I think he said he used to own or run his own distribution companies and he would teach others how to do the same. Anyone know anything about that?
He was on point with GTA when they tried to use his track without consent and he was the first one to step up and say something about the way the business was being handled with Wide Awake after they got the Death Row catalog.
He low key exposed Slaughter House because he spoke on a deal he was offered where they would only ship x amount of units. It turns out SH had took a deal with the same label for the same amount of units for their first album. They under shipped their project but Daz knew better and he turned the deal down. I think it was eleven thousand units.
I can't say off top about SH but it sounds familiar. I know Daz said JT from The Bay gave him alotta the game on the Independent route.
The younger ones ain't even really hip to the Fact, and this is no exaggeration. That if you wasnt Major or Independent then you didn't exist. You was a MySpace Artist at "YourPlace", meaning where u laid your head at bekuz none of no real Social Media Mediums really existed then that were specifically designated for your Art
And tbh honest, if you was on an Independent back in those days then you kinda didn't exist either.
Unless you showed up on a Major Artist's record or album then you weren't really known "like that". If you didn't have a Single deal on a Soundtrack or appear on somebody's Remix then you coulda practically went anywhere out your State or Region and wouldn't have been known.
Daz as far as I know was the first person to do what's sort've like tha norm today. With the exception of the Mixtape game that 50 Cent brought to the table. With respect to Mobb Deep and Bad Boy
