Jay-Z - Growing apart from Dame Dash (10/2003) 

Two alpha males can't survive together in the same jungle. Eventually, each one has to conquer on his own.

That’s grown up status. People can grow apart and there still be love. No two people are alike and every man is an island

He evolved and was the best talent out of the group. He was better off going his way owning his master's, and creating tidal . He knew his worth and blew up .

I've watched hours of Dame interviews. I love his Wisdom. However, I dont know how anyone can be in a room with him for more than 2 minutes. His mouth is his gift and curse.

After a certain point - Dame didn’t bring anything to the table. He said it, they were focused on expanding the Roc. But Jay WAS The Roc and he became WAY bigger than the Roc. Dame didn’t make Jay, Jay’s talent made Jay. Yes Dame helped Jay get in position and Dame was compensated appropriately for that, BUT that doesn’t mean that Jay owes him or is obligated to split the money with Dame forever.

Very interesting dynamic.

“We’ve always been polar opposites.” Very telling....

True we all grow apart at some point in time we have to evolve and do things that suit us

Dame says to Don't ask me ask Jay and Jay says the same thing Don't ask me ask Dame. That's real. No chatty Patty between men.

Sometimes things just don’t work out, doesn’t mean there ain’t love ✊🏽

most people have too much ego to admit it but hes lifetimes ahead of most of us. He just gets it! gotta

Facts. It's not always a beef with partners split. Growing apart happens as people grow and want to take on new challenges.

Jay Z is smooth as fuck. Lol look how he answered the question

Never once have I heard Jay sh*t on Dame or anything he's done but when they ask Dash its a completely different response.

Definitely the smartest maneuver hova at a turning point in his career

The best growth I ever saw. Team Hova!

Thank you Jay Z for setting the record str8. Y’all cool but on different paths.

Damn this Nigga Jay knows how to answer questions so professionally 🤦🏽‍♂️

I respect Jay-z & Dame dash. I think that they are both great business men and a great inspiration for the black community.

Top much flossing. Too much Sam Rothstein.
