I grew up in a lot of different places. I always saw the bigger picture. I was around rich kids with country houses and private jets. No disrespect to those people, but I never thought they were super geniuses. I couldn't see how I wasn't going to have those things, too.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella were two equal entities under the Def Island umbrellas.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Big shout out to Nas: if you want to scream my name out again and put my name in your rhyme, I think it's funny. Let's make some money from it. Just don't take it so serious, man.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Every little thing I've done as an adult and as a young adult, I've done diabetic.
Quote by -Damon Dash
You do something when you're 20, and you're still paying for it when you're 40.
Quote by -Damon Dash
It's incomprehensible for me to hear another dude talk about another's dude's pockets and have that matter and argue about that.
Quote by -Damon Dash
It's very rare that a person, especially in his twenties and thirties, can do more than one business and do it well.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I don't like to be considered a 'hip-hop mogul.' I don't know what that means.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I never really considered myself super hip-hop, ever in life. I don't think anything that I've done reflects that.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Everything that scared me is losing people I love, and everyone that I really love, as it relates to females, I've lost. So what it's made me be is the animal that I am because I don't want to sit down and think about the things that are hurting me, but, you know.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I lost my girl a couple years back, Aaliyah, in a plane crash. I wasn't expecting that, and also, my mother died, and at the time, my father wasn't in my life; the only person that took care of me was my mom.
Quote by -Damon Dash
The reason why Roc-A-Fella crossed and became so essential to pop culture is that we were probably the most authentic people that were also so sophisticated.
Quote by -Damon Dash
When you're a business man, you have a lot of businesses, a lot of times they think you're laundering money or you're pretending you're writing things off that you don't.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I think that the better sign of an OG is when he's happy that the person that he raised got bigger than him and in a position where they could help.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I believe in therapy, and I believe an objective opinion sometimes helps you be a better person.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I work hard, so I surround myself with people that work just as hard. It's important if you want to create a successful brand.
Quote by -Damon Dash
My delivery can be intense, but it's intense because I need to be heard. I know that people don't usually listen, as it relates to constructive criticism, without getting offended. So, I speak my mind with an attitude that I don't care if you get offended; I just want you to get the message.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I always approach logic without emotion. The math always equals the math. Regardless of whether I discovered the math before anyone else, or I just decided to accept it, I know what logically makes sense, and I'm going to speak on it every time.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Just cause you don't agree with a man, 'cause you're black, don't mean you gotta fight, argue. You just have a different perspective.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Everyone I put in business, I must've taught them something. They all have reaped the benefits of it. A lot of them haven't done right by me, but it's all gravy.
Quote by -Damon Dash
It's hard not to be confident when you put in business the biggest black male in comedy, Kevin Hart. I know I took him off a stage and put him in his first four movies. I know I did that.
Quote by -Damon Dash
I was in 'Fiesta,' but only because Aaliyah said she wanted me to do it that way.
Quote by -Damon Dash
If you remember 'The Best of Both Worlds,' you don't see my name on that... I never wanted no part of that.
Quote by -Damon Dash
My thing is to have a good, profitable company, for it to be 100% owned independently.
Quote by -Damon Dash
Those people are corny. You think I'm rolling to a club with Lyor Cohen or John Meneilly?
Quote by -Damon Dash
I monetized my life so I never do anything that I don't like or that I'm not participating in 100 percent.
Quote by -Damon Dash
The thing is, I have been diabetic, and I've been saying I'm diabetic; it's just, people don't write about it to showcase it or to bring awareness to it. So those are just the things that weren't spoken about. And, just like everything else, I had to do it myself to be heard.
