Jay needed Dame and Dame needed Jay. I always say it was the perfect marriage (II).

Dame would go in and fight for whatever Jay and the “team” that was Roc-A-Fella needed. If he did not get a fair deal (on anything), he would walk.

His voice was his “muscle” (whereas someone like Suge used to actually use his)…

But so was Jay’s.

Anyway, I worked with Dame last year – never again. It was a nightmare. I cannot knock his hustle, but he really did not have one at the time. He directs and orders when he has to realize that he actually no longer can.

That said, I wish to see him succeed again simply because of the aforementioned character trait – he grinds 24/7.

I just no longer see it happening with music on a financial level. This is about to be 2010 – it is no longer ’96 when you could make money far too easily selling music.

Things have changed.

(And let us hope that he does not “ball to he falls” this time around provided financial success does meet him again)

And Kanye realized that your success in the BUSINESS of music it based upon that end/aspect.

Business Never Personal ™EPMD – he simply did was best for his career. Had he gone with Dame, right now, we would be hearing stories about how Dame was taking flights on private jets by bartering his production and stealing his publishing checks (i.e. Beans).

He made the wisest choice – trust.

That is how people end up broke with their careers washed up in music…

Being loyal.

I am loyal (to those deserving of it) in my everyday life…

But in music – nah.

But unlike the majority in the industry, rather than screw you over (II)…

I will just decline to work with you.

I agree with realist^^^, it’s time for real music. My favorite music is live recording music because it’s so “free”.

People be taking the scientific method to music. Real Music comes from the soul (gut).

I’ve given up on holding my breath for releases, when it comes, it comes.

Maybe the new approach should be unorthodox & random releases without promo.

Perhaps it is better to throw product out there without all the traditional promotion and let it spread word of mouth, hand to hand, @ shows etc.

No matter what music is gonna be free online somewhere, but imagine creating a buzz where people actually wanted a PHYSICAL copy of your music, either for artwork, ltd edition type stuff, lyrics, dvd, or just because it is the ish!

i’m copping i don’t see why its so unreal that this would have an audience. i’m copping simply because i like the idea of people doing what they feel, i’m totally for that. this project and Dame’s moves right now in general are free of a lot of the industry bullsh!t and the end result has to be good music and better yet fast output. the currency, Jay elec project already being 6 tracks in… i mean c’mon!

There are people that are simply just fans of good music and they will cop, i don’t think any real fan of music confines themselves to one genre

Hmmm…downloaded some BlackRoc songs, while the music is OK, what is the audience for this? Black Keys fans won’t cop and nobody buys rap compilations…unless there’s a hit in there somewhere (haven’t heard one) this project will not sell. Bad idea.
