CBJ started a podcast completely on his own, with his
own money and friendships, used his connects to secure
hosts, etc

Ebro applied for a listed job at a multinational corporation,
was employed in a position that has been around forever

That doesn't make Ebro a BAD PERSON...apparently he's dope
at his job and GREAT FOR HIM...I sincerely mean that, and I'm
sure both Dame and CBJ feel the same

GOOD if Ebro is bringing more flavor to Hot97, a black perspective
and voice...I'm with that

But it is *different* than CBJ

Ebro has to answer directly to a board; he's not partners
with a board and shareholders. He is directly employed by
them. They aren't simply kicking in doe for a collaboration.
He is literally employed.

CBJ legitimately took a leap of faith with the show, on his
own dime, with his own time, and it worked

Of course CBJ is going to strategically partner up with people
with money, but not at the sake of his independence...even
Dame has partnered with big companies before....you're smart
enough to know what Dame is saying...its not a totalitarian
"don't work with anyone" stance, he's smarter than that and so
are you
