Idk. .

Maybe im meant to be regular..

But talking to your workforce like they are morons is just terrible..

But apparently.. many of them ultra successful people are a$$holes

Many are, but they are the talent so they get away with it. Dame’s talent is finding talent so it’s easy to discard him.

Def Jam got in Jigga's ear and told him he didn't need Dame

But Dame was the one putting on for the Roc when no one believed in the vision

Dame fought for the deals, Dame was battling label execs for proper resource allocation, Dame was the brains behind the actual business

Jigga was an artist and a decision-maker but Dame was overseeing the day to day...Biggs was just a figurehead

Fck Kev Lyles, Lyor Cohen and the rest of them for breaking up the Rocafella dynasty

Why it’s never said dame was making decisions without telling the other 2

It takes all three to vote on something


Let’s say your Jay and Biggs

At what point do the disrespectful actions dame does get to you?

It was said the other 2 had to put something in place for dame to stop spending the company’s money


Be honest when would you step in?

:camby:

Story is old and bullshyt. Dame fukked Biggs over after Rocafella. Then fukked over people who rocked with him @ DD172 or whatever his gallery curated creative outlet space was.

He lost everyone for a reason. You can't be a real logical human looking at that and conclude that other people are the reason for his demise. This goof was running around telling people saving is stupid blow your money. This forum could go back far enough to when Dame was a hero and the peoples champ. The facade fell apart like his grill. The fanbase got quiet. Retreading those old narratives now is useless. Dude had ample time to reinvent himself, "make another hov" and show he was sabotaged. He didn't. The end

It’s not all him

Jay dame and Biggs all fukked it up

Dame acts innocent that’s the issue

I remember watching Backstage at the theater. One scene I’ll never forget was Dame humiliating Kevin Liles. Kevin didn’t do anything but take the abuse and look down at his shoes.

Now I didn’t know anything about business or their relationship, I just remember feeling sorry for Kevin and thinking that I would never let someone talk to me like that.


I mean it was bad enough in real time, I can’t imagine how humiliating it was for Liles and Def Jam when Dame released the movie. They probably vowed to take him down after that.

That’s what people keep not wanting to admit


People will never forget that treatment right there

It might be a effort by all of those guys not to let dame do anything


Cam told a story that dame was at a meeting berating someone and he kept going

Meeting was over and that dude left the room and dame chased that dude around for 45 mins


That dude went elsewhere in the building and dame still chased him


Cam even said he leaves dame alone for 2 years at a time


That have to tell you a lot
