The majority of people will get caught up in the most "clickable" aspects of the interview. But for the most part this was just 2 really self aware, smart men of colour, kicking knowledge. Really learned a lot.
I could listen to Dame talk for hours , he doesn’t do the fake laughs, the “umms”, small talk, ..he just drops gems & whether you catch them or not is up to you..he’s a man of principle and honor👌🏿
my Dad and his siblings lost their mom and dad when they were lil kids...He put himself through school created his own company and never mentioned he was an orphan. My mom filled me in about that side of his life more than he ever did. To him that was just part his life challenge he neve brags or tells me he had nothing, to me he seems like a man who had everything. Real Men are unstoppable.
Thats integrity my dad was very much the same a millionare that never went to school coukdnt read or write. Had to work a farm for his bro and sisters 9 of them as my nan died at 34. He never said nothing. I learnt integrity is a rare thing.

Recap by Tammy AI
Don’t believe everything people say. Nobody Black in the hood sells drugs to cope with the pain of losing someone. Just saying, you start to hustle because you see what all the hustlers had: cars, clothes, jewelry, women, big knots of money. That’s it!
Dame Dash interviews are like rocket fuel to go get what's yours....I swear it never fails. This man needs a podcast if anyone on the planet needs one.
I don't want people to get it twisted. Dame discovered Kanye, Jay Z, and Mike. I give 2Pac props alot of the time for making me famous. But, Dame is the one who discovered me on the streets of Philly and got me started in music with Livin in the City. Noone really knew me in music until California Love with Pac and Dre. My 5 best songs are probably Cali Love is what I wanted to call it but Dre thought California Love would be better for money and record sales. 2. Real Mf Gs with easy e 3. Livin in the City 4. This is How we do it Montell and Money. 5 Tipsy J Kwon and me.
To be honest I don’t think Dame will ever be happy until he gets jayz back or is more successful than jayz…. Which will never happen!!! Don’t let this fool y’all dame is not happy that’s why he comes off rude or not fully happy. I don’t like people like him he’s an asshole I see why nobody stuck around because he wants to be the boss of everything that’s why rockafella died. Jayz knew he was a better business man that’s why he wanted to get away from Dame. Dame is bad for business. He has a shitty attitude and he doesn’t see things from other people perspective.
@@jetoneshuford4405 like Kanye....Dame will never be happy period. Talent driven people rarely are until they find some sort of faith or something greater than acquiring
Dame Dash has his own types of podcasts and so much more in his own style all his own ways ... He is truly among the pioneers of content creating way before social media started calling it a thing.....
“If you can’t visualize winning, then you won’t win.” The interview is full of priceless wisdom but this right here- let the people know the truth dame! Brilliant man!
Its a shame the majority of people were controlled by the fear of covid, its the media that gets into peoples brains and brings on fear in people, there needs to be a real agenda against the media
I used to think Dame was the Greatest A-hole in Hip-Hop during the day's of Rock-A-Fella but he's actually a Soldier for Hip-Hop Culture and Black Economics. Salute to this brotha👊🏿
That was the narrative that was projected out to the audience. I thought the same thing. But I also seen the snake in Jay-Z. Dame is a man of honor and integrity you don't find that much these days
Can I be honest? This is the first one I have watched all the way through, start to finish. This guy is a diamond- so authentic, strong in his vulnerability and innately human. He is a king.
I watch Dame Dash religiously on RUclips and I must say this is his best interview. He never got upset and all he did was speak truth. The best thing is is that he’s not selfish with his knowledge he is Adamantly trying to teach it to all.
Nobody wanted to be Dame as a drug dealer …. This is why u can’t take Dame serious ….. Drug dealers would rather Be Jay z , Frank Lucas , Bumpy Johnson so idk who Dame learned from because he wants to be the center of attention & all eyes on him & that’s why Rocafella fell !!!!! But he also talks with a Con Man swag makes a lot a sense but not saying nothing
@@patricetutwiler4755 By your comment, suggests that you have no idea of the role Dame had in establishing Rocafella and partially being the reason Jay became successful. Drug dealers in the 80's 90's actually despised street rappers for documenting the game on record, it never aligned with their core principles like moving in silence. Frank Lucas was a known snitch and Bumpy did 10 years in the can. Only rappers want to be like those names mentioned.
Just now getting around to this... Dame is definition of someone who is ALIVE. There really is no space in between his reality and his dreams. He's literally living his dream. That's admirable. He's an honorable person and will go down in history as one of the realest people to ever touch the planet. Solid interview.
They portrayed Dame as a whiner, or a crybaby to be dismissive. But he seems to be a man of principle. He stood on principle, whether right or wrong. Maturation and growth is key.
There is nothing respectable with not caring about what other people think. And it's not admirable to stand by your position whether you're right or wrong. I know movies will make it sound profound, but it's not. You stand by your position, unless it's shown to be false or wrong. Then you alter your position.
Congratulations Steven 🎉 You managed to produce the BEST ‘Dame Dash’ interview EVER! Honestly, you managed to dissect Dame down to a point that I’ve never seen ANYBODY do before. It’s evident that Dame Dash is thick-skinned and very opinionated but thanks to you, I’ve finally seen a vulnerable side to Dame for the FIRST time. His interview on Drink Champs was my favourite but now it’s my 2nd favourite. You absolutely smashed it. This was pure execution. I’m a fan of your work and totally inspired. Keep up the GREATNESS! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As an artist this interview is like a kick in the ass to just let go and face whatever comes my way. Always was a fan of Dame but now I’m looking at him as the SOLE reason we even know who Jay and Ye are. Salute to the legend ✊🏿
@@chantellegreeneyes7596 I say sole reasn bc without Dame, Ye would've had to find another route to success. And he still would've but it's hard to imagine how different the story would be. Kanye my favorite artist too so im not saying that outta disrespect
Why don't they all do this from day 1... how can u remain real in a bunch of bs in the industry and not be involved??? "Object's in the mirror are closer then they appear"
I teared up watching this because Dame is so headstrong and he shows it’s ok to be. The fact that he still and will forever love Aaliyah after her passing is real true love. I still can see the hurt and live under those shades. Love is undeniable when it’s real! I wish I personally knew him because he’s the kind of person I’d need by my side. He’s the type friend I’d want next to me without a doubt. Much love to him and his family! Great interview!
Such a good interview. Every time I watch one of these I feel like I come away wiser than I was when I started it. Dame is a legend and it’s a shame him and Jay don’t talk anymore.
@@831bowl nigga shut the Fuck up he ain't never fell off he's still successful and still living life good he's very smart and hes a hustler he will never fall ..a nigga that knows and how to get it he will always have money he haves allot of business things you don't know shit about he dont have to be doing the rap shit plus he's been in movies got allot coming out and don't talk shit which you done know nothing obout stupid nigga if you don't know shit just shut the fuck up 😂
@@831bowl So what exactly do you have Compared to this Man he is a Leader and a Good Man please tell me what you have done in your life to even Compare to anything this Man ??? Please 🙏 One thing 🙏 I can't stand someone who has nothing talking shit about someone being Real
@@ericgaston113 I agree alot of his songs aren't even that good. He sold out and is backed by evil elites who control the media, etc., why he's always propped up everywhere and Dame didn't want to say much.
I love everything about Dame, but I have to really acknowledge Steven for challenging Dame and not letting himself be intimidated by him. A person with such a strong character can be difficult to interview, but Steven’s continuous curiosity, the way he maintains his goal of getting to know Dame despite Dame not always letting him too close is admirable and I think why Dame opens up and it becomes a very personal interview. In the beginning you sense that Dame is very much used to wearing the boss hat and being the one to set the tone, and doesn’t seem like the most inviting person always. But I really think that Steven manages to disarm him with his gentle and sincere passion and curiosity for wanting to get to know someones values and beliefs on a deeper level.
I will 1000% be coming back to this when I need a reminder that just unapologetically being yourself, sticking to your morals, and having integrity will get you FAR. Dame is by far one of the most polarizing figures in the culture and this conversation was NEEDED.
Yall weird u act like being unapologetically true yourself is something rare. I'm everybody as true to my self as this dude he ain't saying nothing new. Guess you gotta get to a certain age to realize it
@@tupaclove LOL I never acted like it was anything, I’m just stating a fact. I like his delivery and no matter how many times I hear it, I always learn something new!
Steven, you really showed your interviewing skills here, thank you for really getting the information out of Dame Dash, it seems challenging. Thank you for the value you provide to me and millions of others with this podcast, it has changed my life.
Dame is on fire here. He’s almost the epitome of what it means to be enlightened. Listening to him talk, you can tell he’s transcended the physical trappings of this world. The interviewer did an outstanding job by making it conversational. Both him and Dame came off very relatable and interesting as hell. This guy is so young….excellent work!
1:33:41 was one of the best parts of this interview. Everything Dame said was influential, but when Dame asked what makes you happy. The light, airy mood you could feel when receiving the answer is why people should do what they love. #priceless
Thats a good moment, but 31:40 is my personal favorite, because it gets to the heart of why most people don't pursue what makes them happy in the first place .
This was a great interview. Dame is the original G.O.A.T. I don’t care what anyone says his passion and determination is second to none. He speaks so many facts. 👏🏽 🩶
Yes I wish he was my father like dead ass.. he seems like a good person to be around a good leader, good morals, good values I don’t know my father, but I hope he was something like him
Hello Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
This man is purely brilliant! I am mind blown by his mindset, the way he sees life and how things work. This episode has been a masterpiece for me! Thank you!!x
This is the best interview from dame dash!!!! And the fact it reached 1 million views within 5 days is definitely showcases his influences. His authenticity, integrity and honesty is something I deeply admire!!! The way life challenged him from the loss of his mother, losing Aaliyah, losing a child, ending off a multimillion business, betrayal in friendships, businesses and being demonize/crucified by the industry and media etc. Seeing him still standing tall indicates that this man soul is unbreakable!!! I love the fact that he is still in love with LIFE!!! He still has dreams and living his best life regarding what people say!!! He went through almost every worse case scenario that life can offer and he is still here. He exposed the music industry and calling people out by their name in public!!! This man is fearless and bold!!! He is not perfect, but his flaws is what makes him honorable. He is a walking testimony of God’s strength!!! My take on this interview is too never compromise your soul!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
@Tadda Badda 1. By doing everything that isn’t in alignment with his soul. 2. By giving up his free will/free choice, sovereignty and independence to a system that would’ve enslave him and sealed his fate but also his family and future descendants!!! 3. Everything that goes against his honor(codes) morals, principles, divinity, integrity and sovereignty!!! And also his ancestral codes!!! 4. By obeying and agreeing with the industry agendas, protocols and standards to deceive, distract, infiltrate, and manipulate the minds and souls of the masses. 5. By giving up his human rights and basis needs. And trade them in for privileges like money, fame, entertainment, comfort and conveniences. 6. By going against his own Trinity( Mind, Body and Soul) Which will leave you fragmented, scattered, broken and disconnected from Source and Self!!! 7. To go against Source -> the Divine Mother, Divine Father and the Son 8. By having a Boss or a authority figure that rules over you!!! 9. Living into illusions or other people’s narratives!!! 10. By not living your truth!!! There are so many ways you can compromise your soul!!! But this are a few that are related to him.
@Tadda Badda the way you just decode that doesn’t even make sense. Not even on a logical level. Even from a Christianity point of view!!! Jesus can’t be the father. He is the Son aka SUN!!! The Divine Mother isn’t real?! Who do you think the pope prays to?! The black Madonna aka The Divine Mother!! The Mother gives lives!!! She gives birth. She is the creator. Just how your mother gave birth to you!!! She comes first!!! If you don’t believe me google the picture where the pope is praying to!! There was even a documentary on it!!! Did you even watch this interview where even Dame stated that the woman has to be GOD!!! Or even close to it!!! The fact you even stated that the body and soul are the same is not even correct. Your body is temporarily!!! Your soul is infinite!!! You can’t take your body when you die!!! Your soul continues existing after your body is dead. Come on now!!! Use your common sense!!! If you compromise in one area of the Trinity(mind-body-soul) you fall victim period!!! Everything is connected!!! See it as a circle ⭕️. If there is a break aka a disconnect in the circle itself the energy can’t flow!!! It stops!!!
The diversity of guests on this show is unmatched. Dame is another level. Sometimes you may not like the way he sees things. But he shoots straight from the hip, and its appreciated!!!
That's a brilliant analysis that not a lot of people can articulate -obviously- and more importantly, self-observe. "Our pain and heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world but then we read." [James Baldwin]
Growth is knowing that Dame is the real one and not the villain people like to think that he is. Knowing that his plan was for everyone to win, not just one! I always learn insight when I watch his interviews. This was a really good one
This man is a master of information. That’s why they separated him and Jay, he would have changed the way hip hop is being betrayed today. A true visionary…
I don't care who you are, where you from or what you do, anyone who has seen this will for sure relate to this in one way or the other, this is a life lesson. This is by far the best conversation i have ever listened too. Much appreciated.
As an independent artist I agree with Dame 100% on the word "signed". He's the only 1 I'll give an ear to when he speaks about ownership. He just makes sense. GOD bless you Dame for inspiring others to be their own boss. I do make other income besides music because music doesn't always have the same pay. But I love that I can create my music without anybody holding my art against me💯
This man is a loveable guy but he and his wife is damanaging our children with their appearance and rhetoric. Ancestors are rolling over with disgrace. Hope both change their ways to help their people.
Are you ready? The kingdom of Heaven is at hand, repent, receive and confess Jesus Christ as your personal saviour and Lord and you shall be saved! Time is short. This is the time to wake up and be born of God. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Jesus is coming! You may check out of this world at any time. Jesus loves you. Get ready! Jesus is King!
By far the best interview I have seen or heard from Dame Dash. No yelling, or code that you need to figure out. Just real talk that everyone can understand and be inspired by. Great job!
True story My brother I thought going to jail was the worst thing that could happen to me until I lost my wife but he's 100% right if nobody's sick and nobody's dying or nobody's going to jail you don't really have a problem
While that was a slick line, the #2 in the pencil designates the lead density 1 being the softest and 2 being a a balance of no smudging from soft lead and the ability to erase easily which harder leads don't erase so well
Wow, you can still see a lot of Dame's influence in Jay-Z - his attitude, his worldview and his lyrics. Such an interesting perspective, thank you for interviewing him.
Yes indeed. That saying is that you have to get to know someone for yourself to understand genuinely and see an individual. People have always pre-judged me from outer appearance and missed it. I was the total opposite of what they thought! At the same time, being a wildcard is a little exciting, lol.
Watched this interview twice. His wisdom, genius, business acumen and ethics as a man is highly commendable and worthy of being mimicked. Definitely misunderstood and ahead of his time. It’s easy to be misconstrued as cocky and arrogant when your humility is being threatened by the doubt of others. When you humbly tell somebody that you can do something and that person sternly doubts and underestimate you it’s hard not to stick your tongue out at him, Michael Jordan style, after an achievement and accomplishment. Salutes to Dame Dash. 🐐
I think this is the first full Dame Dash interview I've watched. It's down to Steven's interview style, calm and thought provoking. A great interview 👏 👍🏾 🙌 👌
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
This conversation has resonated to MY SOUL! I cannot thank you enough for asking Dame to come to your show. This man is inspiring! I loved this interview
The wisdom of this man is so pure and simple.Yet many actually will miss the messages. True old school format that displays class, importance of keeping your word, and tastefully agreeing to disagree. To this day I can only truly vibe with folks like Dame. Those who know what I mean can honestly relate.
I’m new to your channel and put off watching this interview for a few days now due to it’s length. I’m so glad I tuned in to this exceptional interview with Mr Dash. He’s quite a controversial character and when I last tuned in to him was on Growing Up Hip Hop where his strict and uncompromising treatment of his children often left me frustrated. I now have a greater respect for this man having gained true insight into him as a person. And respect to you for your level of professionalism in conducting an interview which clearly put Dame at ease👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dame has been called a visionary entrepreneur. He has always been true to himself and unapologetic. It must be hard for him to live in the shadow of the billionaires he built. You have to admire his resilience.
No he hasn't... he was a mainstream shill. That's how he got rich. *_REAL_* purveyors of *_actual_* hip hop are the ones who haven't gotten exposure or rich, and really stayed true to themselves and unapologetic. You have to admire _their_ resilience...
Respect to Mr Dash. I allowed myself to be misled about who he is....After this I recognize his ability to be a leader, his stubbornness is his blessing & curse!!!! SALUTE TO THE GENERAL FROM BROOKLYN COUNTY OF KINGS!!
This interview was hands down superb 👌 Dame, has always been a visionary who I feel is overlooked, under-rated, and misunderstood. Every time I hear him speak I walk away learning something new about entrepreneurship and being a boss. He dropped so many gems 💎 in this conversation!! #authentic I love his journey. Kudos Steven for a great chat.
He’ll never be put on a pedestal. N will always appear overlooked because he won’t sell out. When you sell out n lose your honor then they will promote you to that masses because they know you will do there bidding.
@@susanlindarice Thank you! She worked so hard to provide for 7 kids. We NEVER went without. She would wear rags for us and I was just a child but I will ALWAYS see my Mama as my hero. She took care of all the other neighborhood kids too. They all called her Mama. She'd say, if your hungry or need anythinglet me know. She would give me extra $ and food and give me clothes for my friends whom needed it. I was just a kid. She was Truly a God fearing woman and I NEVER heard her curse unless she was extremely mad. Which was a rare. I could write a book of how amazing and loving she was. She went through so much in life. I miss you, Mama. I love you so much. God bless you all. I'll see yall again.
I understand the betrayal Dame feels. I really do, he learned the person he believed in, encouraged, supported, stood by ultimately didn’t have his best interest at heart ( when Dame had Jay best interest) he ultimately showed Dame how he really felt about their friendship that’s why you don’t use the word friendship, sis, bro lightly.
I got glued to finish watching the interview when Dame, referred to how his teacher made him feel and would never allow anyone to make him feel embarrassed again. Great interview indeed!
Great video, I have never watched a interview with Dame and now I absolutely love his perspective on life. His morals, principles and honesty is so raw. He reminds me of myself. He's a positive soul with blunt communication that many may take offense. If you listen closely he's very passionate in his beliefs and what he stands for. I love it, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah I agree with you, Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
Yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate inves tment without a proper guidance of an ex pert can lead to greater loss
36:27 they do, just depends where you’re getting your education at. That’s the part that sucks, that it isn’t widely known knowledge, but my high school had a class called Consumer Math; it was a junior/senior year elective. It taught you everything you mentioned and then some. We learned how to budget, balance, all about APR’s, credit lines/scores, learned about doing taxes ourselves and opening businesses and how Gary Barbera was an alumni of our school and took his (my teacher’s) class before graduating and now has one of the most successful car dealerships in Philadelphia. The knowledge is out there, what it needs to be is a class in every school. Not just private schools.
There’s so much truth in the things this man says it’s overwhelming it makes you literally evaluate your own life and how you ended up where you are he is a true gem 💎 👑
@@muntupoetslegacy7760 Insinuating everyone is as needy and inferior, behind and on the wrong track as 'A dose of Denise' Podcast'. She obviously needs to evaluate her life, I can tell as she hasn't even learnt punctuation yet, which most British have by the age of 9 max. And her assuming everyone else is as pathetic as she is - is rude.
Went to an event hosted by Dame few years ago. I was there only through a friend…He promoted a lot of amazing artists, singers, dancers, painters, everyone! It was memorable seeing all these talented up and coming artists and Dame just supporting their visions. He appreciates art and artists was a beautiful experience to be there (onlooker)❤🙏. And he was just walking around like a normal guy. LA has amazing artist community he was their totally supporting and loving it. He’s real. I’ve been a lot of pop-us in LA but he made it about the artists.
So much wisdom in him. And he actually told a lot about Jay-Z without saying too much, and I can relate what Kanye metaphorically tried to say about Jay with what Dame says. I just learned so much for myself in this conversation
I’ve grown up with Dame in my life and have caught some great interviews with him but this one was meaningful. Thanks to both of you guys for this wealth of knowledge 🙏🏻
As a black American, I have always been a fan of Dame Dash. I often called him "The Harriet Tubman of Hip Hop." However, it is one thing that he often discredits and that is education. You do not have to spend years and go into debt to educate yourself. There are plenty of certifications you can obtain to acquire the knowledge required to succeed. One of them are the certifications offered by the International Business Training Association (IBTA). I know a young black business doctor. Dr. Corbin Smith. He is an Authorized Training Partner for this organization. He helped me receive one of these certifications and it was at a fraction of the cost and time of a college. Also, the certifications are backed by the United States Department of Labor, so they have validity.
There was 2 things that made me step down from my corporate job. 1. Not enough time with daughter 2. I couldn't allow these people to speak to me like they did. Best decision in my life. This man is wise.
It's been about a month. I got a bigger better place for me and my daughter. And it's changed my life. I opened up to my regional manager and just was honest. Told them it's hard being talked to like most the corporate people talked to me and that I never get to see my daughter. They actually gave me a position with someone nice. Lol. I learned if your a good worker and you have value most companies will hear tou out if you approach them the correct way. 💯
This was one of the best, if not the best interview that anyone has ever covered with Damon Dash. The interviewer is respectful, knowledgeable, allows Damon to actually SPEAK, and he is also quite classy!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤❤
What a powerhouse of a human being. I’ve never heard him speak before… Wow. What a mind. I’ve watched hundreds (maybe thousands) of podcasts with really brilliant people, and this man might be the most fascinating character of them all. He’s got a lot to teach. Aaliyah is one of the two celebrities, total strangers, that I genuinely mourned and shed tears for. She was the coolest, indeed. Now, I get what she saw in him.
Dame was one of the realest ceo in hip hop! And when he was getting large they went behind his back and his best friend Jay z did him dirty! Took almost everything he thought of made and funded with his own money!
I swear I love dame he always kept it real. I met him for the first time at 25w 39th St I was the security for that building .Dame very humble he was not stuck up at all,I have so much respect for him🙏❤️🙌❣️💙💗💓💙💓💙 he keeping it 💯💯💯💯
I've always felt smarter and talented more than those around me but when I was younger I would dumb myself down because being smart wasn't cool. I'm also a person with no family or support. People always told me ide be in prison or couldn't do what I wanted in life. After hearing it enough I believed it no matter how strong I was. I wish I had someone say these things to me. I'm a artist and I now look at things the way Dame does but I feel so trapped I don't know how to get out. Money can't buy happiness but it can allow you to reach your goals and not stress over eating or making it through the day. I think that has a lot to do with people not following their dreams. I know so many artist and talented people in prison including my father. I've managed to follow my dreams and not give up but it seems like no matter what I do I just can't seem to get there.bi take a step forward and something always sets me two steps back. I dont know what to do sometimes I feel cursed literally. My friends say it could be raining p___sy and get hit with a di$k. And I'm also loyal honest and treat people right. My past was flaud but I've paid my dues ten times over. I'll continue to push and at the very least my daughter won't be led to think the way I was taught to think. I will teach and support her to be who she deserves and wants to be.
Sounds like your struggle is not having clarity. You're an artist, so you have a basis, a foundation, which is more than most people have. Most people have no idea what their passion is, so just fall in line with a choice from a generic pool of options. Don't live your life following or chasing what you see in others. Trust in yourself & invest your energy in what works for you. Think in terms of the long game. You're not cursed, you're just stuck. Stop doing the same things and expecting different results. Organise yourself around a routine & simplify what you do with your time, You'll be fine. Define your goals and stick to it 💪
I honestly didn’t know anything about Dame Dash until this interview popped up. Now I’m simply in awe and motivated to face everything on. I watched the interview yesterday. It was full of those powerful little nuggets that I wanted to revisit again today.
Seriously, I've been sleeping on Dame. He's really insightful and has harnessed success. People like him are special. I took from him to believe in yourself and you can do whatever you desire.
I love the fact that Dame is an outspoken balanced person who was also fearless in his expressions-he’s just an overall warm personable person a storyteller for the world to see and hear

The majority of people will get caught up in the most "clickable" aspects of the interview. But for the most part this was just 2 really self aware, smart men of colour, kicking knowledge. Really learned a lot.
INCREDIBLE show fellas
great interview, learned a lot, surprised Dame signed off on the Thumbnail title, having said he didn't want to talk about Jay-Z
He didn’t build Kanye
He forgot to include his dealings with the devil for power and money. Aaliyah blood sacrifice...
I could listen to Dame talk for hours , he doesn’t do the fake laughs, the “umms”, small talk, ..he just drops gems & whether you catch them or not is up to you..he’s a man of principle and honor👌🏿
U not bs‼️
Are you serious ,he whines about Jay every interview ,time for Dame to be his own man
Lmmfao I hate "the umms" too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dame sounds hella intelligent to dumb niggas
@@nealgrignon4826 people ask him about jay and he simply responds lol
my Dad and his siblings lost their mom and dad when they were lil kids...He put himself through school created his own company and never mentioned he was an orphan. My mom filled me in about that side of his life more than he ever did. To him that was just part his life challenge he neve brags or tells me he had nothing, to me he seems like a man who had everything. Real Men are unstoppable.
Thats integrity my dad was very much the same a millionare that never went to school coukdnt read or write. Had to work a farm for his bro and sisters 9 of them as my nan died at 34. He never said nothing. I learnt integrity is a rare thing.
Every generation should strive to make it easier for the next. Enough said. Our parents are the last decent generation. God help us all

Wtf
I totally agree 💯💯
Just started the video but I agree with your comment already.

Nice! 🎉😊
Don’t believe everything people say. Nobody Black in the hood sells drugs to cope with the pain of losing someone. Just saying, you start to hustle because you see what all the hustlers had: cars, clothes, jewelry, women, big knots of money. That’s it!

Thank you.
Dame Dash interviews are like rocket fuel to go get what's yours....I swear it never fails. This man needs a podcast if anyone on the planet needs one.
I don't want people to get it twisted. Dame discovered Kanye, Jay Z, and Mike. I give 2Pac props alot of the time for making me famous. But, Dame is the one who discovered me on the streets of Philly and got me started in music with Livin in the City. Noone really knew me in music until California Love with Pac and Dre. My 5 best songs are probably Cali Love is what I wanted to call it but Dre thought California Love would be better for money and record sales. 2. Real Mf Gs with easy e 3. Livin in the City 4. This is How we do it Montell and Money. 5 Tipsy J Kwon and me.
Yes!!
To be honest I don’t think Dame will ever be happy until he gets jayz back or is more successful than jayz…. Which will never happen!!! Don’t let this fool y’all dame is not happy that’s why he comes off rude or not fully happy. I don’t like people like him he’s an asshole I see why nobody stuck around because he wants to be the boss of everything that’s why rockafella died. Jayz knew he was a better business man that’s why he wanted to get away from Dame. Dame is bad for business. He has a shitty attitude and he doesn’t see things from other people perspective.
@@jetoneshuford4405 like Kanye....Dame will never be happy period. Talent driven people rarely are until they find some sort of faith or something greater than acquiring
Dame Dash has his own types of podcasts and so much more in his own style all his own ways ... He is truly among the pioneers of content creating way before social media started calling it a thing.....
“If you can’t visualize winning, then you won’t win.” The interview is full of priceless wisdom but this right here- let the people know the truth dame! Brilliant man!
I had different view of D.Dash but now listening to him, he is very intelligent and he has wisdom out of this world

Timing is key ...
I used to think Dame was the Greatest A-hole in Hip-Hop during the day's of Rock-A-Fella but he's actually a Soldier for Hip-Hop Culture and Black Economics. Salute to this brotha👊🏿
That was the narrative that was projected out to the audience. I thought the same thing. But I also seen the snake in Jay-Z. Dame is a man of honor and integrity you don't find that much these days
He is lmfao. Y’all really be hating on specific people so much that y’all would deny that he’s an asshole just because
Can I be honest? This is the first one I have watched all the way through, start to finish. This guy is a diamond- so authentic, strong in his vulnerability and innately human. He is a king.

Troll is entitled to an opinion. The expression of it gives the chameleon its colours.
I watch Dame Dash religiously on RUclips and I must say this is his best interview. He never got upset and all he did was speak truth. The best thing is is that he’s not selfish with his knowledge he is Adamantly trying to teach it to all.
I 100% totally agree with you! Best commemt!!
🙌🏼💫💫💫💫
Nobody wanted to be Dame as a drug dealer …. This is why u can’t take Dame serious ….. Drug dealers would rather Be Jay z , Frank Lucas , Bumpy Johnson so idk who Dame learned from because he wants to be the center of attention & all eyes on him & that’s why Rocafella fell !!!!! But he also talks with a Con Man swag makes a lot a sense but not saying nothing
@@12bucklemyshew000
@@patricetutwiler4755 By your comment, suggests that you have no idea of the role Dame had in establishing Rocafella and partially being the reason Jay became successful. Drug dealers in the 80's 90's actually despised street rappers for documenting the game on record, it never aligned with their core principles like moving in silence. Frank Lucas was a known snitch and Bumpy did 10 years in the can. Only rappers want to be like those names mentioned.
Dame's emotional growth, intelligence, and emotional vulnerability is commendable. Salute
Just now getting around to this... Dame is definition of someone who is ALIVE. There really is no space in between his reality and his dreams. He's literally living his dream. That's admirable. He's an honorable person and will go down in history as one of the realest people to ever touch the planet. Solid interview.
They portrayed Dame as a whiner, or a crybaby to be dismissive. But he seems to be a man of principle. He stood on principle, whether right or wrong. Maturation and growth is key.
They always kick the best to the curb...
Agreed
Exactly. They can't do anything with additional sheep herders, only the sheep! Because of the need to be in control. Can't risk defiance!
There is nothing respectable with not caring about what other people think. And it's not admirable to stand by your position whether you're right or wrong. I know movies will make it sound profound, but it's not.
You stand by your position, unless it's shown to be false or wrong. Then you alter your position.
@@jasonspades1265 What was he proven wrong about?
Congratulations Steven 🎉 You managed to produce the BEST ‘Dame Dash’ interview EVER! Honestly, you managed to dissect Dame down to a point that I’ve never seen ANYBODY do before. It’s evident that Dame Dash is thick-skinned and very opinionated but thanks to you, I’ve finally seen a vulnerable side to Dame for the FIRST time.
His interview on Drink Champs was my favourite but now it’s my 2nd favourite. You absolutely smashed it. This was pure execution.
I’m a fan of your work and totally inspired. Keep up the GREATNESS! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Agree 💯 %
As an artist this interview is like a kick in the ass to just let go and face whatever comes my way. Always was a fan of Dame but now I’m looking at him as the SOLE reason we even know who Jay and Ye are. Salute to the legend ✊🏿
@@WaltFromTheFutureHe not the sole reason Kanye behind a lot of the tunes you know and love in hiphop and did not realise his beats and vision.

OKAY!!!! When he said nah...LETS TALK ABOUT YOU! You sold your freedom for money!!!!! epic!
I teared up watching this because Dame is so headstrong and he shows it’s ok to be. The fact that he still and will forever love Aaliyah after her passing is real true love. I still can see the hurt and live under those shades. Love is undeniable when it’s real! I wish I personally knew him because he’s the kind of person I’d need by my side. He’s the type friend I’d want next to me without a doubt. Much love to him and his family! Great interview!
Such a good interview. Every time I watch one of these I feel like I come away wiser than I was when I started it. Dame is a legend and it’s a shame him and Jay don’t talk anymore.

@@ericgaston113 I agree alot of his songs aren't even that good. He sold out and is backed by evil elites who control the media, etc., why he's always propped up everywhere and Dame didn't want to say much.
I love everything about Dame, but I have to really acknowledge Steven for challenging Dame and not letting himself be intimidated by him. A person with such a strong character can be difficult to interview, but Steven’s continuous curiosity, the way he maintains his goal of getting to know Dame despite Dame not always letting him too close is admirable and I think why Dame opens up and it becomes a very personal interview.
In the beginning you sense that Dame is very much used to wearing the boss hat and being the one to set the tone, and doesn’t seem like the most inviting person always. But I really think that Steven manages to disarm him with his gentle and sincere passion and curiosity for wanting to get to know someones values and beliefs on a deeper level.
He wasn’t intimidated he was in awe of him huge difference. He admires him and Dame still set the tone.
I will 1000% be coming back to this when I need a reminder that just unapologetically being yourself, sticking to your morals, and having integrity will get you FAR. Dame is by far one of the most polarizing figures in the culture and this conversation was NEEDED.
Totally agree! Yes, I will be coming back to this also!

Steven, you really showed your interviewing skills here, thank you for really getting the information out of Dame Dash, it seems challenging. Thank you for the value you provide to me and millions of others with this podcast, it has changed my life.
Dame is on fire here. He’s almost the epitome of what it means to be enlightened. Listening to him talk, you can tell he’s transcended the physical trappings of this world. The interviewer did an outstanding job by making it conversational. Both him and Dame came off very relatable and interesting as hell. This guy is so young….excellent work!
1:33:41 was one of the best parts of this interview. Everything Dame said was influential, but when Dame asked what makes you happy. The light, airy mood you could feel when receiving the answer is why people should do what they love. #priceless
Thats a good moment, but 31:40 is my personal favorite, because it gets to the heart of why most people don't pursue what makes them happy in the first place .
you are a blessing

Hello
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life.
Can we talk?
Yes we can talk, whenever you have the time

Best Dame Dash interview to date 100% fab job
This is the best interview from dame dash!!!! And the fact it reached 1 million views within 5 days is definitely showcases his influences. His authenticity, integrity and honesty is something I deeply admire!!!
The way life challenged him from the loss of his mother, losing Aaliyah, losing a child, ending off a multimillion business, betrayal in friendships, businesses and being demonize/crucified by the industry and media etc. Seeing him still standing tall indicates that this man soul is unbreakable!!! I love the fact that he is still in love with LIFE!!! He still has dreams and living his best life regarding what people say!!! He went through almost every worse case scenario that life can offer and he is still here. He exposed the music industry and calling people out by their name in public!!! This man is fearless and bold!!! He is not perfect, but his flaws is what makes him honorable. He is a walking testimony of God’s strength!!! My take on this interview is too never compromise your soul!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I love how you break it down respectfully!
Shut up U act like he's God or suntin
@@crystaldemease8252 thank you for your beautiful comment ❤️
@Tadda Badda
1. By doing everything that isn’t in alignment with his soul.
2. By giving up his free will/free choice, sovereignty and independence to a system that would’ve enslave him and sealed his fate but also his family and future descendants!!!
3. Everything that goes against his honor(codes) morals, principles, divinity, integrity and sovereignty!!! And also his ancestral codes!!!
4. By obeying and agreeing with the industry agendas, protocols and standards to deceive, distract, infiltrate, and manipulate the minds and souls of the masses.
5. By giving up his human rights and basis needs. And trade them in for privileges like money, fame, entertainment, comfort and conveniences.
6. By going against his own Trinity( Mind, Body and Soul)
Which will leave you fragmented, scattered, broken and disconnected from Source and Self!!!
7. To go against Source -> the Divine Mother, Divine Father and the Son
8. By having a Boss or a authority figure that rules over you!!!
9. Living into illusions or other people’s narratives!!!
10. By not living your truth!!!
There are so many ways you can compromise your soul!!! But this are a few that are related to him.
@Tadda Badda the way you just decode that doesn’t even make sense. Not even on a logical level. Even from a Christianity point of view!!! Jesus can’t be the father. He is the Son aka SUN!!!
The Divine Mother isn’t real?!
Who do you think the pope prays to?! The black Madonna aka The Divine Mother!! The Mother gives lives!!! She gives birth. She is the creator. Just how your mother gave birth to you!!! She comes first!!!
If you don’t believe me google the picture where the pope is praying to!! There was even a documentary on it!!!
Did you even watch this interview where even Dame stated that the woman has to be GOD!!! Or even close to it!!!
The fact you even stated that the body and soul are the same is not even correct.
Your body is temporarily!!! Your soul is infinite!!! You can’t take your body when you die!!!
Your soul continues existing after your body is dead.
Come on now!!! Use your common sense!!!
If you compromise in one area of the Trinity(mind-body-soul) you fall victim period!!! Everything is connected!!! See it as a circle ⭕️. If there is a break aka a disconnect in the circle itself the energy can’t flow!!! It stops!!!

As an independent artist I agree with Dame 100% on the word "signed". He's the only 1 I'll give an ear to when he speaks about ownership. He just makes sense. GOD bless you Dame for inspiring others to be their own boss. I do make other income besides music because music doesn't always have the same pay. But I love that I can create my music without anybody holding my art against me💯

True story My brother I thought going to jail was the worst thing that could happen to me until I lost my wife but he's 100% right if nobody's sick and nobody's dying or nobody's going to jail you don't really have a problem
Frfr
No.
Dame said schools make you feel like number 2. They even call pencils #2. This interview was absolutely stellar.
Hmm interesting..
Pencil is #2 because the pen is #1 the pen is mightier then the sword
Exactly Disrespect is a trigger to a lot of ppl especially when your passionate about where the disrespect is aimed at 👍🏾
While that was a slick line, the #2 in the pencil designates the lead density 1 being the softest and 2 being a a balance of no smudging from soft lead and the ability to erase easily which harder leads don't erase so well

Wow, you can still see a lot of Dame's influence in Jay-Z - his attitude, his worldview and his lyrics. Such an interesting perspective, thank you for interviewing him.
He actually not cocky he just confident in who he is and that’s a good thing ❤
Yes indeed. That saying is that you have to get to know someone for yourself to understand genuinely and see an individual. People have always pre-judged me from outer appearance and missed it. I was the total opposite of what they thought! At the same time, being a wildcard is a little exciting, lol.

Watched this interview twice. His wisdom, genius, business acumen and ethics as a man is highly commendable and worthy of being mimicked. Definitely misunderstood and ahead of his time.
It’s easy to be misconstrued as cocky and arrogant when your humility is being threatened by the doubt of others. When you humbly tell somebody that you can do something and that person sternly doubts and underestimate you it’s hard not to stick your tongue out at him, Michael Jordan style, after an achievement and accomplishment. Salutes to Dame Dash. 🐐

I’m new to your channel and put off watching this interview for a few days now due to it’s length. I’m so glad I tuned in to this exceptional interview with Mr Dash. He’s quite a controversial character and when I last tuned in to him was on Growing Up Hip Hop where his strict and uncompromising treatment of his children often left me frustrated. I now have a greater respect for this man having gained true insight into him as a person. And respect to you for your level of professionalism in conducting an interview which clearly put Dame at ease👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dame has been called a visionary entrepreneur. He has always been true to himself and unapologetic. It must be hard for him to live in the shadow of the billionaires he built. You have to admire his resilience.
Pseudo shadow..... pseudo self esteem.....leads to pseudo perceptions....
His fault
No he hasn't... he was a mainstream shill. That's how he got rich. *_REAL_* purveyors of *_actual_* hip hop are the ones who haven't gotten exposure or rich, and really stayed true to themselves and unapologetic. You have to admire _their_ resilience...
I don’t think he sold himself like they have done - and that probably gives him the peace that those billionaires don’t have.
It’s all in how you perceive things; I don’t see this man living in anyone’s shadow...
DAME IS THE GOAT !!! This the kind of confidence i aim to keep up!!!
Respect to Mr Dash. I allowed myself to be misled about who he is....After this I recognize his ability to be a leader, his stubbornness is his blessing & curse!!!! SALUTE TO THE GENERAL FROM BROOKLYN COUNTY OF KINGS!!
He's a Taurus
@@nophilter Ii know all about it my older brother 5/18
My husband 5/1- always on his own path.
Man, he's professionally describing the industry, he said everything Kanye wish he did but didn't, same exact thing, different words.
Finesse
I was thinking that
This interview was hands down superb 👌 Dame, has always been a visionary who I feel is overlooked, under-rated, and misunderstood. Every time I hear him speak I walk away learning something new about entrepreneurship and being a boss. He dropped so many gems 💎 in this conversation!! #authentic I love his journey. Kudos Steven for a great chat.
I concur I’m going to save this and listen to it for motivational uplift.
He’ll never be put on a pedestal. N will always appear overlooked because he won’t sell out. When you sell out n lose your honor then they will promote you to that masses because they know you will do there bidding.

Incredible interview! He’s soooo authentic and real! Wow! 🔥🔥🔥
He just gave me chills. My mama would say, nothing is as deep as death. Anything can be fixed but death. I love you and miss you mama.
ain,t that the truth good parents even when they struggling-lead from example-thats what kids need
I'm sure your Moma is watching over you
@@jille659 I'm crying so much. I needed to hear that. I would tell her your my love, my life , my bestfriend, my everything.
@@jille659 THANK YOU!
@@susanlindarice Thank you! She worked so hard to provide for 7 kids. We NEVER went without. She would wear rags for us and I was just a child but I will ALWAYS see my Mama as my hero. She took care of all the other neighborhood kids too. They all called her Mama. She'd say, if your hungry or need anythinglet me know. She would give me extra $ and food and give me clothes for my friends whom needed it. I was just a kid. She was Truly a God fearing woman and I NEVER heard her curse unless she was extremely mad. Which was a rare. I could write a book of how amazing and loving she was. She went through so much in life. I miss you, Mama. I love you so much. God bless you all. I'll see yall again.
I respect how even though he created a billion dollar situation with Jay z, and he walks away almost empty handed his resilience is commendable.
He’s richer than Jay Z because he is a man of principal
Ya but he still bitter stuck in the past
@just sayin nah you just a judas of ya family..all judas mental people side with jay...type of people sell out friends and family for money #judas
This what ye keeps talking about if Dame was one of those guys we can’t talk about they would have locked Jay z into a contract,
@@davidse4486 please explain this. Sorry I don’t understand, but this sounds interesting
This interview is distilled brilliance, and you actually give your guests room to speak, allowing them to get comfortable and share 🙏🏿
I understand the betrayal Dame feels. I really do, he learned the person he believed in, encouraged, supported, stood by ultimately didn’t have his best interest at heart ( when Dame had Jay best interest) he ultimately showed Dame how he really felt about their friendship that’s why you don’t use the word friendship, sis, bro lightly.
He did Jay and his artists dirty,
Jay left. Dame tried to hold on.
I heard motherf***ers saying they made Hov Made Hov say, "Okay, so make another Hov." N****s wasn't playing they day role
I got glued to finish watching the interview when Dame, referred to how his teacher made him feel and would never allow anyone to make him feel embarrassed again. Great interview indeed!
This is arguably Dame's best interview... He was very comfortable in this interview.
Great video, I have never watched a interview with Dame and now I absolutely love his perspective on life. His morals, principles and honesty is so raw. He reminds me of myself. He's a positive soul with blunt communication that many may take offense. If you listen closely he's very passionate in his beliefs and what he stands for. I love it, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah I agree with you, Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
Amen, thanks for your insights,

Yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate inves tment without a proper guidance of an ex pert can lead to greater loss
exactly! That's my main concern and what kind of investment can someone do with this increase economy turndown
Hello I'm new here, what exactly kind of investment are you talking about here, I'm really interested too
36:27 they do, just depends where you’re getting your education at. That’s the part that sucks, that it isn’t widely known knowledge, but my high school had a class called Consumer Math; it was a junior/senior year elective. It taught you everything you mentioned and then some. We learned how to budget, balance, all about APR’s, credit lines/scores, learned about doing taxes ourselves and opening businesses and how Gary Barbera was an alumni of our school and took his (my teacher’s) class before graduating and now has one of the most successful car dealerships in Philadelphia. The knowledge is out there, what it needs to be is a class in every school. Not just private schools.
There’s so much truth in the things this man says it’s overwhelming it makes you literally evaluate your own life and how you ended up where you are he is a true gem 💎 👑
It made YOU literally evaluate your life.
There are billions who are already sorted, so stop being so rude!!
@@NarcissistsPatient9752 Whats so rude about the comment?
@@muntupoetslegacy7760 Insinuating everyone is as needy and inferior, behind and on the wrong track as 'A dose of Denise' Podcast'.
She obviously needs to evaluate her life, I can tell as she hasn't even learnt punctuation yet, which most British have by the age of 9 max. And her assuming everyone else is as pathetic as she is - is rude.
@@NarcissistsPatient9752 wtf are you talking about?
@@alp.9672 Ah you won't have tha brain capacity to work out what I am taking about!
Not with the initial A.
Went to an event hosted by Dame few years ago. I was there only through a friend…He promoted a lot of amazing artists, singers, dancers, painters, everyone! It was memorable seeing all these talented up and coming artists and Dame just supporting their visions. He appreciates art and artists was a beautiful experience to be there (onlooker)❤🙏. And he was just walking around like a normal guy. LA has amazing artist community he was their totally supporting and loving it. He’s real. I’ve been a lot of pop-us in LA but he made it about the artists.
So much wisdom in him. And he actually told a lot about Jay-Z without saying too much, and I can relate what Kanye metaphorically tried to say about Jay with what Dame says. I just learned so much for myself in this conversation
Yea, i thought the same. Very interesting and enlightening.
@@BodyRibbonz lx
Th ank you
I’ve grown up with Dame in my life and have caught some great interviews with him but this one was meaningful. Thanks to both of you guys for this wealth of knowledge 🙏🏻
This is an incredible conversation! Anyone can learn so much from this
💯‼️
As a black American, I have always been a fan of Dame Dash. I often called him "The Harriet Tubman of Hip Hop." However, it is one thing that he often discredits and that is education. You do not have to spend years and go into debt to educate yourself. There are plenty of certifications you can obtain to acquire the knowledge required to succeed. One of them are the certifications offered by the International Business Training Association (IBTA). I know a young black business doctor. Dr. Corbin Smith. He is an Authorized Training Partner for this organization. He helped me receive one of these certifications and it was at a fraction of the cost and time of a college. Also, the certifications are backed by the United States Department of Labor, so they have validity.
You discounted the fact that black Americans aren’t taught these stuff in mass. We are sent garbage that other communities don’t get
Great knowledge of a opportunity to share. Work in higher ed and this is something I will promote to students I encounter.
He says that in one breath then the next breath he talks about his kids going to college. Lol so they are slave's
@@johnCollins-mk1bs great observation!
I can't wait to see the day Dame get ALL his flowers. Dame deserves it, given him what he's worth. #ripbabygirl
There was 2 things that made me step down from my corporate job. 1. Not enough time with daughter 2. I couldn't allow these people to speak to me like they did.
Best decision in my life.
This man is wise.
I literally just said this, this morning!!! Thank you.
@@executivewoman678 that amazing!!!
Amen so glad you did do what makes you happy.
It's been about a month.
I got a bigger better place for me and my daughter.
And it's changed my life. I opened up to my regional manager and just was honest. Told them it's hard being talked to like most the corporate people talked to me and that I never get to see my daughter. They actually gave me a position with someone nice. Lol. I learned if your a good worker and you have value most companies will hear tou out if you approach them the correct way. 💯
In 10 days, Dame Dash and Steven's video produced nearly 2 million views. That is a brilliant result and a fantastic interview.
I love watching Dame’s interviews. He stay dropping gems
Lol
This was one of the best, if not the best interview that anyone has ever covered with Damon Dash. The interviewer is respectful, knowledgeable, allows Damon to actually SPEAK, and he is also quite classy!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤❤
What a powerhouse of a human being. I’ve never heard him speak before… Wow. What a mind. I’ve watched hundreds (maybe thousands) of podcasts with really brilliant people, and this man might be the most fascinating character of them all. He’s got a lot to teach.
Aaliyah is one of the two celebrities, total strangers, that I genuinely mourned and shed tears for. She was the coolest, indeed. Now, I get what she saw in him.
I was trying to figure that out she saw something in him and fell in love with him I think and he fell for her bad.
@@janeknowles7654😮j😊
Dame was one of the realest ceo in hip hop! And when he was getting large they went behind his back and his best friend Jay z did him dirty! Took almost everything he thought of made and funded with his own money!
I fully understand this man
Dame is just so knowledgeable, literally everything he said / says makes you think deep! Such a brilliant chat! Thanks for sharing guys 🎉
Facts. Intelligent Man, with big ones and stands on everything he believes wrong or right. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Dame speaking straight up facts about how the world is programmed... so many gems in this interview man
I swear I love dame he always kept it real. I met him for the first time at 25w 39th St I was the security for that building .Dame very humble he was not stuck up at all,I have so much respect for him🙏❤️🙌❣️💙💗💓💙💓💙 he keeping it 💯💯💯💯
I've always felt smarter and talented more than those around me but when I was younger I would dumb myself down because being smart wasn't cool. I'm also a person with no family or support. People always told me ide be in prison or couldn't do what I wanted in life. After hearing it enough I believed it no matter how strong I was. I wish I had someone say these things to me. I'm a artist and I now look at things the way Dame does but I feel so trapped I don't know how to get out. Money can't buy happiness but it can allow you to reach your goals and not stress over eating or making it through the day. I think that has a lot to do with people not following their dreams. I know so many artist and talented people in prison including my father. I've managed to follow my dreams and not give up but it seems like no matter what I do I just can't seem to get there.bi take a step forward and something always sets me two steps back. I dont know what to do sometimes I feel cursed literally. My friends say it could be raining p___sy and get hit with a di$k. And I'm also loyal honest and treat people right. My past was flaud but I've paid my dues ten times over. I'll continue to push and at the very least my daughter won't be led to think the way I was taught to think. I will teach and support her to be who she deserves and wants to be.
Well you dumb for this long as comment .
WOW!!! You just practically described MY life!
Sounds like your struggle is not having clarity. You're an artist, so you have a basis, a foundation, which is more than most people have. Most people have no idea what their passion is, so just fall in line with a choice from a generic pool of options. Don't live your life following or chasing what you see in others. Trust in yourself & invest your energy in what works for you. Think in terms of the long game. You're not cursed, you're just stuck. Stop doing the same things and expecting different results. Organise yourself around a routine & simplify what you do with your time, You'll be fine. Define your goals and stick to it 💪
Islam is the answer.
@@notthatdeep6771 I totally agree with you. I wish I wish I knew which direction to even begin heading in. This person has a head start.
I honestly didn’t know anything about Dame Dash until this interview popped up. Now I’m simply in awe and motivated to face everything on. I watched the interview yesterday. It was full of those powerful little nuggets that I wanted to revisit again today.
😮 wow you have lost two decades of him
Seriously, I've been sleeping on Dame. He's really insightful and has harnessed success. People like him are special. I took from him to believe in yourself and you can do whatever you desire.
Our realities are what we make it! There's so many other Dame Dash's out there ppl!!
Has anyone here heard of Jay-Z? Aaliyah? Stacy Dash? Rocafella Records? Boogie?
Check out his Breakfast Club interview to get started and go from there.
Dame being as abrasive and passionate as ever. That’s what’s made him and what will continue to take him to new heights 🙌🏾
Such a great interview, nothing but gems throughout, learnt a lot👌
I love the fact that Dame is an outspoken balanced person who was also fearless in his expressions-he’s just an overall warm personable person a storyteller for the world to see and hear
