He made can I live. From finding the sample to programming the beat. And he made a lot more
If you watch the reasonable doubt documentary it shows him reconstructing the beat

crazy how gotti did all these great things for def jam, but ran his own label like the out-of-touch/money-hungry moguls that doubted him.
Something about irv throws me off, I fux with dame dash more but irvs energy is off with me he like a pudgy new yorker that always has tough talk.
BET and Irv Gotti Partner to Tell 'Tales': Exclusive
Scripted anthology series will turn classic hip-hop songs like ‘F*ck Tha Police’ into three-act narratives
BET Networks is developing a scripted anthology series with veteran industry executive Irv Gotti. Tales, produced and created by Gotti and his Visionary Ideas production company, will adapt the lyrics of classic hip-hop songs into three-act, 60-minute narratives. Among the tracks being transformed into cinematic “song stories”: N.W.A’s “F*ck Tha Police” and Beyoncé and Jay Z’s “On the Run.”
Slated for second or third quarter 2017, Tales will be helmed by a different director, screenwriter and cast each week, all drawn from a mix of established and emerging talents. The series will be presented in a multi-platform cross-collaboration with Tidal in which the global service will stream exclusive director’s cut versions of the episodes following their initial airings on BET.

“Obviously, BET played a lot of videos in its infancy,” says Stephen Hill, president of programming for the network. “Now that storytelling has evolved as we work to bring viewers new exciting content that reflects some of the greatest stories that hip-hop has told in the 20th and 21st centuries.”
Gotti, the founder of iconic R&B/hip-hop label Murder Inc., was acquitted of money laundering charges after a three-year federal investigation. Taking a five-year sabbatical from the music industry ("I wasn't feeling the whole energy of the business") to spend more time with his two sons, Gotti, who previously starred in the VH1 reality series Gotti's Way, is back with the first of several planned television, film and music projects, among other ventures, under the Visionary Ideas umbrella. Promising compelling stories that will blow people’s minds while making them talk and think, he sums up Tales’ bottom line in three words: “Entertain. Entertain. Entertain.”
Adds Gotti, who will also write and direct some of the episodes, “This isn’t no reality show shyt and not a video. I’m going to tell a story like only I can tell a story and involve the hip-hop culture, which is colorless. Visionary Ideas is DreamWorks times 100, which is a crazy statement as big as DreamWorks is. But that’s my goal.”

Imma keep it a hunnit. In oakland all the nikkas that fukked with dmx and tupac were some grimy nikkas that didnt amount to anythjng (my oldest brother being one of them) So what jay said about his music being depressing is pretty true. It was the nikkas that was fukkin with cash money, no limit, rocafella that made something for theyselves

It's a damn shame too. Guys like Irv, Lyor, Russell, Steve Stoute, Steve Rifkin etc all got amazing stories to tell. Podcasts are a cool way to get people to talk, and I'd like to see all those dudes on the Rap Radar one for instance...but I'd also love to hear them talking to each other. Get me Irv and Puffy in a room being interviewed at the same time. Shooting the shyt, going off topic, arguing, laughing, reminiscing. And get a host who can steer the interview when needed but mainly just be a fly on the wall. Toure for instance. That's the type of shyt I want to see.
There are so many dope rock and jazz documentaries. There's gotta be a market for rap docs, roundtables, interviews, etc.

if someone took drink champs and gave it a real host, it'd be the most amazing show in history.. the concept of letting them go off cuff, drink to loosen them up, having random people in the same interview. it's always great. but nore can't handle it at all. every ep gets out of hand and misses guidance
can you elaborate on this ?
but drink champs wont be the same if nore dont host
matter fact those people bcz nore is their friend
they just gotta make it professional on some rap radar shyt
less people
less noise
let the person finish the story
