Everybodys not a businessman. Everybody don't understand marketing and such. A number of reasons. We could go on and on. Dude you rather party spend money on drink and drugs and females when they need to be focused on their grind. That's one major reason right there
I was a designer at Rocawear... and I can honestly say that Dame was the 'only one' who REALLY went ALL OUT for everyone that worked on the brand. He always stepped up and made sure we were treated fairly!!
Betrayal is sadly part of life, like a french rapper said : "The more I learn about men, the more I love my dog"... I learned that people (even family members) will not got as far for you as you are willing to go for them.
My friend played in a local band that made it big.Well, BEFORE they made it,the band leader was practicing shady business. Well, they're back in the area,and THE BAND LEADER IS STILL SHORTING BAND MEMBERS!! So, some people don't learn.
Dame words hit home so seriously. I went so hard for family for many years (raising ppls kids, money, fighting their battles) and became shocked and repeatedly devastated when they wouldn't show me a quarter of that love...was simply much better off had I invested heavily in the cultivation of my own talents and abilities, then helping whoever I wanted later without so much emotional attachment in transactions and major possibility for resentment ...I was a fool.
Some of the rappers who make money learn how to "flip it" and make more money, all the while, they're learning the business aspect of what they do so that they can become "BOSS!"
I think that THIS is the sort of thing Dash is talking about that got his FEELINGS all balled up. Lesson LEARNED. We shouldn't want to MANAGE or be Managed by some one ELSE. The mind set should be... Looking for PARTNERS to share in creating the best DEAL in any given situation for Both. MANAGER... I know its "just a word" but Words are POWERFUL. THIS is one of those words that can be Powerful in its CONFUSION. The "Manager" always feels like the person they manage ought to just DO what He or She says. Be "Loyal". (another confusing word) And the Person being Managed thinks the Manger "works for" Him or Her. So in this example, Jay-Z kept changing MANAGERS till He realized that what He was looking for in reality was a PARTNER. Dash by saying He needed to "get off that ship" seemed to be saying that His Aim in Business is NOT to MANAGE a grown azz MAN, but PARTNER, do Business WITH, not FOR, another Grown azz MAN. I LOVE this conversation on So many levels that really come down to what BOTH of these Cat's experiences are spittin' in the end. WHETHER You Prepare (educate) and are aware of the rules of the "game" BEFORE hand, or if You've Jumped in with all out massive action, and learned by DOING, in the END...You find a way to "bliss" (love THAT word) when you learn and apply SELF MASTERY, MAN UP. MANAGE YOU!! No one is responsible for SAVING YOU!! I THINK that you can boil BOTH of these Gentleman's approaches or "epiphany" leading to " Success" to just THAT. PERSONAL Understanding, Reaponsibility, Knowledge, Action. Rinse and Repeat... Keep Bringing it Doc!!!
I SO feel Dame on this. I think our Educational System, public and private has always done a huge diservice to the youth of America ( Jr. High and H.S.) by not including Financial Literacy in the corriculum. What stuck with me most, was when he said, "If he knew what he knew as a 20yr. old what he knew now, he would be a $$ Billionaire." Not to nock subjects like: Home Ec, P.E. Etc. but Financial Literacy is far more important.
I literally got Goosebumps when he said that last line! I wasn't Iooking at my Screen, so in my Head I pictured Mr Watkins Dropping a Mic AFter That line
AAA CLEANING Baltimore 4109267924 lts an older video but the put a newer date...Another tactic to get you to click on it for more views l guess...l cud already tell it was old cuz boyce is fat here. He has since lost weight and tightend up. But here he look like he been phuckin that pork up lmao!
After 8 yrs of grinding on my own I still don’t have a clear business plan or model I had the hustle then now I have mental agility as opposed to physical agility and endurance
I know it may sound cliche,but mental agility will get you far in life!!when I was 20 I was full of ideas,physical agility,hustle hard,but I had a lot of distractions,women,alcohol,the money came,money went,biggest regret,I trusted people
No one works with Dame twice. No one cares what he’s doing now unless he’s screaming down on someone or talking about the Rocafella or Aaliyah days. At least he’s happy.
The problem is that some people tend to get to trying to do too many things get that one thing started first then move on to the next thing that seems to be dash problems
You can't own what you don't create...and that's what all these guys are learning. The music industry signs you to deals that strip you of your ownership rights...It's hard to care about something you didn't create in the first place, so the loyalty to that object is lacking from day one. RoccaWear The ROC were stolen entities that weren't cuddled and guarded like its true creator would've...point blank!
Damon only 44. You sure he ain't 64. I mean dude looks kinda old. But I guess it's because of the life he lived. But any way more power to him for his success.
I think it would be better as young artists, to educate themselves first about the entertainment business. This sort of learning as one goes; allowed many artists to be PIMPED by the dirty entertaining industry. Acts like the Jackson 5 & New Addition to name a couple suffered terrible losses. My great niece is doing very well in the music business; with her family support & knowledge of the business first! And she’s just getting started 😃
I have a question and maybe it was asked and answered but if he did so well and knows so much.... Why is he having financial issues still till this day? His net worth is around 2 mill but Jay Z net worth is like 900 mill .... they were both apart of Rocafella and Rocawear.... Maybe I missed it was it cause his emotions got in the way? Also it's be dope if you could get Master P on. His been on the black ownership wave since the 90s. Well really before that but you know.
Dame didnt save, his main issue was spending too much which has been stated by many former artist and co-workers that worked with him. Peep the Breakfast club interview, it will give you a little more insight.
bobbytatum84 yup...dame was careless. Today he cud of probably had just as much money as J. Maybe less but he wud still be up there. He should have made better decesions on how ro invesr his money and not juat spend, floss and be reckless. He is still my boy tho :)
Damn me and dame the same age 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ i kinda feel like a failure anyway vote for me for president check out my video on youtube “CARL for President Anthony” Maybe i can catch up!!!
justin hunt What culture has Dame Dash been a vulture off?????....The culture vultures are the many white people who suck the blood out of Foundational Black American culture and give nothing back.....The same thing that white people do globally.
BiGDBO Dame is just a hater killer came Jim Jones Bennie segal and others say there not cool with him anymore he ows people money I would rather listen to Jay z then him you can keep taking advice from this loser if you want lol clown
Hasani Jitu are all people racist on this channel I'm black and I don't use that as a excuse you can take from your own culture Jay made more blk people rich then Dame and he doesn't blame people losers have excuses.winners get the job done
What do you all think makes the difference between rappers who make money and those who do not?
Boyce Watkins interview Jay z the winner
Having a mentor who knows the biz
Interview Master P...
Most want a check to flex and impress, few want to write checks and not worry about the next check from someone else....

Do you still design?
damn that's real

And this quote is from the rapper booba
💯💯💯
So True !!!💥💥💥💥Pure Truth,don't trust nobody when it comes to business ,there is no such thing as friends
Dame words hit home so seriously.

Very real, it will all come back round its a shaping process..
Invest in YOURSELF!
Love my man Dame Dash. True hustler for real. He doesn’t get enough credit for what he have done for the music industry!
He found Jay z he was lucky
Southern Gent What relevance does your comment have to the subject matter at hand (retorical)!.... PLEASE, STOP #SIMPING!....
Knowledge, reading and understanding contracts, opportunities for other business avenues and investing
@More Melanin Please, very important!
💯

Look like brothers !
Looks like a before and after for a weight loss commercial
Lmfao
Y does this split screen look like a before and after weight loss commercial??
🤣😂😅
LMAOOOOO
😂😂😂
Most entrepreneurs/ in general , biggest problem is they can’t work with ppl you have to do everything your self
Well said...but its amazing when you around like minded people
Thanks Dr Boyce for confirming you and Dam Dash are not the same person 😂
I ain’t black I’m Californian Mexican decent but Mr. Watkins you spit so much game appreciate
How about note to younger self. Don't burn people!
Damon Dash I am so glad you are not in prison like Suge Knight. Keep up the good work. Whatever you do don't get locked up. Peace.
Wait why would he be locked up like Suge Knight 🤣
21 people $50 a week for 1 year. While filling the LLC documents, Quarterly meetings, then vote on investments
Too many people
@@Blackowl44This may be true. We started with 21 people. We are now at 17 people 2 years and 8 months later.
I think that THIS is the sort of thing Dash is talking about that got his FEELINGS all balled up. Lesson LEARNED.
We shouldn't want to MANAGE or be Managed by some one ELSE.
The mind set should be... Looking for PARTNERS to share in creating the best DEAL in any given situation for Both.
MANAGER...
I know its "just a word" but Words are POWERFUL.

Appreciate Dame's words... that's Real.
Rappers have several jobs to do. This is for younger people who dont understand.
How old is this? He is 48.

Can someone tell me when dame dash talked about why rappers don't make money?
Listen and pay attention to the video.
@@carolynemusolo6188 I listened and heard nothing about the title. Instead, this was about a 44 yr old CEO disgruntled about his past.
@4:30 Having gone through similar circumstances, that's exactly what I would have told my 22 year old self. I was also insecure. Thanks for sharing.
Good video. I got value from this
Rappers need 2 learn 2 invest invest invest period fuck that so called lifestyle its not going 2 last 4ever👊😊
It’s up to the older generation to show the younger people the ropes so they won’t have to go through the same trials and tribulations .
This interview was recorded in 2015?
So true when you go all out
dame was not ready
Making money and Sustaining money is not the same thing
Save to invest, get the game from the guys with experience and use it to your advantage. ..-Trusno

Jaq Pollen This comment...
Nore said Dame got him $50k to do a video when they first offered him $5k.
I don't know what you think but Dash seem like he had some 🔥 before the video. That's when your flow is nice....
When was this recorded?
No we don't understand what you are saying. Brother just talk and say what you feel we don't know.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IM SAYING... um yea
Damon only 44. You sure he ain't 64. I mean dude looks kinda old. But I guess it's because of the life he lived. But any way more power to him for his success.
Stupid! Shut up.
This video was recorded a while ago.
These 2 look like brothers...Same mom.. different dads..Lol
Yall look like brothers
Dr watkins
50 not 44
Might be a new publishing of an older video clip.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE..... TWO OF MY ROLE MODELS
“You know what I’m sayin”!!! Over and over again. Wow
He should have jus stayed in food and beverage #seancarter
OMG DAME, MOVE ON MAN.
Why was Rocafella a sinking ship?
He’s 44 but Jay Z is turning 50? Riiiight.
Ikr 😂was this made in 2015? Because that's the only year Dame was 44....he turned 49 May 3,2019🤣😂🤣
Are these 2 related!
44?
Johnnie Jackson Video was recorded a while back
Y’all look like brothers
"Knowledge"
44 knock it off
Old video newer date hun

Looks like a weight transformation advertisement
I'm not a rapper.
I'm Zenith.
I have a question and maybe it was asked and answered but if he did so well and knows so much.... Why is he having financial issues still till this day? His net worth is around 2 mill but Jay Z net worth is like 900 mill .... they were both apart of Rocafella and Rocawear.... Maybe I missed it was it cause his emotions got in the way?

@@jdizzy2012 That makes sense and I will check that interview out. Thank you brother.
Dame dash is my role model
Dash should be right next to Jay z that let you know💵 isn't everything cuz they all broke up behind that 💰
Dash was spending money on dumb shit and Jay-Z was very conservative.
bobbytatum84 yup...dame was careless. Today he cud of probably had just as much money as J. Maybe less but he wud still be up there. He should have made better decesions on how ro invesr his money and not juat spend, floss and be reckless. He is still my boy tho :)
Is dame using his rap age ? How the heck is he 44 in 2020?
DD could be his son. lol
The independent rapper is the way. Ask his former artist Curren$y. 🤷🏾♂️
Dame is cool but he didn't offer anu answers with this one.
Dr. Boyce are you sure Damon Dash is not your son? You guys sure look alike.
Wow!! You don't look 44 years old.
He was jayz manager in everything but name... he got jay off the street then he wanted to go to that next level so he got new managers
What's wrong DOC.... you look baffled... 😂😂😂😂😂 you've been telling us to invest in others... ☹
Damn you are 48
Lmao 😂😂 Bro you were in your 30s stop lying you weren't that young doing it.......
Click bait
Talking about another man pockets.....or.....
.?🤷🏾♂️
So you wanted to have jay z mind 🤷🏾♂️
👍🏽
Damn me and dame the same age 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ i kinda feel like a failure anyway vote for me for president check out my video on youtube “CARL for President Anthony” Maybe i can catch up!!!

Do y'all know what he's sayin? Lol
Twinnin lol

What's he doing now? And he appreciates it now because he just about lost it.
Between Jay-Z and Dame Dash if you're taking business advice from Dame Dash you're going to lose
Twinning lol
👍
He's 48 years old lying CEO
Mike Barns Video was recorded a few years ago
