Dame Dash took his traveling seminar to the Breakfast Club on March 13th and provided all the arrogant bluster expected of a Harlemite who was once expelled from school for
parking his car in the principal’s spot. His convoluted perception of manhood is faulty and typical of the hyper-masculine mindset that holds us back. He managed to insult the entire working class he panders to with all his ventures. After yet another puzzling interview, the question is still up in the air: is he out to really empower anyone or hear himself talk?
His interview with Charlamagne, DJ Envy and Angela Yee was full of the unprovoked pontificating, covert misogyny and blatant hypocrisy that have typified his onslaught of interviews and YouTube testimonies the past 2-3 years. In the interview Dash said he works with women because they’re more trustworthy, then later said nobody should be trusted. He rants about the pitfalls of working with other men but later said we should be more unified. He goes in on Lyor Cohen for exploiting the culture for his pockets then says “no ‘real man’ talks about another man’s pockets”. He even seems to contradict his
valid points.
On the Breakfast Club and Sway, every time Dame was called on a questionable statement he slithered out into the open field and went on another tangent. It’s as if he doesn’t care about staying consistent as much as negating the last statement someone made. I get the feeling if he were to ever write an advice book it may resemble the nonlinear Goosebumps books, where the bottom of every page offered the reader a different continuation depending on their perspective of the text:
“If you disagree that a real man doesn’t ask another real man for help, turn to page 89 to learn why they do. If you agree, keep going (pause).”
