Damon Dash On Putting On Kevin Hart And Lee Daniels & Calls Out People With His Name In Their Mouths

Willie D live when you're ahead you have to wait for a whole world because I've been doing streaming since like literally I was I had a television network on YouTube and two before they were monetizing before there were commercials creative control with Cy and shik you know that was 2005 I've literally been smoking weed and waiting for everyone to catch up this whole time I had a streaming service before Netflix you know what I'm saying so that's why I learned the uh you know the pay subscription doesn't work it got to be free but you got to have the ad plug I can't make no money getting 1% and then breaking that with some it don't make no sense so my point to all of that is yeah I've been injecting working I haven't caught that lick in a minute and I'm still all right and when this thing turns I should catch right back up but what you know is what have I tried to do and come out with I've been practicing I direct I can show you a rock and roll project that I just did with freeway a movie that I just directed that I just put out in theaters myself I can show you a book that we just made a comic book a magazine a clothing line some sneakers some glasses all these things done on my own no funding no none of that I made a whole independent Boutique conglomerate now I might be all right with getting a partner but I have something tangible is there there's something that I could uh you know I could I could predict how much money I think it's going to make but I had to have all of those things cuz why have a television network and not be able to put my own commercials for a product that I own right next to someone that someone else owns my my my ads go right with Nike meaning if I got sneakers I got sneakers add right next to Nike you know if if if if if if Raiders of the Lost Arc is coming out Prince of Detroit is right there movie my point is on every vertical I'm showcasing how creative I am I'm not even a great businessman I just like being creative but I'm going be free you can't do what you want unless and and you can't do what you want in a house unless it's yours if you don't own that house you can't do what you want so I would rather own a small house than have to be in somebody else's big house and can't go in the refrigerator and walk around without my clothes on pause you know what I mean I would rather just have a nice little joint and have it decorated correctly but it's mine you know and I could build it at my choice I if I mess up the floors is my floors to mess up so I get to burn while I learn I you know when I made honor up that cost me a million dollars out my pocket I learned that it only should cost me 200 but if it was somebody else's money I couldn't have done that you know what I mean I can't I would never get hired to be a CEO I would never get hired to be a director I would never get hired to make a sneaker no one's hiring me to do anything that I've ever done so that's why you have to be an entrepreneur to make your dreams come true because if you dream that you want to be the president cuz I always wanted to be the president but not of the United States just the president of something that's mine my own country it could be this big as long as I'm the president you understand what I'm saying so in order for me to be the president of anything I had to create a company and then I was able to make myself the CEO now I'm the chairman you can call yourself when you what you want when it's yours you can make any title or I'm able to give my son my music vertical Blue Rock music if it wasn't mine I wouldn't have nothing to give him he' take that I actually create companies based on my kids dreams so I have to be well-versed in everything so again I'm you know music is my thing Fashion Is My Thing movies is my thing you got remember I put Kevin Hart on um Lee Daniels I discovered you know I funded his first movie and put Kevin in first two movies so I'm kind of Savvy in a lot of things so if I put all of that on a network then everything you see I should also be selling if we wearing clothes I'm making the clothes if we drinking liquor I should own that liquor you smoking weed I should have that brand I should anything you see is a commercial for something I'mma buy down to the music and to me that's all creative art for me to be able to make a record make a movie make the clothes in the movie make the music in the movie be able to distribute the movie be able to edit the movie all of that is just me having fun and then be able to monetize it I'm not I've never been a businessman or else I'd do anything I could for money see a true businessman does anything they could for money they compromise they'll bite their lip and let somebody talk to them a certain way that's not me I can't be a businessman because honestly it's like it's my Integrity before the money right and that might not be the best thing but I know my kids love me and I'm the president in my house right right you you um you mentioned having fun and we used to see you in the videos back in the Gap always having fun popping the Chris style and all that last night yeah we but we used to see that publicly with the videos and stuff and we don't see that much is not like now when we see typically we see you in public you checking somebody you are you're talking about some major Venture that you have and you you know it's serious a lot a lot we see a lot of more a lot more serious Dame um is is that I guess you just answered that because I was going to ask you is that is that is that fun Dame kind of more reserved for your friends and and family close people it's just that y'all always see me in the ring they don't they don't show nothing else so when when when when before I there was Instagram they only show Clowns champagne Dame so if you ever look at my interviews I'd be like I don't know why you only show me you know popping bottles mhm and Y never show the business I do they never did that another thing they never showed was I was a single dad the whole time taking care of a little boy my son they never said that cuz to me that was the thing I was the most proud of how come they never talk about that I went to court got my son and do all this Rockefeller stuff I take my kid to school every day and take pride in that they never talked about that so until that's why like a person that's looking for Freedom once the internet I knew the future of the internet as soon as I I retired I retired from the playing these games I'm like now I can control my own narrative and once I could now you see how I'm looked at so if there wasn't me speaking on me and controlling my narrative you think champagne Dame loud stupid and broke living in the shelter somewhere they don't show no they never put anything in the paper but my bills at all and I'd be proud I'd be like yeah I'm cracked I just in invested $100 million so what that's like I just bought 30 cakes 30 bricks in the street you you were Dawn for that but of course they're going to make you think somebody winning being independent is losing because they don't want you to be independent you got dumb asses like Vlad TV keep saying my name cuz I'm clickbait because for some reason like why did they respect this guy so much why does a leor and a Vlad people from other cultures always question what I do and want people to remember me a certain way cuz no one remembers you because I've control my narrative by being consistent and fighting for the people I love nobody understands the love I get cuz they don't give no love you don't understand how to get love unless you know how to give it so they don't even get it yeah I know I'm loved because I love my people if I didn't love my people my people wouldn't love me you know I'm not going to make money with you or you spend money with me anytime you spend money with me I want you educated I want you to buy something with me cuz I can eat and then you can go and actually make whatever I told you into some money so that's what happens whenever I I get caught up whenever I have to promote one of my products I end up trying to talk to the culture cuz whoever usually like you know in in in the masses or that's working corporate they're always asking me something that behooves corporate and it's like trying to trigger me and trying to get that Viral moment well now I'm going to make you the viral Moment by being smart see the trick is to go viral by doing something smart not dumb you could go viral by getting punched in the face or punching in the face or being violent or doing some dumb [ __ ] any day that's cheating but do something smart create a new algorithm not for dysfunction for evolution let let's see you be art do that cuz that's the only thing that's gangster to me all the real gangsters I know they always want to do good they only doing what they got to do but once they don't have to they usually don't so I'm not trying to be make looking at my my culture continue to make money from like I'm not fighting no other black man that's done cuz I know the even if I want to I'm not doing it unless it's with gloves because that's what they want us to do you know IR was talking [ __ ] about me and Page Six was calling me like you know IR is talking about you what you got to say to that I said I spoke at Harvard yesterday right about that but when two black men might have a disagreement you going to put that in the newspaper so we could you understand what I'm saying you know as I mentioned earlier you're very passionate and when it come to our people and you you know it's it's easy to see how much you care uh how much you genuinely genuinely care about our people I just don't like nerds punking us here's a question that I have um knowing how much that you love our people and how passionate you are and how how passionate you are about us getting our respect how did how did you reconcile uh what what you heard Kanye say when Kanye said uh that slavery was a choice well how how did how did you and I know Kanye is a good friend of yours so how how did you deal with that I had a conversation with him okay so number one and I had a conversation with van so I can show you I can I brought van to my and I said let's talk about this now you know that man is bipolar why would you bring him to T and ask him questions while you know he's triggered he's clinically bipolar number one number two I say slavery is a choice right now but not slavery is a choice back then right now for us to think that there are Masters is our choice right now but I don't think he meant back then but again I can accept that I can accept that and that's the thing is like sometimes I would have conversations with Kanye and he would kind of say what I'm saying but say it wrong so it's the context but you always have to give that man and even though he's a billionaire it doesn't mean that he he's not bipolar you know and he's not going to say bipolar and he going to get mad at me for saying it but he's bipolar cuz I've had to deal with it I've seen it so I'm like yo why could hases anybody ever dealt with somebody that's bipolar the one thing you don't do when somebody's triggered is put him in front of cameras the most dangerous thing for a Bipolar person is money a billionaire bipolar means while you're bipolar everyone's still listening to you a broke bipolar they putting you in the room until the ambulance comes but you know if you making $5 $6 million a year with this man bipolar or not certain people are still listening that's what I why y'all keep listening to him right now y'all know he's triggered y know he's you know what I mean it is what I don't care what he's saying nobody that's bipolar says they're bipolar while they're triggered no one that me like oh you know I'm bipolar I'm having the attack right now nah they just start bugging out so why would you like that that's that's the problem I had with people around him why you keep putting him in front of the camera when he's triggered and I'd have to be the person that say yo get off the ranch you know man I'm really glad that I'm having this conversation with you about Kanye because I be going in on Kanye ass and and I don't want to go in on Kanye but I love my people too and when some when I feel like we're under attack I don't care what the ethnicity of the person is I'm going in he deserves it yeah he he not he doesn't he doesn't not want you to go in on him he does that so you do that he's a person that P triggers look at his career George Bush doesn't like black people ran up on Taylor Swift as one publicity stun after another he that's his model is triggering you the more just like Trump every time Trump says something racist and we hate it somebody loves it he's not talking for us he's talking for the ones that love it Trump you understand what I mean so it's the same thing you know that's why I don't pay him like I already know with him if uh let's say he says let's do something it sends an order to somebody if they get it right the first time he's still going to say he don't like it cuz he's just Troll he's a troll he got everybody dressing like a crackhead bro he's doing this [ __ ] on purpose that's why be don't do that man you know what I mean you know what I mean like I know what you're doing you trolling he walking around barefooted he's trolling he like watch this I can get dudes to wear tights and Barefoot I like I don't know you can do that one but he I'm not saying we had that combo I'm like when I see it I'm like yo he bugging but I know he's playing you know he wants you to get at him he does it on why why would he do the things he does if he doesn't want the reaction and another I wanted to say to you uh point you box right yeah you know that if you brace your face the punch usually doesn't knock you out just the ones you don't see that Knock You Out M so that's why in life if you walk around with your face out my [ __ ] just break cuz I know I'm going get hit so that's the thing when you get into a ring you know you're going to get hit it doesn't mean you stop it means you block hit or and then you hit back giving hit is part of the game that's why I love boxing it's one-on-one and it's life it's about your stamina not your skill you know your skill is important but the stamina is way more you understand what I mean if if you can't pass a minute you ain't it's over you could get look good for 30 seconds but once you tired and somebody on your head what you going to do and everybody's looking nothing well if you have two people that are skilled and have stamina the person who's most skilled are going to win that fight true but if they both skilled and one has less stamina and he runs out of gas absolutely he going yeah so yeah of course the skill if they if they both are are if you have both then yeah you're going to win but if you don't have stamina you can't go 14 you know 10 Rounds you can't you could go one or two that's why I could never really box cuz I didn't want to run I like I said I'll get in the ring and give you a minute or three you know what I'm saying I give one but you know what I'm saying after that you know everything you know what it is when you when you just lose you be like oh man when is this round going to be over you know what I mean once it gets to that point you done so if if you so so so my point is life is a fight you have to have stamina you should have some skill and you're going to get hit but you got to hit back you better block brace your face when you get hit cuz you will but it won't knock you out if you act like a punch isn't coming and you're not going to see it you're going to end up waking up on the floor and that's life
