    Congratulations Steven 🎉 You managed to produce the BEST ‘Dame Dash’ interview EVER! Honestly, you managed to dissect Dame down to a point that I’ve never seen ANYBODY do before. It’s evident that Dame Dash is thick-skinned and very opinionated but thanks to you, I’ve finally seen a vulnerable side to Dame for the FIRST time.
    His interview on Drink Champs was my favourite but now it’s my 2nd favourite. You absolutely smashed it. This was pure execution.
    I’m a fan of your work and totally inspired. Keep up the GREATNESS! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My 5 best songs are probably Cali Love is what I wanted to call it but Dre thought California Love would be better for money and record sales. 2. Real Mf Gs with easy e 3. Livin in the City 4.

Don’t let this fool y’all dame is not happy that’s why he comes off rude or not fully happy. I don’t like people like him he’s an asshole I see why nobody stuck around because he wants to be the boss of everything that’s why rockafella died. Jayz knew he was a better business man that’s why he wanted to get away from Dame. Dame is bad for business. He has a shitty attitude and he doesn’t see things from other people perspective.

    I love everything about Dame, but I have to really acknowledge Steven for challenging Dame and not letting himself be intimidated by him. A person with such a strong character can be difficult to interview, but Steven’s continuous curiosity, the way he maintains his goal of getting to know Dame despite Dame not always letting him too close is admirable and I think why Dame opens up and it becomes a very personal interview.
    In the beginning you sense that Dame is very much used to wearing the boss hat and being the one to set the tone, and doesn’t seem like the most inviting person always. But I really think that Steven manages to disarm him with his gentle and sincere passion and curiosity for wanting to get to know someones values and beliefs on a deeper level.

I still can see the hurt and live under those shades. Love is undeniable when it’s real! I wish I personally knew him because he’s the kind of person I’d need by my side. He’s the type friend I’d want next to me without a doubt. Much love to him and his family! Great interview!

    The way life challenged him from the loss of his mother, losing Aaliyah, losing a child, ending off a multimillion business, betrayal in friendships, businesses and being demonize/crucified by the industry and media etc. Seeing him still standing tall indicates that this man soul is unbreakable!!! I love the fact that he is still in love with LIFE!!! He still has dreams and living his best life regarding what people say!!! He went through almost every worse case scenario that life can offer and he is still here. He exposed the music industry and calling people out by their name in public!!! This man is fearless and bold!!! He is not perfect, but his flaws is what makes him honorable. He is a walking testimony of God’s strength!!! My take on this interview is too never compromise your soul!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

      1. By doing everything that isn’t in alignment with his soul.
      2. By giving up his free will/free choice, sovereignty and independence to a system that would’ve enslave him and sealed his fate but also his family and future descendants!!!
      3. Everything that goes against his honor(codes) morals, principles, divinity, integrity and sovereignty!!! And also his ancestral codes!!!
      4. By obeying and agreeing with the industry agendas, protocols and standards to deceive, distract, infiltrate, and manipulate the minds and souls of the masses.
      5. By giving up his human rights and basis needs. And trade them in for privileges like money, fame, entertainment, comfort and conveniences.
      6. By going against his own Trinity( Mind, Body and Soul)
      Which will leave you fragmented, scattered, broken and disconnected from Source and Self!!!
      7. To go against Source -> the Divine Mother, Divine Father and the Son
      8. By having a Boss or a authority figure that rules over you!!!
      9. Living into illusions or other people’s narratives!!!
      10. By not living your truth!!!

      The Divine Mother isn’t real?!
      Who do you think the pope prays to?! The black Madonna aka The Divine Mother!! The Mother gives lives!!! She gives birth. She is the creator. Just how your mother gave birth to you!!! She comes first!!!
      If you don’t believe me google the picture where the pope is praying to!! There was even a documentary on it!!!
      Did you even watch this interview where even Dame stated that the woman has to be GOD!!! Or even close to it!!!
      The fact you even stated that the body and soul are the same is not even correct.
      Your body is temporarily!!! Your soul is infinite!!! You can’t take your body when you die!!!
      Your soul continues existing after your body is dead.
      Come on now!!! Use your common sense!!!
      If you compromise in one area of the Trinity(mind-body-soul) you fall victim period!!! Everything is connected!!! See it as a circle ⭕️. If there is a break aka a disconnect in the circle itself the energy can’t flow!!! It stops!!!

It taught you everything you mentioned and then some. We learned how to budget, balance, all about APR’s, credit lines/scores, learned about doing taxes ourselves and opening businesses and how Gary Barbera was an alumni of our school and took his (my teacher’s) class before graduating and now has one of the most successful car dealerships in Philadelphia. The knowledge is out there, what it needs to be is a class in every school. Not just private schools.

Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it.

      Yes indeed. That saying is that you have to get to know someone for yourself to understand genuinely and see an individual. People have always pre-judged me from outer appearance and missed it. I was the total opposite of what they thought! At the same time, being a wildcard is a little exciting, lol.

    Watched this interview twice. His wisdom, genius, business acumen and ethics as a man is highly commendable and worthy of being mimicked. Definitely misunderstood and ahead of his time.
    It’s easy to be misconstrued as cocky and arrogant when your humility is being threatened by the doubt of others. When you humbly tell somebody that you can do something and that person sternly doubts and underestimate you it’s hard not to stick your tongue out at him, Michael Jordan style, after an achievement and accomplishment. Salutes to Dame Dash. 🐐

      Hello
      Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
      On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
      While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
      I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
      I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life.
      Can we talk?

    As a black American, I have always been a fan of Dame Dash. I often called him "The Harriet Tubman of Hip Hop." However, it is one thing that he often discredits and that is education. You do not have to spend years and go into debt to educate yourself. There are plenty of certifications you can obtain to acquire the knowledge required to succeed. One of them are the certifications offered by the International Business Training Association (IBTA). I know a young black business doctor. Dr. Corbin Smith. He is an Authorized Training Partner for this organization. He helped me receive one of these certifications and it was at a fraction of the cost and time of a college. Also, the certifications are backed by the United States Department of Labor, so they have validity.
