A point of view from a third power player

A little over a month ago, 50 Cent & Steve Stoute got in what looked like a heated dispute wile court-side at a New York Knicks game over some comments Stoute made to Angie Martinez on Hot 97. Stoute, owner of brand development and marketing firm Translation, and creator of the The Tanning Of America VH1 documentary, told Angie that he doesn’t believe that 50 Cent is one of the most important figures in hip-hop, claiming it’s been 7 years since Fif’s hit, among other reasons as to why, for all intents and purposes, the Queens native is nearing irrelevance.

50 responded, mainly in a series of jokes on both Instagram and in an interview with MTV News editor Rob Markman, but did take the time in an MTV interview to briefly detail his disdain with Stoute, dating back to the days leading up to his signing with Eminem in 2002.

Dame Dash, who’s had his own run-ins with the music industry from his days as Jay Z‘s business partner at Roc-A-Fella and his DD172 ventures that have included projects with Ski Beatz & Curren$y, briefly weighed in on the popular issue on his Instagram, providing his own personal insight on Steve Stoute, and his position in the music industry.
