Ty wasn't around as much after '93.
Those who were actually around, know this. This is when Jay started hanging around uptown a lot. When he met Dame, they got so close, that they both agreed to make each other the godfathers of their first sons. Ty wouldn't come back around for another couple years. When Jay was always coming up to 1199, he wasn't even speaking to Ty or E then. For a minute. Jay used to always tell us Dame was his "best friend" and "#1 brother". Which is exactly why Dame is so hurt because he was telling Dame the same sh*t.
My OG was the one who introduced Dame and Jay. When Jay came to the block to meet Dame, we were all there, as kids. From that day, those two were together all the time. When they went to get the bread to start the label, and had to drive over to see Haven, only two people went, Dame and Jay. We were all on 140th and 7th before they went to see dude. He and Dame were wild close back then. He didn't grow up with him, but when the ship started moving, if you saw Jay, Dame was with him. It was that way for years. Everybody that was around back then, knows that.
