We examine the man and myth, Damon Dash and ask "Is Dame Dash REALLY a good businessman?" We talk with Keith Watson who helped complete the financial breakup of the Rocafella empire. He reveals much information about Dame's finances during that time and what Dame REALLY owned and didn't. Also hear the REAL reason why Jay Z was made President of Def Jam!!
Listen to the whole thing.

The reason why Dame is so "cash poor" is because prior to Jay deciding to split, he had chose not to cash a single a royalty check. We're talking about 8 albums worth of residuals. So when he did decide to spit, an audit was performed, and it was agreed that Jay was owed $68 mil.
Needless to say, Dame and Biggs didn't have it. He left the ROC owing with $40 million in taxes.
Buying half a mil in jewellery on credit, while in debt, instead of paying for someone to get you out of said debt.
