see this is why i only halfway understood dame's malice towards lyor.

every rapper from def jam has nothing but good stories and memories with lyor

Nah, you're only basing it from this. There's alot of those stories. But its like, who has bad stories about Jimmy Iovine? They're
powerful execs so most tip-toe around those stories.

Chuck D. Foxy Brown The Beastie Boys and a host of others BEG TO DIFFER :upsetfavre:

Rappers loved the accessiblity LYOR gave them and the creative input

But were BLIND to the fact that businesswise he was EXPLOITING them

And didnt find out till it was too late


Mainy cause most rappers were NOT GOOD NOR CONCERNED WITH BUSINESS :manny:

:stopitslime:Slaves love their master when they don't think they're slaves

Or as long as that master doesn't look like them:mjpls:....White man wrongs em and they quick to give him the benefit of the doubt and blame themselves of just being ignorant to the business....Black man wrongs them and they gotta go on a campaign telling the world how horrible he is,and how as a black man he should've sat them down and taught them the business:damn:

Just one of the curses of being a black boss ine industry I guess:manny:

I read a method man interview saying noone would pickup his calls but lyor did while on a beach on vacation and gave him super love. A lot of people who worked directly wit lyor love him.

Exactly...u dont see none of these black azz rappers sending GOONS at LYOR or trying to have him Jacked when dont see eye to eye with him

Yet let a Black Exec do something they dont like...

Then you gotta worry about that Rapper doing ISIS maneuvers on you and your family

Trust me I know which is why I DONT MANAGE ARTISTS ANYMORE.... :ufdup:

Nah, you can tell they had genuine love for Lyor tho. Lyor was a straight shooter with them, and they appreciated it. From what we've heard, he also had a relationship with all of them.

Well I'm sure it has to do with white men like Lyor knowing and having much more POWER/INFLUENCE with other White men that control the industry too..I'm pretty sure LYOR can blackball an artist out the industry quicker then a black man Exec can
