Jimmy Iovine Unedited: Discusses Cultural Appropriation, Death Row Records & Apple Music Challenges

[@aljr357]

I think Suge was stupid for wanting Dre gone and having all the violence around the studio. If Suge had been able to keep the violence away from the artists and technicians and just anyone that actually had anything to do with the money making part of death row and kept all the gang bangers away from his company then death row would probably still be on top of the music industry.

[@bossbear3599]

allan fulton Suge was trying to do stuff other labels weren't doing at the time like hiring convicts who just got out of jail. But it was when he went to jail the management was shit from Reggie Wright. Most likely Death Row would have ended up like Bad Boy today not too great but still existent

[@kevindunbar5804]

allan fulton suge is a thug there is no logic to his thinking

[@univeralafrikan]

FACTZZZZ!!!

[@jcast140]

suge aint no thug, he graduated from high school and went to college. aint no thug in the 80's doing that.

[@aljr357]

Kevin Dunbar Suge wasn't really a thug he just got caught up in the street shit because of hiring all the gangsters just getting out of jail.

[@genbabez]

Omg when jimmy said he doesn't have social media bc he doesn't want to see how wonderful other ppls lives are just made my jaw drop. Lol the man probably has the most awesome life you could ever achieve.

[@otisthomas5096]

He's very articulate in the sense that he re-asks them to explain themselves with questions that he deems to not understand what they mean. These men aren't dumb.

[@ez6810]

Na, he's just buying time to rethink of his answers. He's a billionaire,you think he doesn't understand questions? 🤔

[@gabeprice3333]

​@@ez6810 most definitely. What do you mean appropriation ? Like Elvis copying off chuck berry? Jim, that was 50 something years ago. We're talking about today. These "ppl" own rap. Went from struggle and poverty to bring drugged-out and spending their millions on silly jewelry.

[@edeck889]

Jimmy Iovine did what a record label owner should always do, stand back and let the artists just create and the label owner in turn back up there artists

[@MrWeiszGuy]

Jimmy Iovine is a pioneer. I see alot of hate, I'm black and I admire Iovine. He's a former rock producer, and a great music exec. But, he's a business at the end of the day. It is the music business.

R. Arana D.Keishawn Dame Dash said it once, but I'll reiterate it, not verbatim: "How come some of these white execs don't make it in their OWN world, but come over to Hip-Hop and become in charge/ in a position over others and profit!?" Sit on that for a bit.

[@madant22]

And blacks don't come over to produce the rock world and make it in return?

[@DailyDadJokes]

[@VaughnViktor]

I'm usually on the side of hip hop fans when they say fuck these "elite" types who run the industry behind the scenes but could get a damn about any part of it besides exploiting and robbing the culture, but NOT in this case. Any artist who ever worked w Jimmy Iovine has only sung his praises and for good reason. 2pac even continued to say nothing but good things about Jimmy after his release from prison. He has been 100% square w Dr. Dre his entire time with Interscope, has brought him along in a lot of great business investments when he didn't have to. He's also always supported Dr. Dre's creative vision, starting with Death Row records. You have to remember that it was damn near impossible for any major label to distribute a label started by an artist, let alone a RAP artist when 1.) Rap still was in its infancy as far as popularity goes 2.) Said artist has never had any real experience with the ins and outs of running a label. Without this support, label imprints such as Bad Boy, Roc-a-Fella, G-Unit, Aftermath and Young Money would have never existed. Not only was it a square deal, the support and later success of Death Row would change the landscape of MUSIC PERIOD forever! Also, he's supported Dr. Dre when supporting legendary artists who's careers would've been over otherwise. Some of the greatest music minds in history may have never been heard if it weren't for Jimmy. Eminem gave an interview where he stated he was freestyling on a radio show and was traveling around to shop his demo. He said if it hadn't of worked out that time he would've retired from rap, because nobody was willing to take a TRUE shot on a white boy from the trailer park who rapped about raping his bm and killing his mother. 50 was such a dangerous guy to touch after he was shot that he was essentially black balled from the entire industry, especially in NY. Dre and Iovine were the only two people willing to give him a shot. 2pac until his dying day had nothing but love for aftermath because they continued to show him love behind bars and heavily push his me against the world album. This was for an artist with a troubled history and a current RAPE charge, most labels at that time would've dropped him and shelved the album immediately. Say what you want about Lyor and the rest of those clowns, but Jimmy's resume speaks for itself. He's about as stand up and you will find in an industry full of devils.

[@Dwight2744]

That's well said. There's a lot of uniformed opinions in these comments. A lot of misguided anger.

[@JWill951]

You made some valid points here.

[@marymcinaney7242]

Well said. There are too many incorrect assumptions being made about Jimmy in these comments. Some guy keeps hurling insults about him being jewish. He's Catholic Italian lol.

[@zetrocsmith7388]

[@bigstevie1690]

You are kinda forgetting that it was Em and Paul that brought 50 to Dre that's why he was the only artist ever signed to Shady/Aftermath

[@tgbar96]

jimmy moonwalked all around that appropriation question LMAO

[@SAMUELHOWARDBROWN]

I know it's 6 six years later but I'm just seeing the whole interview. He didn't dance around it. That's crazy to say. When Sway tried to move away from the topic, Jimmy gave credit for the question and continued to talk about it. He just wisely spoke from his understanding and added context to the whole topic.

[@foreverseethe]

yeah that speech at about 26:40 about fear sounds exactly like the monologue on the intro to Dr Dre's song called work on his last album end it's sounds just like him.

[@nufforme]

Never heard Jimmy be so candid about his involvement in the hip hop movement. Let alone his passion for the black influence on pop culture current and the foundation for music in general.Basically was the springboard for the majority of influence of American culture, regardless of the color of the face represented.

[@SincereNokwaree]

Sway, I didn't miss it... thanks brauh! Skillful interview for those who really hear!!!

Jimmy contradicted himself. He says he didn't know about the violence at Death Row until he saw the Straight Out of Compton movie, but also says how crazy things got back then and that he tried to tell Suge to calm that down.

[@marcusthompson7508]

[@eliminator173]

shinymetallicpurplearmor no he said he didnt know that there was violence in the actual studio, in the workplace.

Jimmy Iovine understood the T.I comment. He pretended like he didn't understand, cause that comment was directed to him.

[@Sincere529]

He copped out of the T.I. question....

[@bovice1342]

Jason Jamal Right! TI explained exactly what he meant to a tee and immediately after this mafucka ask what does he mean? He full of shit and he knows it.

[@JWill951]

I said the same thing. Talking about what does he mean? He knows exactly what T.I. meant. Artists are getting paid pennies from streaming services. They make way more money from radip airplay but that's if you have a hit song in the Top 40 and we all know the radio is biased. They're only gonna play what the elites tell them to play.

[@Sincere529]

Yeah, it's not in his best interest to be truthful. Lol

[@NotonSpotifyYT]

he didn;'t cope out of it. i think he just didn't see the T.I. comment as being accurate. cause frankly it is a far more complex topic and you can't just blast Spotify or Apple Music for the status quo. what about KZbin and music being for free? what about gatekeeping? what kind of shitty deal did Spotify had to submit to to even get in the US market? Jimmy knows all that shit hence his reaction. and dude, radio play is an alternative? go back to Kanye's rant last year.. c'mon.

[@littlep1255]

Yall negative commentators tripping! If you owned a hip hop record company and Blake Shelton and Tim McCgraw came to you with an idea to start a label and asked for you to distribute, you would be like where's my cowboy boots and hat?

[@thehiphopgrimreaper9157]

[@Jameseditorofficial]

For me, it's just feels like there are some lies coming out of his mouth. He definitely made a good business decision. Sway is asking him about his personal involvement and knowledge in situations and he's saying he was oblivious to everything. He is a businessman, no one is questioning that.

[@unknownx7252]

[@southvermont3485]

10:45, I believe Jimmy is lying on that one. In '95 Puff Daddy did not have a 50/50 pressing and distribution deal with Clive Davis at Arista, Puff had a production deal with Arista and Clive could have easily told Puff to cut the gang stuff off and if he didn't Bad Boy albums wont be released to the public or at the very least albums with be released with no major label support. Between the release of No Way Out and Ma$e's Harlem World Puff worked out a 50/50 label deal with Clive at Arista because the production deal was coming to an end since both parties involved fulfilled their part of the production deal and it came time to negotiate a more lucrative deal ti distribute Bad Boy records.

[@03Jake]

Jimmy is a great man, people need to understand hes not a racist and finds racial/cultural questions hard to answer . but when asking him about appropriation should of used flow and it not only white artist that do it dont know how many people have stolen Biggies flow on Notorious Thug. he gives alot of insight to the industry of his era, but in the end its up to the artist to want to own their music 100% hard work and commitment and its possible.

[@swaartgevaar727]

Big difference between appreciating/emulating others' culture POSITIVELY and misrepresenting/exploiting it NEGATIVELY for profit. #CulturalAppropriation especially with the case of Elvis Presley was having white performers copy and profit from Black music while the Black musicians themselves are denied the platform/opportunity to perform and make a living. Nobody is trying to deny anybody to copy cultures and profit, the problem is NEGATIVELY MISREPRESENTING the people/principles of that culture.

[@justinchilders7240]

All music is derivative of other music, so when Jimmy says " mick jagger openly says that James brown inspired him" he is saying that seeing someone dance a certain way and then doing your own version is the natural evolution of any art form. When jerking was a thing, lots of black artists were doing it. I think this is just about race.

[@mztrdro]

He didnt get the question is because in reality all music is borrowed, sampled and inspired from someone or genre else where, hip hop itself is heavily sampled thru lots of genres. Its either the artist pay homage or not the blame should be on them individually. Deathrow was black owned and hiphop as a whole is recognized worldwide now and everyone knows where it came from n that will nvr be taken away. Part bout cashing in and owning ur own he did do the deal for Deathrow to own their own company, so either can think of him as opening the door because he was the only one who gave hiphop a chance and of course as business man reap the benefits too or call him culture vulture even tho there was no other company willing to give it a try nor owned by blacks before that. Im glad that whole era of music happened not the tragedies.

[@GardenStateWarrior]
