Its cause you not from New York so you dont really know what is going on. Hov been hosting a "Book Of Hov" event at a library here for the past month.


In this library it pretty much chronicles his life and career.





Then at said event you are having statements like this from people who went there. :francis:

Are there photos of Biggs there?

Not true. Jay was going to take the position whether they gave up their portion or not. It was Roc-A-Fella records he would be giving them instead.

Jay got offered that position because during his career, he never cashed any checks from Def Jam, as he felt the money he made ghostwriting, touring, and being 1/3 CEO of the Roc was enough to live off. When he retired years later, and came to Def Jam to finally cash in on this large sum, it would financially cripple the company, so they offered him to be CEO and President of Def Jam, full ownership of Roc-A-Fella Records, while also receiving the masters to all his other albums at the end of his tenure.
:skip: LA Reid gave him that position because he didn't know shyt about rap and thought it would make him look more credible.

That library exhibition wasn't even Jay's doing, shyt was a surprise even to him apparently.

But I guess the people that set it up also don't fukk with Dame. It is what it is. The nikka should move on with his life.
Lol I googled it and it says it was created by the BK Public Library not JayZ himself lol

Like why the f would whoever loved JayZ (a homegrown star) put Dame Dash the only person really still doing multiple interviews talking down in Jay about stuff like his character, R Kelly, just wild stuff into HIS life exhibit?

I don’t feel like JayZ made his own exhibit nor curated what was in it lol

Jay said it himself.. DefJam offered him his masters back and the president position. He went to Dame & Biggs and told them he would give up everything for their part of the Reasonable Doubt masters. They declined. He took the position.

That's the thing, the people he's speaking about, he did consider to be loyal, at one point. Which is why he's so hurt by their actions. He saw these people as family. You bond with these people and grew through adversity together and build something with them, and help them when they need it, only to see them turn their backs on you later. That's wild. So I can see why he's having so much trouble accepting it. It's just that everyone doesn't live by the same code he does, and they'll do whatever to get by. Even betray people who put them on.

Dame and Cam will always be cool. They grew up together. So they always have little disagreements every couple years. It's been that way since before Roc wasn't even a label. They'll be good again. Jim was never really Dame's man. He just got affiliated through Cam when Dame brought him over to Roc. He doesn't have the same history with him.
Do you know these people? This is detailed I hope this isn’t fan fiction lol

There could never be a Roc-a-fella story of any kind without Dame. But with that being said, Dame got to stop doing this, it's embarrassing. Every interview he rehashing this era makes him sound like scorned ex-wife who's no longer getting alimony.

Hit that n*gga and tell him straight up - bruh I'm proud of what we built, I'm proud of you, I apologize for everything - keep going, God bless you and your family. And let the rest of it die.
That would take some humility breh.

Dame has been ostracized from the community and its taken its toll on him.....

Pride is a hell of a thing
But dame said he didn’t want to be apart of the hip-hop community


Or he said that to change the damn narrative


He does that a lot


I have no problem with dame being hurt


Just stop acting so damn righteous like he never did nothing wrong


That he was not stealing
That he was not making decisions without telling the other 2
Firing people without the other 2 knowing
Damn at least say “yeah I was moving reckless”
Jay got tired of it and he left

Why is that so hard to see

All them fukked it up but dame acting like trump


“I did nothing wrong and if did it was someone else that made me do it”
