Recently Funkmaster Flex rehashed the debate whether music industry executive Lyor Cohen\u2019s dealings with Damon Dash and Jay-Z were exploitive or were the reason they became successful. During the response Flex unfairly brought up the artist Mic Geronimo. Basically saying to the effect that Jay-Z\u2019s career trajectory would have mirrored Mic Geronimo\u2019s if it had not been for Lyor Cohen. Jay-Z would be considered a well-respected lyricist with just an underground following.<\/p>\n
The reality is that Mic Geronimo had integrity and was not going to be treated as a pawn by those around him with inflated egos. Thinking they can call the shots and dictate Mic Geronimo. If you take a deep dive into his work you will see he has had an amazing career working amongst some of the greats despite the politics dealt with.<\/p>\n
