From Hypebeast comment section

THANKS! That's the comment I was looking for, I was hoping it wasn't deleted.

and he clearly did something to make it that he wasnt with roc a fella anymore after 1999- but time heals most wounds and clearly they on decent terms.

If you respected enuff for BIGGS & DAME to give you Roc chains-- imma give you a pass unless proven otherwise

Yeah he put in work, that's for sure, to get to where he is, that's why I respect him for the most part.

don't stand too close to that motherfukker*

People f*ck with Ben simply because he's been around hip-hop for a long time and was lucky enough to be involved with a few hip-hop legacies.

not to take away anything from dude but i generally dont like the forrest gump types that know everyone, been around for everything, etc...
every time the dude talks it seems like he always has something to prove or has a chip on his shoulder


"so I was just an intern right, but I told Jay that it would be cooler if he named it D'Evils instead of The Evils. Jay was like and the rest is history"

"We were chillin in Queensbridge... yeah, I was cool with Jungle and them at the time through my childhood friend The Alchemist - I used to play ball with him and hit up the Santa Monica boardwalk a lot - and Jungle was saying that his brother was recording a new album. Being that Illmatic was a classic I chimed in and suggested he did a sequel - that's how Stillmatic was born"

I've noticed Kanye albums are still being released through Roc-a-fella and so was MCHG I thought they label was over with? Does anyone wth some knowledge know what's going on?

By the way that rose gold chain is probably the best one I've ever seen. The roc always had the best logo to me

Ben Yang is cool in small doses...but somebody on Hypebeast exposed him really bad in an comment about his clothing line.

Sounds like a hater, if it wasn't his company why the hell would he work so hard for a small kickback when all the big costumers are his friends

Universal owns the name and they distribute both Kanye and Jay-z. I think it's either just
for fun or for the history books.

Jewelry is one of the easiest way to wash money.
There's really no way to appraise "the work" that went into a piece aside from raw stone prices.
Charge $100,000 for a chain that really costs $30,000, jewelers pocket some dough and kick back the rest of the $ to the customer back in cash under the table, etc.

Now I don't know if it's still going on but back in the days one of the largest corporate money laundering vehicles was advertising companies.
Mad corporate dudes created slush funds with kick back money from ad campaigns that supposedly cost X amount of Ms (cost for "creative direction") but really didn't.
Like, literally companies would compare kick back offers (on the low) from ad agencies when they did RFPs.

White collar scam game is on another level.




*edit: Art collecting world is also filled with scammers and slush fund creators. The same basic principle appiles here, too - arbitrary pricing system and diff. in book value and real cash transactions.

Yup.
Seriously though, behind every great fortune there's a crime. Just differences in risk/payout.
