They say Dame was using company money to start other ventures without his partners. That’s a big problem. They say Dame was using the Company account like it was his personal. If you listen to the end of the black album on the last track, Jay Z called out Dame and said “Dame, remember when you was keeping all the books, you had that fucked up ass handwriting and shit, your accounting was crazy wrong, but we figured it out”. Jay just sat back and played chess, he was always paying attention, just not acting like he was.

Quoted wrong Hov didn’t say this bruh. His exact words at the end of “My 1st Song” are as follows Dame, whattup! Robbing the bank Niggas thought we was crazy, man, remember uhh You had that fucked up ass handwriting You was writing all the numbers that we was spending down For the videos we was doing ourselves (Ski, whattup? Original Flavor in the house) Your accounting was crazy wrong and shit But we still put it together This is him rifting and reminiscing on the song’s outro which makes sense since the Black Album was supposed to be his retirement from rap.

There’s no Jay without dame and there’s no dame without Jay. Jay wasn’t shady for branching out on his own. Jay was shady for going behind his brothers back and not letting him know the deal. Meanwhile dame is going in board rooms and yelling at people because he thinks they’re having meetings for his artist behind his back. Dame really looked like a fool while jay knew what was going on the whole time. That’s what’s foul. You don’t let your homie make an ass of himself like that. This all could have been prevented if jay was straight up.

Am I the only one that always thought Jay just flat-out snaked & screwed Dame over out of pure greed & selfishness? Maybe cuz I was like 4yrs old when all this happened? But yo after watching this...Dame has/had a massive inferiority complex e.g. his insatiable desire to flaunt weath & "a$$hole" demeanor. Real talk, I wouldn't wanna be in business w that dude either. And counting the 2000s lawsuit settlement, Dame got approx 40-45mil in late-1990s money (inflation adjusted probably 60-70min in 2022 money), PLUS owning (most likely, seems like) at least 50% of the masters to Reasonable Doubt -- which is STILL Hov's most classic album even 26 years and 10+ albums later. Forgive me if I don't shed any tears for Dame's woes and misfortunes. Jay owes him nothing & Dame maybe didn't receive the *full* buyout value commensurate to his ownership stake & intellectual property ... but I'd say he got at least 60-70% of it. And that's just business right there, that shit happens every day across the globe- someone getting shorted 20-25% based on poor negotiation or lack of functional leverage or even just sheer stupidity/greed. Long story short, this vid completely switched this preconceived idea I had of the situation. Honestly sounded like Jay was just done w him, and not even inna "im goin screw you over n take everything" kinda way... moreso inna "Yo I can't even talk to this MF anymore. Call the lawyers, let's figure out what we gotta do & how we gotta split this pie up, and let's get it done and gtfoh & away from this arrogant lunatic.. and If Dame call looking for me, just tell him I'm in London or some sh*t" kinda vibe

This video was actually Damn near perfect!!! I've posted & said this numerous times, Dame Dash is 50/50. 50% of what he says is Powerful & Motivational the other 50% is Garbage!!! All the people giving this a thumbs down are the people who don't believe fire is hot or water is wet. Figure out how to see or get your hands on "International Grizzly". It's a documentary that Dame had Choke No Joke shoot & direct (which Choke NEVER got paid for, which is why he's been dissing Dame for over 10 year's now). The DVD is basically 2 part's the 1st 80% is Dame & Biggs blowing tons of Roc - A-Fella $$$ all over Europe with a bunch of flunkies they took with them. Dame claims they are in Europe to expand the Roc-A-Fella & Rocawear brand. You can tell Jay is about to leave because they get a call about Jay recording Me & My Girlfriend with Beyonce they knew nothing about. Later after the break up Dame refuses to mention Rocawear at all & is wearing his "CEO" clothing line. Jay made the right BU$INE$$ move & even Biggs has NO problem with Jay & done business with him since he came home!!!!

They say Dame was using company money to start other ventures without his partners. That’s a big problem. They say Dame was using the Company account like it was his personal. If you listen to the end of the black album on the last track, Jay Z called out Dame and said “Dame, remember when you was keeping all the books, you had that fucked up ass handwriting and shit, your accounting was crazy wrong, but we figured it out”. Jay just sat back and played chess, he was always paying attention, just not acting like he was.
Quoted wrong Hov didn’t say this bruh. His exact words at the end of “My 1st Song” are as follows Dame, whattup! Robbing the bank Niggas thought we was crazy, man, remember uhh You had that fucked up ass handwriting You was writing all the numbers that we was spending down For the videos we was doing ourselves (Ski, whattup? Original Flavor in the house) Your accounting was crazy wrong and shit But we still put it together This is him rifting and reminiscing on the song’s outro which makes sense since the Black Album was supposed to be his retirement from rap.

Erich Knodel facts!
But the funny thing is when he posts clips of his cheesy movies on Instagram the comments are 90% positive. Peolwl bigging up his films and his business sense. Someone above said Dame is major to hood people and I think they are right.
Reality is he did put together multimillion dollar deals in t-shirts an Air Force one's You can't knock that he helped build a half billion dollar company that's facts He'll always be a legend for what he put together they changed the game
Christopher Simmons No doubt about it. He definitely built a brand but his ego got in the way and he couldn’t accept that Jay was shining more than him. Don’t get me wrong. Jay is shady too. He was just smarter about it. No one gets out without getting dirty.
@@erichknodel4334 There would be no roc without Dame. You're a fool.
Dame seems like the type of dude that will mess something up but blame everyone except himself and that’s a dangerous person to be around in my opinion
Dame is arrogant but the thing is in life you should always be humble because if you don't life will humble you
Everyone has a boss. Dame talks like he is a billionaire, but in fact came nowhere close.
Plenty of millionaires don't have bosses clown.
@@carloslosamoore1 you are the clown ass who is obviously incapable of applying critical thinking. Everyone has a boss. Everyone has to rely on someone, or group for income. Whether it be a board of directors, investors, customers, etc. Think beyond the surface clown.
I think he was just misunderstood. He was more about taking the long route and investing their product and brand to the culture. Whereas those around him were sprinting to get rich by selling to mainstream media. Idk what really happened because I wasnt there but just an educated guess.
@@kevionthomas5984 I admire what he accomplished. The brother has a gift and it is clear. But we cannot excuse abhorrent behavior. The two are not mutually exclusive. Nah mean? He is both repugnant and widely creative from a business perspective; the latter doesn't grant him a pass. Chill Dame, be humble.
Mr. CYP yes they do. No matter how big your business is your customers are the people you get money from and the government are the ones who benefit from you. No matter how strong you are, you can never be strong enough to run everything around you.
Rachel Roy was the one who really finessed him. Nobody wanna admit that nor does he.
Yeah she's the real one, and Dame fucked himself on these other deals more than Jay finessed him.
she was hot tho
Jason Rigone So because she was fine, it’s okay that she finessed him?
Revenant no.....its the fact dame dash a dipshit that makes it ok.....marrying a fuckin intern at YOUR company? Thats some simple jack shit Dame should of composed himself, disregarded women and aquired funds.
@@Revenant-jv7dm nah, but most of them hoes do it.
Am I the only one that always thought Jay just flat-out snaked & screwed Dame over out of pure greed & selfishness? Maybe cuz I was like 4yrs old when all this happened? But yo after watching this...Dame has/had a massive inferiority complex e.g. his insatiable desire to flaunt weath & "a$$hole" demeanor. Real talk, I wouldn't wanna be in business w that dude either. And counting the 2000s lawsuit settlement, Dame got approx 40-45mil in late-1990s money (inflation adjusted probably 60-70min in 2022 money), PLUS owning (most likely, seems like) at least 50% of the masters to Reasonable Doubt -- which is STILL Hov's most classic album even 26 years and 10+ albums later. Forgive me if I don't shed any tears for Dame's woes and misfortunes. Jay owes him nothing & Dame maybe didn't receive the *full* buyout value commensurate to his ownership stake & intellectual property ... but I'd say he got at least 60-70% of it. And that's just business right there, that shit happens every day across the globe- someone getting shorted 20-25% based on poor negotiation or lack of functional leverage or even just sheer stupidity/greed. Long story short, this vid completely switched this preconceived idea I had of the situation. Honestly sounded like Jay was just done w him, and not even inna "im goin screw you over n take everything" kinda way... moreso inna "Yo I can't even talk to this MF anymore. Call the lawyers, let's figure out what we gotta do & how we gotta split this pie up, and let's get it done and gtfoh & away from this arrogant lunatic.. and If Dame call looking for me, just tell him I'm in London or some sh*t" kinda vibe
You talk too damn much..like Dame
Dame dash, suge knight and irv gotti 3 dudes with over inflated egos who NEVER realised they weren't the golden goose. Jay z, dre and 50 cent, keep doing your thing.
Dame is richer than all of those names except for dre and Jay. If dre isn't a billionaire then nvm also him too

Alfred Hicks truth

I guess no body gonna about Dame Dash had something to do with Aaliyah death and he and Jay Z both were fighting over her ,huh?Js
Carmuse Mitchem and r kelly had been up in aaliyah long before both of em....shit long before she was legal....
This was so enlightening. Used to feel sorry for Dame but with these nahhh, I would have dipped too. Great story telling Ross
He wasn't finessed by Jay Z Dame allowed his feelings to get in the way of a sound business decision
I had that Hard Knock Life DVD. Who remembers DJ Clue’s hair 😂
Mans had an afro , a fade , and a ceasar all at the same time lmaooo
Ctfu
OYDK Art a Brooklyn too had to rep for all the boroughs😂😂
Yess!!!😂😂😂
Dame is his own worse enemy he treated so many people like shit! He thought he could act like he was better then other people especially people that wasn't as successful. I believe Jay Z got tired of how Dame was representing him and how he treated people reflected Jay I think Jay realized that Dame wasn't as business smart as him and he could go way further on his own then his self.
Nice etits
Leave her alone..with her fine self!..none of us know shit as to what exactly happened but i do know as long as that bitch ass lyor cohen is involved theres alot of stealing going on so with that said theres no way to know exactly what anything is...live yr life not theirs...

@@larryhughes4327 Damn I didn’t want to say it but yay she fine as hell
Dame Dash kept it real with me. About publishing the dismantling of the label and ownership. Much respect to him not taking advantage of a new artist like other CEOs tried to do
he did though, kanye still dont own his own masters

Dame Dash: "I rather invest in a woman." Rachel Roy: "I don't talk, I make money moves."
Jay isnt dirty.... This is Chess not checkers.... He outsmarted Dame on every level
Dame has been a has been, nobody , post his Jay-Z departure. Getting away from him was J's best move, and his billionaire success proves that.
Lets not forget when Curren$y sued Dash for 2 Mill.
Cris Martinez thats in the vid :)
Why did he sue
Cris Martinez they settled their differences. It happens in business all the time. Currensy just did an interview awhile ago where he said they are still cool
Dame was trying to get money off the music as usual.
Dash schooled lil man into staying independent & owning his own shi%. ... but for a sec , he let them ole label dudes get in his head !
In a human resources terminology, Dame has no soft skills
Nice
@@COMPACTTVHD well, i wouldn't go that far

Bosses can get bossy, but if you are constantly disrespectful, no one will follow you even if you can lead.
"Having a boss is like having hair. Who needs it?" 😂😂😂😂😂 perfect just perfect

Look at dame face when bleek was talkin about the coat he was tight 😂
😂
say what u want but dame brought cam/dipset to the roc and made them more than jay.. took a chance on kanye.. dude shouldnt be dismissed because hes loud
He went behind Jay's back to do it. And all that yelling doesn't wash in corporate America
@@TheTrut416 if going behind jay z back give us kanye west who gives a shit
Especially if that's your boy that got you to where you're at... I could never get 1 over somebody who helped me with my dreams. Jay a backstabber and a fraud.
@@aryaxz2255 If you're in a business partnership you suppose to be in constant communication with each other to finalize deals. Jay had beef with Cam at the time and Dame puts him and Dipset in a video and wanted him to be VP. You straighten it out with your associate first even if it's for the greater good. That's what a partnership is, not go behind ones back
@@coinkidink9997 Dame was spending the company money like crazy to a point Jay had to put a halt to everything and let him know all expenses come thru him first. Between yelling and screaming as well as belittling ppl in meetings, restaurants, parties, Jay had enough of it. There comes a time in ones life you have to show professionalism and class. Dame could have been sharing billions with Jay.
25:35 "Jay wasn't signed to Roc-A-Fella. Jay WAS Roc-A-Fella."
1st Trap Lore Ross video I ever watched. Been a fan since
This video was actually Damn near perfect!!! I've posted & said this numerous times, Dame Dash is 50/50. 50% of what he says is Powerful & Motivational the other 50% is Garbage!!! All the people giving this a thumbs down are the people who don't believe fire is hot or water is wet. Figure out how to see or get your hands on "International Grizzly". It's a documentary that Dame had Choke No Joke shoot & direct (which Choke NEVER got paid for, which is why he's been dissing Dame for over 10 year's now). The DVD is basically 2 part's the 1st 80% is Dame & Biggs blowing tons of Roc - A-Fella $$$ all over Europe with a bunch of flunkies they took with them. Dame claims they are in Europe to expand the Roc-A-Fella & Rocawear brand. You can tell Jay is about to leave because they get a call about Jay recording Me & My Girlfriend with Beyonce they knew nothing about. Later after the break up Dame refuses to mention Rocawear at all & is wearing his "CEO" clothing line. Jay made the right BU$INE$$ move & even Biggs has NO problem with Jay & done business with him since he came home!!!!
Made me laugh at 12:30 when you see him getting prepared for a haircut.. Quality. WTF
So at the end of the day, Jay-Z made the right move lol
I get it now. Dame Dash was an emotional business man. Jay Z is an logical businessman. Success and numbers do not lie
After Dame left Rocawear he was running around saying how he left the company in pieces. So Dame played himself.
I hope we’re not forgetting paid in full as a classic movie produced by roc-a-fella
Produced by dame* ppl disagreed with dame making that movie he had to jump thru hurdles
Weinstein company produced that
Konz Pect classic movie not all a true story though. which is a shame
I just watched this from helloyassine two perspectives😂😂

Julian potatoe truth
Facts!
Julian potatoe 😂😂😂good one
Damn you sound fake AF why chill with someone if they aint your boy
Otis Reading exactly
Can't even call it a finesse if the other person Is being stupid and making poor decisions. I can't even be mad at the way Jay came up, he's the definition of letting toxic people go in your life. I like the way you broke this down cause I always looked at Jay as the bad guy. In actuality just a man on a mission to get what is rightfully his.
Facts!!! I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title. Other than that this guy did a good job with this story.
Toxic ? This dude ruined a blk Dynasty cause his petty ego and hubris
None are good or bad guys. Both rich as hell and interacted with one another after all of the bull.
Great video as usual. This is some legendary stuff though. It’s the ROC!!
Needed this
Jay Z had to get away from Dame
And that's a personal preference that didn't have include breaking up a Black-Owned Empire and fuckin everybody's bag up.
Jay-Z had to go where the YT people where. He had no choice. He became an asset to them. He had no control over where he wanted to go. He had to go with the YT people.
@@0Lu.Lu0 Jay-Z had to go where the YT people where. He had no choice. He became an asset to them. He had no control over where he wanted to go. He had to go with the YT people.
@@ianwilson4483 Then we shouldn’t be idolizing him as someone who made the biggest “chess move” and as someone who has so much power. It’s not that he “had no choice”, it’s that he is a yt sprmcst in black skin, similar to Barak Obama.
@@0Lu.Lu0 your saying it’s messing up everyone back but everyone who had talent post rocafella was successful eg jay and Kanye the rest were just leeches with no talent none of them even went platinum
I wish they’d just squash the beef. They just grew apart. I see both sides of it equally. I see how Dame feels betrayed but I also see how Jay Z was growing up seeing the big picture. Can’t be mad at either of them
Jay has business acumen Dame has a different vibe
Regardless of his actions, both Dame and Biggs will and should always have a bad taste in their mouths about the way in which jay went about dissolving the label without saying anything. Not excusing dames faults or saying jay is a snake but seeing that everyone says that they were friends I can understand how everyone could take this whole thing personally as well as having things change so much financially. While we celebrate Jay leaving with complete ownership, they left with only one master of the whole catalog
My thing is that nobody talks about is Dame was stealing company money out of Rocafella to fund his own personal projects that had nothing to do with Jay and Jay got wind of it through one of the reps at Rocafella, that's how all this started, so I dont see how Jay is wrong in any way period, but not only that, how could Jay be wrong for just wanting to leave somebody if he felt he was out growing a guy, dont he have that right to say I dont want to stay in this environment? So with the fact that Dame was stealing and yelling at everybody he came into contact with, because he felt he was the smartest and everybody was beneath him, that's how Dame thinks...
CD Williams you literally just agreed with me. They kept the masters because they are real hustlers who couldn’t walk away empty handed. But they were NOT happy with jay leaving the way he did. Don’t play yourself fam
Naw Dame was ALL THE WAY WRONG. You cant be out here spending reckless. Try that with WHITE corporate money. Yo ass getting fired
i love these in depth vids
When they re issued the Reasonable Doubt album on vinyl Dame Dash images are absent. There's Jay and Kareem only. OUCH
Where? I saw how Dame wasn't there at the LA Pop-up for Roc96 though, I have some word from Dame and a few other close to the situation as to why FOREAL, but run me that cover you're talking about.
I never knew jay made dame look like this much of sucka.
It definitely gave me good insight on Jay's long sight on business moves. How he exited The Roc gracefully. Only to win back his rights to his previous albums! He must of heard The Beatles Michael Jackson stories
This is honestly the best and most accurate video I’ve ever watched regarding Dame and Hov! Good job.
Then you haven't seen any of my VLAD interviews !!! Roc Nation is now run by the government !!!
He literally got the name of Roc-A-Fella's history wrong. It was a hustler in NY. That's why Nas said "Roc A Fella died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter. That's the guy you chose to name your company after?"
How old are you?? Lmao
I am 36 my guy. Not new to this hip-hip shit at all.
John D. Rockerfella and his son were both the riches men in the world. What does “dying of aids” have to do with Jay Z’s company. It was about the business not his personal life.

I'll always root for my brothas to succeed but at the end of the day there was no growth with dame dash which is why he is in the position he is today.

There's something about JayZ that sets him apart. He's like a business man who happens to rap and enjoy HipHop culture... Everyone else is a rapper who wants to play corporate and falls somewhere along the way... A well deserved billion Mr. Carter.

The difference between arrogance and confidence is Dame and Jay Z. Jay Z is confident and Dame is arrogant. Confidence allows for a person to humble themselves and lean on others for advice. Arrogant individuals believe they have all the answers and they don’t.
Samantha King it’s sad because Dame could accomplish great things if he just humble himself. He has a lot of great ideas, but what’s a great idea to a person that’s arrogant.
