^off course, but Jimmy definitely has blood on his hands
Thanks. Yeah, there's some basic 1-2-3 math that people are trying to work with that doesnn't work in real life situations. I think most people are used to either movies or news stories that center on just a handful of principal figures and they assume that's how life is. They think Interscope is just Jimmy Iovine sitting in a room and telling Dre "do this" or "don't do that" whenever it's time for Aftermath to put something out. Thing is with every guy in the spotlight, there's about thirty or forty people he's got running around making sure the ship stays afloat. Now when Vibe or Entertainment Tonight does an article or news piece, they aren't going to individually name off each person and explain their role. It just doesn't happen like that. Hell, how many people knew who the fuck Bruce Williams was before he wrote that book? For the most part, there is just some basic ignorance going on with most people here. Jimmy Iovine is a powerful music executive so he must literally have control of everything fucking thing he touches. He could have made Bishop Lamont as big a star as Eminem but he didn't "push" him. He spends millions of dollars on acts that end up getting dropped but that's just because he chooses not to hit the "green light" and make them into superstars or because his secret society of gnomes from the planet Jupiter don't like the content and demand they be dropped.
yes, they're so smart they think white people were created 6000 years ago by a black scientist and we're devils. you're right, they're so much smarter than me they believe the moon was blown apart from the earth over 66 triliion years ago by a black scientist who crawled into the earth. blah blah blah5 percenters are no different than scieontologist. they backwards preach who recommend to do one thing but never question the orator.and, i'm positive there's been at least one kkk member that's been black even if it was a mistake. i'll admit it was the best example but it still serves the point. just because 5 percenters have several white people in their groups does not mean their message is not at it's core racists.

Sorry but you still don't get it . it is true fact the most evils of this world are created ore cause by white man. they stole america from my people & they did it to every other country . so they are smarter then you because you are blind . ..no there has never ever been a black man in the KKK ever.it is not racist at all . they just have there eyes open unlike you.
While I agree to some extent with most of what you are saying, let's not forget that Jimmy Iovine is in fact a "powerful music executive" who has a huge sway in what gets supported by Interscope. If Jimmy doesn't have faith in something, its not going to come out. Being the head honcho counts for something.
