Lol you can tell Hop did the right thing for his career
Dude sounds like a clown and he did nothing wrong at all? So suspect
Riley what's up
hey what up riley
Nah. Hopsin acted like a little bitch and destroyed something amazing because someone called him out in his pussy bullshit. Go smoke some weed and calm down
This comment aged like fine milk
Dame is such a corporate shark. he's good at sounding nice. won't say he doesn't have a point at all but when u have a partner who u know doesn't communicate well or shows their discontent he as a "better" person Try to do to get him to open up. I work in a corporate world.seen many sharks like this. he always points a finger at others but can't see he was part of the problem as well.
Many do not realize that the best liars are the ones who present themselves as the superior.
exactly. in this video he kinda admit he knew there was something escalating and as a friend slash partner instead of trying to resolve it. he did the typical. sad really. damn jokerr was right about dame then. I haven't heard a humble word from dame at all. I used to use tactics like this before. again I understand it's hard to work for a prima dona but if ur one as well..then there's no resolution at all. one has to be the face but the other could be the influence if done correctly. sad they had such a good thing going too
i just said the same thing on a comment above this one which the end of it was this, 'The Truth is one that speaks on your good actions and the actions that show your own faults, without that then you are just bullshitting...'
True. while I do think hopsin himself have things to work out. tbh I think both made mistakes here that none will admit. also the radio dj dude the fatter one.hes quite an ass isn't he ?haha
passive agreesive was dude
it sounds like there was just a ton of miscommunication between them
Yea and it's the managers job to be transparent and communicate well. You see how everyone's attacking Hop shits pathetic. Dame has a degree in this shit bro and has been doing this for years. All I hear from Dame is a bunch of excuses!
@@coreymiller8226 this did not age well, just like the majority of this comment section
1:12 hrs later, this dude seems genuine as hell. Focused and business oriented. No idea what to think. Disappointing for them to end it.
LOL i dont know who to believe but when this guy said hopsin doesnt work hard Hahahaha. All this time since the breakup and hopsin has: released singles and videos, started a new label, signed an artist, done shows. And this guy has done: NOTHING for funk volume or for jarren or dizzy. I believe the evidence and actions.
who did hop sign ?
Watch the interview. He said, he isn't talking bout the music. He's talking about the behind the scene stuff. The meet and greets, the appearances, and he said some other ish. But he's calling himself the co-founder like he put in assets valued at 50% With NO music experience he bugged out.
man hes so right about the social media thing. someone has a platform so you believe it as truth
"you don't even work hard Hop" is way too disrespectful
I'm a big fan of hopsin but let's be real... we have no idea how hard hop does or doesn't work
Now you really can see the mindset of people in the comment section. Absolutely biased opinions, and a lot of following suit. Did anybody even take the time to even listen to this interview and think about it. SON any functioning person can tell Hopsin IS EMOTIONAL, and acts off of impulse. Now I am a huge Hopsin fan and I can honestly say listening to this interview made me realize where fame was coming from.
I really wish I knew what was going on with Hop and why he threw away his crew. idk man Dizzy kicks ass and I'd love to see all those cats get big
Stop saying cat, pussy
get over yourself you fucking bronie
don't argue with someone that want's to fuck internet ponies ahahha.
Agreed, Hop has always been quite strange in behaviour I believe he is bi polar
The thing is, you would never expect that from him talking to him in person. When I met him in early 2012 he was a real nice guy, he took the time to talk with the fans and take photos, sign autographs and whatnot. I talked with him for a good 10 minutes or so before everyone knew he was in the room. Jarren & Crooked I are the only ones I've met that actually will stand there and have long conversations with people.
Now obviously people can put on an act.
Hops blowing up now! Dude said Hopsin doesn't work hard and now he dropping tracks left and right. This Dude is another Jerry Heller. Hop is one of the hardest working rappers in the game. This Cat was holding back the crew and Funk Volume. He straight out the Penn trying to be a mini Sug. with no backing or street cred. I been watching hop since Sag my pants dropped. I was in first 800 viewers. Watch the rest fade and Hop is going to blow the fuck up.
Cya Jerry Heller
I remember when I first met Dame on the I Am Raw tour, I was like "What's up Dame!!" (All Excited) and he was like "Do I know you man???" I was like "hell na bro, but you're famous now" lol. That was back when they were still transitioning into Stars. Crazy how time flies.
lmao he called hopsin the co founder of the label
Right. He should've been CEO and made this guy President or Executive VP. CO-FOUNDER LOLOLOLOL!!
He..... was though.....
@@forgetfulfunctor1 he was co owner hopsin was the founder funk volume was his original rap name. There's a difference
@@timothymcknight5765 ooOOOooOOo contracts be damned, HoSpin CAMe uP witH NamE
@@forgetfulfunctor1 He came up with the entire label thought thats what ur not getting
You inspired me for this one Dane. The power of working together!
Don't listen to Funk Volume, but it's obvious Hopsin just wanted a new direction with either new people or more of himself. He's unlike the people signed to the label so he probably didn't like what it had become. He's not starting over though lol, he is 'Funk Volume' and his social media presence is what makes it work so starting over would be starting a new Facebook, Twitter etc account, not leaving 'Funk Volume'. This guy saying what he said gave him the green light to do what he already planned.
this man looks like DJ Drama from the side
Man, I love Hop's music and I'm glad it has all worked out for him thus far but I'm honestly believing Dame's side of the story better.
And honestly the main reason why is because as Dame's explaining how Hop acts I'm hearing a lot of my own attitudes and flaws and I believe it cause I honestly reckon that's how I'd react in those situations too.
Still, though, aside from the messy breakup I hope Hop keeps doing what he's doing. His music is excellent and I'm keen to hear more.
Awesome self awareness bro. Out of interest, 6 years on from your comment, do you think you've changed for the better?
Thanks for clearing the air Dame.
am i the only one who noticed that this dude is wearin funk volume, and still movin?😂
Still Movin is Dizzy wrights new independent Label..
you too
Lol
Burton Hip Hop he probly can't afford new clothes now that he isn't making a bunch of money off hop
this is his opinion, hopsin said his, it doesn't matter who's in the right since it's from both of there perspectives
Dame is really good at portraying the good guy. especially compared to hopsin who can be errtic at times when trying to explain things. But I can tel he played a major role in the destruction as well, I have been in similiar situations with business partners. and when egos get involved it never mixes well. Dame casually never admits that he was making more than every other artist besides hopsin..and hopsin made 85% of the gross income for fv. Dame was building a stance to solidify himself into agreement with hop, jarren, and dizzy, where eventually he would make roughly 35% of each of their incomes and hopsin didnt like that he was funding this for someone he did not agree with. The same reason dame did not w ant to give up the royalties after it was done. I definitely see through his BS hopsin made him entirely too much control and money. But Hop is also a bitch for throwing everyone under the bus and switchng up on his fans for money too.
Reclusive Records Inc. who did he throw under the bus?
Unknown Entity he left funk volume and ditched the crew
its cause he was the "good guy", granted there was no bad guy since it was mostly communication
dame seems so down to earth I wouldn't mind meeting him one day and just having a chat?..
i got a real quick note, how the fuck did bliss and dude get behind the table if theyre blocked in on both sides
Crawled under lmao
I want to know if the Warner deal still exists with any of the former members of Funk Volume
OECEntertainment probably not, once a contract ends, everything else ends with it, but I'm not sure... Just my guess
Congratulations Dame for acting like a grown man. Suprisingly few men can actually do it.
yeah, seems like Hopsin is the one who needs to mature a bit more. there's only one loser here, we the fans.
How does hopsin need to mature ? Bruh, he was calm as fuck for getting fuckin betrayed by a shit manager.
nuff said
d
yeah... he stole Hops money with class... that is all that matters .. Dame was Hops manager and co owner of the label .. That is bad business.. Dame is a snake
I've been in business my whole life and I'm in upper corporate management.
He's a liar and very skilled at it. I do think he did the nice things he did cause it was hitting him in the pocket book.
lmao hop explained this whole interview in 90 bars , he literally addressed just about everything being talked about here
I remember bout this time last year when I was all "fuck same he did this! He did that!" But that's cuz for as big as a Hopsin fan I was an still am I just looked at what I was being told from one side n back a few months ago randomly it accrued to me that how bad dame must've have felt n now knowing that his name is basically tarnished for life. I love hop man I really do but I think he just used this lil bump in the road for the label n seen it as a opportunity to make a scene n turn it upside down just so he could start something which is UP cuz I don't think he was happy wit where he was within the FV label
I want to see this next project from Dame and Dizzy to come along. The whole fitness thing, I would be so down to work with.
Respect.
Dude in the red clearly had his opinion made before the interview even started. Obviously he don’t like hop
Well he was right
25:18 hopsin and Jokerr
Dame lying. Saying “ I could’ve left and Hopsin could’ve kept the label and let something I make keep going “ suuuuure Dame that’s why Hop said you said “ I’m not leaving “
i believe Dame. Grown man talk.
Remember y'all, there is always at least two sides to every story. Some stories, there are many, just watch what people are telling you and thinking that their right. Just because they are more popular pr famous does not mean that they were not in the wrong.
It's starting to seem that hopsin wanted 100% of the label and got in his feelings that dame got 50% or w.e
Do your research Houston really started funk volume. Dame was using these guys.
Ty Houston started funk volume
Hearing that hopsin didn't like dizzy at first confirmed so much shit for me. Like in some small freestyle videos they made for fun and even in some actual songs, hop would ALWAYS subliminally and sometimes more upfrontly diss dizzy but play it off as he's just playin.
I've always found it ironic too that Dizzy even signed for FV since Hop has like the opposite morals of Dizzy.
weed is not drug
Ivan Klaric Weed in fact is a drug, it alters the mindset, some people can't function without it, it's addictive... it is a drug bro. Tabacco is grown just like weed, except it doesnt alter the mindset, still considered a drug. :p
Darqsy then chocholate is a drug,hamburger is drug. I can be addictive to anything that exist on this world so that what are you saying doesnt make any sense. Only reason why Marihuana isnt legal is cuz there is multi milion investmen in pharmacies that makes money from people being "depresed" having "headache" or anything that is coused by this lifestyle. Repetitive cycle that is here to make you go crazy and sick people are making money from that.
Ivan Klaric chocolate has caffeine in it...which is drug. and you make no sense, hamburgers are food, not a substance that can be abused. and you can't just get addicted to hamburgers and have a withdrawl from not eating them. I'm not saying Weed shpuld be illegal, i think the opposite actually. but dont be ignorant, it is indeed a drug. and learn to spell the thing you are defending. *Marijuana
and didnt Dizz say TEAMWORK MAKE THE DREAMWORK DAMMIT. lol
Jokerr gets referenced at 25 😂
got more respect for Dame, he seems like a real dude
Anyone else peep how the lady was just casually checking dame out.......
lets not forget Dame was paying them all what HE felt they deserved, not what they actually we're entitled too, - And then taking the 2nd highest pay AFTER hopsin??,.. and hes just a manager!!! with no talent involved but email sending and weak promo!!! - he was making more the Jarron and Dizzy put together, his position and his work ethic shouldn't of been collecting the 2nd highest pay in the label - and then one thing they don't touch on in this interview is how after all that, Dame was raising his wages as manager in the last weeks of FV before the beef escalated... Dames a shady goof, and the interviewers are not asking the real questions they need to be asked. stupid ppl...
+Digginz009 you obviously don't know the work and responsibility that actually goes into running a fucking label do you?
***** sick of idiots like you who have no common fuckin sense,
"You don't even work hard" dude I didn't even know who uou were I didn't know about your label until I found Hopsin. Hopsin's following came through hard work.
like without relying on Swizzz and Hopsin this guy wouldn't have a career.
honestly I think hopsin wanted to take his music in a different direction and didn't think he could do it there
doubt it. the direction he is in now isn't something he couldn't do in FV. He just has a lroblem with vengeful spirit
hopsin said dame wouldnt let hop keep funk volume
I don't think we'll ever know what really happened between Dame and Hopsin, but at least he's still putting out good music. To be honest I was never really a Funk Volume fan to begin with, with the exception of Hopsin and Jarren Benton.
I'm sorry, it is the managers job to get the artists out there. Sticking in there and waiting it out another year is an excuse. Not meeting expectations or goals as a team; you need to question that. The question about money, schedules and Dame's overall bad managing in general sounds shady to me. All in all, it was a good decision to dump Dame as a manager - it is obvious that Hops doesn't need him anymore and this is all clear from the release of Undercover Prodigy. He's finally getting to where he wants to be as an artist
For those of you who are saying hop is a bitch just think you where hop for a second so your making like 80% of FV's money feeding people and your label owner your manger your accountant (dame) saying you don't work hard after being warned by dizzy not to say that and going out of his way to say you don't work hard hop so thing of it that way
Anyone who’s been a fan of Hopsin could see obvious mental instability throughout his early career and later, so when he spazzed out and completely ditched, dizzy, and Jaron and threw Funk volume in the trash, I didn’t just side with him the first thing I thought was that he just had one of his Yearly, mental breakdowns, and an issue that could probably be solved behind the scenes he decided to blow up…….
After listening to dizzy and now this interview it just kind of proved me right …Hopsin is still the best rapper and he’s the reason why most people even cared about Funk volume but that doesn’t mean that he’s perfect or made the right decisions ……. I truly felt bad for Dizzy Wright. He could’ve easily climbed the ranks and been collaborating with huge name rappers in the industry while Hopp continued to dominate and control the underground scene plus Jarren Benton coming in underneath seemed like they had nothing but the world ahead of them, I’m gonna be even more honest I think dizzy after a couple years could’ve actually started to outshine Hopsin because of his main stream, industry connections, and the fact that he didn’t burn so many bridges by dissing everybody dizzy was the ultimate weapon able to click with underground rappers and main stream rappers as well
Am only here for hop who is this guy!!!!
lol dame talking about the jokerrs phone call with hopsin..
3Way Entertainment what minute?
I'm not re watching it just to find the quick moment where its mentioned.. when he says another artist posted a phone call on youtube
one thing that bugs me is he kept saying hop never worked with any of the other artists. but several songs with him and swizzz. why he never included swizzz when talking about hop working with someone. it was always only dizzy and jaron.
But as far as this whole shit goes, i care less about the business bullshit. i still like swizzz and still like hop, still gonna rock both their music. this shit doesn't sway my thoughts on anyone, dame seem cool to ill never let diss tracks or negative bullshit bother my opinion because only a bitch changes with the wind. it's like switching sides, or following someone only when they winning.
That was before the crew got big of course hop and Swizzz did music cause they started together but when dizzy and jarren came Swizzz stopped releasing music
Which was such a shame, because Swizzz can hold his own. But i think that maybe Hop just didnt get down with those two, but he was down with Swizzz, so if he did still release music i would think that maybe dames statement would hold true to those two artists, but with swizz it wouldnt. Which in the end wouldnt mean he refused to altogether, it would just mean to certain ppl and artist within said crew he wouldnt. Basically, i like him and enjoy his shit, but you im not to into. like a i wanna work with who i like the most kinda thing maybe. Though i guess its niether here nor there. I'm just saying if he did in the past then it cant be that he just never would period, there might be some deep issues with this that hasnt came to light imo
y
where this guy come from? why does he deserve more the hopsin?
if you would let him have is own manager
All of this happened because they both got offended and they misinterpreted stuff i feel like they could really all come back together
funny that damian looks a tiny lil bit like slim or smaller suge knight and ritter mean knight in german :)
the Jokerr was right
Hopsin did the right move just watch
the cognitive dissonance is real
"I guess that was a better question for Hopsin. God dammit."
He disrespected hopsin point blank period bro made him leave his own label he created himself. Disrespectful
The cancer is strong in this comment section.
Hopsin don’t work hard... says the wealthy man who got his wealth due to hopsin working hard.. bro wtf
just based off of hops history he does tend to burn a lot of bridges it maybe time to realize hes the problem
this video is WAY to long is there a summary for this?
I believe Hopsin will wake up.
I'm gona say 1 thing, we will see in 1 year who is stell making money who s not. Then u know who did all the work. Invite dame then...
i will never trust dame again after funk volume fitness...
Why, you didn't gain the muscle you wanted? lol
none of us were in there to know what really happened so its open to interpretation. in my opinion it could have been a miss understanding but who knows, i wasnt there.
I cant be the only one that think Dame has that Kaepernick vibe and tone.
James Stephens second that
Damn after watching all of Hops stuff I was expecting a monster. Kinda disappointed that he seems like a normal dude and this looks like a big miscommunication. Eh Hopsin fan for life no matter the politics!
I'm still a fan of Hop but after listening to this I see Hop just wanted a exit strategy for undercover prodigy. While i do belive it was a good move since Funk Volume was becoming stagnant, I wish he could have finished Funk Volume differently.
This is what a lack of communication and fame will do, and has done to so many people before.
Tha manager should be Hiring a promoter to promote tha music their putting out,so the
artist/artists can focus on the music
They were independent for a reason...
honestly its sad but fk it any1 know how to contact Dame ? any social media
Around 10:20. I'm convinced that hop did a good thing. I hope dizzy realizes this dude is a snake.
Being emotional & using "Social Media" to vent in this business, can & probably will end a career.
YouNeek I was excited about that trio. When I watched Dizzy Wright tell his side, I was like wtf? lol He still mad. 😂😂😂
Hopsin has 3 plat records dame didn't help and he said hop doesn't work hard
Bullshit Dame didnt owe the people anything! He is the whole reason HOPSIN went solo
don't make me call don dude...
There's always 3 sides to a story. One side, the other side and the whole truth.
Even MONTHS, after the this "fact"... Dame fucked up. A True Story teller like Hopsin wouldn't fabricate the shit this boy sayin
Wilson Paez I knew hop was telling the truth when Dame said Hopsin wanted lawyers to go over the numbers and i didn't understand why .. lol what?? If you got nothing to hide who the fuck cares .. I would be sketched out too if a man didn't want my lawyeys to check shit .
Okay so say that don't just say your lazy you don't even work hard that can be misinterpreted and you are the manager don't tell your main artist that, you don't even work hard, like who the fuck are you? do you work hard do you work harder than hopsin? no you don't, he carried that label on his back and you spit on that by saying shit. A better thing to say is Hop I know you are working hard but we need to step it up, we need to be on our grind and put 150% effort on promoting out product.
He look like Usher
Is it just me or does this nigga sound a little bit like Kevin hart
hopsin need to smoke some weed i think dame telling the truth hopsin stop being too anti social u a rapper rappers have to be around people
Fuck still moving
Sorry to say it but it sounds like he keep his word to Hopsin. That he was going to replace Hopsin for Dizzy...smdh
A year later. Look at Hopsin's career and look at Dizzy's career. You really think this guy is telling the truth? Google Funk Volume and it's all Hopsin albums and Dizzy articles about him blaming fans and Hopsin for the failure of Funk Volume. NWA all over again man. Hopsin is making millions and these two are doing just "Okay". It's a real shame Dizzy doesn't see it.
FolkLordll this dude just said he thought he deserved more then 50 percent lmaooooo
i work well with others and i kno how to stay in my lane lol
Well if dame good with his gambling like the way he talk none of this happen lol 🤣🤣
#BlameDame!
Hop grinds, dame coat tails he did nothing for funk volume but run it into the ground and ruined a lot of people's careers
now they just need jarren benton
Dame just did some shady shit and in this interview they were talking about Hopsin not being active with Fv and the artist but Hopsin has always been working bye himself the only person he did a lot of shit with was SwizZz and ever since Hopsin left Fv he put 100
Times more work in Fv ending was the worst news I heard but For Hopsin when he's bye him self he works harder
you obviously didn't watch the video with a unbiased judgment
i have seen every interview so i built my own opinion
as i said "you obviously didn't watch this with an Unbiased Opinion"
this is analogous to lil wayne and birdman. the common denominator is the artist is the record label, without the rapper there is no label.
Lol what b***h! Saying hop doesn't work hard. That's some bs. Smh. A business doesn't work when one person is dishonest. Also, hopson did the right thing, he is doing so much better on his own!
I believe dame. More people believe hop because he has so many fans.
i dont believe either, and i question both, in my experience, both have detrimental facts that will harm themselves that they wont speak on, and both sides will bullshit a little and make themselves look like the one in the right.... the only one i would believe is the one that speaks on his own faults and things that he fucked up on and says things similar to " i cant speak for the other guy" or "In my opinion" . Simply because if you dont speak on your own faults then you are just trying to make yourself look good, and if you are making yourself look good then you do have dark secrets that you are trying to hide. Most of the time. 'The Truth is one that speaks on your good actions and the actions that show your own faults, without that then you are just bullshitting...'
Bro, this has nothing to do with hop having fans. Stop being delusional and think about what happend
+Zach WhoAmI lol then why is both jarren and dizzy both cool with dame?
Shit like this is never "X is right, Y is wrong". When it comes to drama both sides are partially right and partially wrong - the truth lies somewhere in the middle of Hop's side and Dame's side.
Capnsensible80 Exactly, Dame probably did some shit that seemed shady and thats on him, but the fact that ONLY hop has a probably with him is just suss af imo
I've met Hop and Dame several times. Even worked an FV in the community event with Dame, and even though I love hopsins music, when this whole break up originally started, I knew hop was overreacting. Dame is very smart and level headed. Hopsin reacts too much on emotion. While I do think dame always preferred working with dizzy over hop, I know dame always had the best interest for hop and the whole label. It's bad right now, but something is telling me FV will be back in 2-3 years!
No it wont dumbass lmao
No but They might kiss and made up lol haha.They were like Bro's though
Hop needs to tone down before that actually happens.I don't think he's on that "New Level" maturity like Dame said
jsnike91 jokerr called it awhile back,dame is a crumb snatcha
jsnike91 and we should believe you because
Hopsin is clearly better off now. Dude blew up.
This mans favourite line is 'Under the bus' get yo greedy ass outta here
This fool always brings up the funk volume fitness in every interview cant accept the fact that he's a bad manger now hop gonna do his own thing hop had done everything this fool never been in a studio mix. N mastered nothing he just went to college to go into business n profit off other peoples success
