I dont think anyone knew that things would end so suddenly. It’s like if you don’t play basketball and I kill you in basketball, I’m not going to celebrate that.” “I don’t wish any harm or anything over Hop,” Ritter continued. UPDATE- POST BY DAME, CEOAs most people know Funk Volume has come to an abrupt end.
I’m not a rapper, so that doesn’t mean anything to me. While bind mounts are dependent on the directory structure and OS of the host machine, volumes are completely managed by Docker. When those issues couldn't be resolved, Ritter figured that a break up was coming. Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated by and used by Docker containers. Hop revealed he had problems with Funk Volume's deal with Warner Bros, with Ritter's brother SwizZz's role in FV and with Ritter managing other artists. Once Ritter questioned Hop's work ethic, everything started going downhill. According to Ritter, Hop works about 20 percent as hard as the most successful artists. Instead he meant that he didn't spend enough time on promos, press and meet and greets. By "lazy" he didn't mean Hopsin wasn't putting his all into his music. But then he made comments about Hop being lazy. Ritter did a Spreecast in response last night, and detailed the problems that lead to Hop leaving Funk Volume in January.Īccording to Ritter, everything was going well between him and Hop until last year.
Anyways I know I said I wouldn't speak on this again but I'm ready to move forward from this in a positive way.Hopsin just went in on Funk Volume CEO and his ex-business partner Damien Ritter in the blistering diss track 'ILL Mind of Hopsin 8'. There's just so much negativity on the Internet, you know how it is, it's hard to know what's real and what's not. I also want to say, to the people who can only support the music and watch the videos and weren't able to catch a show, I apologize for my statement. I know I pissed some people off but all I can do is be honest. And I also don't see how this is anything like NWA because Hop would be Eazy E simply because he owns the label but y'all making it seem like he left like Ice Cube.
Y'all don't understand that it was a team effort to build this label. To start the label Hopsin went on LegalZoom, set up the business, and got the papers in the mail. But essentially y'all are telling a man its ok to walk away from his OWN label instead of keeping the one he started. History Formation and success (2009-2015) Following an ill-fated record deal with Ruthless Records rapper Hopsin founded the independent record label Funk Volume, while Dame Ritter acted as business manager over all the artists and the label. And I say that because a lot of you don't care about Funk Volume, only Hopsin, and I guess I understand that. Although I know I wasn't talking to all the fans I'm just going to clarify it and let y'all know I'm putting the blame on anyone who called themself a fan and turned around and dissed "The Funk Volume Movement". I'm gonna say this because I see #BlameTheFans is pissing some of you off. Here's the second part this is the response he gave to the criticism he got for blaming the fans His time to help you get back your life? Ha ha ha! Right!" You think if you were just some dude he’d sacrifice You think Dame would've given you a fucking cent if you were half as nice? The label was created after Hopsin leaving Ruthless Records, Hopsin co-created the record label with Damien Dame Ritter, who would be on the business manager. "When everybody else left, me and SwizZz would still kick it"ĭuh Marcus, what the fuck you think? You’re their meal ticket! After his dispute with Ruthless Records for the release of his debut album, he decided to establish his independent record label, Funk Volume with Damien. Remember when you tossed your deal with Ruthless out the window?Īnd all your little homies disappeared when you went broke? Remember when you couldn’t pay your rent and I came and gave you it? He just wants to use you to get fans he wishes he had!Īnd what? I’m using you too? Pfft, that’s some crazy shit! We’re Funk Volume! We don’t need him, fuck Jokerr, he mad! "And you only apologize when I turn the heat onĪnd Dame’s like, “He’s gone, let by-gones be peons!

Your meal ticket part specifically made me think of these bars: That's the sound you'll be discovering in the first volume of the Edo Funk Explosion series which focusses on the genre’s greatest originators Osayomore Joseph, Akaba Man, and Sir Victor Uwaifo: Osayomore Joseph was one of the first musicians to bring the sound of the flute into the horn-dominated world of highlife, and his skills as a. The dude is pretty gimmicky overall as a rapper but The Jokerr absolutely nailed them on this shit almost 5 years ago with this song: The Jokerr - Permenant Enemy
