[@gld8rone309]

They say Dame was using company money to start other ventures without his partners. That’s a big problem. They say Dame was using the Company account like it was his personal. If you listen to the end of the black album on the last track, Jay Z called out Dame and said “Dame, remember when you was keeping all the books, you had that fucked up ass handwriting and shit, your accounting was crazy wrong, but we figured it out”. Jay just sat back and played chess, he was always paying attention, just not acting like he was.

[@ebn128]

Quoted wrong Hov didn’t say this bruh. His exact words at the end of “My 1st Song” are as follows Dame, whattup! Robbing the bank Niggas thought we was crazy, man, remember uhh You had that fucked up ass handwriting You was writing all the numbers that we was spending down For the videos we was doing ourselves (Ski, whattup? Original Flavor in the house) Your accounting was crazy wrong and shit But we still put it together This is him rifting and reminiscing on the song’s outro which makes sense since the Black Album was supposed to be his retirement from rap.

I mean how did he not do some shady shit. Are y’all that blind? Dame and Biggs backed Jay when no one else would. They put up the money and started the label. There’s no Jay without dame and there’s no dame without Jay. Jay wasn’t shady for branching out on his own. Jay was shady for going behind his brothers back and not letting him know the deal. Meanwhile dame is going in board rooms and yelling at people because he thinks they’re having meetings for his artist behind his back. Dame really looked like a fool while jay knew what was going on the whole time. That’s what’s foul. You don’t let your homie make an ass of himself like that. This all could have been prevented if jay was straight up.

wow, your amazing. you are definitely made for this, all your shows are informative and unbiased. plus hella funny. the cream rises to the top. at the start i noticed he was referring to jay as his artist, i was like, that’s disrespectful. he probably heard about the amazing talent and tried to befriend jay into partnering, because he probably knew jay was headed to the top. along with disrespecting all the people of the by talking shit about they nothing cause they ain’t a boss. it not the money that makes you like that, it’s what you been. lots of people have money, and they don’t think bad or look down on anyone. because they don’t judge by money, they judge by if your a good person or not. money don’t make you shit, and without out jay-z i’m sure he would have never been as successful as he was. that makes me realize that Jay-z making ways to benefit artist and helping the industry is for real, he’s not just a rapper, he was a smart man that analyze the business and then made his moves after testing the waters and got with people that were in line with his desires and made it happen. some people were holding him back, he had to do what’s best for him. it’s sad, because at the end of the day, he seems like someone that would have been happy to keep them all paid and successful, but some people weren’t humble, kind, appreciative, and definitely didn’t deserve to be holding hands with him on the way to the top.

The impersonation at the end was worth it!!

[@seilove7044]

Dame is his own worse enemy he treated so many people like shit! He thought he could act like he was better then other people especially people that wasn't as successful. I believe Jay Z got tired of how Dame was representing him and how he treated people reflected Jay I think Jay realized that Dame wasn't as business smart as him and he could go way further on his own then his self.

This video was actually Damn near perfect!!! I've posted & said this numerous times, Dame Dash is 50/50. 50% of what he says is Powerful & Motivational the other 50% is Garbage!!! All the people giving this a thumbs down are the people who don't believe fire is hot or water is wet. Figure out how to see or get your hands on "International Grizzly". It's a documentary that Dame had Choke No Joke shoot & direct (which Choke NEVER got paid for, which is why he's been dissing Dame for over 10 year's now). The DVD is basically 2 part's the 1st 80% is Dame & Biggs blowing tons of Roc - A-Fella $$$ all over Europe with a bunch of flunkies they took with them. Dame claims they are in Europe to expand the Roc-A-Fella & Rocawear brand. You can tell Jay is about to leave because they get a call about Jay recording Me & My Girlfriend with Beyonce they knew nothing about. Later after the break up Dame refuses to mention Rocawear at all & is wearing his "CEO" clothing line. Jay made the right BU$INE$$ move & even Biggs has NO problem with Jay & done business with him since he came home!!!!

Bosses can get bossy, but if you are constantly disrespectful, no one will follow you even if you can lead.

Why I am just finding your channel? This both entertaining and educational. Dropping real hip hop history with business education. Thanks

He wasn't finessed by Jay Z Dame allowed his feelings to get in the way of a sound business decision

Made me laugh at 12:30 when you see him getting prepared for a haircut.. Quality. WTF

Damn was his own worst enemy I don't blame Jay

[@theoneandonlykyle9800]

His arrogance is unbelievable

[@jzw55]

I wish they’d just squash the beef. They just grew apart. I see both sides of it equally. I see how Dame feels betrayed but I also see how Jay Z was growing up seeing the big picture. Can’t be mad at either of them

[@kheperasekmet5197]

Jay has business acumen Dame has a different vibe

[@14troy19]

Regardless of his actions, both Dame and Biggs will and should always have a bad taste in their mouths about the way in which jay went about dissolving the label without saying anything. Not excusing dames faults or saying jay is a snake but seeing that everyone says that they were friends I can understand how everyone could take this whole thing personally as well as having things change so much financially. While we celebrate Jay leaving with complete ownership, they left with only one master of the whole catalog

[@nymost]

My thing is that nobody talks about is Dame was stealing company money out of Rocafella to fund his own personal projects that had nothing to do with Jay and Jay got wind of it through one of the reps at Rocafella, that's how all this started, so I dont see how Jay is wrong in any way period, but not only that, how could Jay be wrong for just wanting to leave somebody if he felt he was out growing a guy, dont he have that right to say I dont want to stay in this environment? So with the fact that Dame was stealing and yelling at everybody he came into contact with, because he felt he was the smartest and everybody was beneath him, that's how Dame thinks...

[@14troy19]

CD Williams you literally just agreed with me. They kept the masters because they are real hustlers who couldn’t walk away empty handed. But they were NOT happy with jay leaving the way he did. Don’t play yourself fam

[@KingKratos79]

Naw Dame was ALL THE WAY WRONG. You cant be out here spending reckless. Try that with WHITE corporate money. Yo ass getting fired
