@newyorka72 ай бұрын
Bro where you talking about? Jay wanted the masters to reasonable doubt which was more valuable than rocafella. Jay tried to finesse dame and Biggs by doing secret meetings with lyhor cohen and becoming the ceo of def jam who already owned 50% of rocafella which technically would’ve allowed jay to have majority ownership of both def jam and rocafella but dame and Biggs were smart enough not to relinquish their masters of reasonable doubt or ownership of rocafella as its private property that can be leveraged. The US Magistrate Robert W. Lehrburger ruled that Dames one-third ownership of Roc-A-Fella can, in fact, be sold since it is his personal property. Idk how holding on to one of the masters of one of the most legendary albums in hip hop culture is a mistake.

Dame didn’t consult Jay because Jay didn’t do office work. Also why Dame spending money is getting to his head but Jay spending money is normal? The company wasn’t losing money so if they wanted to spend, let them. Dame made the smart play not giving Jay his masters, it was his only leverage and Jay could break his word after the deal is made or destroy the company from the inside out like he ended up doing.

If you have business partners which is exactly what Dame and Jay were, then you’re supposed to consult with your business partner on all big decisions. Saying Jay didn’t do office work, doesn’t matter, jay should still be informed on everything that’s going on upfront by his partner and he wasn’t, because Dame thought he was the ultimate boss. Dame seemed to forget that he “shares” a business together with jay. Secondly, Dame was recklessly spending the company money confirmed by multiple people. Jay on the other hand was actually very conservative with money. One of the reasons Dame called him a Jew one time lol.

@xevi this is pretty accurate except you did biggs pretty dirty. And missed a couple things.

And a few others. With jay-z supposedly retiring after black album, I believe biggs was just collateral damage to rid himself of all the problems dame was causing with the label. He got rid of a committee and made himself ceo, Gained his masters, and got paid handsomely in exchange for parting ways with the clothing line.
