Its funny...in that old ass WU-Tang documentary where Divine is talking about Dame, saying he is destined to fail long term moving how he does............he couldnt have been more correct. Look at this nikka now, went from sliding into a hottub with 2 dimes and 2 Cristal bottles on MTV to THIS. And he looks like a fiend too. smh

Underrated post.

And like i predicted in this thread about dame confronting lee daniels; he was broke.

People don't typically ask for their money back after investing in a film, especially indie films b/c they almost always lose money.

people invest in films to be in the film business, to go to the premieres and rub elbows w/hollywood types and network or they just believe in the project.

That's fukking true.

Dame is one of these dudes that has the knowledge, but his ego and arrogance gets in his own way of execution.

You've still gotta be able to talk to and network w/people and he flat out can't do it.

Yup, I remember I have VHS tape back then when "Backstage: Hard Knock Life Tour" with DMX, Method Man & Redman, Roc-A-Fellas, etc. All you see Damon Dash was arguing with somebody from Def Jam staff. You don't see Jay-Z or Biggs yelling out or arguing or anything. It always Damon.

breh that split was a long time ago. We are talking the early 2000s and the Black album came out in 2003. He squandered so much that you wanna hope that he stashed some away.

But that MTV Cribs showed us all what kinda shyt Dame was on and he was determined to get his own shyt going post-Rockafella instead of taking a LA Reid type job (which Jay did) and reassess. He was so thirst to stay in the music business instead of branching off and putting money behind someone like Tyler Perry.

then his personal life was in shambles because of his own decisions.

when it’s all said and done, dude was a slight tier above Irv Gotti and his golden goose became self aware and dipped.

Exactly. I used to think he was on Puff level. Should’ve known better. Puff was a business student at Howard. You don’t leave there and be a dummy. Dame went to the Harlem School of Business :dame: We waste money. Don’t save any money for later. We risk all our money every time. We bark and scream at powerful bankers that we need to run our business. And we alienate our partners that create 99% of our profits :dame:

When dude was selling his sneaker collection on eBay it was clear he needed bread

and then he had the nerve to say it wasnt for money, somebody just jacked stuff from his storage unit and was selling it, and he didnt realize or care

:stopitslime:

Come on Dame
I have nothing but respect for people who are honest and humble... Dame on the other hand
