Damn....a lot of people in here are slimy azz nikkas. Almost makes me want to be slimy irl because what's the point in being a good cat if everybody greasy. I can see why people get fukked in business.
A few things I saw in this thread:
1. Dame/Biggs did see Yeezys talent first.
2. At the time, the Roc cosign got people to listen to Kanye. Rap was gangsta then and Kanye was this soft kid in tight clothes who rapped about conscious topics. Hell, Through the Wire was very very lukewarm when it came out. He ain't get that official stamp until All Falls Down and became a huge star with Jesus Walks.
3. Yes. Dame did help Kevin Harts career. Kevin is from Philly. Dame put him on "Paper Soldiers", which helped raise his profile considering he was a nobody then. I'm guessing the people in State Prop helped Kevin Hart get in that movie seeing they're all from Philly.
That's it.
connecting more dots ... i ain't know until recently that Dame produced the soundtrack for that Nicky Barnes joint
