- earbitscom 15y agoForgot Ashton. And Eminem is Sequoia.
- phil 15y agoWouldn't Sequoia be more like Roc-A-Fella or Def Jam or something?
- rdl 15y agoSequoia is EMI or Universal. Been in the game since the beginning, play in multiple genres (they invested in a bunch of restaurants, life sciences, etc., not just rap). Their hip-hop/tech business is Def Jam. Paypal is the Wu Tang Clan. Awesome as a team, split off to do awesome solo projects too, but still linked up through the 36 chambers and able to form like voltron.
- rdl 15y agoJerry Yang should not be mentioned in the same line as the god (Nas). Nas is like Mark Cuban. Hot back in the day; picked some fights with chumps, called them out, continued to be on fire. Jerry Yang is like Vanilla Ice or maybe Milli Vanilli. Did it big in a new way, everyone loved him, then clearly slipped and was exposed; not a one-time thing, but perpetual like the Oyster rollie. What I wonder: who is the Suge Knight of the VC world? Steve Ballmer? The Skype guys?
