2 podcast if you're Rocafella fans.
sounds like Rocafella splitting up hit him hard and had a problem w. the booze.
never believed in Jay at first..especially comparing him to Nas but Dame said he was the best.
said he pulled up in a nice whip, had money but dressed like an ugly BK dude.
used to fire Jay up by comparing him to Nas and when Nas wouldn't jump on a record with Jay.
it lit a fire under Jay to go even harder.
his whole relationship with State Prop.
feels Young Chris should be so rich..they fired Beans up by telling him constantly Cam was nicer.
said he only knew Cam as a great ball player..next thing he's this great rapper.
the tension between Jay and Cam was "nasty"
spoke on the studio session between Cam and Jay for Welcome To NY
Dame was a friend but was terrible to work for but without him nothing would have worked.
Dame gets no credit for how he built up Rocawear.
the break up.
couple tidbits.
on the cd they gave Cam, 9 of the beats ended up Diplomatic Immunity.
Rsonist says several big records wouldn't get cleared.
one was supposed to be Juelz first single w/ Ashanti that had a Bobby Womack sample.
R Kelly wouldn't clear a sample for a Dipset song.
(i'm guessing this played a part in why Cam started sitting on R Kelly for a while around then)
one funny situation w/ trying to get Isaac Hayes to clear a sample but the record had ItsDipsetbytch tags all over it and it had the Mohammed Atta bars on it and it never got cleared.
the competition at Baseline.
example: Heatmakerz were playing beats for Jim, Just was on the board..Jay pops in and is bopping to the beat, Just stops the beat and put on his beats for Jay and Jay just walked out and Rsonist felt maybe he should've spoke up.
Cam thought they were trying to steal his wave so would move studios sometimes.
sent Juelz to Sony instead of Baseline to record most of his debut.
had a couple beats on the Wayne/Juelz album. he got on a Wayne album due to Dipset goon British.
felt Waynes progression is owed in a big way to Dipset.
post...Dipset era.
