Dame Dash just told yall whats up. But since jay z is the guy everyone talks about and his net worth, it seems like he was just bitter. This man has dropping gems and he just keeps getting stronger!! Bravo Mr. Dash!! I hope you become a billionaire! 💯

[@mr.worldfree3333]

Luis Sam but he did not start dropping gems or common knowledge until those "culture vulture" checks stopped. Then he decided to go on the independent crusade.

[@luissam1547]

I don’t think his checks are dry...AT ALL!!👤Honestly this man has way too much debt because he one some tycoon shit, but still applying basic and intermediate flip moves..the numbers are just bigger, and eventually it gonna connect cause he has a lot in his favor (experience& confidence) and rich intellectual property (Jay’Z first album). Dame is definitely getting bread, don’t believe the hype. 💯

[@Mr._X84]

Luis Sam A lot of speculation in your comment, but I don’t see anything concrete to back it up. What businesses of his do you know that are successful? His overpriced poppington clothing or his streaming service?

[@luissam1547]

Actually I don’t see your point either based what your trying to imply. 🤔🤔🤔 Look just stop it ight. Your a bitter 9-5 guy who obviously can wrap your mind around what Mr. Dash is talking about. He 💯 percent correct about what he is talking about. If anyone thinks this guy is “broke” it actually is only true reflect of your common sense which would appear to be BROKEN. He owns Jay z’s first album, he still recieves publishing revenue from master and copyrights of sound recording on all roc a fella releases that have his name as exec-producer...that means jay z and kanye, and all them other cats. This man gave 2m lee Daniels to get his career started as director when nobody would..he launched his career, he is responsible for putting Kevin Hart on. he produced plenty of movies including Paid in Full-Classic Movie. Anyone who can’t see this man is definitely business minded and still successful is probably a HOV dick rider or just plain goofy. Either way it’s complete waste of time.. the fact that he has a streaming service is amazing all into its self. Why you worried his pockets like that anyway.. just listen and learn.the man has jewels..don’t be remedial about this. You are smarter than that.💯

[@jamesfantjr]

The industrial revolution was the massive start to a decline in "bosses." Because before this, you had a trade, a skill. You did something that you loved (Like Dame mentions, doing it for the love). You had the freedom to do what you wanted to do and if you didn't hustle, you didn't eat. But you wanted to hustle because you loved that hustle. But the industrial revolution took away independence and gave what I believe is a false sense of comfort. Yes, you have a job to go to. But no ownership. And you open yourself up to mistreatment because you hustle another's ideas and not your own. You build up another's brand and not your own.

[@ClassicMan33]

This is probably the realest Dame interview out of 20 that I’ve watched. I live those exact words.

[@murdoch1717]

We need to keep in mind that it's not always about being either a "caged dog" (worker) or a "wild dog" (boss). You can be both until you can fully take care of yourself 100% with your own business. In other words, some of us will need to keep our day jobs and have a part time business on the side and build that business until you can fire your boss and go totally independent. Don't feel like you can't be a boss b/ c right now you have a job. If you have a job, that's good. You have a way to sustain yourself while building up your business. More than one way to skin a cat. Your path to building wealth may look different than Dame's or the next man's but that's ok as long as you do it. GO FOR IT!!!

[@murdoch1717]

Work hard first and learn how to be a good follower. While doing that, be saving and planning your move and your plan to escape the cage that you are in right now. There is nothing wrong with being in a cage now, you can make it out. Work hard, save, plan, learn about the business you wanna start, maybe find a mentor and do an apprenticeship with them if possible (working smart). Then, make your escape from the cage. You can do it if you put in the effort and want it. It may take several attempts to get it right but it can be done. Let's get it!

Everyone puts in (WORK) including the (BOSS) because the boss has to build relationship with other brands to expand his own brand.... the Boss has to come up with a vision.... the Boss has to (WORK) to protect his (BRAND) so at the end of the day we are all (WORKERS)
