Dame Dash on fighting Hollywood, controlling your narrative, and Kanye West
Damon “Dame” Dash is the epitome of a hustler. A mogul and entrepreneur, he came to prominence co-founding Roc-A-Fella Records with Jay-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, then flipped that success into a number of notable business ventures, including a clothing company, a media collective, and his own television network (DTV) and streaming platform (Dame Dash Studios). On this episode of "The Tuff Juice Podcast," Dame talks about why he’s uniquely suited to thrive during the pandemic, the hurdles for black creators in Hollywood and importance of independence and controlling narrative, getting educated in both the streets and in private and boarding schools, his thoughts on Kanye West’s business moves, learning to farm from Minister Louis Farrakhan, and more.
