"Heres what alot of people dont understand,if you work for me and im the reason your children get to eat,im the reason your wife has a roof over her head,your really not the man of your house,Im the man of your house" dr. boyce watkins

''if you have a boss, you are calling another man daddy!" dame dash


you might not have like that dame 'yelled' at you, aka spoke like a real nikka from harlem but they said the same thing. its this shyt that proves yall discredit the message because you dont like the messenger.
:heh: at this shyt coming from Dame who's been nothing but a fake boss the whole time. I don't know what's worse, Dame having the gall to talk that dumb shyt or others eating it up.

Unless you're out here printing money up yourself other people are always the reason that you have food to eat, a roof over your head, blah blah blah. Being your own boss or owning your own business just means that you're not dependent on anyone else creating/providing an avenue for you to make money. It doesn't mean that you're making money completely independent of other people. Guess what? You can't have a business without...........customers/clientele. Everybody has other people to answer to.

"If your customers are the reason that your kids have food to eat, a roof over their head.........you might as well call them daddy/the man of your house"

Everybody isn't a boss and everybody can't be. You can't have employers unless there's employees. I'm all got black empowerment but we can't be so simplistic. I get and agree with the overall point just rhink that they go too far in trying to make it with those quotes.

Read the original thread from the booth and the posts about operating from the point of control and operating from under control.

Finally got around to watching this the other night.

Great interview with Boyce Watkins.

I couldn't help but think that Angela Yee was useless, though.

I'm only halfway into the interview, but Dr Boyce Watkins is basically saying what Dame said in a more articulate way. I like how most of the time the hosts tried to throw Dame under the bus, Watkins didn't fall for it. Like he said, Dame provides energy that is needed. The whole topic going viral is because of Dame Dash. I agree there are flaws in Dame's argument, but who doesn't have flaws? Dame is out there regardless of the outcome or how he comes off to others.

The hosts keep asking, "how do you get the money to be your own boss". In some ways, I feel that is a insincere question coming from them. A response to that is, "how do kids keep getting money for Jordans"? It's the mentality of a person that separates someone investing in themselves vs buying material goods. It's clear from this back and forth that some people are just cut out to be employees and some are better suited to be entrepreneurs. 99% of the underlying difference between the two people is FEAR. They might not want to admit it, but that's what it comes down to.

In the beginning stages of running a business, you almost become delusional because you're the only person that believes in your idea. Many people just don't have that self confidence. If you're going to do it, you have to be ok with the outcome of striking oil or failing. If you're scared to fail, you're better of just being an employee.

Their typical audience would be asking the same question. Its their job as a host to ask the questions the average person would ask. No need to disparage the hosts. Other than I totally agree with everything you said.

Dame said a lot of crazy things; he didn't advocate dealing drugs. C'mon, Envy...

You can get money to sell t-shirts with a regular job



The point is that dame got his 'startup money' from selling drugs.

But in the interview Dame completely avoided addressing that factor yet demanded an average joe to do it like he did it.
