt on Lyor, Kevin Liles and them during the peak.
Probably not, he is probably a depressed guy still living in the past.Does Dame even like himself?
Lyor has continually ascended. Surely some of it is political. Wait until he retires or dies, then see how much "love" he gets.Anyone who has heard a single dame interview understands how much he hates people who are workers who don’t put up their own bread like all the label execs. Then add that the workers had more power than him over his own shyt. Then add that Lyor doesn’t fukk around and will tell you to your face, you little bytch boy you shouldn’t have sold your shyt to us
From all accounts, almost everyone that worked with Lyor fukks with him cause he allegedly keeps it 100. How many other execs got that much love? Few people would say I’d give you the worst deal if I could so, you’ve gotta be like Gotti, Jay, Dame and them and bet on yourself. Some people hate that, and would rather have a dude that acts like your brother but secretly fukks you over.
This here.
Dame was complaining about Lyor back in '99. Thing is, he was the only one real enough to do it. Lyor was making way too much money off Roc during a period when the label was bringing in a lot of their own resources and talent, but Lyor was pocketing a crazy share of the profit. Dame was the only one who was vocal about how execs who weren't from the community seemed to always get rich off the back of the people doing the actual work.
There was an incident up at Def Jam back in 2000, when Dame was screaming on Lyor and Kev in a meeting, and they called the cops on him, lol. Lyor has always been one of the biggest crooks in the music industry. Dude is one of the first people to champion the 360 and proudly say he has no problem taking the majority of the money from an artist if he's made them famous. No one else would speak up, but Dame always did.
nobody likes a know it all. He has no skill. He hitched his way to a cash cow and fukked it upIt's always telling to seec00nsbrothas take position, against another brotha for a YT man (Lyor Cohen).
Folks actually on here projecting Dame was more shady, cut-throat, or conniving than that Jew,Lyor"Liar" Cohen?
Nkkas is hilarious and beholden to the YT man, or the picture he paints.
Educated, business-minded. Sharp, witty, revolutionary. Helped create a legendary rap label (with two other brothers Biggs & Jay), against all odds. Co-created an historic, hip-hop clothing brand (Rocawear). The forgotten forefather of branding your own liquor (Armandale). Classic tour DVD (Backstage). Did it THEIR WAY in a cac controlled industry (with flash) and he didn't bite his tongue. Dame may not have been perfect, but his heart always been in the RIGHT PLACE when it comes to our culture.
He could fail a 100 more times, and still accomplished more than most you hatin ass fakkits. Again...I really gotta question where that hate comes from, cuz that's something different, when you're not perfect, you haven't knocked any doors down, and you haven't gone up against any REAL POWER STRUCTURE (which he has).
Even if we labeled Dame "bitter", he's earned the right to be, by my estimation. After all the shyt, I'm sure he's had to put up with from cacs at his level and higher, to do all that he did. And STILL get blackballed, or turned on by his own ppl, who he only tried to put on for. I'd probably be bitter too.
But I could never stay silent while some keyboard warrior fakkits, attack his legacy.
