Dame Dash responds to former Def Jam President Lyor Cohen's statement,

[ajnapoleon]

I think dislike is a strong word but at least some of the members did feel like he didn't care for them. When Oschino and Peedi Crakk went on Drink Champs, Oschino said he an epiphany one day when he realized Jay was never on any State Property track but he would be a feature on other people's songs and was like "damn, bul really don't mess with us like that".



To be fair he did take Peedi with him (well not really "take" him cause Peedi was already at Def Jam anyway) after Peedi thought going with Dame but Dame tried to lowball him, it's just that ultimately Peedi's heart wasn't in it like that and therefore Jigga stopped pushing him and he eventually had to move on.

Remember O said


If I had a 500 million like jay every one I know or crossed path with would have a million



Yeah that’s smart

 

[MJ Truth]

How many reasons (new and old) on why this break up happened



I also could have sworn dame said he wanted to

Sell the company anyway

He was tired of the music business and wanted to be home to be a dad

Jay did albums with a guy that “graped” his “girl”

Jay have people around him that have that he can’t never be around (even tho those people was always there)

Jay “did something with foxy but can’t say what but later recanted

But also sat on a stage and said he miss Jay and Biggs and he was wilding out because of baby girl passing



Its strange it’s like dame don’t even know why or he delusional

Nah, Dame is just highly emotional and just blurts out everything on his mind. I think he genuinely feels all of these different ways at different points so you’ll get a different answer or a coping answer every time you ask him the same question.

Maybe but it’s strange


Why didn’t dipset and state prop

Come together under dame and made it pop


I will never understand that part


Or come together as the roc and go on tour without jay

Why don’t Kanye fund the project


?

He didn't take any of them nikkas with him. He only took Kayne and Bleek

That right there says enough

Oh, but he made SURE to take Young Chris's flow, though.

That right there says enough.

 

[Steelo14]

lol at thinking that Jay needs Lyor to understand basic percentages.

Jay didn’t even have a label for years until he started Roc Nation. And he’s still splitting money just with other people. And that business has lasted 16 years now, like twice as long as roc-a-fella, so it was obviously the right move.

I heard motherfukkas saying they made Hov, Made-Hov said ok, so make another Hov

He took the Young Gunz too. They had that Def Jam album in 05 but that shyt came and went

 

[The Connoisseurs]

Dame violated when Jay was reeling from Ether and went on vacation to clear his head and Dame signed Cam and Dipset behind his back.

Can’t lie this sounds like a hilarious scene from a biopic, Jay in his feels due to Nas so he goes on a vacation crying on Beyoncé’s shoulder. Dame pacing back and forth at the headquarters saying “what’s wrong with dude we need to make money” so he decides to sign cam and dipset.



This is like some Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell relationship.

this is totally false.
From facts to timeline.

Jay more than likely didn’t want his business and ultimate fate left in the hands of two other nikkas. So he did what he had to do to not only get out of that situation, but position HIMSELF as the Boss (President of Def Jam) as well as get access to his Masters (Generational wealth)

It was a no brainer as far as business decisions go. At the end of the day the only person you can rely upon to have YOUR best interest at heart is yourself. Cut out loud ass Dame and dead weight Biggs and take control of your own destiny.

It worked out for Jay, and now everybody EXCEPT Dame is back in the fold. Which means Dame is the problem

Not a fan of anybody in this.

Yet you have a complete bias.
to showing you do not know at all what factually what took place.


Dame only had to move to have beanie and cam made vp's. As a stop gap fix.
to Jay backdooring rocafella with lyor. Till defjam stepped in with their own backdoor plan like.

Hey Jay. Why go run a company with lyor.
When you can run defjam by yourself.

Dame needs to get on a herbal tea routine to clear his throat and stuff..... his voice been terrible for several years now.

Anyhow, this was asked as part of a longer "therapy" episode on "America Nu" which was previously known as Dame Dash Studios, I think? Not sure why he ditched that name.

The funny thing is that if anyone was to seriously interview Dame, they can talk about non-Roc stuff for at least an hour. The irony is that this is on his "network" so he's technically increasing his blood pressure for perhaps pennies on the dollar lol
