Lyor Cohen on The Breakfast Club: Talks Migos Issues with 300 Ent, Kanye West + more!

[IAMDetroit]

So why was Russell doing co-ownership deals with rappers at Def Jam instead of signing them?

I don't think all are the same, but I also think black execs fukk just as many or more than these jews. We gonna act like the black execs are Jesus now? In business your job is to maximize the profit for your owners. I.e. black execs are not dumber than the European or Asian ones.

That man said nothing about black owners.

I’ve come to conclusion that Lyor supporters are praising his ability to keep his ******s in check while giving them the least amount of incentive (none).

I want people to pay close attention to all the people who are co-signing/justifying this blatantly predatory/racist behavior.

If you dig a bit deeper, you will see that some of these same posters co-signed the NFL’s discriminatory collusion against Kaepernick as a “sound business decision.”

Search “Lyor Cohen” on other blatantly discriminatory forums and sites (KTT, Bowden) and you will see that the overwhelming praise for Lyor is coming from nonblacks while they ridicule the black posters who make obvious observations about his predatory tactics.

They also always point out how black execs do the same thing too () even though every single black exec on a major has to answer to CAC before they make any final decisions.

Stay woke my bredren. More of us need to speak if even just to give encouragement to the ones who scared too.

You think they’re balling now? Just think where Dame, Jay, Dre, Gotti, P Diddy and Master P would be if they all pushed for executive ownership as well as independent (Fortune 500 black owned) distribution.

Can you think of anyone that has independent distribution?

Russell Simmons is the vessel that empowered Lyor Cohen, Rick Rubin, Julie Greenwald, Todd Moscowitz
and Craig Kallman.

remember master P pushed for distribution. these other bruhs were afraid to hop in with him. because to setup distribution pre internet would take you decades. sure racism, etc. but lets take that out for a moment. you have a group of people that have had to build up their distribution pipelines since records were first sold til today. do you think for a minute they are going to help you or move over to make it easier for a master p to come in and do what they've been doing for decades? hell no. so that means its going to be a tough up hill battle and one man can't do that alone. he needed all those dudes you named. oh by the way, Jigga man does own a portion of tidal, and so do some of the artists on Tidal. late? yep but better late than never.

What could have happened if P and these other dudes would've put their heads together and some how some way some black tech person would've put them up on what was going on with napster and that internet wave for music/entertainment. The black big money rappers/execs would've moved into that arena before all the other people(apple, spotify, etc.) They could've had it on lock early in the game and made everyone else come thru them because now its a new way to distribute. we dont need the old guards anymore. so you can't block that new way. you start pushing artist after major artist 100% digital on your own site and nowhere else. but to do that some artists would have to take a paycut early to reap the benefits later. not many would be down for that. thats like telling the nba players to deal with a long Lockout so they can get their true worth.

When your white you don't have to be smart.
nikkas have been brainwashed to feel the white man knows what the hell he is talking about automatically
They wanted to get Jay away from Dame so bad

all this is true. but there is some truth to their relationship being strained without lyor's involvement. it's like some new chick comes around because your friend introduces you to her because he doesnt like your current chick you've been with for 5 years solid. but if you roll with the new chick like that odds are you were on the outs with the original for awhile now. if not, yall would not have broken up. dame thought it was a marriage. Jay thought it was a cool little dating thing. two different dudes, two different people. the way dame makes moves is not the way jay makes moves financially speaking. and i'm not siding with either on who's the better move maker. jay has a talent that dame can't monetize on his own. so thats one reason for jay being up while dame is down at the moment. its not all due to dame having made bad business decisions.

he didnt empower rick. they came up together at the same time when it came to official def jam. if you want to be mad at a brother for putting rick on you have look at someone else. read below

Def Jam Records launched by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin

Go back to 1983 and Rick Rubin is a 20-year-old, heavy-set, heavy-metal head from a Jewish Long Island neighbourhood. He fancies himself a musician and forms a high-school punk band calling themselves the Pricks, but Rubin's musical skills are notable mostly by their absence. He transplants to New York City, initially studying philosophy at NYU, and befriends Jazzy Jay, a prominent DJ in Afrika Bambaataa's Zulu Nation, who teaches him the basics of hip-hop production. Rubin borrows a little cash from his wealthy parents and together he and Jay produce It's Yours for rapper T La Rock. It's the first release on Def Jam (though distributed by Arthur Baker's Streetwise label) and it sells in its thousands from the nascent company's first office – Rubin's Greenwich Village dorm room.

Simmons, meanwhile, is a 26-year-old former dope dealer from Queens turned hip-hop impresario, arguably at a time before the industry merited such a thing. He's putting on block parties in Harlem and managing the likes of Kurtis Blow and Run DMC, the band that included, of course, his younger brother, Joseph "Run" Simmons.

Jay introduces Rubin to Simmons at Danceteria, the legendary Manhattan nightclub then on 21st Street, where rock kids, new wave hipsters and B-boys mix side by side. Simmons is impressed by Rubin's ear for a hit record, Rubin by the older man's evident street smarts and business savvy. Investing a few thousand dollars each, Def Jam proper is born. The first official release (with a Def Jam catalogue number) is LL Cool J's I Need a Beat, after the 16-year-old mails a demo to the NYU dorm. It's written by LL, Rubin and a friend of Rubin's called Adam Horovitz, then part of a thrash punk outfit called the Beastie Boys. It sells more than 100,000 copies and within a year Simmons has cut a distribution deal with major label, Columbia (the first of its kind in hip-hop).

What this actually symbolizes is what black people and white people are capable of if white people cut out that cism and bullsh.... because we're strong enough to overcome the streets that you put us in. all we need is a shot and the right team its on after that.
