Again in what game? Pillars hold the weight of things up my guy. Dame been out the music business for years so you can’t be talking about that. When it comes to music Jay and Diddy are pillars captains of the industry while dame a has been. I think the word you were searching for is legend but a pillar he is not.

[@mrsmith3869]

Irv gotti said nobody gives a fuck what dame has to say I CARE ABOUT WHAT DAME HAS TO SAY Love that boss talk

[@user-bj2cv3ii9u]

@mrsmith3869 I care about what Dame has to say as well. Dame is a smart, good businessman, motivated & hustler. However when Dame said he told Irv to stay out of his business once he found out that Irv put together the Jay's Got ur self/super ugly freestyle the thing is that wasn't Dame's business it was Jay's business that he had with Nas.

[@Fashionhustler]

@@user-bj2cv3ii9uit was dames business, because Jay and dame were partners, and jays beef w/ Nas was affecting the bottom line of the business that Dame was a co-owner of. If rocafella looks bad, it loses money. Which is also Dames money.

[@user-bj2cv3ii9u]

@@Fashionhustler I disagree, now if Irv was trying to advise Jay on business moves or business discussions that Roc-A-fell should do then yes that would be Irv interfering in Dame's & Bigg's business. Yet Irv just strap together the Got ur self a gun beat & the super ugly beat for Jay. The popular opinion is that Nas won the battle between him & Jay, yet those sentiments of Jay losing the battle didn't lose any money for Roc-A-Fella. Dame is just upset about Irv making comments on Drink Champs about what he think cause the split between him, Jay & Biggs.

[@Fashionhustler]

@@user-bj2cv3ii9u incorrect. They were in the business of selling “music”. They literally make money selling music. The two are not separate. So, If Irv put the battery in jays back, to make a dis song (music), without Dames consent or knowledge, that’s literally interfering with Dames business. And, music is based on coolness and reputation. The moment an artist loses their cool factor, their music stops selling and they make no money. Example: vanilla ice and hammer both sold millions of records before the public perceived them as corny. Where are they now? Exactly. So, in the 1990’s era of gangster hiphop, taking a loss could’ve chipped away out the public perception of rocafella. Which, in a round about way, that loss was a part of its demise, and why Jay jumped ship and sabotaged the brand and threw Dame under the bus. Their visions were no longer in alignment. And both of them chasing Aaliyah didn’t help either. It’s all connected.

@@abzda1700 yeah but jay was worth 100 m’s in 2003 so he would’ve eventually made it to a billy had dame still be in the picture probably just would’ve took longer you call dame a bum & even tho I side with jay dame’s contributions to the game can’t be overlooked everyone is still trying to follow the rocafella blueprint n no matter what he was a major part of that n he seems like he still having success just in his own terms

[@polyverse1]

@@pedrogates3189he was worth a 100 million but he didn’t have a hundred million liquid until he left Dame. Dame went as far as he could go with what he knew and Jay was savvy enough to see the writing on the wall and he parted ways. And if you call losing lawsuit’s, multiple business failures, having your homes foreclosed, and being jailed for Child Support and running to another state to escape New York because you got so many cases successful than you can have at it. The only reason why this ninja drop’s knowledge or talks about Jays is because he’s not doing anything noteworthy. His movies are Doo doo 💩 and his clothes are wack.
