Damon Dash CNN Business Report Teil 1

[jamaalknight]

Nobody wear rocawear no more they are wearing T. I. Clothing line AKOO.. I wear only GAP

[cubedmack]

Tax's is a mother fucker! Dame was rich but he wasn't wealthy. If he was wealthy He would have never had money issues. All that money he was getting he should have had it working for him. All of his money was going out the door because he was to flashy. Jay Z, Puffy and the rest of them are rich but they are not wealthy yet. They have to keep hustling to keep that money coming in to live their life style. If they stop hustling, they will go BK.

[urdynamix1]

Dame Should Open a College Course On "How To Make Money Coming From Tha Hood"......Jay-z Owes Half If Not All His Success To Dame Dash, Thats Why People Like Dame Will Always Be Successful. Broke?? Yeah Right.

[killerdemo]

you aint gotta like dame but you gotta respect his hustle(s)...

[Roklan2000]

Don't put you Name on clothes. Make a name and use that!

[jsc507]

I have always like him as a person and as a business man. I also like Jay-z as well. I think or I thought they worked very well together.

[rustyrus24]

[Antman1290]

[rapbenny]

Dame dash is a fuckin boss I need to work with this man hit me up u need to be your intern

[IIIIAONEIIII]

[oschino03]

dame dash does have a brilliant mind andhe is a humble individual he just likes class

[sezmane123]

That's right Dame Keep it moving!

[MakingMovesMajor]

Dame is a true hustler.

[tonythepony44]

Was this before he went broke? I'm guessing so. You would think he would keep a few million safe instead of investing everything.

[EveningGoDs]

With the drive he has he will never go broke there will always be steak on his table

[IconListening]

WHY IS HE EVEN ON CNN YOU KNOW HE HOOKED THIS UP CAUSE THE GUYS DOESNT EVEN HAVE ANY BUSNIESSES; NONE!

IM NOT A HATER IM JUST LOGICAL AND RATIONAL. THESE GUYS ARE GREEDY/ MONEY HUNGRY.

icon.

[IconListening]

EXACTLY, "I DONT THINK DAMON HAS A BUSNIESS RIGHT KNOW THAT IS FLURISHING; NOT THAT I KNOW OF" EXACTLY.

IM NOT A HATER BUT DAMON DASH IS SO SO ANNOYING THIS DUDE AND HIS SELF ADMITTED MONEY ADDICTION IS JUST RIDICULOUS. HE LIKE RUSSELLE SIMMIONS IS ALL WAYS TRYING TO SALE SOMETHING AND STILL SALES NOTHING, NOTHING. THESE GUYS ARE SO SO ANNOYING AND EVEN JAY Z SAID THAT.

icon.

[missjessica221]

dame will always have my respect

[jsko1124]

kanye 4 the nerds comment jus had me roolin

[dagr8rylz]

lol @ the commercials

[enzigenes]

One thing i respect bout dame is that he always pushed to be independent. Jay let the money come between them, its like choosing a girl over ur best friend. Dame was really the brains behind the empire. Dame will always have my respect. And lets set the record straight.... DAME IS FAR FROM BROKE,

[liljjjj]

@enzigenes  Best stament on this video!

[carmendecor]

@enzigenes ......People can kick his back in all they want Dame came from nothing and blew up to SOMETHING that tells me allot how he handle business.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes I hear ya....You say bankruptcy to people and they automatically think broke. To the financially savvy declaring bankruptcy is a strategice move necessary at times to avoid serious consequences. He lost the $ but didn't lose the brain that generates the $ so he's just fine. Better off than most of us...

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle Dame is too smart, he just recently bought back the rights to the rocafella brand. He's going to rebuild the label but make it more diverse. Mind you he owns the masters to Jayz Reasonable doubt album. Dame is about ownership, thats what i respect about him.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Word? I had no idea that he still owns Reasonable Doubt. I thought Jay did what he did so he could own all his masters....

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle You have to remember, Dame is the dude who discovered Jay z, hes the one who negotiated all the rocafella deals. They guy is a genius. He owns the masters of those recordings to reasonable doubt. That means if he wants to release a greatest hits album of Jayz he has the power to. As long as he has those assets, he'll never be broke. It's like owning property. Dame is the dude who told Kanye he can rap, he's the one who gave kanye a deal when other labels said he was wack.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Whoa! Now you talkin backwarsd information. Clark Kent brought Jay Z out. Jay gave up cuz he failed at it too many times already. He said fuck it I'm already rich off my street hustle. That's why on BP1 he says "Clark sought me out, made me believe." CK introduced him to Dame and that's when that started. They came 2gether as partners. Jay never wanted to be an artist because he knew the repercussions of that. Nobody believed in his talent except for Clark Kent @ that time...

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle Screw Clark Kent. Give Dame his credit homie. He made Jay, when u think of Jayz you think of Dame Dash hands down, Dame was the brains of the operation including biggs.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes OK now I can't fuck wit you. I was gon respond and almost agree. But now that you talkin reckless on the legend and the man that brought the 2 together to make it happen. If Jay Z gave him his due on arguably one of his greatest albums then who are you to just say screw that nigga? Biggs wasn't no brains of nuthin. He's the silent partner. You need to get on this side so you know how this industry works. Dame I give his credit too. Real talk can't take nadda from Dame. But you're off

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle Whatever dude, im not getting myself worked up over your so called industry topic. I cannot take away anything from what jayz has accomplished. At the end of the day i just think Dame is the true hustler. As long as he got those Reasonable Doubt masters he's in a good space forever. Jayz offered to give Dame back the Rocafella label in exchange for those masters. Dame declined like any genius would do. This is chess it's not checkers homie.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Yawn...Who doesn't know its chess? What kinda of boring rhetoric are you tellin me? Business is chess. No matter what business. Life is chess. No matter who's life. LOL. This is basic talk. Their both true hustlers. Jay had a harder transition into the corporate world because his hustle evolved off the street. Dame better be smart! He went to a private school! LOL.....

Dame is mad that Lyor opened his eyes! Remember Dame's outlandish spending?

[enzigenes]

Respond to this video... You're right, Clark Kent did play a part as far as making the connection, but Clark Kent wasn't the brains behind the success of rocafella. He's not the one who negotiated those deals, it was all Dame and his strategic business sense. Lyor Choen didn't like the fact Dame was to smart so he turned Jayz against him. In my eyes, that's was a sucker move on Jayz end, money should never come between friends. Everything happens for a reason though.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Being financially savvy is a combination of factors and strategic saving and knowing when to be frugal are necessary strategies. Dame went to private school and knew more than Jay on the corporate end and still went bankrupt! Jay came from being broke and once he got into the crack game and transitioned into entertainment has never been broke again since...you measure off favoritism and not the whole picture....its clear you like Dame. I like em both but I don't choose. I choose facts

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Dame may not be broke anymore but he had to declare bankruptsy. And that has nuthin to do with him and Jay parting ways. That has to do with his frivolous spending habits. He even fell for a heavy spender in Rachel and once that ran dry she dipped. LOL. What people sleep on is the fact Dame went ahead and made executive decisions without Jay when previously it was brought to the table. He waited till Jay took his 1st real vacay in years LOL. So who backstabbed 1st?

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes both men were responsible for feeding alot of people. So why would Dame fire Jay's some of Jay's personally chosen staff while he's away? When Jay came back it was like a whole other business situation arranged without him having any say. Dipset is there...his staff has been released from jobs that were bringing them income. Better get some deeper insider knowledge b4 you nut hug. If Lyor didnt wake Jay up it might've been more albums Dame owns...which brings me my next point...

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes If this is so chess and Dame wanted to own all of his masters too as he clearly showed then where's the betrayal people speak of? On Dame's side? I say tally a point up for both of em. Dame has Reasonable Doubts masters but Jay has the rest...and a happier life with a bomb ass wifey. Dame's life? Tragic. Lost Aaliyah, lost money, lost a partner/friend, lost respect, lost his current wifey (Rachel). Chess yes...but looks like Jay has the most pieces left on the board..... ;-)

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle Im not focusing on who has the best wife, who went bankrupt, who lost aaliyah, why should i focus on that??? All im saying i respect Dame for having the business sense he has. If you want to go deeper into these lives then be my guess. Im not concerned about the next mans wife and how he's living.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Chess is chess. Ya can't sweep part of the story under the rug. You can't separate part of the picture and then isolate what you want to show your favoritsm adn expect that to be viewed as fact. Either recognize the whole picture or recognize that you don't really know what you're talkin about....

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes I noticed how you clearly avoided all the dirt Dame did to Jay Z's family/friends/staff while on vacation and the executive decisions made in Jay's absence. Any business is destined for failure if you make any major moves without notifying the other partners/investors fool.....trust goes right out the window

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle Look dude, like i said i dont care about what personal problems them dudes had. I know all that was bad for business and sometimes people make bad decisions. I still respect dame as a brilliant dude, he's a motivator, a marketing genius, a branding expert, a entrepreneur. Dude is a hustler, you can't take that away from him. He held that flag at the Roc.

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes Ahem...held that flag along with Jay and Biggs. Without Jay's work ethic then Dame is pushing a mediocore artist and not the best. That's why I say you have to give em both their due equally. Look at what he's doin wit Curren$y. That niggas on fire right now. But Jay is above that lyrically. Dame woul have had to be a shitty ass business man to fail with an artist like Jay Z. When you into a business partnership everybody plays their role. Dame stepped outside of his and messed it up

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes He likes to talk about him not having an ego. Yet all his previous business encounters they have a story of Dame's ego pushing weight around at the war table. Now as this is chess I understand. But Dame was an emotional business man. Very bad quality. If he was really completely loyal and out for Jay's best interest the Roc would still stand and Lyor wouldn't have had to educate Jay because Dame being his partner/friend would have. The picture is clear no matter how ya wanna cloud it

[extrahustle]

@enzigenes secondly.....Kanye was the one who told himself he could rap. Dame heard him and was like yeh you got some heat there. Dame tried to tell Jay but Jay was like...stick to beats. One day they came in the studio and Kanye's 1st album was done!! Finito!! LOL. He embarassed them cuz he did that 1st album without any roc pushing. Dame was embarrassed and he presented him with the roc chain not Jay. He was looked at as only a producer.....Kanye was built from No I.D. and John Monopoly...CHI

[enzigenes]

@extrahustle My main point is when nobody believed in Kanye, Dame did. He went the extra mile and gave dude the confidence and prove to the world Kanye was not only a producer, he was hot artist as well. When Sway from MTV asked Kanye why did he chose not to stay with Dame, he frozed up on national TV and didn't say a word. He didn't know what to say. When that happened i lost all respect for Kanye as a person, it's not about talent.

[Rockstafeller]

@enzigenes this is just beyond fucked up. Jay-Z wouldnt even be here without Dame and he just let him go

[ThisLifeForever]

@enzigenes How can u say Jay let money come between them. When Dame said in this interview he loves money. "all money, it's all about the money, if it ain't about money than I don't want anything to do with it." Sounds like he let money come between them. And like Jay said (Lost Ones) "Heard you said you made Hov, so make another Hov." I meet dude - fuckin arrogant brick. Dude did a lot of ppls dirty when Da Rock was on top -- not so much now! Ha!

[slimithy12]

@ThisLifeForever he 's talking about business, he's a hustler. jay z had no loyalty and sold out dame not the other way round.

[firespinguy]

@enzigenes Well your comment was from a year ago, I guess your realized from all of Damon Dash multple foreclosures, backtaxes, money he owe banks and people, plus his wife divorcing him, that he really is broke...while Jay-Z is making more money

[josh5oneway]

@enzigenes - Hell yeah everybody think dame is broke! How in the hell is he broke and he was the CEO of rocafella and he still making money from ROCAWEAR so these niggas don't know wtf they talking about

[carmendecor]

@enzigenes I agree :-)

[MarcusGramm]

@enzigenes one thing u must understand that business and friendships never work out in the end bc when money is involved its always business no matter if you was friends... and if my friend didnt agree with my decisions as far as where i wanted to go with my career and getting the money "i" wanted , im sorry i would do whats best for me too..

[0001203000]
