Damon Dash Assassinates Steve Stoute's Character

So, Damon Dash has been doing a lot of talking lately, and he recently said some very disrespectful things about Steve Stoute. Dame never really liked Steve, cos he believed Steve was one of the first record label execs that was trying to get Jay Z to cut him and Kareem Biggs out of their partnership with Roc-A-Fella Records. Steve once had a lot of clout in the music industry as a big exec, but he is now into Marketing and Advertising. But, Damon Dash wont let go of the past. In his recent interview with Hip Hop Motivation, he spoke on how Steve Stoute doesn't care about Hip Hop culture and only concerned with the checks he gets out of deals. 








"You know how many black people I tried to put together for movies and it always be that one group that always, you know, or because of Steve Stoute or somebody that's a culture-robber or doesn't care about his culture, would break that up. Even other black people break up other black people trying to stick together because it'll kill that little check because they got to connect with people. Steve Stoute. That's what he always does so he can bring us to get robbed. A guy like Steve Stoute would always take the people that are protecting the creative and eliminate them, so he could rob the creative. Just so he could get his money...Even if he kills that black man or that person's brand like how he did with Mary J. Blige like how I was against him putting Jay's old name on a $40 sneaker just so they could get a check. How he had Jay [Z] doing Budweiser with a confederate flag for a check. That's not good for your brand. I wouldn't do it like that. I'm not touching those. I don't like that dude because he doesn't care about his culture and he's a liar. I watched him tell me all the LL Cool J's business and Nas' business when they weren't doing well. So I never trusted him. I also watched Biggie Smalls' crew put lipstick and a wig on him when he fell asleep, that's how I first seen him. I couldn't respect him from that day."







Hmm! That part about Steve Stoute speaking on another man's finances ain't cool at all. But, I think whatever he did with Jay Z in terms of business moves had to be mutual. Of cos, you got to make money with your brand, and Jay Z is all about making the most from his brand. So I don't see anything wrong with that. And I would forever respect Stoute for what he did for Nas's career. He was responsible for the direction It Was Written (1996) went. If not for him getting Nas to broaden out and work with more radio friendly producers (but of cos still being the lyricist he is), Nas wouldn't have the legacy he has right now. He would have just been one of those old forgotten emcees that people respected at a time, but who never had longevity in the game.
