"I Slapped The Sh!t Out Of U Already" Dame Dash Responds To Steve Stoute Club Shay Shay Interview

[Piff Perkins]

NOBODY wants anything to do with Dame Dash. His business acumen is overrated, his acumen for talent acquisition is overrated, his vision is overrated, his “boss status” philosophy is overrated. Everything ABOUT this man is overrated. He’s been living off the fact that he hitched his horse to one of the greatest rappers of all time 30 years ago and the false notion that he somehow foresaw and supported the rise of Kanye West (he didn’t)

Dame Dash is right where he belongs

 

[Billy Ocean]

Dude is one of the biggest snakes in the business.

That's why he's always getting ran up on and snuffed. He likes to divide friends and profit from the conflicts and sh*t. He did it with Jay and Dame. He's literally the reason why we never got the AZ and Nas collabo album. He was in Nas's ear telling him to distance himself from certain rappers. He was mad that AZ didn't want Trackmasters to manage him anymore. Stoute was making bread off TM, so if you didn't want to work them, he would try to dead your career and cause beef between crews. He did the same to Nature when he wanted off TM. Killed dude's whole career.

Mad shady bum.

All true but still doesn't negate what Stoute said about Dame. Dame is insufferable, hard headed, talked to people like shyt and burned every possible bridge in the industry he made millions in.

 

[L. Deezy]

But that's for Nas to decide.

Guiding a career is one thing. But going around doing shady sh*t for ego and power is another. Stoute was the one that f*cked up the Firm album too because he felt as Nas's manager he should have Trackmasters on there too. He went to Interscope and said he would take Nas off the album if Tone and Poke couldn't get a piece of the production. And all their sh*t was wack on there, lol. Which is why Dre said he didn't like the process because "people were more concerned with having their logo on the CD, than they were about just making good music."

All Stoute cares about is money and lifting his profile. So if he can snake someone to get it, then he'll do that. He jerked Pusha T for the McDonald's jingle that still plays today. Threw thousands at dude, and took his publishing rights for it. But then paid Justin Timberlake $6M to sing the song. 20 years later, McDonald's is still using the song that Pusha wrote, and he's not getting paid for the slogan or song. Stoute was working as Kid N Play's road manager and stealing bread from them later when Kid was trying to start a label. His whole career is based on lies, stealing, and snaking people to get ahead. He's made Nas some money, but even Nas fired him a couple times too and brought him back. Kid always said Stoute was a "cutthroat guy who will do whatever to get money". He's right.

Agree to disagree...

I hold Stoute in a favorable light. Yeah, he does shyt to get on my nerves.. but If I was hypothetically in the game and had a chance to be guided by him, Id jump at the chance.

I def see your point tho.. nothing in the industrynis perfect. Hell, Nas has been accused of being a snake and viewed by people he didnt help in a unfavorable light. Thats the business

Aint Steve an ex-football nikka
Breh been getting violated in these streets

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

One of my favorite Stoute memories is watching him get hired and fired by the Knicks in 24 hours after he went on First Take sweating like a pig and told everyone they were firing the coach

I may be biased, bro.

Because I've known both of them since I was a kid, and I don’t know anyone who's known Stoute and actually liked the guy. Jay doesn't even like him, which is why he got rid of him, lol. But as far as Dame, I think a lot of people have seen a couple of clips from Backstage and heard other people tell stories and have created a narrative around dude that's never been who he is. But that's what happens when you get blackballed.

The people Dame pissed off over 20 years, wanted to make sure they could convince other people not to deal with him, and it worked. Which is f*cked up, but that's how the Lyor's of the world work. Now there's mad people who've never even been around dude, who think they know how he really is. And it's not anything close to what people who know him, would say about him.

But Stoute, that dude is dirty all day everyday, lol. I'm really surprised he doesn't roll around with more security.

I think Stoute should learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu like @Mowgli advises. This man gets herbed by everyone in the industry

We sure Steve and Chi McBride ain't brothers?

this simple.

 

[Bolzmark]

Stoute is disliked as well, though

Of course you see the difference being Jay, Nas, and others actually still want to work with him though right?

 

[Harry B]

Why do Dames fans only pop up when hes tryna shyt on other black men

Dude barely cracking 500-1000 likes but shytting in any random black breh and he’s getting thousands

1. Are you really comparing Dame and 50
Dame moves around like a crackhead and 50 moves with posture pause and an army.
Also I wouldn't call an actor screaming at you in front of 10000 cameras and police at an all-star game, getting herbed. Really I give Stoute props for just looking at him like "breh you're 55 years old"

2. that's it really

Dame lost all of his power and status. There's no reason to work with him, since the rooms you would use him in are all sealed for him. Dudes been completely blackballed from the industry. People still rock with Dame though.

Stoute is a snake but still has access to said rooms. But Nas ain't worked with Stoute in 20 yrs, 50 20+, Jay, a good 20. Puff is everything that Dame is, and people work with him knowing they're not gonna benefit in the long run, because he still has status.

Bottom line, all of those dudes are the same, and maneuver the same. But I guarantee Dame has more people that rock with him on a personal level than Stoute.

Ehhh. Mans has been going on a decade long press run for every venture and idea he has. I don't think it's erroneous to say we have enough "film" on him to know who he is at this point. Not to mention, it's not just people from 20 years ago like the Jay-Z 's and Lyor's of the world. It's the Stalley's, Curren$y's, the pro Keds people, his family and more.
