@Mitch exactly, he could have been where Jay-Z did, but Dame felt that Jay was selling out, but he wasn't going to do the same! Look where it got Dame, no where! All of the artists on the Roc-a-Fella team, who didn't speak out negatively AGAINST Jay-Z they live comfortably, Jay paid their debts, put them to work as executives in his businesses & ventures! Like Jay said Tay stays at my house more than I be there, more than B. there! When his mom died I was there, when my nephew died he was there! He don't rap, produce, none of that. He is a LOYAL Friend/Brother to S. Carter & the carter household & businesses!! Jay took him with him from the street to being a millionaire(but nowhere near a $BILLY, that Jay-Z net worth is at(I think he is the only street pharmacist that came up like he did to be a L7 & 20 years later he is worth what he is worth and left the game in his rearview and never looked back, stayed LOYAL to the ppl that stayed LOYAL to him! DAME DASH YOU CAN BE THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE IN THE WORLD, YOU BROKE COMPARED TO RICH PEOPLE STANDARDS & WHERE YOUR COMMAS WAS AT! BUT, YOU WAS A EP ON THE ALBUM, "CAN'T KNOCK THE HUSTLE", SO YOU CAN'T KNOCK THAT MAN'S HUSTLE! DAME GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN & STOP BLAMING PPL FOR YOUR FINANCIAL TROUBLES OR BOOGIE ADDICTION(WHEN YOU BLAMED PEPA FOR HIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL CAUSE HE TOOK A SHOT OF LIQUOR AT HER PARTY(SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING)! GROWN UPS DON'T BLAME PPL FOR THEIR PROBLEMS, THEY HANDLE IT, THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! JAY WANTED TO TAKE YOU ON THE WAVE WITH HIM BUT DIDN'T CAUSE OF YOUR OWN SELF EGO, SO YOU GET LEFT BEHIND!!!!
@Terry Hill, he is a peasant compared to Jay & rich ppl standards. He is living off royalties from the Roc-a-Fella team, whenever the artist albums are downloaded, streamed & for ppl that order the physical copy of those albums. Also, from the couple of movies that Roc-a-Fella films made at the time. You see that Jay brought out Dame & Kareem, so only Jay can use any part of the Roc-a-Fella name(i.e...Roc Nation & other names)! You can always tell when an artist is in need of cash, they do Reality TV(Damon Dash on a show GUHH on WE! The show is for the children, but Dame makes sure that he is in every episode, to get that bag! Dame FUCKED UP, by giving Cam'Ron $10 million, made him a VP of the label w/o the other CEO(JAY-Z), ok about it! That's when they fell out & Jim Jones was the only Dip-Set major artist that Jay-Z wouldn't give a deal to! Atleast is wasn't like "RAPING YOU RECORDS CEO)! The artist all have their masters! Dame FUCKED the label & G-CODE of the STREETS(they were street niggas before anything else.
Homie, you have to realize, its part being in the right place at the right time, especially for Black Man. Steve, "JUST SO HAPPENED" to be in the right place to manage NAS with dropping his sophomore album "It Was Written" which turned out TO BE A CLASSIC and sold 4 Million plus copies. If he had never done that, trust me, he would not have been president of those companies at no age. Even his marketing success has to do with his connections to artist. Its more so luck and intelligence in tandem
team work makes the dream work. Oh its bad, 1 in 10 asians own a business, 1 in 34 whites, 1 in 54 hispanics and 1 in 108 BLACKS own a business. the key is people hire folks who look like them and that are referred to them.
Tight Pants CDC and also small business administration plus IRS.so they all lying. Come on now. Only 5 million koreans in USA its highly correct. Check stats before you check my comment.
Ericka Williams can’t find those stats. Also, where do you find this data that people hire people who look like them and are referred to them? My work places have never looked homogenous. Sounds a bit ignorant that you’re suggesting people stay segregated in the work place. Blacks only working with blacks, Asians with asians? It’s 2018.

i read that dudes book the Tanning of America and that guy is a genius he changed my whole perspective on not just marketing in rap but the hip hop culture in general. he is a genius and master at his craft and understands the finer points of hip hop and what it truley is outside of rap music
Folks dont know that down south we always loved Reebok. The G-Units and S. Carters did not revive the brand. It just established its brand more in the north.
How exactly was he executive of a few record companies before age 30? I bet that's an interesting story. If he has a biography published I'd be interested in reading it
B-Boys used to spend a lot of money on Delancy street, buying sheerlings, Kangols, Cazals, Adidas etc. It's only right that people started to figure out how to make some of that money themselves.
There is no way a business man an owner of a label is Broke like Dame.He still has plenty other incomes keeping his brand alive don’t believe everything online.
This is mad old. Dame was rich people broke. Not regular people broke. Big difference. And it’s very believable coming from someone who only ever wants to “put your own money up”.
I agree knowledge is power; but you could have all the knowledge in the world without the means to achieve "that" level. Just cuz you have knowledge doesnt mean you have the means; you need the knowledge and you need to be in a position to make the change. Some black people are in that position; but dont have knowledge to progress and some black people has the knowledge but not in the position to change anything.
This is the absolute truth I'm a man with knowledge but can get past this invisible block, I've tried everything in my own power to advance myself past my preesent living situation and i still haven't giving up on tryna reach beyond the star's.
once online payment mediums become more sophisticated, safer, easier and trendy- the music industry can pick up again. "being online" is the new "being on tv". learn from these new youtube artists' - thats my view on the future of the music industry's profitability.
Steve stoute wasn’t the first to do this. Run DMC were the FIRST rappers to have a deal with a fashion brand. They had trainers and tracksuits with Adidas in the 80s.
Yes,as Belize said,those companies would never endorse rappers for advertizing their product back then.I mean back in those days the most popular rap quote was "fuck the police" lol.To advertise threw NWA would mean you support that shit as they are representing you to their audiences.Marketing i almost like a partnership.Now a days hip hop has grown and appeals to every culture (not just blacks in the ghetto as it started) so it's easier to pitch the idea to these corperate companies.
@ 0:35 ............ WOW ,, they were saying "PAUSE" jokes back in 2011 ???,,,,,,, DAMN, that was a DECADE ago , lol...... And they still saying it today. I guess 2011 was when that term first started , I think it was either CAMRON or DAME DASH who invented the slang
He sellz what he haz for salez- to kidz who will buyz...if they don’t have their moneyz...they will beg their parentz...>>>because he (Steve Stout) knowz who hiz targeted customerz are...hip hop headz + their kidz- (notice the Z’s I used it less than 50x’z Naz that’s cool) - based on what he just said.
It wasnt popular interms of getting the likes of a Jay-Z/50 Cent to get huge endorsement deals w/ these major companies! Stoute was able to pull that off! That's what he means!

😆😆😂😂🤣🤣🤣
You can change careers when you got a few million stashed and residuals
LOL I thought that was Tim Hardaway talking about his son LMAO...803 in the building!
How can you be upset about who Dame Dash is? He's a guy who stands for the things he believes in. Isn't that being a real man?
Exactly. Niggas be hating HARD on Damon because his mentality alone is worth more than their whole life lol.
A real man learns from his mistakes and evolves. A fool keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.

seanpierpont right
thought I was the only one noticed...all these idiots making comments on everything else
He does in part 2...This is part 1 of the interview
Yo thx !! Saved me 7 minutes
Yes he does. This interview is broken up into 2 videos. He talks about Dame in part 2.
knowledge is born this guy is droppin heat
Broke is suggestive, I don't agreee with dame dash being broke. Bullshit
Michelle Denise dame dash is real broke baby
is a net worth of negative $2 million broke enough for you
Michelle Denise he is still executing his daily operation. This stoute suckaduck is A blood clot. Dame will always make mail,.

Michelle Denise man not broke. ( dash) hustlers never go broke.hes not begging.

Especially when your friends with the Zionists.

This dude dropping gems
Smart dude. I could listen to the guy talk for hours.
A lot has changed since this interview for TBC...
@minute 3:49 there it is!
People like Stephen are token shields for the executives. He loves his master more than the master love ls himself.
you said it well.....
🎯🎯 definitely agree he’s a snake he was Nas’s manager but running around trying to do business with hov that’s why dame didn’t want him around
3:38 that answer is wild

I don't about bout this guy , but the s carters and g-units sneakers were absolutely trash !
agree
+Mecha Soldier you kidding Me g unit sneakers was off the chain simple and pure
A.J Muller they both were the same shoe and overrated
S Carter's aka the Gucci knock off were nice. G units tho.. Trash can
Ahmed James trash???? Hahah them shoes was ugly as Fuck bro
This is funny, because years later he came back on, and said Dame Dash was right all along. Lmaoooooo
Stoute is such a intelligent man.
