Slightly unrelated but the video of him talking about Hov/Solange from this same interview is funny as hell
There's no doubt that record companies plundered "the culture" but lets be real, these dudes sold their souls just to get a dollar... Dame's one of those dudes that sold his soul too & let himself get the rug pulled out from under him... He is funny though. Always has been. Rap music has turned into one long commercial for brands & lifestyle...
What's there to elaborate? You don't know the story of the rise & fall (really the rebranding) of Roc-A-Fella & Dame's part in it? That period of hip hop saw the introduction of crass commercialism into hip hop & turned it into what it is today. Every song & vid from that era began sounding like a liquor or car commercial... It wasn't hip hop, it was lifestyle music...
from all the interviews from people that were at def jamI REALLY **** with Dame because he always seemed like the type to put on for his team regardless of circumstance... I hope both him & IRV both continue to push on a smaller scale w/o the help of big business because they have the kind of passion to really make an impact on the culture.
I honestly think him & Jay both want something similar in the end however they have a discrepency on how they want to do it. Dame wants to kick the buildings down from the jump, while jay thinks it can be done from the inside out, either way i applaud both for how they move.
