Steve Stoute Speaks on Why Dame Dash is Broke +Alicia Keys, Jay- Z + More(part2)

[@jamesbrightman1168]

Man, I never really sat and listened to Stoute before and I am truly impressed. Dude has a lot of industry knowledge and wisdom that needs to be heard

[@kkim1177]

he said not only "lack of talent" in the industry but also "lack of talent" getting away with lack of talent. WOW!!!!!! WORD SON

[@southerncali5351]

6:40 Dame discussion

[@trevonwynn3417]

thanks

[@cacklingfuel]

should honestly listen to what this man has to say in general.

(Not that I don't appreciate the timestamp ;P just saying.. hes got some points worth hearing)

[@billiebillie678]

Thank you!

Only took 2 videos to hear 40 seconds of Damon Dash nice click bait...so sick of these types of people trying to get views

[@brianwilliams4832]

This. It wasn't even about why he's "broke"...just that he's angry.

JT Smith man... I’m sitting thinking the same thing... like “When will he talk about dame”??????

[@quiksix25]

It's a tight interview though

[@DarnellHendeason-dk3uw]

Big props to LL for wearing the FUBU hat in the GAP ad! I thought it was a collaborative effort, made me respect GAP.

[@blueskyes9380]

The lack of talent getting away with the lack of talent👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@miguel831974]

Great interview I must say. He just told his story, plugged his book and dropped a gangload of inside information. Son just spoke like an older cat looking back talking to the folks listening. He did some thangs that changed the game. His name is on a lot of the cd's I have from back in the day. Don't and can't hate, for a change just listen and learn for a second. Much respect Steve.

[@RobertLoyale]

Graphic designers are the same way. People will pass up on the talent because nobody knows you. The moment you start doing hundreds of projects, that's when the directors call. But here's the thing, they'll want you to deal on their salary. You already have your own salary.

[@DjNjstylez]

You can’t diss Fubu. The only Black label brand who’s creator started literally in the basement made 100s of millions and still rich off fubu.

[@assaniase8638]

That shit was wack and cheap looking.....But Sean John and RocaWear was a little better.I prefer POLO 👚 Ralph Lauren the best.

Stoute is ridiculously intelligent. Great interview... thanks for putting this up.

[@MrSosa35]

I like how when asked about Dame Dash not liking him he simply responded in the most dignified manner with "that's unfortunate".

[@Livelife95ify]

Yes thats what mature secure men do

[@antarticp7477]

R Sosa he didnt want to get smacked again lol POP !! lol

[@MrSosa35]

Kevin Washington He sued the hell out of Diddy over that episode I remember reading that he took home a tidy sum from that incident.

[@antarticp7477]

R Sosa i wouldnt doubt it lol knowing the type of snake stoute is today lol i still respect the smart little gremlim tho lol

[@markjones5757]

R Sosaummmmmm the diddy episode and dame episode was two different confrontations. Dame dash smacked him up...thats what the guy is referring too...not the diddy episode.

[@dribble06]

Great Interview I could listen and learn from him all day!!!

[@bravofighter]

Steve is a career maker, no doubt. Hip hop needs him back. We need a modern MF Doom, a GZA...we need that painting with beats and melody, as WELL as that depth in lyrics.

[@debonairgaston]

Steve is right. There is a lack of talent in the music industry, and the money will never be there.

[@JustDoWhatITellYou]

The guy who is taking credit for bringing Cash Money into the limelight is complaining about a lack of talent in the music industry?

[@djscottieb01]

@@JustDoWhatITellYou i look at it different. when u look at music movements that occupy a space in time in hip hop and basically change a wave , its because they have a main producer who has a vision that's never been seen before and changes the game. marley marl , dr dre ( 3 different times), q tip, puffy, rya, I'm sure i missing somebody about right here, and mannie fresh all did that. as soon as you take them away , the music goes wrong. so there is talent there, but its the producer who has the vision and he directs the rappers and curates the projects on a whole. cash money was the first south movement that NY accepted. there had to be something there to even think about that happening. just my view . and i so agree tho , 3 years later from your comment, you're right , this DIY approach has made it ...umm.. different..on all levels

[@drsc]

Best episode of the breakfast club--having a wise, black, music business man speak.

[@andreacarpenter8947]

You are so right, rap will never be the same. And no one but people who lived that life knew what those words meant. 😂😂 Now days everybody plays as if they have lived or live that life. You are also right that the music industry aka Record labels will sign anybody, I miss my 90s rap and r&b. 😢😢 Very few good artist and music now days. Music doesn't speak you you or make you feel the way it used to.

[@anutha_level_ministries8108]

This is 7 years old posted and he said correctly about nicki Minaj

[@dreambigdreams2]

Mr. Steve Stoute is brilliant. I could listen to this guy all day. He just makes sense. Even if you don't agree with every point he may hit, he still makes it clear, succinct and plausible how he arrived at his position on any subject he introduces. Definitely gonna grab the book. He should be an educator on entertainment coursework.

[@leedza]

These are the guys who sold the game to the white man (i.e cooperate America). They gave them all the keys to the game.

[@Joela393]

Steve stoute predicted nicki Minaj perfectly

The commissioner Steve Stoute...he is the one who got Jay-Z and Nas to squash the beef...also helped get Nas signed to Def Jam...he was on Columbia Records...Trackmasters, his production team had 50 Cent first...

[@therealtoreal]

Steve stoute is an intelligent guy. We need more people i the business just being real and giving his knowledge on the whole game.

[@Taty7003]

Very interesting discussion. One thing though, Alicia Key's didn't get dropped, Colombia just refused to let her do her music her way, but also didn't want to let her leave, which ended up in Clive Davis buying out her contract. They would have been content to have her music sitting on a shelf for years, which is just another example of how spiteful things can get in the industry, and how you really have to know what you want in order not to get run over and made into a gimmick.

[@justinb954]

i was in the biz and listened to idiots for years. Steve is the smartest cat ive heard in along time. He has the best perspective on the industry.

[@LIKWITCREW1]

TASH is the most underrated rapper of all time, TASH from his solo albums RAP LIFE and CONTROL FREEK and all the albums he did with THA ALKAHOLIKS, TASH has the best flow and style in rap

[@swacfan100]

''Their not buying the artist their buying the songs'', SO TRUE. There are hardly any artist in music 2day.

[@MrNawdy2010]

I love this...he should be manager seriously !!!

[@thepatshowonwp]

They expect you to be developed already so they can just cash in on YOUR hard work. Hmmmm! This is a very smart and savvy guy, he knows what he's doing and he's always respectful even toward people who are not respectful toward him. Class act.

[@jamesjack7074]

Steve is right about Nicki needing to make more grounded music because pop acts get old quickly. Your core audience can carry you once that popularity fades

What the hell was he talking about in the beginning?

[@biglukeybaby]

Steve Stoute not trying to hear any of Charlamagne's bullshit jokes lol

[@nekneversleep]

And this interview explains why Dame went off on them the way he did. Dame Dash is a legend . Period.

[@reasy1978]

Exactly. Dame is not hardly broke, he understands things like assets, taxes etc.

[@judagreat5780]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lorenzalane83]

Steve just said a lot of real shit most of the hip/hop fans of today don't wanna hear.

[@tracydontplaythat]

No Truer words have ever been spoken.. " The Lack Of Talent That's Getting Away With A Lack Of Talent." I always say from 2000 to present 2013, one would be hard pressed to name a hundred songs That will be classic or remembered 20 years from now. Meanwhile in the 80s & 90s You could name a thousand.

[@slimithy12]

dame dash not being important in the game does not mean he's broke!

[@reasy1978]

Exactly! And he's not broke, he just learned the real money game is not about having cash but rather assets and businesses that make money work for him. Dame is not an industry entertainer, he's a businessman.

[@yezmirsheppard-halika6892]

funny, he was so right about Nicki Minaj it ain't even funny!!

[@Brilliance728]

watching this in 2022, 11. Years. Later. - dude hit the nail on the head with Nicki Minaj and Drake. And no cap I *just* bought Tanning of America, a generation later still relevant

[@racer83ify]

Columbia signed Nas in 1992...Nas has always been a real conscious rapper that speaks knowledge through music...the only true rebel since the beginning

[@prince315king]

There wouldnt be no jay without dame. Its just facts no biggie without diddy

[@tyronegodett6373]

Never mind Dame Dash I want to hear him talk about why P. Diddy beat him down with champagne bottles.

[@garcel1251]

Shit me too!🤣

[@crnkmnky]

Initially, the story was that Puffy/Diddy wanted to be edited out of the crucifixion scene in the Nas "Hate Me Now" video. It leaked on MTV without the edits, and Puffy was _furious_ and demanded to 'speak' with the manager…

[@zhongtv]

cross color would of been a better joke

[@danielngongang9419]

He was spot on on Nicki Minaj, becoming a big brand and a big personality. But she is not making music that comes from the essence of hip-hop. .

[@TrevVZT]

this was said 3 years ago...Nicki & Drake are still here and bigger than ever

[@Betoven81]

what are you talkiung about girl?

[@LeoGang50]

TrevTumm That's true but what he said about the type of music she should do was correct

[@jamesknight2300]

and now in 2019 no one cares about Nicki unless she starts a beef wit somebody or makes a song where she's name dropping. Drake still dat guy doe

[@edrmain]

If you're not listening...then that sucks for you. Steve Stoute is speaking real knowledge on what they are selling to us for a buck.

[@3xl32]

That’s true hip-hop has bonded cultures. The trip part they controlling it now. They got real hip-hop artists scared to make music for the culture✌🏾💯

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

So glad they asked that question about Dame. I know Dame's now regretting treating people the way he did. There's a video on here where he talks about the break-up of Roc-a-fella & he's all humble. So you know he's thinking that if he did treat people better maybe things would've been different. Infact I kind of think the reason Lyor Cohen did what he did w/ Jay is b/c of Dames way of dealing w/ people. You can't have a person like that running a business & being around exec & bus. partners.

[@samestuffdifferentday5712]

what do you expect from Charlemagne....doesn't he wear eyeliner??????= chatty patty

[@Gtacasinoheist]

sounds like dame got his business game straight from this guy you cant definitely tell dame learned alot from this man

Yeah he did call it, friends of mine said they went to a young money concert and they were disappointed in her performance. In so many words they said she was over hype and whack.
