great interview, it reminds me of a david banner talking about social issues vs a cornel west or noam chomsky.

you don't need to be a Dr to know the shyt I'm talking about.I don't believe your username is Dr. jilla82 breh
You can learn damn near everything you need to know via books and the internet (plus trial and error).
That's part of the risk you take. What you're saying would be valid if Dame Dash was 95 years old and expected to die tomorrow, but he's not (And I hate how this argument is always centered around Dame instead of entrepreneurship in general, but I understand it). There are down times and there are up times. People fall down and get back up all of the time.... the people with the actual courage to try it. Dame clearly has that courage and belief in himself, that's not something that should be looked down upon, it should be applauded. And looking at the interview of his son, he clearly has passed something down even more valuable to his son, and that's the mentality of building for self and not going out here building for someone else... that mentality is invaluable.
The difference here is when the average employee loses their job, they sit around afraid and scared, and lose all of their money, and put in 1,000,000 job applications hoping someone will give them a job, and that's how you end up with all of these people who are on unemployment for months and months. A true hustler, if he goes broke or his company fails or whatever, picks himself up, wipes the dirt off, and goes at it again, smarter this time. Dame Dash was an integral part of building a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars again... that's somebody I'd bet on.
Now not everybody has the self-confidence to bet everything on themselves and that's cool, but I don't see how you can have anything but admiration for somebody who DOES hold that confidence.
I get what your saying (dapped your post
) but I think you are going on who Dame wants to be/represents vs. who he is. Dame has a hustler's ambition and I get that, but you can't only 
one hustle. Envy hustled too. He owns equity in the station, has money saved etc. Dame was frivolous with his money and now he is grasping at straws. Not all risks are worth the reward. TBH I'm working on starting my own business as well, but if someone told me about a path that was similar to Envy's results and a path that was similar to Dame's results, I would choose Envy. Dame mistakes "hustle" for "complete and utter independence regardless of the costs" which is silly. Envy hustles, works very hard, has a name outside of TBC and still has money. Dame was a huge part of a very large company and most of his associates are still making money. He's broke (in comparison). I wouldn't invest in that person
. I guess to me Dame is the guy who is losing the fight but still swinging wildly on principle. His corner is telling him to fight smarter but he is going for the knockout. What he taught his son is invaluable and I respect the heck out of Boogie
and his grind. But Envy seems like he is in a position to teach his children incredibly valuable lessons as well and show them tangible results of hard work instead of 
of the past.
I don't have a problem with that,but when a person does jumps in to blame black people as we are shytting on whites or talking about white supremacy,it can come off in a way that you are deflecting and a apologist....We don't know you so you may have good intentions,but like @Napolean said,maybe you lack the same tact you are upset at Dame for lacking
Boyce basically cosigned Dame but said in a nice and less judgemental/confrontational way,and lowkey it felt like BC was trying to convince Boyce to shyt on everything Dame was saying...instead of saying your not a man he talked about it lowering testosterone levels,and said the person who feeds you is the man
...In a round about way he kindve agreed with Dame but was diplomatic about it.

Nah you still gotta choose Dame
...Dames only problem is he was forced out of his envelope and field that he shines in because of how he talks to people,even when he was justified in being mad he lacked tact......I don't see him not having oppurtunities to still be a big deal in music and use that to create oppurtunities from that if not for the history of his mouth....You should just learn from Dame if you don't know how to talk to people during a dispute you need to hire a clean up man....Dame was Jays cleanup man but apparently he needed someone he could tell his complaints to,who would've been the fall guy for him so he wasn't the bad angry guy all the time
.Nah you still gotta choose Dame
I can only base it on results. I look at Irv Gotti
same type of dude in the videos. Backed an artist not even close to as successful, and is still making lowkey moves. Dame was responsible for millions of dollars and continuously dropped the ball (how he isn't caked off from just the Rocawear deal is 
but he ended up owing everything to taxes). He has a good spirit, but he isn't a great entrepreneur and it's clear that the good about Dame's mentality was outshined by his many mistakes. Nobody is checking for his movie, his clothes, his art gallery, his motor oil, his several music labels since 
. I admire the heck out of his mentality but if it's so easy to flip it and make it and hustle to the top, what's taking him so long to do it again?
