Dame brought a lot of stuff on himself…

For one, he fumbled the whole Curren$y situation and ended up losing money behind it

Two, Dame was exhibiting signs of the “Loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room” syndrome. Who told him that it was a good idea to bark on folks in meetings?. Best believe when they got in position, they wanted to get revenge against Dame for mistreating them

Yes but did the industry conspire against him? We know Dame messed up but did forces conspire against him? We know his biggest downfall is not having a currency flow and relying on yesterday for a coin.

I didn't watch the video but I think maybe? But It's his own fault.

He seems to be a very obnoxious person. You can get away with being a POS if you're powerful or valuable but once you're expendible it's over

And that's what happened to Dame. Once people realized Jay didn't need him that was that

They did.

And they've admitted it, lol.

People who aren't in the industry don't understand. It's all relationships. Dame spent the better part of his career protecting people, and supporting people against the machine, but never got the same treatment in return. He doesn't play "the game". And anyone who's ever done business in music, knows if you don’t play the game, people will try to get you out. A lot of people turned their backs on dude because they needed to feed their families. Not because he did anyone dirty.

I remember being in meetings at Def Jam where people were literally joking about how they could get him out of the label. We also have to remember who's running these companies. It's not people from around the way, or even people from the culture. Erick Sermon said it best, he said he learned back in the 90's not to ever piss the wrong people off in the music business, because "even if you're right, they'll make you look wrong and make you the bad guy". Erick said Dreamworks tried to treat him like Dame Dash because he was yelling at white executives. They told him he couldn't come to the office anymore. Lyor and Doug both admitted that they felt Dame should be "moved out" of the business. Stoute said in interviews that he felt the same. This is what they do. Industry Rule # 4080.

There is multiple videos of Dame disrespecting people/ executives, interrupting meetings and threatening people etc...he did it to himself...some people just want to enjoy their day at work not deal with a loud ass doing it for cameras. Fukk em.
