WHAT??? :what:

Are we listening to the same interview?

Dude didn't say anything.

He baffled nikkas with words then had ya'll all mesmerized.

you a certified clown b

this entire interview is talking about how to make blacks folks money. I will never hate on that.

the stuff he said about how older heads were like "I'm black, those are nikkas...we ain't letting them in" is true. He said he trying to leave the door open for all black folks to come through and challenge even him. How anyone can hate on Stout's interview is crazy.

That stuff he stated about Puff/Revolt is mad real. This is the next level & just how he's in the industry and making moves and not being a rapper or baller but business savvy and putting the VH1 series together to show the influence and accomplishments of Rap is a great thing.

These are the type of things we should get behind and stop frontin :stopitslime:

:lolbron: @ people getting :umad: over Stoute

I knew he orchestrated the Reebok deal for Jay but I didnt know he brought 50 over there too.

Honestly though, he's probably responsible a lot for rappers getting endorsements from mainstream corporations and if he didnt he certainly influenced and created a Blueprint. Everyone talks about Puffy, Jay, Dame etc but Stoute has been right there since the early 90s with LL and Nas.

I understand the fans who hate him cause he brought Trackmasters into the game and pretty much was instrumental in shaping an album that formed the Jiggy vs Backpack era in New York. But at the same time, its like 10 years later his moves with getting rappers over to Reebok got respected and then became all about being a business person. Like its funny how the conversation in Hip Hop circles went from being about not selling out to looking down on rappers who didnt expand their brand 10 years later. Jay obviously played a part in that narrative changing but that was because Stoute had laced him after Dame.

That's why I find it that 50 fans getting mad at dude, he pretty much influenced 50 to fukk with corporate america off that Reebok deal. Like you heard the Flex interview, 50 started it by expressing a dislike and its obvious they did business and once again, for a businessman dude sure doesnt seem to be aware about burning bridges.

He says that Kanye is above any criticism because he's made so many people in hip hop rich, then proceeds to sh1t on 50 Cent for 5 minutes straight..

:lolbron:

I've never heard this guy say anything even remotely inciteful or enlightening but he's gotta know what he's doing...He saying the right things to the people that want to hear it....Track record don't lie...

stoute is like larry bird to me. nothing flashy (in comparison) like magic or Jordan, but he's just fundamentally sound. like the best thing he's ever said is that the deals he makes have to make sense, then everything else will follow. seems arbitrary, but its so right. a magic no look is high risk, but in the end a larry bird two hand bounce pass gets you the same dime. a Jordan dunk will wow you, but a bird jump shot will get you the same 2 points (maybe 3). nothing he does is breath taking, except for the fact that somehow he got these white people's ear and imagination allowing his opinion to matter. he's also consistently taking and making the right deals. that's the mystique behind him, to me.

Sounds like you werent listening and just went off of Charlamange's reaction. He didnt answer Charlamagne perfectly....but he answered the question, "Why shouldnt a white person use the nword"

only thing I disagreed with Stoute about was his analysis of the Kanye/Fashion thing

He equated it to him being from the Chi trying to get put on in NY market of rap.

Well thing is, Kanye played his position and worked his way up. Nygga ghost produced for DDot and everything. with the fashion thing, he just screaming at the top of his lungs, IM KANYE. Y'all have to let me in the fashion world. big difference

this isn't about 'blacks" making money.

Stoute makes money by taking black artists and pimping their image to OTHER blacks.

Do you not see the nuance here?

How is encouraging the black community to buy GUnit Sneakers and buy Hennessy helping the black community?
