Music Entrepreneur Club founder Dame Ritter came back on the pod to help me break down four music industry myths: artists need to own everything. Ownership! I can’t make money on streaming NFTs will save me I’ll make all my money on tour All of these takes need nuance, and there’s no better person to talk to than Dame. He ran Funk Volume, a former independent record label that hit $4M in sales in its first four years. On the episode we also talked about the comedians he manages, Bigg Jah and Minks, and the difference between artists and comics. If you’ve been hearing a lot about ownership, music business models, and want more context, this is the episode for you.

Dame Ritter Explains Why Hopsin Acts Like A P**** | 2014 | Funk Volume https://www.BeastHostBeard.com In 2014 while I was in attendance at the Team Backpack Mission Underground Event in Los Angeles, I attended a Q&A session with participants including then FUNK VOLUME CEO Damien "Dame" Ritter. The same Dame that a few years later would become a victim in one of Hop's dumb ass Social media sessions, causing the break up of a company Ritter worked hard to build. I asked him How as the CEO of a label he handled the PR issues and backlash that occurs when the figure head of his label was on social media acting like a "p****". Instead of arguing whether he was a p**** or not(He is by the way), Dame explained that Hopsin was over emotional and had no friends, and as a result didnt know any better than to turn to the internet, but that in todays hip hop, the short attention spans of fans made the damage negligible. This was well after my now infamous fist fight with Hopsin, but that's another memory. JUST IN CASE YOU THOUGHT I WAS NEW TO THIS. JUST IN CASE YOU THOUGHT I ONLY QUESTIONED THINGS BEHIND A COMPUTER SCREEN. 2014,funk volume,dame ritter,dame hopsin,funk volume podcast,funk volume 2014,funk volume vs horseshoe gang,funk volume 2020,hopsin and dame,hopsin dame diss,hopsin dame ritter beef,funk volume beef,dame funk volume,hopsin funk volume,funk volume podcast part 1,funk volume podcast part 4,funk volume podcast part 3,funk volume podcast part 2,Dame Ritter Explains Why Hopsin Acts Like A P**** | 2014 | Funk Volume,hopsin ill mind of hopsin 5,hopsin kumbaya --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Hopsin's beef with Dame Ritter lead to targeted harassment, especially following Illmind of Hopsin 8's release. Somehow, even this podcast became a target. Now and Hopsin and Dame sat down to explain the Funk Volume split, it's time to speak on the facts and get a little petty.

The music business is not for everybody, says Dame Ritter. He explains what he means in this episode. Pain 1 talks producers asking too many questions and releasing too few beats. Will they argue or agree with each other's opinions? 

Dame Ritter, Founder and CEO of the Music Entrepreneur Club, came on the podcast to talk about the latest with Kanye West and his infamous Sunday Services.

The microscope has been on Funk Volume since rumors of their break up soon became a reality. We spoke with Hopsin & Dizzy Wright on the situation, however FV's co-founder Dame Ritter has been the center of this controversy so it's only right we get his side of the story. For the first time Dame candidly gives his perspective as to what went wrong, reacting to Hopsin's "Ill Mind of Hopsin 8", what happens to Funk Volume now(including all that merch), his status with each member and plans for the future.

After being caught between a pretty public dispute ultimately dissolving independent label Funk Volume, Dizzy Wright elaborates on his early days leading up to FV, playing middle man between former owners Hopsin & Dame Ritter and why the situation wasn't fixed. Either way things are Still Movin for the Las Vegas emcee as he drops his latest project 'The 702 EP'.

Hopsin sheds light on growing up in Panorama City, early days of rap and what he learned from his experience with Ruthless Records. The independent success opens up on the rise and fall of Funk Volume, the process of 'ILL Mind of Hopsin 8', and his reaction to Dame Ritter's response; also he explains current status with former label mates Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton & SwizZz as well as what to expect from his new label Undercover Prodigy.
