cool overall, don't remember if he mentioned he wanted to sign the firm before...so that was cool to hear...crazy to think if he did, how shyt would probably be different, maybe

Yeah Dame talked about it on another interview a while back.
*EDIT* Here it goes from 2014. He mentions Stoute's picture with the wig and everything:russ:
Dame Dash Says Steve Stoute Is A "Culture Robber" Who Hurt Jay Z's Brand (VIDEO)
"Dame also talks about how Stoute apparently told him about LL Cool J and Nas not "doing well," how The Notorious B.I.G's crew put lipstick and a wig on him, and how he had to "run up in his office" to stop Stoute from stealing DJ Clue from Roc-A-Fella."

Stoute was President at Columbia (where Nas was) and then went to be a President at Interscope (why the Firm came out on via Aftermath). He tried to get Clue over there too as you heard. Clue worked as a sort of consultant for Interscope.

Matter of fact, I believe Fabolous also explained this situation on Drink Champs and how he was supposed to be on Interscope via Clue's Steve Stoute deal.

Here's a post Fabolous made talking about it

Fabolous Admits He Left Interscope Record Deal: “Decided To Stay W/ Clue & Go Back To The Streets Thru His Mixtapes”

:ohhh: YOOOOOO Dame is absolutely correct that Big Pimpin and its video really did save Jay & Rocafella. I loved Do It Again but it wasn't a smash crossover hit at all and sort of a dud commercially speaking.

:jbhmm:That really puts that video and song into even more context now that I'm older.
Completely disagree about do it again being a dud

song was everywhere from what I remember

He's right. Clue really should have been the 00's version of DJ Khaled and a huge mogul. He just never applied himself like Dame explained to him on Backstage:snoop:.


lets not start doing this revisionist history shyt.

Clue and Khaled are two different people...
...Khaled is where he's at because he's a loud self promotor.

Clue seems laid back and not about the constant networking....
...Clue would probably never have been Khaled...there was never a Khaled before Khaled.

Clue was the biggest DJ during that time...that was the mixtape era...and from how I remember things, he was the most notable one.

Not Khaled as in the loudness but Khaled in the fact Clue had the exact same lane, made the exact same type of albums, had talent under him and knew hits.

Don't get it twisted, Clue talked and pioneered strategic name drops on hits. Problem was he never applied himself they way a DJ Drama or even Funkmaster Flex did. He had Fabolous and Desert Storm, yet he fumbled the situation and most don't even associate Fab with him anymore.

He's trying to be more social the way he should have did 15 years ago but it's kinda too late. None of his interviews or freestyles go viral. That's a shame because he's pretty much the inventor of it.

Clue was too content being the big name in NY due to mixtapes and never worked to truly create any kind of empire. Bascialy he never went digital and got lazy off his mid-90s work.

In theory, Envy should not be held in a higher regard than his mentor. But, hard work beats talent when talent don't work hard.

Speaking of fukkery, why didn’t Suge knight ever get on the breakfast club imagine the absolute fukking GOLD that would have been

Also How the fukk has this never aired, if making the band was some clownery this shyt would of been on some next level



They never got enough material for the show. In true Suge fashion he was constantly ducking the camera crew so they just cancelled it. He signed up for a reality TV show but didn’t ever let them film for it.

:dead:

I wish they would put out what they have on YouTube or something. Looked pretty entertaining.

Why is Khaled popular?
Its not because of talent...its just him being good at marketing himself.

Fab is an over achieving mixtape rapper (and im a big Fab fan)...
...none of those dudes have/had the personality to blow up.

People know Khaled because of him being all in the camera...not for his great albums.

Flex is big because of his show...even still...he's primarily known as a NYC Dj...
...nothing wrong with that.
