How the fuck can you not respect this dude's grind?
really bruh?
hes a black man that cant control himself.
You my nigga but stop it B.
Do I think Lavar should fall back on interviews? Absolutely . He should be moving in silence, (never reveal your blueprint.) but any person that has the foresight, and creativity to find other ways to bring in revenue, not settle, or play a game that's rigged, and o bide by rules that don't benefit their families is good in my book. Don't get it twisted, I know you want to see Lavar win.
You being an entrepreneur, you of all people should know that people will always have something to say when you're building an empire. I know you're not going to let a person tell you how to run your business. So why should he? You're never celebrated until you win. You think Jeff Bezos, didn't go through that? Elon Musk?
Lavar Ball showed these athletes other ways. He gave some game, and that's the problem with our community. We don't chop up enough game, much less share it which is why we don't have a black Wall Street today. Hell Jeezy was on Everyday Struggle and talked about when he sat in board meetings when he was an A&R at Atlantic and what game he learned, he took it right back to the people so they can have an advantage. That's what economic empowerment is about.
There is an ESPN 30 For 30 episode called Sole Man. It talked about how Nike came up. Some Jewish guy who admitted that he put on an image so he could get colleges to wear the shoes and use up these college students with no compensation. Watch it.
Lavar aint show athlete nothing...that blueprint was already there. he just loud about it. bringing attention to it.
if he was really about helping other which he aint....he can make moves on the low.
as far as musk and bezzos....check this out.
these guys had to prove they are worth the talk. they had to sell their vision, they had to gain trust in investors. their stock rising at amazon and tesla is not because they are selling more its because investors believe in their dream....which is take over now and the profits will come later once we took over.
bruh i do case studies on many businesses so i can say that. as for musk...do you really think tesla is making profit like that? they are not...that is investors believing in his vision, it gets to a point where its too much to allow it to fail...
i can also say bezzos aint that smart...he doing the same shit marlo in the wire did. just take over everything or as much as you can. it doesnt take a genius to figure that out. but because he is proven and hold himself to a professional level...people want to invest in him.
an yes being an entrepreneur....i see alot of his mistakes that alot of people dont seem to get. i see where he hurt himself now hes trying to come back around to it. point being...he should have never made that mistake in the first place if he was serious about this business shit.
now you can support him blindly just off the fact hes black....but me..i need him to get his shit right. its not about how he speaks....he needs his mindframe right. understand how to move in this environment.
its ok to grasp at straws.....but be humble and understand you grasping at straws.
he is not showing me anything....im just being real. he has brainwashed kids that are afraid of being cut off, so they follow him. listen to their interview...they believe in what he says even if it doesnt make sense. they trust his system.
i can watch whatever you suggest...still dont change the fact that homie needs to chill.
even the lakers just met with him to say chill a bit. but he wont.
this keeps coming back to him not shutting up.
'does that mean he has to be submissive? no
does that mean allow someone else to run his business? no
but at some point you have to realize you hurt yourself and now your hurting others. you seeds.
There's some truth here. However, when you're a Black man like Lavar or Dame Dash that same annoying, charismatic, cut throat, boisterous, asshole, (pick one) approach is a negative but white men are touted for it. In fact they ride it to the top.
My point here is stop focusing on how much or how little Lavar will or will not make with his approach. In all honesty it aint none of your business. Bottom line is, he is doing right by his sons and family. They were by all standards good before all of this and they will be good well into the future.
thats what you think you see?
where is dame dash now? compared to true business minded jayz?
Jayz isn't more business minded than Dame. Jayz plays more of the submissive role. So, you have just made my point. The less threatening, least intimidating (at least on the surface) brothers get play. The same qualities that have cost Dame some paper doesn't cost white men paper who carry themselves the same.
I have seen this play out daily in my 20+ years in Corp. The brothers that have a more direct approach to not cash out like the ones who are more reserved..
bruh...what talent did dame bring? jayz.
jay aint submissive...he knows his position. he listens and learns. you will never hear him saying you cant teach him nothing.
he learned his moves by shutting his mouth and speaking when he can add value to who he is.
dame was a flashy nigga...fast talker.
so anyway....jay is close to a billie and dame is selling condos to make ends meet.
what are we really talking about?
We are talking about you projecting your opinion as to how another man should conduct business. If you don't know what talent Dame brought to the Roc and how he single handedly pushed Jayz into the spotlight then, you don't much about Dame.
Jay aint submissive but knows his position? He shuts his mouth? Sounds like you just described what whites consider a good lil nigger. I am not bashing Jay. The point I am attempting to make here is that the business world has all types of personalities. However, the one personality that seems to get shit on the most are the Black men who don't just shut up, play their position while saying fuck it. I got plan A through Z ready and will change course as needed.
im not saying what you think i am....
i am saying prove yourself then talk your shit....that goes for anyone.
jay talked his shit and charges niggas up for shit....but that didnt come without work and paying dues
