The fact that people said Jay-z was too old to be a rapper over 30 years ago and he’s still today one of the most coveted lyricist to get on a record is mind blowing!
Dame was kind of a loose cannon at one point and Jay-Z got tired of it. Jay wanted to be taken seriously as a businessman but knew he couldn’t with Dame and his antics being in the fold and that’s basically what he told him.
The last 20 years has been nothing but sour grapes from Dame. Jay is quoted as saying that he would have walked away from the game if Dame/Biggs would have just let him have the masters to Reasonable Doubt. They said no, so Jay proceeded to accept the Def Jam President job with LA Reid (retaining all of his master recordings) and turned down Lyor Cohen's President job offer at Atlantic records. Post Roc break up, Dame was bragging how LA Reid was smart enough to keep him on staff by brokering the Dame Dash Music Group deal but without a flagship artist of Jay's caliber, Dame was now toothless and the label failed. In a nutshell, Dame underestimated Jay-Z's business acumen and it still eats at him.
Was it Jay's acumen or advise he was getting from cats who was looking to bury Dame anyway lol Like Lyor who told Jay he would by Rockafella just to give it to Jay lol. I hear you bro but its sad that we live in a world were good business and being a snake can be one in the same.
Lies 1. How could Dame/Biggs give Jay RD if Def Jam owned the 50% of Roc a Fela (wasn’t theirs to give) 2. He didn’t retain the masters because he became President, he negotiated them in exchange that he help Def Jam buy the rest of Roc a Fela under the premise (to Dame and Biggs) that he was retiring. RocWear as well 3. Jay didn’t go to Atlantic because he couldn’t be associated to Lyor who was being investigated for “torturous interference” of the artists he was handling, Jay taking a job there would have made it that much more obvious that he was. 4. LA was nice enough to do a distribution deal with Dame which unfortunately did not work out but that was because of multiple sabotage tactics that Jay used to make sure the label didnt grow any more legs. Your sentiment on Dame may be sound, but Dame always admitted he was hurt by what Jay did (so that’s stating the obvious). The rest of your information is just off
It funny how everyone asks Dame about Jay and he answers the question but NOBODY ask Jay about Dame bkuz Jay has nothing to complain about bkuz he did some shit the will get you killed in the streets
@@oramaponyane4616 Dame Dash not relinquishing the masters is canon and the genesis of the creation of Jay-Z the "business man". So everything that transpired afterwards is moot. Dame would be back on his feet if he took Jay's advice and "make another Hov". We all know that he hasn't so he buries it with tall tales of unscrupulous dealings.
@@MelAlstonJr Yes, Jay's business acumen. He was smart enough to turn down Lyor's offer so there goes your aiding and abetting theory. Secondly, LA Reid financed the Dame Dash Music Group venture, so there goes the grand conspiracy theory that Dame didn't have viable options. Thirdly, Dame would have us believe that his business acumen is extremely high which may be true but then how would you explain Jay-Z succeeding without him? Hmmm...I'm erring on the side that Dame overvalued himself and discounted Jay.
Dame is a legend no matter the opinion. The most impressive fact about Dame is that if you listen to him for long enough your thinking / thought process will change. He is an influential character throughout.
If he's so smart and all of this why he is not doing what Jay Z is doing why didn't he make another Jay Z why did he fall because when Rockefeller was sold it was split three ways evenly he walked away with 30 million dollars and now he has nothing
Why is he still talking about Jay-Z? What is he doing for his self. If I was Jay-Z I would have dropped his ass sooner. A gossiping man trying to stay relevant.
I never thought I’d see the day when grown ass men would stoop to female levels to support someone so obviously arrogant, rude, and wrong in every way as they do Dame. If this man was the icon that a segment Black men say he is, why haven’t we heard any Black entertainment moguls and execs support Dame on any level. They’re not even friends with him.
You would be bitter if you had a plan of us us us us us and jay z was thinking me me me dame done alotttttttt for hov! Hov even admits this I was 20 when dame was on top he really was the brains of rocafella
I have a really hard time taking Dame seriously he don’t ever show accountability. He spoke about Jay for 7 minutes and 15 seconds and as soon as the interviewer asked a question where he might have to say something favorable to Jay he all of a sudden don’t want to talk about Jay.
I actually appreciate Dame Dash I just think he gives Jay way too much of his energy. Jay Z never speaks on Dame, I’m guessing Jay Z doesn’t want to be defined with another man.
So Dame had a choice, give Jay his masters to Reasonable Doubt or lose Rocafella. I think Dame made the wrong decision. And it haunts him. With 20/20 hindsight he's mad mad.
@@bunchycarter8846 When Jay came back from vacation. He still has a right to want to end the partnership. What I'm understanding now is Jay told Dame he wanted to end the partnership. All these years, I thought Dame didn't know Jay wanted to part ways. Dame just made the wrong decision. He should of gave Jay the masters to Reasonable Doubt, and he would of walked away with all of Rocafella.
@@bunchycarter8846 I think Dame was mad that Jay wanted to end the partnership. And he made an emotional decision about giving him his masters. But you can't be mad if an artist wants to go his separate ways and do his own things.
@@darylmartin8436 Yeah l do wonder why Dame said no when Jay asked for reasonable doubt. Probably was an emotional decision saying no out of anger and l like Dame too geez. 🤔
Beans said Dame was mismanaging tour money. Bleek said he tried to warn Dame on the plane that people wasn’t messing with him. Dame had a lawsuit between him and Curren$y for trying to screw him out of bread. We got footage of Dame running around an office screaming at the top of his lungs about how Jay was “his” artist, when they were partners. Dame admits he made Cam the president of Roc a Fella, without having any prior meeting with Jay. There are countless stories about Dame not being a good person to work with. It’s weird we still blame Jay when it’s a ton of other evidence to suggest Dame was the problem.
Lol I like Dame. But if you notice, he didn't have a problem talking about Jay until the interviewer asked something that may require him to be positive. Then right after he goes into comparing Kanye to Jay which allowed him to be negative again. My man needs to get therapy for this. If he has already, it didn't work and he should try again to resolve the issue within himself.
Agree and caught that too. I really respect Dame's accomplishments and what he gave to the culture with Jay (and Biggs), but I always feel like he's carrying this bitterness and can't let go.
I fuck w/ Dame because he’s clearly real knowledgeable, but he is the only dude I know who says he don’t want to talk about Jay Z but stay doing interviews talking bout JayZ🤣
@@mpilwenhlecaluza7163 that’s not true the most interesting thing is the fact that he started Rocafella and made movies like paid in full. Jay z was a big part to why Rocafella was successful tho
So Jay told him, he wanted to split. And Dame got greedy and wanted to keep the masters to Reasonable Doubt. All these years, I thought Jay was cutthroat but he gave Dame a choice and he made the wrong decision.
@@bouche8503 I know he did. But what I'm saying is, Jay offered him Rocafella and all he wanted is his Master from reasonable doubt. That means, Dame could of kept the clothing line, and all the other businesses associated with Rocafella. Instead Dame took 22 million that he had to split with Bigs. So Jay gave him an option, Dame just picked the wrong one. All this time I thought Jay just cutthroated him out of it.
@@bouche8503 I'm not trying to say he's not successful. But you can hear the bitterness in his voice about Jay. If you and I are partners, then we break up, that's life. But if I feel like I got the short end of the deal, I'll probably feel a little bitter. I feel Dame picked the wrong deal.
He was down to talk about jay until the conversation switched to his tremendous success, then it turned to "I don't wanna talk about jay"......he way too jealous
@@willgee7777 so if he created jay z, why can't he create another one??? Or atleast create that kind of succes for himself. If me and you are successful together we part ways and you continue to climb and I'm stuck in the mud and the only time people wanna talk to me is to talk about you then maybe I wasn't the reason for the success.......the fact that you can't see that says you're the groupie
Tell us something we don't know. Dame's downfall is due to his ego and how terrible he treated people. Jay had a right to cut him off for that. You can't get ahead with a loose cannon like that on your team.
@@aaron3283 lol y’all biased cuz y’all only here dame listen dame did some foul stuff to jay but y’all don’t talk about that….Jim Jones and Beens also spoke on dame’s bad business practices to which they stepped away from him too….y’all weird cuz all same talks about is everything he did right and complains how everyone was wrong…how you a good business partner when you don’t take accountability, blame everything on everybody else, were the common denominator on ppl speaking on how you owed them money and so much more….I don’t get it 🤷🏾♀️
Dame told us the story and can’t see the fault in the stores he told. what’s wrong with Jay z asking for his own album back & wanting to be seen as a business man & separate himself?
Salute to the interviewer for that question, and we all know what question I’m talking abt. The main problem is that Dame needed Jay but Jay didn’t need Dame nor did he need Bigs.
In the beginning he needed Dame & Biggs but once jay-z got a name for himself the leverage changed. Dame got cocky and overvalued what he brought to the table. That's where he messed up. If he played his role he might still be in the Jayz buisiness and not doing this circuit of blogs talking about his glory days 20 years ago. In Dame's own words, he's become a "chatty patty"
Dame finally realized that he needs jay z to this day to stay relevant. Even after their split the only time Dame gets spoken about is if jay z is mentioned.
Dame still sounds hurt... its a big thing and I felt just the same at the time but time is a great healer if you allow your mind to rest on certain issues! Think about things in order to improve and move on, don't overthink anything. It'll drive us all nuts!
@@fusion454 yes. I follow his career. He is still working. The interviews are out there. He's still bitter bout that jay z shit..lol..but..i believe he is still relevant.
Yes he does, and its you, your his customer, talking about him and watching him. Your his client. You make him relevant. Your his business. Your been following him for 20 years. You know him, still watching him, and so your discussion is apart of his continued current success.
You sound like you know bout Dames businesses and all the numbers in his bank account. Independence is a hard road my guy but true happiness lies there.
Are they asking him about Jigga, or is he name-dropping him every interview? Dame isn't trying to get back to boardrooms where old white men govern the structures you function within. Where you have to be under manners and behave a certain way. He constantly asks why black men don't create their own by 'supporting their own.' Remember this guy gave Lee Daniels 2 million towards his production venture and the dude straight walked off with his paper. What more must this guy do to help the black community when all you see are naysayers throwing dirt on this guy's name when he built one of the biggest labels. Self-hate is something else, DAMN! Celebrate the dude. Thank the universe for making a Dame Dash
I thought the music business was a BUSINESS. If Jay kept that energy from day 1, what's the problem? It should've always been business and not personal. It sounds like the powers that be wanted to sever ties with Dame. Honestly, the music business could use more Dame Dash's to protect the artist.
Exactly talking about business do you realize what rocafella was it’s like the last independent black bank who doesn’t need backing decide to be like we joining the rest of the banks
@@thearrogantpupil1770 Exactly. Whenever jayz is asked about Dame in interviews he intentionally avoids slandering Dame, check the breakfast club interview or the old MTV interview he did with Sway shortly after their breakup back in 2003. He still thanked Dame during his Hall of Fame speech last year too I think it was. The only bad thing I've heard jay publicly say about Dame in interviews is that he felt that things weren't done the right way in business, and they had two completely different ways of going about things. Then I started to connect the dots. During the peak of Roc-a-fella, Dame was notoriously known for being reckless with the company money and spending it lavishly on stupid things that were not business related. Dame was also notoriously known for yelling and cursing at his own employees in the office, basically humiliating them in front of other people. But what's interesting is, nobody ever questions Dame's character, it's always just jayz.
Imagine that. You peeped the condescension in Dame preferring to address his actual business partner as "HIS artist"...imagine how Jay-Z felt. This guy was feeling himself until Jay figured out that Dame wasn't walking on water and decided to do it for DOLO.
Dame is a walking contradiction, Jay-Z is all about the money but you are not? Please🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you were the Master Mind behind Roc-A-Fella, which you had a lot to do with as far as its success but then again why did you not do it again maybe because you focused on blaming Jay-Z and burning all possible bridges at some point Dame needs to have some accountability.
But Dame did put money first. He set their friendship aside when he blindsided Jay while he was on vacation by making Cam President of Rocafella. Dude can’t talk about being undercut by Jay and not speak on his own wrongs. That one disrespectful move wasn’t the first. But it was the last that he would make with Jay. From that point on, Jay didn’t make another video with anyone, and he also went on tour on his own.
@Bigdic Daddy Now that you mentioned being grateful, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Dame say that he was grateful for anyone or any opportunities that he’s had… In his mind, that would be the equivalent of saying thank you or that someone else made his successes possible. This man’s ego is beyond huge. I doubt that anyone will do business with him. The only people keeping his name afloat is hip hop media.
@@Footballer85749 The Question was "What about Jay Character Made him successful?" ... Simple question, Dame ain't have to be involved to answer that. He got no problem speaking on his character when it's in a negative light tho🤷🏾♂️
Dame spends nearly 7 minutes trashing Jay on his own terms. But in the 7th minute when the interviewer asks what about Jay has made him so successful, this clown all of a sudden doesn’t want to talk about Jay!! Quite a few of his former artists are in Jay’s label. And I have not heard of one Black record or entertainment exec ever support or side with Dame. That tells a lot about who this man is and has been. Right now Dame Dash net worth is $100,000. What has he done for the past 10 years to not be as successful as he claims he can be, besides give unbearable and miserable interviews whining about Jay?
@@jointcapital3608 If anybody created Kanye then it will be Jay Z, because without him using Kanye’s beat’ he’d could have ended up like the other random Chicago producers.
Dame is lying about how he was already leaving Rocafella and not interested in music. After he left Rocafella he tried his hand at music a few times with other artists. Dame is right overall but he acts like he did nothing wrong which is not true. He don't take any accountability, he's way too stubborn to be able to work with
These celebs blow my mind with how they change their story or twist the narrative as the years go by knowing that their past interviews and ventures are archived. The people will always dig in those crates.
I think Dame resents what Jay Z has become. Dame would love to be as wealthy and live the lifestyle Jay is living now. He believes he deserves that A list billionaire life style like Jay. Make no mistake, there is definitely an element of jealousy. Dame was also allegedly spending company money on himself and making big decisions without consulting Jay Z. Since they stopped working together, Dame hasn't done anything of note
Exactly! Dame was a liability if you really think about it. The undertones whenever he speaks about Jay is steeped in pure jealousy and envy. What bothers me most about Dame is he takes absolutely zero blame in what transpired here. Jay knew staying connected to Dame was like having that chick with good pussy you enjoyed smashing, but you always knew she wasn't wifey material. When it was time to settle down and build, you had to let that shit go. Dame had good traits and attributes, but his bad traits outweighed the good. They all made millions together, so if Jay really needed Dame, instead of the other way around, Dame would have the financial success and more importantly the respect in business circles that Jay has. It's not just about the money, Dame is a straight arrogant asshole that NOBODY wants to do business with. That's on Dame.
This is a big fact. If Dame was doing well, he would decline these interviews. It's when people have nothing going on is when they decide to talk about they past. Notice you will never Jayz or Drake rarely doing interviews. And when they do, it's on their terms and they rarely talk bad about people they did buisiness with in the past.
@@ngpdreamteam2k4 Kanye is regarding by an idiotic weirdo clown by most sane people. I mean he was trying to proclaim Derek Chauvins innocence.He gets no respect. Kanye had more money than Jay Z at one point, but he never had the same level of respect. Dame regards Kanye as a child who has mental illness issues. Didn't you hear how he spoke about Kanye?
The Truth is Dame is just as corporate as Jay-z. He ain't this self-made boss that he claims to be. They tried to get signed in the beginning, funny how he looks down on people who tried to get signed now. He basically mad that he played himself into a corner and overvalued his leverage and what he brought to the table. It was necessary to have a brash mouthpiece in the beginning but circumstances change and you have to adapt as your circumstances do
Asking Dame about Jay doesn’t make him look bitter. Him choosing to respond with negative comments combined with the fact that he’s broke and Jay is a billionaire is what makes him look bitter. They’re not painting him as bitter, he IS bitter.
Yeah………… His responses when asked about Jay for the last 18 years have always followed the same pattern……….”I don’t want to talk about Jay, I just want to say this………”………..When you don’t want to talk about something you simply don’t. My understanding is that the reason why media people never ask Jay about Dame is because he always makes it clear to them before the interview that if Dame’s name is mentioned anytime during the interview he will abruptly end it. Media people don’t want to risk the embarrassment of Jay abruptly walking away so they don’t try him. Now when you REALLY don’t want to talk about something?? That’s how you do it.
@@lptinvestor1781No every interview they ask about Jay Z. There feud is still unresolved plus Jay Z is still add fuel by suing him randomly. Dame isn't broke either, compared to a Billionaire yeah but he's still a entrepreneur and millionaire. Had they not parted ways they'd be as big as Disney right now. He would have kept Kanye from doing partnering with Adidas and built it from the ground up. Dude was really something else
In order to “prove” your current capital on-hand you release bank statements and State & Federal tax returns. That’s how Forbes determines who makes the Forbes Wealthiest Rappers List. Dame never releases any “official” information and whenever asked about what he has his standard answer is “Stay out of another Man’s pockets”, plus he’s got Choke No Joke and several others saying that he owes them money that he hasn’t paid in over 10 years. That tells ME his a## is broke. Another favorite statement by him is “Every time I get money I’mma always put it in the streets” which tells me if he has any money?? It’s through illegal means. That’s why the fool ain’t filing no taxes. He’s dealing in powder and keeping all of his money in a stash spot. Dame may have money but it’s not LEGAL money.
@RioLo_TLE big as Disney ? that's far-fetched Now one black own label was able to stay together not: Bad boy Death row No limit Cash money Sooner or later the Antics that Dame was doing was going to stop Rockefeller
Dame been blaming media for years about him being asked about jay when we all know questions asked are discussed before the interview lol ….he knows talking about jay keeps him relevant or at least In his own mind
@@olijadu goof the fact everyone asks him about Jay and Rocafella proves that was the most significant thing he’s done in his career. When Jays interviewed no one’s interested in hearing about Dame or the Roc split because Jay has done and still doing significant shit outside of the Roc days.
The hustler got hustled. 🗣️🎶 Blocks keep clocking/Waiting for you to break, make your first mistake/Can't ignore it, that's the fastest way to get extorted/But my time is money, and 25, I can't afford it”🎶
Dame still don’t understand that jay was never his artist! He was his partner and that broke up rock fella! He acted as jay’s boss when in fact he was not
Dame is the victim in his story, always. No one EVER hears Jay’s side because Jay never talks bad about Dame or what happened in the past. Dame is bitter and resentful and I get secondhand embarrassment every time he discusses the past…move on Mr. Unbothered! “So you claim you made Hov, well, make another Hov.” - Jay
That's what I went thru at work...smh dame not wrong for feeling sharp about jayz. That's foul to have someone help u build such a beautiful brand just to make u do all the work..make deals behind ya back..scrape more money out the deal than u AND sell the company without your consent is INSANE...anybody would be on one ..ppl trip about paying somebody way thru school and get left...now imagine how dame felt? That's cut throat@@blaseblasebih5706
How could any label say Jay rhymes too fast! Leaders of the New School was out way before Jay Z (Busta Rhymes). There's was also Bone Thugs & Das Effects. 🤔 Great interview!
I thought this was great, insightful. It’s really easy to criticize with hindsight advantage, but nobody knows how they’d handle hard situations in life till they’ve actually done it.
Show me a man in America that worth a billion that hasn’t manipulated or backstabbed? I’ll wait in the meantime Dame has backstabbed plenty like currency, Jim Jones, Biggs Burke, The owner of the Mafietta story he tried to plagiarize and was sued and lost to the tune of 300k the writer and owner of Dear Frank movie who stole the movie called it the list and was sued and lost to the tune of 800k and there’s more but i digress and i leave you with people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Dame did a lot of stuff behind the scenes that messed up their relationship.Dame did a tremendous job.he made it happen because he was smart and fearless but he also fucked up
Of course Jay Z is all about the money, dude has multiple songs dedicated to the hundred dollar bill. Dame Dash used to be all about it too until he ran out of money. Now he's preaching about culture.
Jay-Z is the epitome of capitalism. I respect it, I just wish he wouldn’t pretend to the public that he gives a crap about social issues. But then again, that’s what corporations do... 🤔
He has used social issues to gain equity in several projects under the guise of ‘change’. The Brooklyn Nets and the NFL are the two most high profile examples of this. At the end of those deals the only person who ended up being empowered or enriched was Jay-Z himself. We call it the bait and switch!
Jayz want People to think that NFL deal is for social issues but I know the reason why he really did that deal is too get access to buy a NFL team. Jay really is all about the money. I'm glad travis scott didn't listen to him when he tried to get him not to do the super bowl. Jay is all about his self.
I wish he would do more to guide black ppl in owning your own, risen kids on having bigger dreams, from middle school age/up and not being raised to work for others! If I had him around as a child??? He stay dropping 💎
Jay z plays chess not checkers. Hustlers hussle they dont stay in the same spot. No one liked working with dame. His arrogance blocked many deals for jay z to level up. Jay Z did what he did to build his empire and he's still doing it. Dame's legacy should be more than "how Jay Z screwed me"......
They had a different outlook on how to do business, that's all... Dame was more communal and loud about it, Jay was more corporate and discrete. They grew apart, that's all. They are both great in their own ways and that's that.
These new podcast are starting out with MONEY! They’re putting money into their sets from the start now. They’re not waiting until 100k subs, they’re acting like they already have 100k subs. Respect for that.
Imma a fan of both these brothers and no matter what the got multiple platinum selling albums and made plenty of money people breakup in business everyday gotta move on
There are a lot of opinions on Dame regarding how he operates and how he transacts business. Either way, one cannot dispute his role in launching the careers of some of the most influential artists whilst generating revenue across multiple sectors such as music, fashion, retail and Tv & film. I hope he is able to be kind to himself and that one day he gets the recognition he deserves
And they forget how he put people in movies to exploit other talents that people didn't know that they had ...him filming..or having a hand in paid in fall State property etc etc.and also he had Kevin Hart in paper soldiers
Dame Dash's isn't "bitter" or "jealous". Dame is the type of person who values loyalty over money. We've all heard the saying "no good deed goes unpunished", what happened to Dame Dash was a shining example of that.
Is that why he went after Aaliyah knowing Jay z was dating her?? He even tried to make passes at Beyonce, but Beyonce cut him off and wasn't interested. IS that why he stole money from company accounts without teling Jay??? Is that why he made Cameron VP while Jay was on vacation??? Because he's such a loyal person??? GTFOH
Cam, kanye, Oschino from state property, Murda Mook...Styles p was in Honor Up and Loisadas...host of others worked with dame several times way after the roc Era..
@@cokewave2903 no Cam is friends with Dame and doesn’t do business with him because he’s a thief just ask Biggs, Jim Jones, Beanie Siegel, Muddy Waters Pictures, Mafietta. He a liar and a thief. Ye doesn’t do business with either he just gives him money because they’re friends and he feels sorry for the guy.
Why would you be so hung over on someone you didn't grow up with? Y'all met one another as grown men through a mutual friend. Things happen but still having that man you parted ways with 20 years ago still being the highlight of your existence is bananas. I'd leave the spotlight for good and never emerge lol
You don't understand business my friend. Dame keeping the story alive only makes the "Rocafella" documentary coming TBD even bigger. Why would he stay quiet about something people still obviously care about when he hasn't even attempted to monetize it yet?
He basically a motivational speaker that pushed those around him with his mouth and he didn't take the time to figure out what his own personal talent was so he can make money off of hisself and own talent
I think he's full of it, in the roc a fella era he was extremely money motivated was very vocal about it.... he's bitter, completely arrogant, hasn't had nearly the success w/out jay-z and can't stop talking crap about it jay-z proved to make a good business move ending partnership it catapulted his success and doesn't respond to what are probably a lot of lies on him. just don't see all the dame dash adulation. super jealous of jay-z. obvious.
If Dame was done with music then why did he create the Dame dash music group right after leaving 😂. These people think we old fans are zombies who forget everything. Dame tried to get his artists to stay with him.
Ok I see now Dame is mad at jayz ‘s success after the split up …he just said when rappers run other rappers it doesn’t work but jay has been successful at it for the past 15 years he ran a label def jam roc nation while still being a MC
Dame talking about he shopped Jay around to all the labels. Dame wasn't making the beats or writing the rhymes. He did what he was supposed to do. You don't get credit for what you supposed to do. You rode the gravy train and now it's over. Jay could of payed somebody $10 an hour to do that.
He said on the first breakfast club interview in 2015 that he was tired of answering questions about Jay🥺. Why does the topic keep coming up in just about every interview SINCE😳?? They were in business for 8-9 years together. They have been apart for damn near 20😒. The split obviously left a emotional scar that Dame can't seem to shake off. He claims he has no I'll will for Jay, yet he speaks on him with nothing but DISDAIN 😰
10 years later he is still talking about Jay Z - 20 years later he still talking about Jay Z - 30 years later he is still talking about Jay Z... stop it move on !!
What a sad, sad man - he has spent the last 15+ years bashing Jay-Z every chance he gets. What a waste of energy. If you were so instrumental in building Jay’s career, why don’t you just create another Hov? I don’t know why podcasters entertain this man. Mean spirited and low vibrational af. Jay’s star really shot into the stratosphere when he ditched the dead weight that is Dame Dash.
Jay had a sit down with dame man to man👍clearly dame would have ran jay down to the ground! Jay was only the artist !! Until he mad that massive power move!! Nobody died! Everybody got paid, some more then others👍it's a win for both parties

The fact that people said Jay-z was too old to be a rapper over 30 years ago and he’s still today one of the most coveted lyricist to get on a record is mind blowing!
He’s always talking about Jayz but for some reason I never heard J talk about him.
@@cjjames83 he doesn’t really do interviews anymore. And even when he did, they were very cupcake questions being asked

30 years ago he would’ve been 22. How is that too old to be a rapper? You got niggas that are 30 still on that drill shit.😂🤣
He was considered “OLD” when he released The Blueprint.
Dame was kind of a loose cannon at one point and Jay-Z got tired of it. Jay wanted to be taken seriously as a businessman but knew he couldn’t with Dame and his antics being in the fold and that’s basically what he told him.
Basically Jay wanted to integrate with Jews & Whites.
Lol you just know them personally huh??
@Xseay that's what I'm thinking 😅

2. He didn’t retain the masters because he became President, he negotiated them in exchange that he help Def Jam buy the rest of Roc a Fela under the premise (to Dame and Biggs) that he was retiring. RocWear as well
3. Jay didn’t go to Atlantic because he couldn’t be associated to Lyor who was being investigated for “torturous interference” of the artists he was handling, Jay taking a job there would have made it that much more obvious that he was.
4. LA was nice enough to do a distribution deal with Dame which unfortunately did not work out but that was because of multiple sabotage tactics that Jay used to make sure the label didnt grow any more legs.
Your sentiment on Dame may be sound, but Dame always admitted he was hurt by what Jay did (so that’s stating the obvious). The rest of your information is just off
It funny how everyone asks Dame about Jay and he answers the question but NOBODY ask Jay about Dame bkuz Jay has nothing to complain about bkuz he did some shit the will get you killed in the streets
@@oramaponyane4616 Dame Dash not relinquishing the masters is canon and the genesis of the creation of Jay-Z the "business man". So everything that transpired afterwards is moot. Dame would be back on his feet if he took Jay's advice and "make another Hov". We all know that he hasn't so he buries it with tall tales of unscrupulous dealings.
@@MelAlstonJr Yes, Jay's business acumen. He was smart enough to turn down Lyor's offer so there goes your aiding and abetting theory. Secondly, LA Reid financed the Dame Dash Music Group venture, so there goes the grand conspiracy theory that Dame didn't have viable options. Thirdly, Dame would have us believe that his business acumen is extremely high which may be true but then how would you explain Jay-Z succeeding without him? Hmmm...I'm erring on the side that Dame overvalued himself and discounted Jay.
Dame is a legend no matter the opinion. The most impressive fact about Dame is that if you listen to him for long enough your thinking / thought process will change. He is an influential character throughout.
If he's so smart and all of this why he is not doing what Jay Z is doing why didn't he make another Jay Z why did he fall because when Rockefeller was sold it was split three ways evenly he walked away with 30 million dollars and now he has nothing
Why is he still talking about Jay-Z? What is he doing for his self. If I was Jay-Z I would have dropped his ass sooner. A gossiping man trying to stay relevant.
I never thought I’d see the day when grown ass men would stoop to female levels to support someone so obviously arrogant, rude, and wrong in every way as they do Dame.
If this man was the icon that a segment Black men say he is, why haven’t we heard any Black entertainment moguls and execs support Dame on any level. They’re not even friends with him.
Dame is a good businessman. But he can’t admit jay z has surpassed him in the business world

I have a really hard time taking Dame seriously he don’t ever show accountability. He spoke about Jay for 7 minutes and 15 seconds and as soon as the interviewer asked a question where he might have to say something favorable to Jay he all of a sudden don’t want to talk about Jay.
That was hilarious
I actually appreciate Dame Dash I just think he gives Jay way too much of his energy. Jay Z never speaks on Dame, I’m guessing Jay Z doesn’t want to be defined with another man.
Because Jay was the snake that went against their agreement.
Fair point 💯
He’s still hung up on over 20 years ago. Crazy to see.
So Dame had a choice, give Jay his masters to Reasonable Doubt or lose Rocafella. I think Dame made the wrong decision. And it haunts him. With 20/20 hindsight he's mad mad.
No def not that simple lyor Denzel and jay went on a vacation jay came back and said I’m done that’s a fact
@@bunchycarter8846 no Jay wanted reasonable doubt in exchange for everything else but they refused. Bigg and Dame still own reasonable doubt too.

He should of gave Jay the masters to Reasonable Doubt, and he would of walked away with all of Rocafella.

If y'all think about it....Jay knew Kane, Big, Busta, Irv Gotti, Dj Clark Kent etc already. Jay was gonna get a deal no matter what!
Lol I like Dame. But if you notice, he didn't have a problem talking about Jay until the interviewer asked something that may require him to be positive. Then right after he goes into comparing Kanye to Jay which allowed him to be negative again. My man needs to get therapy for this. If he has already, it didn't work and he should try again to resolve the issue within himself.
Agree and caught that too. I really respect Dame's accomplishments and what he gave to the culture with Jay (and Biggs), but I always feel like he's carrying this bitterness and can't let go.

He invested in that album
@@bouche8503 I know he did. But what I'm saying is, Jay offered him Rocafella and all he wanted is his Master from reasonable doubt. That means, Dame could of kept the clothing line, and all the other businesses associated with Rocafella. Instead Dame took 22 million that he had to split with Bigs.

Salute to the interviewer for that question, and we all know what question I’m talking abt. The main problem is that Dame needed Jay but Jay didn’t need Dame nor did he need Bigs.
After awhile yes. But in the beginning they all needed each other. Jay wouldn’t be jay without dame or Biggs.
In the beginning he needed Dame & Biggs but once jay-z got a name for himself the leverage changed. Dame got cocky and overvalued what he brought to the table. That's where he messed up. If he played his role he might still be in the Jayz buisiness and not doing this circuit of blogs talking about his glory days 20 years ago. In Dame's own words, he's become a "chatty patty"
Yes he did. Nobody messed with jayz raps until he got with dame and switched his style.
That’s bullshit , do ya homework n wipe ya mouth
All jay did was get richer bosses iykyk
Dame finally realized that he needs jay z to this day to stay relevant. Even after their split the only time Dame gets spoken about is if jay z is mentioned.

Another groupie talking, this is about culture not money
@@kirkenicker3136 he been on this " hard road" for over a decade. Seems like he can't get back to where he once was
Are they asking him about Jigga, or is he name-dropping him every interview? Dame isn't trying to get back to boardrooms where old white men govern the structures you function within. Where you have to be under manners and behave a certain way. He constantly asks why black men don't create their own by 'supporting their own.'
Remember this guy gave Lee Daniels 2 million towards his production venture and the dude straight walked off with his paper. What more must this guy do to help the black community when all you see are naysayers throwing dirt on this guy's name when he built one of the biggest labels. Self-hate is something else, DAMN! Celebrate the dude. Thank the universe for making a Dame Dash
I thought the music business was a BUSINESS. If Jay kept that energy from day 1, what's the problem? It should've always been business and not personal. It sounds like the powers that be wanted to sever ties with Dame. Honestly, the music business could use more Dame Dash's to protect the artist.
Every time one come along, black people serve them to their master
Exactly talking about business do you realize what rocafella was it’s like the last independent black bank who doesn’t need backing decide to be like we joining the rest of the banks
Seeing by the comments, people only respect the results. Not the actual truth of what happened. Shoutout to dame 💯
I agree! How you actually got the result matters because it says a lot about your character.
So his Hov slander after all these years shows nothing about his character? 🤣🤣🤣
@@thearrogantpupil1770 these dudes weirdos.
@@thearrogantpupil1770 Exactly. Whenever jayz is asked about Dame in interviews he intentionally avoids slandering Dame, check the breakfast club interview or the old MTV interview he did with Sway shortly after their breakup back in 2003. He still thanked Dame during his Hall of Fame speech last year too I think it was. The only bad thing I've heard jay publicly say about Dame in interviews is that he felt that things weren't done the right way in business, and they had two completely different ways of going about things. Then I started to connect the dots. During the peak of Roc-a-fella, Dame was notoriously known for being reckless with the company money and spending it lavishly on stupid things that were not business related. Dame was also notoriously known for yelling and cursing at his own employees in the office, basically humiliating them in front of other people. But what's interesting is, nobody ever questions Dame's character, it's always just jayz.
@@tye1939 ppl have a seething hate for Jay
"Don't ever say you sign to me". Meanwhile I've seen a bunch of videos where he refers to Jay as his artist. 😂 Dame talks in circles.
Imagine that. You peeped the condescension in Dame preferring to address his actual business partner as "HIS artist"...imagine how Jay-Z felt. This guy was feeling himself until Jay figured out that Dame wasn't walking on water and decided to do it for DOLO.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ every new interview of him, just full of shit
Dame is a walking contradiction, Jay-Z is all about the money but you are not? Please🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you were the Master Mind behind Roc-A-Fella, which you had a lot to do with as far as its success but then again why did you not do it again maybe because you focused on blaming Jay-Z and burning all possible bridges at some point Dame needs to have some accountability.
Always contradicts himself
Exactly 💯
What you can learn from this guy’s mistakes is that he didn’t put money first and got blindsided by friendship lol cold game
But Dame did put money first. He set their friendship aside when he blindsided Jay while he was on vacation by making Cam President of Rocafella. Dude can’t talk about being undercut by Jay and not speak on his own wrongs. That one disrespectful move wasn’t the first. But it was the last that he would make with Jay. From that point on, Jay didn’t make another video with anyone, and he also went on tour on his own.
FACTS!!!!!
@Bigdic Daddy
Now that you mentioned being grateful, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Dame say that he was grateful for anyone or any opportunities that he’s had…
In his mind, that would be the equivalent of saying thank you or that someone else made his successes possible.
This man’s ego is beyond huge. I doubt that anyone will do business with him. The only people keeping his name afloat is hip hop media.
I never understood the executive dancing in the video. Dame want fame as well as fortune. Bruh a $50 million nd blew it!
According to Dame
“This n#%?! never helps”, was the real piece of this whole interview. And it makes since looking at how things are right now

Stfu! Yeah it speaks he’s tired of interviewers asking about that Goofy
Dame spends nearly 7 minutes trashing Jay on his own terms. But in the 7th minute when the interviewer asks what about Jay has made him so successful, this clown all of a sudden doesn’t want to talk about Jay!! Quite a few of his former artists are in Jay’s label. And I have not heard of one Black record or entertainment exec ever support or side with Dame. That tells a lot about who this man is and has been.
Right now Dame Dash net worth is $100,000. What has he done for the past 10 years to not be as successful as he claims he can be, besides give unbearable and miserable interviews whining about Jay?
Dame needs to go create another Jay...Period!
He created a Kanye
@JointCapital360 NO he did not, he basically ignored Kanye until Kanye started to blow up on his own...

@@jointcapital3608 If anybody created Kanye then it will be Jay Z, because without him using Kanye’s beat’ he’d could have ended up like the other random Chicago producers.
Dame is lying about how he was already leaving Rocafella and not interested in music. After he left Rocafella he tried his hand at music a few times with other artists. Dame is right overall but he acts like he did nothing wrong which is not true. He don't take any accountability, he's way too stubborn to be able to work with
These celebs blow my mind with how they change their story or twist the narrative as the years go by knowing that their past interviews and ventures are archived. The people will always dig in those crates.
I think Dame got played by J and I think his ego didn’t allow him to see J’s vision so J stole it from underneath him instead. That’s business.
I think Dame resents what Jay Z has become. Dame would love to be as wealthy and live the lifestyle Jay is living now. He believes he deserves that A list billionaire life style like Jay. Make no mistake, there is definitely an element of jealousy. Dame was also allegedly spending company money on himself and making big decisions without consulting Jay Z. Since they stopped working together, Dame hasn't done anything of note
Exactly! Dame was a liability if you really think about it. The undertones whenever he speaks about Jay is steeped in pure jealousy and envy. What bothers me most about Dame is he takes absolutely zero blame in what transpired here. Jay knew staying connected to Dame was like having that chick with good pussy you enjoyed smashing, but you always knew she wasn't wifey material. When it was time to settle down and build, you had to let that shit go. Dame had good traits and attributes, but his bad traits outweighed the good. They all made millions together, so if Jay really needed Dame, instead of the other way around, Dame would have the financial success and more importantly the respect in business circles that Jay has. It's not just about the money, Dame is a straight arrogant asshole that NOBODY wants to do business with. That's on Dame.
This is a big fact. If Dame was doing well, he would decline these interviews. It's when people have nothing going on is when they decide to talk about they past. Notice you will never Jayz or Drake rarely doing interviews. And when they do, it's on their terms and they rarely talk bad about people they did buisiness with in the past.
If that were the case then why isn’t he mad at kanye? That kind of negates your point
@@ngpdreamteam2k4 Kanye is regarding by an idiotic weirdo clown by most sane people. I mean he was trying to proclaim Derek Chauvins innocence.He gets no respect. Kanye had more money than Jay Z at one point, but he never had the same level of respect. Dame regards Kanye as a child who has mental illness issues. Didn't you hear how he spoke about Kanye?
The Truth is Dame is just as corporate as Jay-z. He ain't this self-made boss that he claims to be. They tried to get signed in the beginning, funny how he looks down on people who tried to get signed now. He basically mad that he played himself into a corner and overvalued his leverage and what he brought to the table. It was necessary to have a brash mouthpiece in the beginning but circumstances change and you have to adapt as your circumstances do
Asking Dame about Jay doesn’t make him look bitter. Him choosing to respond with negative comments combined with the fact that he’s broke and Jay is a billionaire is what makes him look bitter. They’re not painting him as bitter, he IS bitter.
Facts
Yeah…………
His responses when asked about Jay for the last 18 years have always followed the same pattern……….”I don’t want to talk about Jay, I just want to say this………”………..When you don’t want to talk about something you simply don’t. My understanding is that the reason why media people never ask Jay about Dame is because he always makes it clear to them before the interview that if Dame’s name is mentioned anytime during the interview he will abruptly end it. Media people don’t want to risk the embarrassment of Jay abruptly walking away so they don’t try him. Now when you REALLY don’t want to talk about something?? That’s how you do it.
@@lptinvestor1781No every interview they ask about Jay Z. There feud is still unresolved plus Jay Z is still add fuel by suing him randomly.

He would have kept Kanye from doing partnering with Adidas and built it from the ground up.
Dude was really something else
In order to “prove” your current capital on-hand you release bank statements and State & Federal tax returns. That’s how Forbes determines who makes the Forbes Wealthiest Rappers List.
Dame never releases any “official” information and whenever asked about what he has his standard answer is “Stay out of another Man’s pockets”, plus he’s got Choke No Joke and several others saying that he owes them money that he hasn’t paid in over 10 years. That tells ME his a## is broke.
Another favorite statement by him is “Every time I get money I’mma always put it in the streets” which tells me if he has any money?? It’s through illegal means. That’s why the fool ain’t filing no taxes. He’s dealing in powder and keeping all of his money in a stash spot.

You can be a capitalist and also want to help your community
He has used social issues to gain equity in several projects under the guise of ‘change’. The Brooklyn Nets and the NFL are the two most high profile examples of this. At the end of those deals the only person who ended up being empowered or enriched was Jay-Z himself. We call it the bait and switch!

Jay z plays chess not checkers. Hustlers hussle they dont stay in the same spot. No one liked working with dame. His arrogance blocked many deals for jay z to level up. Jay Z did what he did to build his empire and he's still doing it. Dame's legacy should be more than "how Jay Z screwed me"......
Wait what? “Rockafella would still exist if I was running it” then “I was done with it. I was already at Roccawear I was done with the music”
They had a different outlook on how to do business, that's all... Dame was more communal and loud about it, Jay was more corporate and discrete. They grew apart, that's all. They are both great in their own ways and that's that.
One of those is just a better way to be a person.
These new podcast are starting out with MONEY! They’re putting money into their sets from the start now. They’re not waiting until 100k subs, they’re acting like they already have 100k subs. Respect for that.
Jay is living in Dame’s head rent free!🧠💥
He’s been doing everything for the past 10 years, except sleeping well! 😴
Still talking about how he helped build another man.💔
Watch the whole video. Thats not all that he talks about. And he was asked.
Embarrassing isn’t it.
He doing an interview answering questions. Why not just appreciate his honesty ?
@@shaneweathers3319 who says it's honest?? It's just his side of the story
@@shaneweathers3319 he was not asked about jay directly, he brought jay up
Dame never moved on. His only relevance is talking about Jay Z, he’s never stopped.
Keep interviewing Dame! Always love his interviews!
It's always about the money, what are you talking about! Jay-Z just grew up!!
Imma a fan of both these brothers and no matter what the got multiple platinum selling albums and made plenty of money people breakup in business everyday gotta move on
Damn. He cleared up everything in 8min
There are a lot of opinions on Dame regarding how he operates and how he transacts business. Either way, one cannot dispute his role in launching the careers of some of the most influential artists whilst generating revenue across multiple sectors such as music, fashion, retail and Tv & film.
I hope he is able to be kind to himself and that one day he gets the recognition he deserves
And they forget how he put people in movies to exploit other talents that people didn't know that they had ...him filming..or having a hand in paid in fall State property etc etc.and also he had Kevin Hart in paper soldiers
@@novaisrael8028 He’s been recognized for his past accomplishments. He’s being criticized for his current behavior.
Dame has been called a thief by multiple artist and other business partners
Dame Dash's isn't "bitter" or "jealous". Dame is the type of person who values loyalty over money. We've all heard the saying "no good deed goes unpunished", what happened to Dame Dash was a shining example of that.
Is that why he went after Aaliyah knowing Jay z was dating her?? He even tried to make passes at Beyonce, but Beyonce cut him off and wasn't interested. IS that why he stole money from company accounts without teling Jay??? Is that why he made Cameron VP while Jay was on vacation??? Because he's such a loyal person??? GTFOH
Damon just sour grapes... Jay Z is in another level. Guy is feeling jealous. One needs to feel go if guys are doing well
Naw Dame exposing how fake Jay-Z is
@@nicosuave0824 word thats what i get
His kids have to tell him to move on bro. This is just plain sad at this point.
He's trying to expose. He has a life
Damon Dash has super Taurus energy…emotional and is not afraid to be vulnerable. Not always a bad thing. The suit and tie doesn’t control him
Starting to change my mind on Dame in 2024
No one works with Dame twice
Cam, kanye, Oschino from state property, Murda Mook...Styles p was in Honor Up and Loisadas...host of others worked with dame several times way after the roc Era..
This is telling.
Except YE
@@cokewave2903 no Cam is friends with Dame and doesn’t do business with him because he’s a thief just ask Biggs, Jim Jones, Beanie Siegel, Muddy Waters Pictures, Mafietta. He a liar and a thief. Ye doesn’t do business with either he just gives him money because they’re friends and he feels sorry for the guy.
Dame does business with Kanye & Cam
Jay-z fans hate hearing anything wrong about their idol. These comments are nuts. He’s absolutely human and he can do wrong people 😅
I am not jayz fan but dame is liar
Why would you be so hung over on someone you didn't grow up with? Y'all met one another as grown men through a mutual friend. Things happen but still having that man you parted ways with 20 years ago still being the highlight of your existence is bananas. I'd leave the spotlight for good and never emerge lol
You don't understand business my friend. Dame keeping the story alive only makes the "Rocafella" documentary coming TBD even bigger. Why would he stay quiet about something people still obviously care about when he hasn't even attempted to monetize it yet?
Dame always dropping gems 💎
He basically a motivational speaker that pushed those around him with his mouth and he didn't take the time to figure out what his own personal talent was so he can make money off of hisself and own talent
Damon says he doesn’t want to speak about Jay Z but what else can the interviewer ask him about? 😢
He slams Jay Z, but big up Ye. Well , same birds flock together I guess.
Dame is the dude. I gotta hear more. Where’s part 2 & 3 & 7?
Oh…I see it now 🤣 I’m about to watch
Truth. Real artist care about the art, community, people not just money.
20+ yrs later Dash talks about it Jay Z bee's about it BILLIONS
I think he's full of it, in the roc a fella era he was extremely money motivated was very vocal about it.... he's bitter, completely arrogant, hasn't had nearly the success w/out jay-z and can't stop talking crap about it jay-z proved to make a good business move ending partnership it catapulted his success and doesn't respond to what are probably a lot of lies on him. just don't see all the dame dash adulation. super jealous of jay-z. obvious.
Dame it's time to let that hurt go it's getting ridiculous now damn
Dudes always talk about their past when their best days are behind them.
If Dame was done with music then why did he create the Dame dash music group right after leaving 😂. These people think we old fans are zombies who forget everything. Dame tried to get his artists to stay with him.
Ok I see now Dame is mad at jayz ‘s success after the split up …he just said when rappers run other rappers it doesn’t work but jay has been successful at it for the past 15 years he ran a label def jam roc nation while still being a MC
This video should have more viewers it’s obvious the algorithm is been control great contact.
Dame talking about he shopped Jay around to all the labels. Dame wasn't making the beats or writing the rhymes. He did what he was supposed to do. You don't get credit for what you supposed to do. You rode the gravy train and now it's over. Jay could of payed somebody $10 an hour to do that.
Dame was lighting that blunt regardless 😂
Would Jay-Z Be Where He Is Today If Dame Dash Didn’t Say “No” To Giving Jay-Z the full masters to Reasonable Doubt
Will it rain on December 4?
Found out on the next episode of dragon Ball Z
That's the reason Jay Z is rich and Damon Dash is broke
He said on the first breakfast club interview in 2015 that he was tired of answering questions about Jay🥺. Why does the topic keep coming up in just about every interview SINCE😳?? They were in business for 8-9 years together. They have been apart for damn near 20😒. The split obviously left a emotional scar that Dame can't seem to shake off. He claims he has no I'll will for Jay, yet he speaks on him with nothing but DISDAIN 😰
10 years later he is still talking about Jay Z - 20 years later he still talking about Jay Z - 30 years later he is still talking about Jay Z... stop it move on !!
People keep on asking him in his defence
They ask he answer !
He was asked about Jay, he didn’t bring him up! I swear people only hear what they want to hear.
You sound like a JAY-Z ball waxer 😢
So you're not literate enough to hear them ask? Dame barely wants to talk about Jay Z. They keep asking him.
If you look at old photos of Jay with the Roc, body language tells the tale
What a sad, sad man - he has spent the last 15+ years bashing Jay-Z every chance he gets. What a waste of energy. If you were so instrumental in building Jay’s career, why don’t you just create another Hov? I don’t know why podcasters entertain this man. Mean spirited and low vibrational af. Jay’s star really shot into the stratosphere when he ditched the dead weight that is Dame Dash.
Remember when people used to think a rapper over 31 years old was corny? lol
Jay Z did say in his raps IM A BUSINESSMAN
The finesser got finessed.
This sounds so true knowing how Jay z conducts himself. I want there but man it seems true.
I hope all of it is true.
If Dame would have kept the ROC and Jay left with Reasonable Doubt, it still would have went down
Dame is also about the money, but not reponsible with it. And now he has become a Chatty Patty.
Jay had a sit down with dame man to man👍clearly dame would have ran jay down to the ground! Jay was only the artist !! Until he mad that massive power move!! Nobody died! Everybody got paid, some more then others👍it's a win for both parties
Dame always plays victim. There is a reason Jay-z, Biggs, Dipset and State Property aren’t doing business with him.
