Thanks. I'm kinda dumb for that question anyway since Ether dropped in the first week of December with no preview or sign of it anyway.

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Seems like this interview was right before he really took off as an icon..Dope

You don't even know what the phone call was about

Lyor might've set up some deal for Jay or whatever, Jay-z does shyt to maximize the profit of the business. Screaming at your partners who want to see you succeed cause that means more bread for them is probably not the right way to go. Jay and Lyor have been friends ever since they cut their business ties, meaning that he actually likes dude and sees him as some type of mentor. Dame could probably learn a thing or two if he actually listened to all the smart people that were at Def Jam back then.

Dame burned alot of bridge
Bcz of his attitude

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

He was playin his role, dude isn't dumb. You can't go into business with people and then decide to go against the grain, that's toxic.

He basically said ok just respect my mind and meet me halfway, no need to make the situation uncomfortable when it's a better way to go about it.

Knowing Camel, he probably did get on that flight.

 

[Wacky D]

I remember dame told a story about how lyor walked into the room and jay sat up in his chair saying something like 'hes the man. we gotta listen to him'.

something like that.

Facts

Dame is in showboating mode 24/7

You can't even have a conversation with Dame without shouting and lowkey insults

I would take anything Dame says post-ROC with a pinch of salt. Dude is incapable of reasoning and being objective.

He would spin anything to absolve his fukkery.

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

Google tells me that he occasionally flies commercially in (edit 07-2011), not overspending like these idiots. Meek and those dudes were flying private before their first album

Most wealthy men are extremely frugal
