Stupid thought process and this is Dame way of being broke but acting like he not.

If you have 0 money and its all in your business and that business fails. You lost.

Not a wise move, specially when dealing with Millions.

i think the major issue is he still treats business like a hustle. I can’t listen to the actual clip right now but I’m assuming he’s talking about taking all your cash and always trying to flip. As someone who “hustled” but now building a legitimate business, that was a mental hurdle. A business is not a flip or a hustle. Funds need to be allocated properly and plans need to be followed. Growth doesn’t come in flipping, it’s steady and incremental over time.

That was his point and to further your point he's saying this in 2024, so that should tell you why he's in the position he's in and would never be able to get to where his peers, counterparts, etc. are at now.

He never grew. Thats why at 50+ after having numerous legit ventures he still references hustling and the streets. Beyond that, if he is the billionaire now he isnt talking like this.

I think Jay definitely did some snake shyt but I also think dude was (and still is) way too stubborn and narrow minded to go to the next level. Unfortunately a lot of our brothers are like this...clinging to the old days, blaming everybody else, and rationalizing or plain lying about their shortcomings or failures.

I’m still trying to figure out the snake shyt

Was it leaving just leaving?

They all left with the same split of money

I’m being serious

Dame was doing his thing when he left

He had dame dash music group


And that DD17 thing with all those artists

I think he kept on trying to make new business without making sure the ones he had was solid

Dame being a business genius is one of the great hip hop myths that has been exposed embarrassingly the last 20 years :mjlol:
Nah I got to give dame his props

He was a business mogul for that time

A lot of people was lost behind that no cd thing


It was a scramble when people stopped selling 300-400k a week
