I think its all good when this Dame is in those rooms advocating for you. Yea its harsh but fck them crackas, they didnt a f about them artists.

Now eventually Dame shoulda grew outta this approach but hey, Harlem gon Harlem

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
It's clear as day what happened to Dame. He never thought he'd see the same people on the way down that he did on the way up. Now that those people are in positions of power they're not very eager to give him a helping hand. Relationship management and effective communication are powerful tools. Dame never learned that.

Trust me these people deserve that.

I love it personally. :heh: I think we all wish we could snap at our employers like that. It’s carthatic.


But at the same time, you gotta expect those you humiliated to strike back and you better be prepared for the clap back.

If he was Jay Z he could have gotten away with his actions.

Nah I don’t think so


If Jay was like that it would be them trying to get him out the paint even more than they are now

Dame one of those nikkas that even if you got love for him you gotta keep him at a distance. He appears exhausting to be around all the time
Yup and if you don’t take his abuse he will fire it up even more


No one wants to answer this question


“Would you let dame talk to you any old kind of way? Remember he a boss

You can’t be a man and stand up for yourself since he built the roc

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

Biggs made millions, Ye made millions, Just made millions, Lyor made millions, Cam made millions, Dame would tell you if he wasn't in his feelings.

I'm dumbfounded that people are just realizing this is who Dame has always been. If you don't have the talent, you need to learn when to turn it off. Middle men get to big for they bridges sometimes.

I wouldn't be mad at Dame for regulating whomever when it comes to my career & my needs. He definitely spazzed on notable black execs but they can get it too if they seeing the vision.

If I know i'm not in the wrong, then hell no I'm not letting Dame spaz on me. If I mess up at work & management spazzes as long as they not disrespecting me, its whatever. If I'm doing what needs to be done & they wild on me, Im checking it right then & there.

The great artists that we loved growing up were getting Swindled and fleeced by the same people Dame was screaming on.

They will showcase this loud result but not all the mistreatment and mismanagement that provokes it. Same with every other case of a black man saying enough and shutting abuse down.

Karma got his ass good
And people can learn from him what not to do.

Dame is as toxic as 50 cent but 50 didn't blow all his money and kept it working for him. He got those early movie deals at a crucial time when his rap career cooled off. He would have been Dame right now otherwise. Both are toxic but 50 can make returns for his investors. Dame has no investors.

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.
Nobody took Dame down but Dame. His music ventured after Def Jam were not sabotage by anyone but himself.

Dame was known to shyt on everyone around him relentlessly.
