Dame Dash: Jay-Z Is ALL About The Money 

Indeed I shall ...

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

Dam saying that like he ain’t

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.

Basically Jay wanted to integrate with Jews & Whites.

Lol you just know them personally huh??

​@Xseay that's what I'm thinking 😅

​@@Dinero81G So what moves was Dame making back in those days besides dancing in different rappers videos...🤔🧐🙄🥴🤣🤡

Having temper tantrums in Def Jam offices screaming on people. He was aggressive to say the least 😂

BINGO!!!!!!

It's because people just hate Jay so anyone opposing him they just side with lol

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.

@@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. 🤔

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

@@deonehull he doesn’t have nothing. He’s just not in the music industry anymore. The man is still rich

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.

How a man does the little things, is how he will do the big things.

Won't happen

Jay don’t Do Interviews

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

@@johntucker4056 Hov wanted reasonable doubt and Dame could've had the label and every other Jay album.

@@johntucker4056 “make another hov”

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. So Jay gave him an option, Dame just picked the wrong one. All this time I thought Jay just cutthroated him out of it.

@@darylmartin8436 dame went and did Rachel Roy and kept reasonable doubt

@@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.

Dame told on himself, he pretty much admitted Jay s is right

Jay was lucky to know him as well dame gave him that image he had kid n play swag rapping like Das efx first

Dame helped Jay get on his feet but then Jay didn't need Dame anymore so moved on

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.

Bingo

Tbf people won’t let him stop talking about Jay. It’s always the interviewers bringing him up.

@@Superb_virg exactly

@@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

@@Superb_virg yes it is. Dame can go thru a whole interview and 70% of the questions are about Jay.

He’s not hurt, the only reason it comes up is WHEN others ask him

​@@aaron3283 Exactly people come to Dame and asked him

@@donnelladams8362Exactly: moving on is key. People are cutthroat. It is what it is.

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.

Bingo, and he didn't wanna give Jay reasonable doubt in exchange for everything else.

@@hellobecky84 Who cares? Dame is rich & you're not. You probably have enough problems, don't worry about Dame lol.

@@TruthDissident lol such a bizarre comment. got that strong incel energy

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

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 💯

You sound like a groupie clown, why would he be jealous of the dude he created, he jay z silly ass the heart to do what he’s doing

@@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

@@jaminhodges3123 No Dame Dash No Jay-Z 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@babytony77 and vice-versa

@@babytony77 you're not wrong though

He was Blackballed from entertainment Industry

Just because it's not mainstream doesn't mean it's relevant. Dude still out here making power moves.

@@stacey3004 are you sure?

@@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.

Nah fam, jay backstabbed him PERIOD.

Dame Dash is GOOD

@@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?

@@jamilawilliams4827 Yea, even curren$y said Dame had shady business practises

Exactly, the people who are trying to dismiss Dame as "bitter" or "jealous" of Jay, are the same people who value money over loyalty as well.

​@@blaseblasebih5706Dame tried to take Beyonce when they were together. Says Memphis Bleek on camera

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

​@@blaseblasebih5706Dame was supposed to eat of Jay z's talent for life?

He created a Kanye

@JointCapital360 NO he did not, he basically ignored Kanye until Kanye started to blow up on his own...

@@jointcapital3608 and he never created Jay, Jay created Jay! That went right over your dome! 😅😂🤣

@@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.

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

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

@Bigdic Daddy Maybe Still Hurting... 🤔 Why Is Everything About Hate When It Comes To Black People Clearly He's Hurt

He wasn't involved with Jay after roca-fella why would he speak on it?

@@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🤷🏾‍♂️

Stfu! Yeah it speaks he’s tired of interviewers asking about that Goofy

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

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.

Honestly he’s become a broken record 🥱🥱

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

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.

Watch “Death of a Dynasty”

He sounds bitter, but still a lot to learn from him.

@@kame99023 Sounds trill to me, you wouldn’t have liked what happened, and yes plenty to learn

I can wait.

Yep, dame full of shit.

You shouldn't talk about something you don't know nothing about

@@nine38 🎯🎯

One of those is just a better way to be a person.

That's funny because I have seen plenty of interviews where he hasn't been asked about Jay-Z

@@chrisjackson4304 I’m sure you have …but 90 percent of his interviews he’s talking about jay lol

That's because 90 percent of interviews he's asked about Jay-Z. He doesn't need Jay-Z to be relevant.

He gets asked about jay. he has never brought up jay z when not asked. big difference.

@@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.

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?

Oh…I see it now 🤣 I’m about to watch

Why do you feel that he pretends?

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!

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.

@@vishkaperera1489 naw you can’t… you can’t sell trauma but also want it to stop

I hope all of it is true.

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

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

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

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.

It’s common nature of the music business…

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

You say this but he's still with Biggs, Chaka Pilgrim, Bleek, TyTy, Hip Hop,etc.Even Cam'ron is cool with Jay now.

U made him rite so make another hov.stop it and get over it and move on u still bitter

I aint never heard Jay-Z talk about things that he is accused of, but i guess it is true when they say "the winner gets to write the book"

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

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. 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
