However when Dame said he told Irv to stay out of his business once he found out that Irv put together the Jay's Got ur self/super ugly freestyle the thing is that wasn't Dame's business it was Jay's business that he had with Nas.

      @@Fashionhustler I disagree, now if Irv was trying to advise Jay on business moves or business discussions that Roc-A-fell should do then yes that would be Irv interfering in Dame's & Bigg's business.
      Yet Irv just strap together the Got ur self a gun beat & the super ugly beat for Jay.
      The popular opinion is that Nas won the battle between him & Jay, yet those sentiments of Jay losing the battle didn't lose any money for Roc-A-Fella.
      Dame is just upset about Irv making comments on Drink Champs about what he think cause the split between him, Jay & Biggs.

      @@user-bj2cv3ii9u incorrect.
      They were in the business of selling “music”. They literally make money selling music. The two are not separate. So, If Irv put the battery in jays back, to make a dis song (music), without Dames consent or knowledge, that’s literally interfering with Dames business.
      And, music is based on coolness and reputation. The moment an artist loses their cool factor, their music stops selling and they make no money.
      Example: vanilla ice and hammer both sold millions of records before the public perceived them as corny.
      Where are they now?
      Exactly.
      So, in the 1990’s era of gangster hiphop, taking a loss could’ve chipped away out the public perception of rocafella.
      Which, in a round about way, that loss was a part of its demise, and why Jay jumped ship and sabotaged the brand and threw Dame under the bus. Their visions were no longer in alignment. And both of them chasing Aaliyah didn’t help either.
      It’s all connected.

    I love Dash and I like listening every time to him speak and teach but I hate when the attention turns to JZ! Just because he STOP bn a yes man and rubber stamping every single thing you say and do because he was also learning and evolving in business doesn't mean he was all of a sudden against you! That's how you took it! Out of your own words you wanted to create differently and Dame you were doing a lot of risky shit in fashion which is expensive and cost a lot of money!! Own up to that! JZ had had his own fashion style by then he may have missed on a collared shirt but you missed on several brands bro! And it was all good though because you kept pushing & hustling! Hats off to you!!!
