Anyone from NY know that ain’t true :unimpressed:

He didn’t even make it famous :unimpressed:

Cam made no homo famous but even he didn’t claim to invent it :gucci:
Has to have some truth to. Says his crew was saying it in the 80s or early 90s. Jay was the first artist to use it in that context from my knowledge. Then cam and everyone from Harlem popularized the term in its meaning.

what’s the connection between jay and cam? Dame

So maybe he didn’t invent it but he might have gotten it from his team

And maybe his team got it from the streets of NY like the rest of us did

No homo been a thing since the 90s

Pause been a thing since before any of us even knew who Dame was

No homo was more of a Harlem thing, Pause was more city wide

If true, then he should have trademarked it, especially being that he is a businessman...
Trademark what? In order to trademark something you actually have to use it for "trade" i.e. sell something with it. It was just a phrase him and his homies used and it took a life of it's own. He never intended on selling "pause" shirts which no one even sells now so what money would have been in that?

Trademark Pause?
nikkas just trying to sound smart to sound smart. There is literally nothing to trademark there. Same with any other catch phrase that goes viral. You didn't know it was going to go viral. People trademark things they actually intend to sell.

I believe him :manny:. He said it was his crew Best Out which means it wouldve been like late 80s early 90s. First time I heard it on a song was Jay Z on Money Cash Hoes. And first time I heard No Homo it was Cam. The evidence adds up...
I honestly didn't think ppl on this board didn't know Dame was the one who started pause even before his breakfast club interview. We all knew Cam said No homo and Dame said pause.

I thought it was just a New York thing. I remember Cam started saying No Homo then New Yorkers saying that they had been saying pause. Then people everywhere started saying both

Got caught with the pork
But you gotta kill the cop in your thoughts
Still sayin' "Pause?"
Negroes say they hate the cops
But the minute somethin' off, they wanna use force

Check this out..

Why did you take my post serious???

Next, where in my original post did I state that I knew his intentions?

Furthermore, it is plausible that he could have used the word PAUSE and put it on a shirt, mug, ballon, trucker hat or banner to make money.

No different than what Pepsi, Coke, Sprite did when they took a word that was invented by someone, and said word became a brand which was trademarked and they became staple brands sold all over the world.

Now...

The reason why I even responded to this thread was to make a statement to the relevance of why Same Dash felt the need to let the world know that he coined the phrase "Pause". Was it for bragging rights? Since when does bragging rights mean anything??

So, it isn't far fetched for someone to make up a word, phrase, slogan up to a sentence to find a way to monetize off of it.

Baby did it with " Put some respekt on it" and put it on a shirt. This is a fact because I bought a shirt from him on his website back in the day.

Lastly, I have no issue with you disagreeing with anything I say on this site, but I take exception to you questioning my intelligence based on your disagreement. I am far from being unintelligent!
