One of the most interesting, disappointing, and eloquently handled hip hop beefs is the one between entrepreneurs/entertainers Jay Z and Dame Dash, so when the two speak on it ears tingle.
Recently Dame Dash co-founder of Roc-A-Fella recently spoke on his relationship with Jay-Z and the reasons he decided to work with him.
“That goes without saying if I’m getting with you is that you gonna be a game changer,” he said. “Like I don't really just get with you if I don’t think that you’re not gonna change history. What’s the purpose of doing it? That’s not the game I’m playing. It’s not my business model. Like I’m not trying to get a record deal and I’m not trying to sell records. I’m trying to make history. And as much of it as I can in a world where usually the management or the [administrators] are usually robbing the artist and the artist ends up broke. And the management ends up rich. It seems to be the other way around. So, that must mean I must be really honest or something…So, I take pride in not only what I’ve done, but the way I’ve done it. And also the results.”
He also went on to say that the popularity that his daughter received ftom Jay Z shouting her out during the Magna Carter World Tour influenced him to work with the mogul.
Typical Dame, but it has me wondering if the two plan to team up for another business venture. Would be great to see and learn from. #staytuned
