How about Ja on Drink Champs reminiscing on “Lansky” giving him a 5 figure monthly drug budget in his prime.

Great interview... If your only take away from this was that you think Lyor is a white supremacist please do not raise black or brown babies.
“Dame made millions, Bigg made millions
Ye made millions, Just made millions
Lyor made millions, Cam made millions”

They need more self-investment and information. Doesn't have to come from him. He's hiding his self-motives and shook new artists aren't seeking a White Daddy.

It's amazing how people will defend crooks who look like them. Dame Dash is a thief who fukked over artists and ruined his second chance at relevance by attempting to fukk over Curren$y, The Black Keys, and a few others. Yet this forum is full of people who defend him because he spits some pro black shyt and calls out non-white vultures. Stop falling for the okie doke. It's disgusting.
Cohen fukked over artists. Cohen doesn't care about positive messages, and instead wants the artists who create the most energy/attention/generate money. He's done a lot of suspect shyt. But you know what? So has nearly every exec in music. To be perfectly honest, in all my years in the music industry, the ONLY music heads/execs/managers/etc I can think of who nobody has bad shyt to say about today are Chris Lighty and Steve Rifkind. Everyone else...Puffy, Cohen, Iovine, Dre, Dame, ec etc....are compromised in some way. That doesn't mean they aren't smart, and in some cases brilliant. But like Nas said about Steve Stoute...some people only care about money and business. They will fukk you over if it benefits them. Just as Nas is still able to be friends and operate around Stoute....you can say the same about those other guys. I give them all their props. Cohen is brilliant. But watch him...

yep him and Stalley and State Property

Call me Dad
technically he said "i would say something to them and call them a junky and let them know it's liquid heroin"He said "u can't be a rapper and have a cup in front of me", yet here he is with Thug and Thug got a cup.
Notice he got a bottled water and Thug got a cup.
he surely didn't say, "i won't get that bread though"
so again... he gives it to you straight.. he's not a caseworker.. he'll say you fcking up, then proceed to get money... oh well nikka... YOU ARE NOT FAMILY AND FRIENDS... this is business.. y'all gotta stop asking these execs to be your daddy.

Lol ya nore was talking about how different their video budgets were when he was on Ja’s set once w liquor etc, and Ja was like you have no idea. During his hit streak they worked out a monthly budget for his weed, x, etc.. i wanna say 25k but it was one of the first episodes, It’s been a minute.

I haven't watched the interview only the clips online with CTG pressing him about this and I don't give a fukk about him mentoring the artists but I guess the top guys like MJ or whoever had that personal relationship with their execs so people think that's the way it should be.. IDK he don't seem no worse than Diddy, or master p or birdman or anyone else, like you said at the end of the day its business you responsible for your own life, no one quits smoking cigarettes let alone drugs until they themselves want to and are tired of it. the fans let these bitter artist shape their opinion of these guys
Lyor respresents institutional exploitation that does far more harm than individual actors. Yeah, it's messed up how Puff and others took advantage of their own. But again, they were institutionally backed and probably influenced.
