irv is from that dame mold where if you listen to them for 5 minutes you'd think they have everything in the world figured out. BUT, theyre fukkin snake oil salesmen...which you need in business, but that "i know more than everyone else" narrcisism can wear thin on people who get tired of hearing and watching you beat your chest.

that being said, i kinda wanted irv to get that def jam job. he's an a$$hole, but lyor wasnt? anyway, he got humbled and you hope he's learned from that and in the end he wasnt lying when he said he loved music. i want someone who deeply cares about music running the richest (culturaly) hiphop label in history.

I wanted Irv to get that job. I thought it was a given during the time he did the MTV interview that he had the job and the interview was some sort of faux promotion.

Irv's downfall was the fact that he was a civilian his entire life but was intrigued by the gangster lifestyle... happens to a lot of cats like him.

just like he said in this clip, i can see him sitting around watching A&E and mob documentaries all day, lol, fantasizing and sh!t. supreme leaning on him and providing muscle was probably better than an orgasm to him, on some "finally!! i'm gangsta!! i have cred!!!" type sh!t

:shaq2:

i guarantee if he got sent up for his case he woulda did about 6-7 months and then rolled over, i guarantee he woulda started talking, because he aint built like that.. his brother was always the "street" one.

Meech was going to jail. No way he could avoid the pen with the way he moved and everybody knowing what he was doing.

they was about to take over like i said in the other thread
Irv, J Prince, and Big meech

What an idiot from these dude. You know damn well FBI always go after Big Meech and these dude wanna work with Big Meech?

While they fukked up Murder Inc for a number of issues, mainly trying to be 'too street' by siding with Supreme...

We can't ignore that Irv Gotti helped bring us DMX and Jay-z.

Right. Idiot Irv Gotti wanna go with Supreme was just :snoop:

Wanna work with Supreme and Big Meech....these n@gga are not that smart, that was dumb move.

Irv and Dame are alike in that they both like to talk a lot of sh*t but I think Irv's a lot more smarter than Dame. Now, that's not to say he's a genius but Dame was too big headed for his own good. Irv seems like the type who knew when to talk and when to shut up and listen to his artists and staff. Dame came off like an arrogant a$$ who no one could even talk too because he was constantly ego tripping.

Irv's downfall was allowing a legit drug lord into his organization. Thats where ppl like Jay and 50 and Dre always succeeded at. They all know when to turn shyt on and off. Life aint one big Street Credibility Contest. These Gs and thugs are BAD for business. Puffy and Dre learned the hard way and never made that mistake again. Well besides Diddy and that whole BMF shyt.
