Posted by Bossip Staff
Damon Dash releases a lot of game in this interview. Dame says the owner of Def Jam masterminded the demise of The Roc. He also talks Jim Jones, Jay-Z, Cam, Beans, and everything else…besides the divorce with Rachel Roy that is still up in the air.
Pop it and watch this
Speaking of Rachel Roy, she and Dame sure are taking their time with the divorce proceedings. Wonder if Dame is finding a way to maybe collect a check from her? SMH

Awww I remember how irritating he was on cribs. Talking about ‘I only wear my shoes once then I throw them away blah blah blah’. He better start routing through those old bins. The silly clown.

Listen…Jay made the entire Blueprint 3 CD for these haters.
That was all he had to do.
Cuz he dont give a fidduck about the *ish that you probably did/who you probably is. They still making money/cuz they still on that.
He doesnt even have to entertain Dame. Just pop in the CD Mr. Dash and put it on number 12. Please repeat this.

Funny how things change to humble a man, huh? Dame was loud and cr***** and irritating, now he’s all meek and ish!
But now that he’s been brought down a peg or 2, I do hope he is able to come back and prosper w/ the right attitude…. no sense kicking him while he’s down.

He’s right about Jimmy. The people around him are just along for the ride and dont have his best interest at heart. But Jim is loyal to a fault. I’m southern and bought Jimmy’s album. That says alot cause people laugh at me when they see the cd! But Dame should really move on and focus on his marriage, kids and career. j is an artist therefore the spotlight is his lob. Dame was the business man that didnt handle his business!

Pulling up old video of Dame to counterbalance my new thoughts of him. This Dame is making me feel empathetic. I need to see the Dame jumping out of the Black Van, dissin ppl in the office and running aroung NYC like he was invincible, to have a Fair comparison. What a difference A DOLLA makes-

Say what you want about Dame but he is rockafella. Luv it or hate it, that whole label was designed with his vision. Flashy, Fly, Ballin etc. I was never his biggest fan but jay is outta line on so many levels. The way he carried and continues to carry shi.. would get him killed in the hood. (Thank god for bodyguards,,,, that may be f’in your wife, lol) It’s funny how there whole business was built on some mafia gangsta shi… and now look at this white collar bs beef. He’s right, and jay need to stop speakin his name.Can you say “Out of line”?
Damn Shame

How could you ever believe that Jimmy is loyal? Do you not know the story of him and Cam?

@Reazon
I remeber that show, Dame claimed that he only wears his t-shirts once, he opens up a brand new t-shirt every time he puts one on, and I thought to myself how f**king stupid! Is this dude bipolar or something, I mean putting on a new shirt every day is just palin ignorant..But that just shows you how idiots take money for granted when they have it to blow, when he fell on financial hardships I thought about that and laughed to myself..You got people struggling to survive day to day and this fool is throwing new stuff in the trash after wearing it one time, are you kidding me? I bet his a$$ ain’t throwing anything away now!
Damn Shame

That’s the whole point, Jay is so far above all that hood sh** now.

I have no problem with this story but please stop showing Aaliyah in the pics. Don’t put her in a negative light.

Jay-Z look like the devil staring over Aaliyah’s shoulder. That poor girl didn’t realize what she was getting into when she started going around them. Notice how after Aaliyah’s death Beyonce goes solo and takes off like a rocket. It’s a shame.

Apparently, Dame needs a job and he is not about to get into no beef. Years ago, he would of told you how he really felt but of course that was before they start posting his foreclosure signs and repo notices. Piece of humbleberry pie will make a n*gga wear a shirt and pair of sneakers twice!

Dame knows he is a big part of the ROC’s demise. That said, he spoke much truth in the interview and it seems he has indeed humbled himself. And I don’t fault him for speaking on things, Jay do keep mentioning him in his music–so Dame has every right to do the same. But honestly, these are always going to be the questions he’s asked.

I AGREE WITH SOME OF YOUR GUYS. HE WAS A ARROGANT AZZ !! NOW HE DOES SEEM QUITE HUMBLE. AT FIRST I HAD NO PITY FOR DAME NOW, I WISH HIM THE BEST. I HOPE HE CAN GET BACK ON HIS FEET, IF NOT SIMPLY FOR BEING A BLACK MAN.

THE BP3 HUMBLED ALL OF THEM. YEAH HE HAS CALMED DOWN SEPT 11, 09 WHEN HE HEARD BP3. PUT HIS BEHIND TO SHAME. IF YOU ASKE ME HIM AND JAY-Z BOTH WERE PLAYING EACH OTHER. DAME DIDN’T EXPECT HOV TO HAVE A BACKUP PLAN AND THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON HIS SIDE.

Dame must have really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way because noone here has any sympathy for him. I also think it was really dumb and irresponsible of him to lose his money but I just can’t help but feel sorry for a guy who looks like he lost all hope. As long as damon didn’t kill anyone I think those of you whom had a bad experience with him should just forgive him and move on. No need to mock him because he feels down enough.

Dame will bounce back just wait and see. He’s a smart brotha and a good business man. Im a fan of him and jay. but it seems that alot of people got it twisted. Dame was the one kickin in office doors of these record labels when no one wanted to sign jay. He and biggs put up their own money to start rocafella along wit Jay. Dame treated his artist better than any other label would have. Jay started gettin dat corporate money and sold everyone out. He sold rocafella right from under dame. And as far as his antics, Jay was/is just as full of himself and money hungry as dame was/is. jay brags about how much dough he has on a track and no one says anything. Dame says he “pops tags” everyday and people try to clown. He may not be where he was but dame got more cash than the average *****.

Shame on Jay for dissing his buddies just so he can fit into corporate america. I also see Jay Z is supposed to be starting an advertising company and if he is why not give your old buddy dame a job. Just like Dame helped jay jay can help dame.

Camel ISN’T the best rapper alive. White people hyped him up also just like his dumb blind sighted followers. Beans will be ok, just will take a little more time to get back on his grind. Kanye is a follower which is why his career will slowly fade. Camel is still mad Dame took Aaliyah when actually Dame had more flavor than Camel boring *****.

I was the biggest roc fan alive.. I cant believe some of the words expressed on here.. Dame broke down doors for “J”.. i AM ALL ABOUT LOYALTY.. OBVIOUSLY SOME ARE NOT.. i WILL ALWAYS GIVE BACK TO THOSE WHO HELPED ME COME UP.. I cant beieve “j”… it will be his own demise…
Speaking the truth...
11/19/09, 13:13:pm
Wow.
Speaking the truth...
11/19/09, 13:15:pm
Dame’s only problem was he did not want to stay behind the scenes. He had to be on the front line with the performers. He got greedy in that aspect. As far as I am concerned…the dudes you don’t know of (behind the scenes of music)…got that paper. They don’t want to be seen or heard.

I know she’s totally not the focus of this post. but D.A.M.N.!!! I miss the s.h.i.t. out of Aaliyah,, seems like yesterday every chick in the hood, had a swoop over her eye, trying to keep in tune with whateva Aaliyah was doin at the time, to think its been 8 years since we’ve witnessed cl*****, sexiness, and raw entertainment at its finest. R.I.P. to the original “HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME, WEARING DAT ROCAFELLA CHAIN”

Thank you masie for speaking the truth in here for a change. AAliyah was nothing but a no singing *****. And in fact had she not died we would still be saying who gave her a record contract. I remember back then she couldn’t even compete with brandy or monica they had way more star power.

@ Masie_UK and that other chick underneath STRAIGHT HATERS. It seems like no matter what is said about Aaliyah even in the good you find some way to try and tear her apart. I’m NOT saying she was an angel or purified saint, but she WAS one of the most intriguing, smooth, and cl*****y females in the game. I DO admit that IN DEATH SHE WAS OVERRATED. But the flip side to that is SHE WAS ONLY OVERRATED IN DEATH, BECAUSE IN LIFE SHE WAS UNDERRATED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED. We did lose a talent, and I don’t know what the hell is going on with Dame and Jay Z but why call Aaliyah a Ho? Why say she was overrated and couldn’t sing? I think some of you need to go research some things before you just go throwing out trashy debris that you have no bag to put it in.
If you listen to Aaliyah’s songs; Never Givin Up, The One I Gave My Heart To, One In A Million, Choosey Lover, At your Best [original version], More Than A Woman and her singing the National Anthem and even when she did sing At Your Best on Hot 97 as an acapella
you can tell that her voice was smooth but powerful. What you people didn’t know about her was that she was only giving way to SOME of her musical talent and depths NOT ALL OF IT. She had MORE POWER IN HER VOICE THAN SHE LET ON. THAT’S WHY SOME PEOPLE JUST CL*****IFIED HER AS “SOPRANO, SMOOTH, OR LIGHT.” But her voice really would have been a knock out.
If she had of stuck around longer, and had stayed around and did a few more tracks I believe she would have let more of that musical depth she held come out.
Journey To The Past is also a beautiful song, and her voice is more than perfect on that track. Just because she was damn near everything you guys only sat and WISHED you could be that doesn’t mean you should turn around and just try to show so much disrespect to her and what she was doing. That’s childish and uncalled for.

@ MsJazzUnique THANK YOU. And also if you guys watch MTV: Stripped with Aaliyah she even clearly states that HER AND JAY Z WERE NOTHING MORE THAN FRIENDS. You guys really need to get it out of your heads that she was messing with him, because that wasn’t the case.
But anyways, the story on Jay and Dame is old now. Dame is broke as *****, and Jay Z is one of the biggest paid rappers still pushin it.
Jay Z is reall livin what he rapped in his “Big Pimpin” video and he’s married to Beyonce.

First of all Dash is that ni— he’s a wolf he got sh– done when *****ody could its a shame to see he all weak like that but at the same time HOVIE BABY is the best that ever did (excluding *****ody) what people fail to relize is there’s only so much gangsta in all of these rappers so “J” did the best thing by switching up and going corporate it worked 4 him (600 mili plus) oh and by the way in the words of the greatest (“YOU WAS WHO YOU WAS FOR YOU GOT HERE ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME SO I’M GONE EITHER LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE”)

DAME SACRIFICED AALIYAH. HE MADE THE CALL AND THAT IS WHY SHE GOT ON THAT PLANE EARLY – SHE WAS TRYING TO GET HOME TO SEE HIM. HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. HE DID IT FOR FAME AND FORTUNE AND ALL THOSE OTHER PEOPLE ON THAT PLANE DIED TOO. ITS PAY BACK TIME FOR AALIYAH. DAME WILL NEVER COME BACK UP. BEYONCE, JAY Z, DAME, ALL OF THEM ARE GOING TO PAY, WATCH AND SEE. SHE WAS DECEIVED AND BEYONCE STOLE HER SPOTLIGHT SO SHE COULD BE WHERE SHE IS NOW. SATANIC EVIL MUSIC INDUSTRY. MJ WAS TRYING TO WARN YOU, BUT YOU WILL SEE.
