You should do docs like this for: • Cash Money • No Limit • Rap A Lot • Dipset

[@KingBeastBDE]

This needs way more likes

[@keitho2479]

Cash Money got A LOT of dirt from beginning to now. Being from south Louisiana I heard a lot of rumors or truths.

[@neheboi1012]

Cash money doc would be phenomenal

[@Hellismary]

we need that CASH MONEY DOC !

[@dbradandthem2727]

As a former producer for Rapcity tha Bassment (1999-2002), who was there during this era etc. I say GREAT JOB! Couldnt much to disagree with. A few points you missed but it was extra insider sh#t. Gr8 job.

[@cloutcancun]

That's dope! All this was done by research via the internet. Maybe one day when I get bigger I can actually interview people who were actually there

[@Tastaalex]

Damn thats awesome!

[@dbradandthem2727]

@@Tastaalex I watched from afar. I remember hanging with my homegirl that hosted Roc Radio on Power 105 when she played a Jay Z song that Dame hadn't cleared. She told him Lyor & Jay brought the song to the station. The look on Dames expression on his face... PRICELESS....he stepped out, made a call, came back lookin like somebody kicked his dog She & I both whispered... Damn... Its over.

You really did your thing on this. And the fact you wasn’t born during most of the Roc reign. It’s rumored Jay line at the end of Thank You on Blueprint 3, “Kiss the wife good night for me *laughing” was about Rachel Roy. Blueprint 3 was released in 2009, the same year Rachel filed for divorce from Dame.

[@unclenytz]

i really enjoyed this 4 part series . i brings back memories of information i knew already but also enlightened me about things i had no idea about or was having questions about . good job bro !

[@JDCollectible]

I love your documentary!!! I just watched all four parts in a row. There was so much history in here. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@willyPVR]

Man you did one hell of a job. I’m subbing cus of that hard work and I want to see what’s next. Good job bro 👏🏽

[@SixLowa]

Real good job on this whole series! I think the whole Roc story is 1 of the best to learn from in music history & you did your thing in all 4 parts. All 4 parts were broken down really well & I couldn't wait till the end which was my favorite but saddest part. I do believe, that long story short, Jay Z just out grew Dame & Biggs & he just wanted to do his own thing.

[@TeamWickedOpinion]

Tuning in from Florida. Salute on a job well done with this documentary, brother!

Great job 👍🏿 Can’t wait for your next videos

[@misterjones3651]

The breakup was definitely inevitable because dame was definitely beyond talking to because of his big personality....

[@gw593]

If you think that’s the reason then you haven’t done your research. Dame’s personality has nothing to do with it.

[@sebastienc.2257]

Did you not watch the video

[@davidjackson8756]

Maybe but hold Jay Z accountable too, stop speaking from your heart

[@DavidPerez-nq5jj]

Did you not watch the 1st 3 episodes? Jayz snaked him he started having meetings about Rocafella behind Dames back

[@christopherbrock8913]

Dame was on point about (everything) that he was saying - but they always make it seems as if you are crazy and tripping, to get you out of the way - and dude is still dropping knowledge right now, but nobody is paying attention

[@gjslaughter]

The Wire analysis was spot on this entire series about Roc-A-Fella was fire.

[@OWXMUSIC]

It's funny, the one everyone slept on was Kanye and he ended up being bigger than everyone, I don't think Kanye would have grown under the Roc though. Kanye wanted to be Jay Z and then he wanted to be bigger than Jay and that's what Ye did. Super dope documentary, thanks for the journey.

[@roncaesar7423]

And he would of did a deal wit fila instead. Imagine that alternative dimension

[@roncaesar7423]

Listen, it was ordained for ye to be with the roc, remember no one saw his vision but dame, and because of dames instinctive a&r skills we have the yeezyz and the kanye workout plan. If dre would of signed him it would be beef !!!

[@roncaesar7423]

And he would of signed a fila deal and come out with the "yevils "

[@Scorpion-dn8ju]

Definitely not bigger then Jay-Z were is he now?

[@drillkage1686]

I grew up in this era, and you gotta love it is soooo slept on, im glad you always bring it up. Also Sorry Ms Jackson - Jadakiss and Styles P (50cent diss) so many slept on dangerous diss tracks

Me too best Era

[@concept8407]

And you sound like a young me when you talk about your music tastes... GOOD SHIT bro!!! Continue to be u bro!

[@alexclarke4775]

Great doc. Really hope you do series on other labels/crews. Regarding your wide taste in music, you're not alone. I could go from lupe fiasco to Maria then follow up with the doors and Alex isley. Don't know if it was cultural mix I grew up in or most of my friends being older than me but my musical has been wide forever.

[@richot305]

Great doc series, specially since you were not arround when most of this happened. You really did your research and I comed you. Also, you provided some insight that I did not know about the break up. For years, I blamed JayZ for the breakup but now I completely understand his possition and why he had to do what he had to do. The Dynasty was great while it lasted.

[@jaron312]

Juelz was on the come up and then it went all down hill that I can't feel my face was classic

[@dwaynerousee4140]

Much respect 💯🥃👻 Dipset fan from New Jersey but now living in Georgia

[@illogic81]

You gotta classic series young man, keep it lit, Maybe a Nas doc from Illmatic to now winning his 1st Grammy with Kings Disease, that would be fire

[@moneynixbeatz]

Biggs is a lot of video just playing the background like usual, he is the one who pushed the young Gunz and was the one who first saw potential in Kanye west

[@xxxlifenomorepodcast.8528]

My young brother you did well on this real talk.

[@owene869]

One thing to mention, A Son Unique actually got a streaming release recently, I was able to listen to it last year. And checking Discogs, there had been a few rare CDs of the album being released in 2005 after ODB’s death.

[@angels2014]

I think one about G-Unit would be so dope.

[@turtleanton6539]

Yup

We're the same with musical taste, bro. There are over 4,800 songs on my phone with everything from rock to hip-hop, as early as the '50s up to now. Very eclectic. - [SF]

[@DoggCityFinest]

That first Juelz album!!!

[@roncaesar7423]

Chef representing bk,ny. The roc/dipset/g-unit made my childhood, even aftermath when game came out. The roc was truly a dynasty and regardless of the aftermath , no pun intended, they have left a legacy that will be remembered as long as music exist. "Cheers to the roc"🍻- kanye west

[@caponelaw1407]

From London and enjoyed your ROC documentary

[@devzeppelin]

A lot of people say “my music taste is diverse” but it typically narrows down to 2 - 3 genres that branch off of each other. It tells you a lot and you have great taste for sure.

[@stoneeecolddd2354]

Do like a chronicles of cash money records or something like that next that’ll be hard 🔥🔥

[@sivenathimnxeba1107]

U probably won’t see this but u the real MVP dawg, cuz this ain’t era of rap I was born in 2005 so I appreciate u putting us up on game

[@B1_FBA]

On the song “Lost Ones”. Jay Z says why he parted with Dame.

[@frankhadleyfdash810]

Why ? No he doesn't say why ? Did Jay fuck Dame wife ? Aliyah ? Their demise was over women I'm certain ~

Dj clue the professional went platinum as well.

Correction: I don't know why I said the Young Gunz released "Back to Business" in 2005 when they released it in 2010 I believe

[@owene869]

Yeah it was released in 2010 under the “Chris & Neef” name

[@peace_of_mind_00]

im from philly fam... great job..i watch all 4 But you gotta do a State property doc.. and The Lox That would be dope

[@mauricemcnair9223]

I'm not from Philly but that comment about him stealing Young Chris's style is a VERY valid argument. I'm a fan of Young Chris and Jay's style definitely sounded a lil familiar around the time Young Gunz was relevant. Hey Jay used to rhyme like a Fu Shnicken till Nas came out so why wouldn't this be believable?

[@Carolina_Fresh]

Just a little clarity. Jay-z came to a dame about selling his stake in rocawear and they gave him the 20-30m. The next week they announced Jays 200m dollar deal.

[@turtleanton6539]

I would been pissed

You forgot to mention Kanye and his GOOD Music label and the artist he brought into the light like Travis Scott, Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Teyana Taylor, John Legend, Pusha T

[@RushzillaRecords]

checin in from Egypt...great work

[@Carolina_Fresh]

Nice Wire analogy 🔥 🔥 I would add that if Jay would have tried to have that convo with Dame it would have played out much like String(Jay) and Avon(Dame) after string wanted to kill clay Davis. “ Not hard enough for this right here (independence) and not smart enough for them out there (industry)”

[@cloutcancun]

That's actually a nice way to look at it. If I do end up doing this wire/rap thing I'll take that into consideration!

[@SrealG]

Everybody blames Jay for the fall of the ROC..but they NEVER mention how Dame was FN off the $ that was supposed to be split between Dame, Biggs & Jay. The biggest records on the ROC were Jay Z records and as a part owner he should have been CAKING UP!!..He wasnt because Dame was spending CRAZY before the 3 way split. Dame would get his 3rd..Jay & Biggs their 3rd BUT...Dame had already dipped into their bottom line BEFORE the 3 way split (private jets..clothing budget, jewelry budget, cribs, cars..etc) BEFORE Jay or Biggs seen the invoices. Jay got tired of it...Biggs didnt give a F cause he was a silent partner and was still getting his $ in the streets. Jay was like F doing business with a man that is robbing me..Alpo felt the same way and the results were much different. YOU DON'T PLAY WITH ANOTHER MANS $...PERIOD.
