As somebody who was born and raised in Zimbabwe in Africa..I am so glad that finally someone can at least teach the Americans what we have known for a very long time...The money system is a foreign and artificial concept that was created by white people...Most Africans have always known that you live off the land..and also you develop skills that can help you to be self sufficient.. But if you ever needed something else you can always use barter trade with your neighbours... This had been our way of living until the white man came to ruin us with a barrel of a gun.
tapiwa musiiwa That would be practically impossible for most Americans to d today.. without forgoing their current lifestyle. How would you pay for Gas, Electricity etc? A new Car?
To everyone saying Dame is contradicting himself based off things he said or did in THE PAST, ya'll are clearly not listening to the interview, nor do you have any sense. Just because a person was one way BEFORE does not mean they can't learn, grow and CHANGE. He clearly said that Farrakhan taught him some things about health and farming. That makes it obvious he learned things he didn't know before. People just want to be negative all the time and its just ignorant.
reasy1978 you commented 3 years ago. It’s now 2019. Dame is not farming. He is trying to launch a network. He said he wants a billion for a football team. Dudes a fake.
My grandmother is 89, smoked the first 45 years of her life, never exercised, eats candy daily, eats everything on a pig, fries everything, eats butter on everything, pours a ton of sugar and cream on cereal and eats everything that has so-called GMO' s and never buys organic. She still drives and never had any major health problems. On the other hand, Steve Jobs, a life long vegetarian, died at 56 of cancer. Eat what you want but eat in moderation. My grandmother, although she doesn't eat healthy, she eats small amounts of food and has never been obese.
your Ganda is the exception. take 10 people, feed them your grandma's diet. like 2 may reach longevity. The rest will fall by the waist side. Is your grandmother big and fat?
171TITO take 10 people and feed them a "healthy" vagan diet and I bet some of them fall by the wayside too over time....like Steve Jobs, Barry Gibb, etc, etc
+CycleCruza, We obviously wish your GrandMother many more years, but Steve Jobs is a poor example to attempt to illustrate that a healthier diet may not help you live a longer life. You don't know what Jobs' family or medical history was (as it pertains to cancer or anything else). Furthermore, you don't know if he was doing something else in his lifestyle that may have predisposed him to cancer. BOTTOMLINE (as a science & health-care graduate from one of the best universities in AmeriKKKa)... If your GrandMa is predisposed to having a long life (in other words - if she has good genes), then she's shortening her lifespan on earth by indulging in those unhealthy behaviors.
We must learn FARMING. My family in Jamaica owned land and farmed yet in her mind this was called POOR living. Such a horrible mentality. Bless her departed heart.
Funny thing about Dames interviews is that he goes on these long *tangents* at times, and then at other times drops pure gems on knowledge. So its *EASY* for people to discount *EVERYTHING* he says because of the *tangents* he goes on.
+Mr Epifany I'm getting the impression that Dame's long talks are kind of therapeutic for him. I mean with all the stories being put out about him at least he can correct the misinformation that has been put out about him. I've listened to a couple of his videos with Dr. Boyce & these videos appear to be therapeutic for him. But with anything, as they say, eat the meat, & spit out the bones. So some of his tangents have some sort of revelations to them. He's like a young version of Dick Gregory because he can really go off on some tangents (Dick that is).
+humpty dumpty Matthew was a tax collector until Yeshua called him to come follow and be his disciple. Matthew dropped everything and left. Matthew 9:9-13
Thank you for highlighting the importance of farming. A lot of people are criticizing Mr. Dash's presentation and style. I appreciate that, with his wealth, success and as he has shared 'street beginnings,' he has developed appreciation for the land. Farming yourself, instead of paying someone who doesn't care about you to farm for you, is key to solving many of our problems.
Firstname Lastname LOLI know it appears that Damon Dash is the antithesis of Tommy Sotomayor, but if you think about it, they share small similarities: both actually appear to be arrogant, abrasive, condescending, and their messages can be unpalatable at times. I really enjoy the blunt, unpolished perspectives of others. There's less having to sift through pretenses.I do not agree 100% with Sotomayor's views (as with Damon Dash), but I listen to him because he does reveal major issues in the Black Community and drops some gems on how we need to improve the Black community (i.e. Black women need to stop having kids out of wedlock for multiple men; Black men needing to stop abandoning their kids and become more involved in parenting; the corrupt and biased judicial system in child support cases against men; Black women should wear their natural hair as opposed to investing their dollars in a 1 billion dollar industry that is controlled by the Koreans who do not give back to the Black community, etc.). I try to absorb knowledge from wherever I can, irrespective of whom the messenger is and however harsh it may sound. Sometimes it is the people we dislike or who are controversial that we learn the most from because they challenge us to think differently. The truth can hurtsand may sound unsavory but it might be what we need to hear as (Black) people to wake up.
respect sister and I agree with you I only asked why you listen to TS because I think he has an agenda that has nothing to do with black empowerment. And a lot of his followers I think don't realize that.
dame dash knows more about business than most of us, he's not perfect but that will not stop me from taking some gems from this interview. what he said about the minister is spot on too great interview
I saw an Camron interview where he said that when Kanye West was rapping for Jay-Z, that Jay-Z ignored him and couldn't see Kanye's gift. It was Damon Dash who listened to Kanye rapping and saw talent there. That it was Damon Dash who is the reason why we have a Kanye West. And I've read and heard that Damon Dash has foresight when it comes to discovering talent or seeing a person's purpose. I'm impressed!
The bible talks about wealth and money a lot. The richest man who ever lived was King Solomon who wrote three books of the bible. Read it and you will see how many times money is talked about in the bible.
Solomon was the richest man but the women and the money change him and at the end of his days he said the only thing that matters in life is following Gods commandments.
MzYumYum69 Right, but what he was saying is there are no lessons on money....like there are chapters on how to love others, how to live peaceably with others, how to have faith...there are no chapters on money...
MzYumYum69 you.re not understanding, hes trying to say money or any form of currency is un-natural, we were meant to sustain off of the earth and NOT by man made currency, that was the point of his argument
When You have alot to say, and you feel like you won't get it all out you sound like you are ranting. Yet if you listen to what he saying and you are already on what is going on. Then you will completely overstand what this man is saying. Thank you for the video.
Sad that these "brothers" don't know the Bible! Years ago a Christian radio personality gave his testimony. He said he could find hundreds of scriptures pertaining to money. He said this to a group of theologians. They didn't believe him. He went on to say "truly in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king." There are multitudes of verses pertaining to money, wealth, prosperity, piety, worship, sacrifice in the Bible. But sadly everyone only knows "money is the root of all evil" (1st Timothy 6:10). But if one reads the whole verse they will see it begins with "the love of money...." And if one continues to read the chapter Paul's commands Timothy to command those "who are rich to not be high minded, but trust in God who gives all things richly to enjoy" (1st Timothy 6:17). In the early Christian community there were those who had wealth but came to salvation by faith in Christ. Men can have money, just don't let money have you! Men need money to support their families, take care of their wives, be successful and not depend on the welfare state. And it the black community the only sources should not just be civil service jobs, entertainment or sports! Wealth in Old Testament times was based on how much live stock one had, servants, even wives (don't go there!), and status in the community (name known in the gate of the city, the then county seat). But ultimately one's faith in God was the determining factor (read Deuteronomy 8:18).
I have been gardening four about 4years now an I love it unity and self sufficiency is the next step we all must return to mother nature I love hearing this from dame much love to all the farmers out there may your crop be plentiful
So much knowledge dropped on here. People need to hear more of what this man has to say. Dash thinks as a business man and not a worker. More of us, including myself need to learn this mentality and teach our children the same.
Dr.... he is ON TO SOMETHING, I see you connecting with your facial expressions.... # DAME CONTINUE EDUCATING US ON ALL FAUCETS OF REALITY..............🥦🥥🍓🍇🍉🍑🥬🌶🌽🥕
This is what happens when a self-proclaimed "Cake-a-holic" runs out of cake. "I learned so much about farming. About dirt. About compound... wait what's it called?!"
Dame Dash is a pretty cool guy, I like him, he's cool down to earth and makes a whole lot of sense when he specks. he's very intelligent. and I never knew this about him. I really like this dude!
I live in North Carolina and i work a 188 acre farm and do the 9to5 thing its hard yet worth it in the long run. We do a lot of canning an freezing an have a walk in freezer slam full of mess an a pantry bigger than most people's apartment filled with food we have grown. I enjoy these videos you pick up little things here an there that are really helpful an at times somethings to ponder for days.
Dam good to see you still looking great my brother stay strong man, I think you need to write a book that would be a best seller no doubt, I would buy it ('Dr, Boyce") great interview with Dam !!!
The reason why corn is such an important crop to grow right now is because 90% of it is grown from a GMO seed and the people selling the farmers these seeds are pesticide companies. Because corn is overgrown any leftover is given to our cows, chickens, and pigs. These animals were not designed to be on a strict corn diet they were made to eat grass. The corn fattens them up quick but is damaging to their development and they live in pain until up to slaughter. If you do eat meat make sure it's organic grass fed. Do some research for your local farmers as well they are more than willing transparent about how they treat their animals and the feed.
I love this convo. As far as I know, the bible talks a lot about money. It talks about the richest man who ever lived. It talks about precious metals and stones and professions. Yeah, we should live off of the land and we do. Everything comes from the land but everyone can't be a farmer. There are other jobs to do too.
Dr. Watkins, with all due respect, PLEASE stop spotlighting this gentleman until he gets himself a little more together. I understand he is your friend and that you respect his business acumen, but, for real, he just comes off like the drunk uncle at the family BBQ. I'm not saying he's a drunk, just that he presents that way. He goes off the subject too easily with all kinds of rants and musings, and it doesn't help that, as a mature man with that gray stubble, he dresses like a teenager (something even you have criticized men in general for doing). It reflects on both his and your credibility.
Don't watch it or Empire or How To Get Away With Murder or any other sterotypical show you attribute to Black females--too busy running two small businesses and doing something POSITIVE for Blacks.
MissPriss919 All come on now, you know what I'm referring to. Yeah, I had to Google it to double check it's title and also to see if it was still in syndication.. but you know what I'm talking about.
Dame speaks to fit his life situation. In Rockafella days this dude wasn’t talking about farming. Now he wants to try to farm so he speaks like this. Now that he doesn’t have same amount of money.
Damon, Great point. God did not create money, man did, and it is the root of all evildoers. We are our own down fall here on earth. Smart man beyond words.
To answer Dame’s question in the beginning as he asked Dr. Watkins where in the Bible does it talk about money? Then went on a Rent about how no where in Bible God talks about it. I guess except for the part that most people know and Dr. Watkins mentioned which is: “The love of Money is the root of all evil.” Well, it does also state in the Bible: Money answereth all things.” So, I am not too clear what Dash is really talking about as it relates to this whole thing about Money?! Then again I haven’t watched the entire video yet. I had to pause to Insert this comment here. Now, I’ll go watch the rest! Thank you Dr. Boyce Watkins for this amazing platform you have created.
Dame Dash has done phenomenal things. I reckon he's done a lot of good in his life but Dame Dash is a hard pill to swallow sometimes. If you understand him it can be easy to handle him and get along but if you don't its easy to not like him or think he's cocky etc.
Damon there are many scriptures in the bible about money , wealth, tax collectors , so many verse talk about money, and a lot of men in the bible had money. Ecclesiastes 10:19 says 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry; but money answereth all things. if you have no idea about what your talking about damon dash , do not be afraid to shut up about it , because it does not make you look smart ! Money is not something "that was made to make men lazy and make others do work for them" We all help each other to survive unless you make your own clothes , grow you own food and built your own house , one again I suggest you shut up about it :)
tracy rox one of jesus's(pbuh) most radical moves was turning over the tables of the money chargers bcuz they were practicing usury! those were the bankers of his day!
Cut down on the sugar, it is an addiction it will lower your blood pressure and blood sugars, and you will gradually loose weight,I am not telling you to diet or eliminate it completely. Do the research and just watch your sugar intake. Bake with less sugar than the recipes call for slowly start reducing your sugar intake, use natural sugars instead of refined white sugars. If you use a teaspoon in your coffee cut it to half, stop the sodas, water them down until you can cut them out. Most physicians do not tell you that your blood pressure will be reduced if you reduce your sugar intake, try it for a month if you have high blood pressure and watch a reduction in your numbers and your weight.
I like that the doc has variety = successful RUclips channel ... I don't agree with everything he topics on, but I am of the opinion that an independent mind is a mature mind.. Keep up the mix doc... Build it and they will come.
Brief lesson on capitalism and how "our" current money system started: Britain - 1) Land barons built factories to manufacture weapons, bricks, etc., so that they could enrich themselves and build an empire, 2) They couldn't get the people to come and work in the factories because the people had their own farm land and crafts, traded with each other and therefore didn't need "currency," 3) The land barons kicked the people off of their land so that they wouldn't have their own means of survival and therefore would need "currency" given to them by the land barons after they toiled for the barons - This was repeated everywhere Europeans went.
BEAUTIFUL & INTELLIGENT .....First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. Proverbs 30:8 (and some of my wants, lol !!)
Dame, people think you're crazy cuz you constantly contradict yourself--and at a mile a minute. Before you swore up and down "I'm a cake-a-holic" and "addicted to getting money." So, now... really? Glad for the change of heart; but his philosophy conveniently 'flips' when faced with the consequences of his actions. If he'd expressed some self-awareness and humility (not ranting against Jay, his ex, disloyal artists, everyone else's greed), he'd a been back on top now...exposing the 'vultures' he used to be like. Guess eleven years after the ROC, still hard to look in the mirror and see your part.
keithskillz90210 and funny, still got a few lil minions...mostly romanticizing 'the ROC' days. if someone truly cared about that guy, they'd pull his coattail. all these videos actually hurt his 'comeback'...smh!
He ain't crazy man he just changed. You can tell he been through crazy experiences throughout his life but people change. I can relate to that shit dame seem like one of the realest if you ask me.
***** people change. It's the natural course of life.. if you don't, you're dead. Not saying he's some guru, but it's good to see he can switch up his view.. you sound like you've been programmed the million songs that all say 'I ain't changed.'
+manistiles1 It could also be that he is still hurt about being betrayed by people who he was loyal to & had their backs. I mean men get hurt too right? When they are betrayed by people they trusted. I don't know, I'm just guessing. I know there are certain people's names he keeps mentioning on the videos I've seen thus far. So whatever happened, he still hasn't gotten over it. It takes time. But at least he's trying to do something positive---farming & living off the land.
Boyce Watkins laughed when Dash said he was farming. Because all he respects is a Black Man who puts himself in debt going to get a job working for the White Man.
Dame has always been a real nigga, yeah he might be a little cocky, but I think he is just speaking his mind. Thats a real nigga in my mind. And he is right, if you got work on the street you not broke, your money is invested. Dame is from the streets, he knows the only way to make money, is to spend money, to invest your own money. Be your own boss, believe in yourself, invest in yourself. And anyone can do it, yeah you might have to start out small, but 100% of your profit is still 100%. You invest small, and grow.
Matt 6: "For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." There is no good in Mammon (money/fleshly things), in fact God and Mammon are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Man made money to gain control of the people to stand in the place of God and to replace the need for God.
Let's NOT forget you CAN NOT make a burger for $5- DECENT meat for two burgers is MORE than $5....you left out the part that they are selling cheap food to kill you. If you have $5 you're going to try to get something to eat/ and get full. It's NOT always laziness.
i love this dude. (no homo) ....DAme you doing lectures . i would love to see you lecture to the inner city schools...WE NEED YOU, WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU....
I love when you too talk. Especially this episode. There are two things I must speak on though. One is, there are chapters about money in the bible and most of America's big business uses the Bible's financial strategy to govern their business that's why they're so successful. Second a lot of the things Dame says as well as Mr. ferakahn (excuse the misspell) also are stated in the Bible. it's just the misconceptions about the Bible perpetuated by Christianity distorts what we know about what it's really saying. On another subject if possible could you ask Dame if you ever get a chance, if he would do internships for movie making so young black people can learn the ins and outs of making good quality movies and take it out of the hands of the Hollywood agenda. That way we could put more meaningful content out that can change the perception of how black people view themselves in this society. Or better yet use it to show how possible it is to be self sufficient?
As somebody who was born and raised in Zimbabwe in Africa..I am so glad that finally someone can at least teach the Americans what we have known for a very long time...The money system is a foreign and artificial concept that was created by white people...Most Africans have always known that you live off the land..and also you develop skills that can help you to be self sufficient..

@@wmurray003 ..your question makes no sense, at all..

yes, He is 1000%

That's right damon dash.we are suppose to take care of the land.

Great video! I love Dame Dash. He's always trying to find new ways to innovate, progress and become self sufficient from the Matrix.
Yep he's a genius, I think we should work with him , he loves black people and he's a great business man
kesh s Can I ask why do you listen to sotomayor?
Firstname Lastname LOLI know it appears that Damon Dash is the antithesis of Tommy Sotomayor, but if you think about it, they share small similarities: both actually appear to be arrogant, abrasive, condescending, and their messages can be unpalatable at times.

coby edwin He know more about drugs too!
I really enjoy and I learn a lot from the co hosts you have Yvette, S. Tia and Damon--these talks are so helpful. Thank you Dr. B
He has knowledge but he should be honest. There's no way he thinks rapping is corny. Just admit u ain't got the skills for that.
such a powerful quote on being a role model rather than telling somebody to do something
I saw an Camron interview where he said that when Kanye West was rapping for Jay-Z, that Jay-Z ignored him and couldn't see Kanye's gift. It was Damon Dash who listened to Kanye rapping and saw talent there. That it was Damon Dash who is the reason why we have a Kanye West. And I've read and heard that Damon Dash has foresight when it comes to discovering talent or seeing a person's purpose. I'm impressed!
Deborah jjo Dame signed Kanye simply to keep him as an in house producer. Biggs saw the genius in him. Then Jay took credit being the hottest MC.
The bible talks about wealth and money a lot. The richest man who ever lived was King Solomon who wrote three books of the bible. Read it and you will see how many times money is talked about in the bible.
I find it strange recently people started saying the richest man was king mamas musa(sp?)like it’s Solomon.
Mansa **
Solomon was the richest man but the women and the money change him and at the end of his days he said the only thing that matters in life is following Gods commandments.
I really love Damon's candor....good, bad, in-between.
If there are tax collectors, silver and gold in the Bible then there is your mention of money.
MzYumYum69 Right, but what he was saying is there are no lessons on money....like there are chapters on how to love others, how to live peaceably with others, how to have faith...there are no chapters on money...
Ricia Love there's the love of money being the root of evil part
3089280288 Yes.
MzYumYum69 you.re not understanding, hes trying to say money or any form of currency is un-natural, we were meant to sustain off of the earth and NOT by man made currency, that was the point of his argument
***** he's no biblical scholar but his point rings true. If people grew what they b needed to survive money wouldn't be as relevant
Dame is so intense and he gets passionate in all his interviews
When You have alot to say, and you feel like you won't get it all out you sound like you are ranting. Yet if you listen to what he saying and you are already on what is going on. Then you will completely overstand what this man is saying. Thank you for the video.

Like, I was surprised he said he only read a little of the bible.
Hear hear!
I have been gardening four about 4years now an I love it unity and self sufficiency is the next step we all must return to mother nature I love hearing this from dame much love to all the farmers out there may your crop be plentiful
I love that these brothers are waking up and sharing the knowledge. I hope to see you interview David Banner next.
So much knowledge dropped on here. People need to hear more of what this man has to say. Dash thinks as a business man and not a worker. More of us, including myself need to learn this mentality and teach our children the same.
The first 3 minutes of this video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Kudos Dame.
Damon you're a 100% right that's why it's so much cancer. Food and Water
DAME you are 100% .. that truth made my hairs stand up on my arm. May you be blessed!!!!
I'm really impressed. Dame actually seem like a really intelligent human being.
Dr.... he is ON TO SOMETHING, I see you connecting with your facial expressions.... # DAME CONTINUE EDUCATING US ON ALL FAUCETS OF REALITY..............🥦🥥🍓🍇🍉🍑🥬🌶🌽🥕
I would like to see a Jay-z interview by Dr.Watkin.
"He got the side waves" lol... Great interview!
Dame is my model, mane. I've been following Dash for a while.....he makes total truth.
Thank God, Michelle Obama talked about farming...Damon, Farrakhan,music, money...you? Love that you listen, and like that he spoke...
This is what happens when a self-proclaimed "Cake-a-holic" runs out of cake.
"I learned so much about farming. About dirt. About compound... wait what's it called?!"
Dame Dash is a pretty cool guy, I like him, he's cool down to earth and makes a whole lot of sense when he specks. he's very intelligent. and I never knew this about him. I really like this dude!
People are quick to call others crazy because it's dismissive people will critique what they don't understand.
I am proud of dame dash he's a great father wow I love hearing positive talk dame dash real
The Race, Human law..... Faracon's energy hit this man.... I like hearing stuff like this....
I live in North Carolina and i work a 188 acre farm and do the 9to5 thing its hard yet worth it in the long run. We do a lot of canning an freezing an have a walk in freezer slam full of mess an a pantry bigger than most people's apartment filled with food we have grown. I enjoy these videos you pick up little things here an there that are really helpful an at times somethings to ponder for days.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Everything about this video! Thank you, #DrBoyceWatkins, #DamonDash AND #MinisterLouisFarrakhan
"Render to Caesar what's his" in regards to money in the Bible. So Dame definitely has a point about money being created by man.
I never use to like Dame, but I love that dude . I got the up most respect ✊ for this dude .
I don't see any connection between Dame's life and Empire. Good try though dude.....lol
Dam good to see you still looking great my brother stay strong man, I think you need to write a book that would be a best seller no doubt, I would buy it ('Dr, Boyce") great interview with Dam !!!
The reason why corn is such an important crop to grow right now is because 90% of it is grown from a GMO seed and the people selling the farmers these seeds are pesticide companies. Because corn is overgrown any leftover is given to our cows, chickens, and pigs. These animals were not designed to be on a strict corn diet they were made to eat grass. The corn fattens them up quick but is damaging to their development and they live in pain until up to slaughter. If you do eat meat make sure it's organic grass fed. Do some research for your local farmers as well they are more than willing transparent about how they treat their animals and the feed.
Damon is an, insightful brother.
I love this convo. As far as I know, the bible talks a lot about money. It talks about the richest man who ever lived. It talks about precious metals and stones and professions. Yeah, we should live off of the land and we do. Everything comes from the land but everyone can't be a farmer. There are other jobs to do too.
Dr. Watkins, with all due respect, PLEASE stop spotlighting this gentleman until he gets himself a little more together. I understand he is your friend and that you respect his business acumen, but, for real, he just comes off like the drunk uncle at the family BBQ. I'm not saying he's a drunk, just that he presents that way. He goes off the subject too easily with all kinds of rants and musings, and it doesn't help that, as a mature man with that gray stubble, he dresses like a teenager (something even you have criticized men in general for doing). It reflects on both his and your credibility.
MissPriss919 With all due respect, go back to your episode of Scandal.
Don't watch it or Empire or How To Get Away With Murder or any other sterotypical show you attribute to Black females--too busy running two small businesses and doing something POSITIVE for Blacks.
MissPriss919 Come on, not even a little... Basketball Wives of LA?
Willie Murray Who?
MissPriss919 All come on now, you know what I'm referring to. Yeah, I had to Google it to double check it's title and also to see if it was still in syndication.. but you know what I'm talking about.
I agree 100% what Dammon Dash is saying God did not create money!!! Man did!!
Dame speaks to fit his life situation. In Rockafella days this dude wasn’t talking about farming. Now he wants to try to farm so he speaks like this. Now that he doesn’t have same amount of money.
with "leaders" like that you don't need enemies....
Dash is starting to sound like Pac. #Makaveli a true legend. R.i.p.
He was going great until he starts bragging about what he has. Not to be rude, but an empty trash can makes a lot of noise
Everyone thinks he broke so he told everybody he wealthy...
It sounded like he was bragging, but he only did that because people say he’s broke at lost it all lol
Damon, Great point. God did not create money, man did, and it is the root of all evildoers. We are our own down fall here on earth. Smart man beyond words.
To answer Dame’s question in the beginning as he asked Dr. Watkins where in the Bible does it talk about money? Then went on a Rent about how no where in Bible God talks about it. I guess except for the part that most people know and Dr. Watkins mentioned which is: “The love of Money is the root of all evil.”
Well, it does also state in the Bible: Money answereth all things.” So, I am not too clear what Dash is really talking about as it relates to this whole thing about Money?! Then again I haven’t watched the entire video yet. I had to pause to Insert this comment here. Now, I’ll go watch the rest! Thank you Dr. Boyce Watkins for this amazing platform you have created.
Dame Dash has done phenomenal things. I reckon he's done a lot of good in his life but Dame Dash is a hard pill to swallow sometimes. If you understand him it can be easy to handle him and get along but if you don't its easy to not like him or think he's cocky etc.
I love Dame...Such an interesting character.
Damon there are many scriptures in the bible about money , wealth, tax collectors , so many verse talk about money, and a lot of men in the bible had money. Ecclesiastes 10:19 says 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry; but money answereth all things.
if you have no idea about what your talking about damon dash , do not be afraid to shut up about it , because it does not make you look smart ! Money is not something "that was made to make men lazy and make others do work for them" We all help each other to survive unless you make your own clothes , grow you own food and built your own house , one again I suggest you shut up about it :)
tracy rox one of jesus's(pbuh) most radical moves was turning over the tables of the money chargers bcuz they were practicing usury! those were the bankers of his day!
right !! meaning theres was money and bankers and all that jazz , damon thinks he's fooling ppl, smh
tracy rox The hebrews were farmers 1st, but there are principals in the bible that one could use and apply to money.
But money is still man made. Most of the time you read about money in the bible is when ppl are doing evil.
David Landrum that is not true ! at all,i can't even stress to you how untrue that is !
Cut down on the sugar, it is an addiction it will lower your blood pressure and blood sugars, and you will gradually loose weight,I am not telling you to diet or eliminate it completely. Do the research and just watch your sugar intake. Bake with less sugar than the recipes call for slowly start reducing your sugar intake, use natural sugars instead of refined white sugars. If you use a teaspoon in your coffee cut it to half, stop the sodas, water them down until you can cut them out. Most physicians do not tell you that your blood pressure will be reduced if you reduce your sugar intake, try it for a month if you have high blood pressure and watch a reduction in your numbers and your weight.
Wow....I don't think I heard Dame say "pause" once in this interview
Dame is spitting that ism, he should come more often! shout out to Dr Watkins
Better to give than receive ...esp to ones who need.
Damon Dash is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. POINT BLAKE PERIOD.
Mr. Damon Dash is speaking the truth. My father speaks of this very same thing.
Absolutely! Dame
Revelation... word brother.
Damon is a smart cookie
certain companies in America are allowed to grow hemp.
I like that the doc has variety = successful RUclips channel ... I don't agree with everything he topics on, but I am of the opinion that an independent mind is a mature mind.. Keep up the mix doc... Build it and they will come.
very #true about Trump. he licensed his name. He owns less than he claims. Dame is about his business.
Brief lesson on capitalism and how "our" current money system started: Britain - 1) Land barons built factories to manufacture weapons, bricks, etc., so that they could enrich themselves and build an empire, 2) They couldn't get the people to come and work in the factories because the people had their own farm land and crafts, traded with each other and therefore didn't need "currency," 3) The land barons kicked the people off of their land so that they wouldn't have their own means of survival and therefore would need "currency" given to them by the land barons after they toiled for the barons - This was repeated everywhere Europeans went.
BEAUTIFUL & INTELLIGENT .....First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. Proverbs 30:8 (and some of my wants, lol !!)
Dame, people think you're crazy cuz you constantly contradict yourself--and at a mile a minute. Before you swore up and down "I'm a cake-a-holic" and "addicted to getting money." So, now... really? Glad for the change of heart; but his philosophy conveniently 'flips' when faced with the consequences of his actions. If he'd expressed some self-awareness and humility (not ranting against Jay, his ex, disloyal artists, everyone else's greed), he'd a been back on top now...exposing the 'vultures' he used to be like. Guess eleven years after the ROC, still hard to look in the mirror and see your part.
keithskillz90210 and funny, still got a few lil minions...mostly romanticizing 'the ROC' days. if someone truly cared about that guy, they'd pull his coattail. all these videos actually hurt his 'comeback'...smh!
He ain't crazy man he just changed. You can tell he been through crazy experiences throughout his life but people change. I can relate to that shit dame seem like one of the realest if you ask me.
***** Grammar? Heard of it?
***** people change. It's the natural course of life.. if you don't, you're dead. Not saying he's some guru, but it's good to see he can switch up his view.. you sound like you've been programmed the million songs that all say 'I ain't changed.'
+manistiles1 It could also be that he is still hurt about being betrayed by people who he was loyal to & had their backs. I mean men get hurt too right? When they are betrayed by people they trusted. I don't know, I'm just guessing. I know there are certain people's names he keeps mentioning on the videos I've seen thus far. So whatever happened, he still hasn't gotten over it. It takes time. But at least he's trying to do something positive---farming & living off the land.
I love all Dame Dash interviews
Boyce Watkins laughed when Dash said he was farming. Because all he respects is a Black Man who puts himself in debt going to get a job working for the White Man.
how this video starts with GODS plan and how we should be living...YES...
I can listen to Dame all day...
Oh, as I listen to the interview Dame is making sense.
Dame has always been a real nigga, yeah he might be a little cocky, but I think he is just speaking his mind. Thats a real nigga in my mind. And he is right, if you got work on the street you not broke, your money is invested. Dame is from the streets, he knows the only way to make money, is to spend money, to invest your own money. Be your own boss, believe in yourself, invest in yourself. And anyone can do it, yeah you might have to start out small, but 100% of your profit is still 100%. You invest small, and grow.
I have a question Dr Boyce, my question is why do conscious black people beef, when your so called teaching your race?
how can Dame Dash afford a personal chef? This man owes millions in back taxes
You ain't in his life so you don't know if he truly owe anybody. The media say he owes back taxes.. That don't mean he actually do.
Nikee Ttg doesnt mean he doesnt either lol js
Matt 6: "For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." There is no good in Mammon (money/fleshly things), in fact God and Mammon are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Man made money to gain control of the people to stand in the place of God and to replace the need for God.
Dame is the biggest lover of money. When he figures out that "The love of money is the root of evil" he will see the light.
Let's NOT forget you CAN NOT make a burger for $5-
DECENT meat for two burgers is MORE than $5....you left out the part that they are selling cheap food to kill you. If you have $5 you're going to try to get something to eat/ and get full. It's NOT always laziness.
I wanna know what changed his cousin Stacy dash
They're both so strange and bitter
She's fine as hell tho😍🔥🔥
LOL
MC8 Who said she changed? Just because you don't agree with her.
Roger San Gabriel I did - Where did I say I dont agree with her or did you assume?
Damon Dash killing it 2 minutes in...
hard to find people now adays with the internal swavy depicted from the strength our culture should breed in us all.
Say it Damon, humans created money, banks
Dash says men should lead by example. Dash said it, Dash.
i love this dude. (no homo) ....DAme you doing lectures . i would love to see you lecture to the inner city schools...WE NEED YOU, WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU....
Damne on point with the farm and what the bible speaks of regarding it.
Damon Dash: "Empire" was taken from my life story
"When they removed us from Africa did they bring our food with us?"-Dr Sebi
In my 👀 D.Dash is a #BOSS 💯
I am SLOWLY becoming a Dash fan...lol
Damon knows whats up now
How did you do the split interview ? Please I need help to do my show
I highly recommend this video!
The lesson is in the book of ENOCH... It teaches you how to work for yourself
I love when you too talk. Especially this episode. There are two things I must speak on though. One is, there are chapters about money in the bible and most of America's big business uses the Bible's financial strategy to govern their business that's why they're so successful. Second a lot of the things Dame says as well as Mr. ferakahn (excuse the misspell) also are stated in the Bible. it's just the misconceptions about the Bible perpetuated by Christianity distorts what we know about what it's really saying. On another subject if possible could you ask Dame if you ever get a chance, if he would do internships for movie making so young black people can learn the ins and outs of making good quality movies and take it out of the hands of the Hollywood agenda. That way we could put more meaningful content out that can change the perception of how black people view themselves in this society. Or better yet use it to show how possible it is to be self sufficient?
Damon your an awesome brother. Hang in there my brother. God has a miracle with your name on it. You will amaze your haters. Lol
Gotta hit the "like" button on this one!
