Dame is supposed to be on the Forbes next too

Hov
Puff
Dre

He most definitely not where he want to be. Whether he admits or not. Dude was confronting Gay directors on camera for his bread. He most definitely not where he wants to be. Dame should be in hundreds of millions.


Dame is linked to jay so it makes it different and all the ceo’s You mentioned have a bigger brand due to the fact that they are artists. Rich Paul is linked to Lebron but if they were to go their separate ways who you think would have more opportunities and leverage ?

You’re right dame isn’t where he probably imagined himself being. Dame had a vision that him his circle would be at the top of the food chain and beyond these labels.

Puff and jay now starting to think like this while someone like Lebron peeped game early seen what the roc did and took it to a next level.

Few things:

1) His spazzing at way too many influential people in the biz, including Lyor, Kevin Liles, Mike Kyser, Julie Greenwald, Todd Moscowitz, Joey IE, Steve Stoute... basically blackballed him from music forever

2) He ruined his relationships with Kevin Hart, Floyd Mayweather, almost every major person in film, etc. due to all the spazzing out he did

3) Child support cases - the main reason he's never in NY now

4) Handling too many business ventures at once ruined the Roc. Took money from people's projects, Jay's $, etc.

He's in a better place now, but he should be a $100 million man by now.

Dame kept that shyt G and ain't never compromise himself nor his principles for no damn currency.

That's a man. And a stand up nikka at that for wat it was that he was fighting for, I will always respect dude over Jay for that. And I say that as a fan of dudes discography (Blueprint my favorite album ever) but from a distance he strike me as the type that'll shapeshift and do anything necessary for a dollar....u cant trust no nikka like that. Ain't no solid foundation wit em. A 48 laws of power absorbing m'fer.

Salute to Dame man . An inspiration truly :salute:

It was Christmas time, couldn't sit down to answer that question. Honestly I'm not the person qualified to answer that question...I just understand that if the bold is true it's because Dame wasn't giving the circle the motivation to follow his vision, and a lot of the times that happens because the people with the vision don't want to either work (meaning they delegate everything and shout at people when things don't go their way, so it's never their failure) or to allow things to move smoothly (they restrict everybody's movement because of their need for control).

Dame's a self proclaimed BOSS. But in life the real BOSS is always the one who's a servant to everybody else in the team. The one who's always paying attention to who's upset/disgruntled, the one making sure everybody's good, and the one who scouts whoever becomes a threat to the vision.

He didn't go wrong...
I think ppl are looking at it from the mainstream point of view...
Like why isn't he doing jayz type shyt?
Jayz is a sucka nikka... Who will probly kiss the devil to be a billionaire, same as his wife.
Dame was and is about empowering his own ppl and making sure all of his ppl are eating.
Ppl are talking about the bridges he burned and his brashness... If anyone of y'all know anything about being black and be running a business. Ud know that these muthafukaz are always trying to snake you. I won't say it's just because ur black, that's just how business is... But it don't help that ur black.
These ppl that he use to go hard on were those who were trying to do snake shyt and undermine his business. The business that helped propel artist like jayz.
The real title of this thread should be, where did jayz go wrong

life in the underbelly
Rockafella went wrong when Jay Z decided to conduct business behind Dame's back .
Right! I don't like how he did his mans and them during that whole Def Jam debacle. That man from Marcy is a hybrid of a mole rat and a snake. I too would feel some kind of way if my money making machine malfunctioned on me.
