Burned too many bridges smh. He figured as long as Hov was around he could do whatever the fukk he want and naturally hes just an a$$hole type nikka
I remember back on sohh when it came out Jay was taking these label execs on vacation after Dame basically tore them a new a$$hole and nikkas was saying how disloyal jay was being, Nah thats him having foresight and being a good businessman. Dame aint have to act the way he did to get the results rocafella needed by shytting on these important labels heads and etc. He was just being a power trippin a$$hole and felt HE himself didnt need those people and really wasnt thinking about the company as a whole
"When its over nikkas aint gonna fukk wit u!...nikkas barely fukk wit u now"
Now we see dame a decade after the break-up of rocafella and hes a totally washed up reality tv star while Hov is onf of the most successful Musicians in history![]()
Yeah I always understood Dame had to take on the role of "bad guy" when it was Rocafella vs THE INDUSTRY-- but if you gonna be the pit bull- you gotta remember not to bite the hand that feeds u-- when it was all said and done if Dame had no industry friends left, he should have made sure Jayz & staff LOVED HIM![]()
You see the same people on the way down that you do on the way up, Dame never learned that lesson... he only has himself to blame for his situation currently
This gon be Friday's episode?
nikka its obvious WHY they preferred to deal with Jay. Look at how Dame acts. Bleek even says NOBODY fukks with you and im sure he was talking about more people than label heads. Dame was a dikkhead to EVERYBODY. They all sold their shares of rocawear/rocafella but because Dame was such an a$$hole they offered it back to Hov you know why? Hov was owed $50M in royalties that Dame seemed to fukk up that Def Jam offered that to him along with masters of all his albums under Def Jam.Its obvious the label bosses preferred dealing with jay. He was handed the rocawear deal. For all of this talk of being a great businessman he basically just cashed out the whole ROC dynasty. Fast forward to today and he's trying to trick people into buying tidal subscriptions by holding albums hostage. Its funny the dudes who dikk ride jay in this situation are the kind of people I would not like to be around.
Hip hop lost when the ROC broke up. Black men will never have that level of power in the music industry again.

I agree 100% He took the money, over being his own boss. Jay-Z has this thing where he is obsessed with gaining cac approval (references to abstract painters, tom ford, etc) He aint even talking to US anymore, and hasnt been for over 10 years.
iN OTHER WORDS: JAY-Z A IS AND HAS BEEN A SELLOUT. JUST A SELLOUT WHO CAN RAP WELL. NO MORE, NO LESS.![]()
