I had no Damon Dash as my partner, Just maniacs, wish I had a Damon - Nas

[Harry B]

No shots, just Nas on the same shyt Jay is at, Bob Marley peace shyt. Giving props to a former enemy, I guess they haven’t officially squashed their beef?

 

[up in here]

To anyone trying to figure out what nas was saying, think about long term success, who would you rather come in the game with in your corner, Dame and Puff, or Lake and Sherm?

 

[prophecypro]

Some of y'all weird as hell


The line was simply showing and admiring how Dame used to fight for his guys

Its a huge

It aint a diss to Jay, I dont even think its a diss to Nas guys coming up

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

You just reminded me of that lil jab Jay took on the song with Cole. I had the illmatic- on bootleg

Ghostface heard illmatic songs in france or something because it was bootlegged that hard before it even dropped that it was around the world.

you keep reaching and fail.

 

[spliz]

Ho can you say Dame would have gotten Illmatic platinum out the gate when he couldn't even get RD platinum out the gate?

I agree Nas needed better businessmen in his ear and somebody to teach him about building a movement but would Nas have listened at the time? He was missing shows and losing out on deals even when Steve Stoute was in his corner. Nas is different. He's not a hustler, disciplined dude like Hov. He's anti social and aloof, and spent years disappearing on people. How do you make that work, outside of just having dope music like he did?

To me a better argument is that Nas needed a better team after Stoute left. That period kinda got ugly. He's got a great manager now and is straight, so it all worked out.

Do u read? When did I say Dame would make Nas Platinum out the gate? I said Nas wouldve been GOLD out the gate. Check this out. Jay was Gold out the gate and that’s with their own money and funding. Nas SHOULDVE been Gold but his release was botched and mismanaged because of bootlegging. If someone like Dame was in his corner. It wouldn’t have happened on that scale. They wouldve been up to the offices demanding them to get that shyt in check. They were finding warehouses full of Illmatic bootlegs. Do u honestly think Diddy or Dame wouldve let that shyt happen? U either didn’t read my post or the whole shyt went over ur head.

 

[Deltron]

Last time I checked he wasn't rocking with Kenyetta

really? damn. What happened?

 

[MikeStamina]

tf do i need media when i can listen to the man himself. i really wonder if some of you ever listen to music or just skim through it just to chat shyt on forums

Listen, could you imagine writing your deposition?
Divorce lawyer telling you how this thing gonna be ending?
“With you paying out the ass, and I’m talking half
Not some but half, no serious, half"

-Nas, bye baby​

My man, you do know nas was already a multi millionaire in 09 right?
Kelis didn't get half or no where near it based on his net worth at the time of filing. She didn't even get 10% of his net.
People was blown away by the 50k monthly spousal support as if the shyt was for eternity.smh

Looking back at it, nas escaped not having a prenup. Didn't hurt him as much as we all presumed INITIALLY.

You quoting rap lyrics while I'm quoting actual court documents posted by tmz.

"you paying out the ass, and I’m talking half
Not some but half, no serious, half"

​

He said that shyt like it's news, lol, on some "no seriously bro, like she wants half of everything. Not some...but half. She wants half of my shyt, "


Negro everybody know how that works already, you the only one shocked

idk it depends on what state you're in and whether you had a prenup..... i think they didn't have a prenup and got married or lived in cali which is a state where they divide it equally

 

[UserNameless]

Nas has had tons of people championing him his whole career lol

The nikka don’t form long-standing relationship music wise.

I agree with 305 do kind of downplay Hov success. shyt is like when Tmac saying what he would do if he had Shaq like Kobe. We see how it turned out for Kobe after Shaq. Just like we see Hov without Dame.

Yeah , I think it’s a tad bit of a sub to a number of people as well as a compliment to Dame .

 

[Da King]

Hes slighting Jays entrepreneur skills like Hov needed or relied on Dame like that. I had no Damon Dash, just maniacs I wish I had a Damon dash I woulda been straighter = you had a businessman as your right hand and I had nikkas like jungle and horse, if I had a dame I would been even bigger than I am but I still made it. Maybe Im reading too much into but also not a huge diss or nothing but its a love tap, lil nudge if you will

And if Pac and Big was alive those bars woulda been for them 2

They been doing this shyt for years at this point

Edit: Nas also lying his ass off like Steve Stoute hasnt been in his corner for 20+ years but ok

 

[Frida Giezman]

seems to me like nas is just saluting dame at a time when everyone is kinda kicking dame while he’s down

 

[Robbie3000]

He also name checked Suge and Puff. Was that a sub at Pac and Big too?

I had no Damon Dash as my partner
Just maniacs, wish I had a Damon
I woulda been straighter with that shyt
No Puffs, I had crack sellers to trust
No Suges, not even no havin' your shyt when we change
How the patterns go
Free Bill Underwood
Morris Levy was free, grabbin' dough
Status quo straight from the barrios
Khaled know how the Calico was blowin'
To all my dawgs CEOin'
P and Coach K and Top Dawg, see, we growin'
Brother, my Highbridge nikkas a lotta weed smokin'
Later I had my dawg Steve missin'
Lightey and my man Shakir

That wasn't a shot to Jay.

He was just saying he wasn't thinking about the business end and didn't have a person with a good business partner on his Team.

Btw.. I will forever salute Dame Dash, he made mistakes but he really was the independent pitbull that neither Jay or Nas was. He laid the blueprint for what many labels are doing now.
