Dame was uptight to a lot of people, can't be that way and expect everything to be peachy forever.

Yes, they did. Dame isn't/wasn't the ONLY megalomaniac a$$hole that barked on people. His peers and the entire generation before him all did the same thing...and the generations before that. However, Dame was one of the few that were on the artists' side against the powers that be, so he wasn't 100% for suits. Because of that, once they saw the opportunity to get him out of the game, they did so. Seemingly, he also had no mentor to side with him, unlike the others.

Facts Diddy was hitting people upside the head threatening to throw people off roofs and they didn’t get him out there, he would do all Dame did plus more yet everyone still did deals and kee-keed with him including Hov

I'm sorry homie. I just don't believe you. There's an interview when Mack is saying that Dame's name was all over his taxes that Mack didn't file himself.

I'm not saying he didn't do good for people but don't sit here and act like a dikkhead. Bleek even said the final straw for Hov was the plane incident with Bleek. That's just how it is with him. Same thing with Master P. If you're not doing things according to their vision, you're not doing it right, regardless of how successful you are.

That is called a fukkin hater.

I'm not on here trying to convince you of anything. You replied to me. I responded.

This is just how it was. Before people online started acting like they knew what was going on. There's a million interviews with Beans saying he would never speak poorly of Dame because he was the only one who helped him when he was down. Ones that could be found in seconds, but that doesn't fit the narrative. I get it. Bleek's house was in foreclosure and he was broke. Over the years, he always said Dame was a stand-up dude and helped him since day one. The minute Jay hired him and gave him bread to save his house, then his tune on Dame changed. So anyone who's looking at this objectively, can see what's going on.

Probably but it's better to be blackballed as an artist because your creativity can be excused as eccentric

As an executive - you've got to set emotions aside and operate long term

Dame is just not a good businessman at the end of the day.

He's a promoter and not even a really good one. He just had a tier-1 talent in Jay.

Once Jay understood the business, he had no need for him.

Dame had 20 years to prove his worth post-Jay. He didn't. Now he says he was blackballed to excuse his failure.

They had no reason to keep him around after Jay Jumped ship….

Damn could have started his own Cam and Dipset would have stayed and then he could have attracted other talent but Dame was so hurt by being snaked he couldn’t hold it together…

I mean let’s be honest Jay crushed Dame … Dame is not and will not ever get over it…
Jay didn’t jump ship tho. It’s like having a girl who you constantly disrespect, undermine, use her money to buy shyt without her permission, stuff y’all suppose to be partners on you take no input from her. Her family you openly disrespectful to them, but in reality she’s the one with the more secure job, stronger friendships and brighter future .

And then she leaves you and then you talk bout being betrayed and how she jumped ship lol

Bro, the only people talking sh*t about Dame are the same white execs and their stooges that Dame has been complaining about since the late 90's. Who's "literally everyone"?

No artists have ever said Dame did anything foul to them. No one on Roc ever got done dirty. Y'all gotta stop with the fronting on here, lol. You don’t like Dame, that's fine. But you're just making up sh*t.
Beans absolutely did say dame did him foul with state p clothing, did Jim foul using him during just trial only as a pawn to shyt on jay, and when he came home seeing that dame didn’t have any plans for him or shyt for him so he went back to jay.

Dame take roc a fella money to find the vodka, getting Jay to promote it only for it not to be a roc item but a fake item and no money went to Jay

Diddy is diddy and his success wasn’t tied to an artist, the artist success was tied to him.

Remember dame tried to follow the diddy route after dame and make a tv show and that shyt flopped and didn’t get pass a couple eps.

Putting all that money into them ugly ass shoes ect.

People talk about go against the machine and f the white man and all that but then when someone actually do it this is the support they get lol. Don't be loud in front of massa 😂

Dame Dash ain’t no freedom fighter for black rights fukk outta here with this false equivalency shyt.

Dame has conducted questionable/predatory business against his OWN people who had to run to the white justice system to get what was owed which is part of the reason why he’s in the predicament himself. Stealing from BLACK creatives. How about not paying child support and being a deadbeat to the BLACK kids HE created with multiple women, leaving a slew of broken homes that the white justice system had to correct and make sure were supported so they didn’t grow up in the same financial straits he did.

Dame ain’t Huey Newton. Hell he’s not even Barry Gordy. He’s a loudmouth nikka who 35 years ago lucked into meeting a once in a generation talented musician and talked his way into a business arrangement that took him from the hood to office building that ran a multimillion dollar record label. Then he talked his way OUT of all it and kept talking, talking, talking while everyone else was working, working, working. Its no secret that literally EVERYONE whose ever done business with him or was affiliated is doing better than him in life. Hell Kanye West’s crazy ass went “against” the machine several times and somehow managed to pay his taxes and arrange child support, and that nikka is legit certifiably INSANE.

All of Dame’s problems are Dame’s fault. The white man conspired against Fred Hampton. The white man conspired against Malcolm X. The white man conspired against Martin Luther King. The white man conspired against Stokely Carmichael. The white man didn’t conspire against a loudmouth clown from Harlem.
