LA Reid was his boss. LA ran Island/Def Jam.
But my point is still the same, there is a glaring lack of black execs in an industry that is 99.9% black.

It’s Crystal clear why rockafella broke up. Dame Dash would be impossible to maintain a business relationship with. I have no idea how they lasted so long.
He is very very dangerously clever but there are flaws with that. I can imagine it’s impossible to reason with him.
This would make ‘partnership’ impossible.
Facts, he stayed talking over him. He's annoying like that, smh!Dame doesn't let nick talk..smh
Dame has the gift of gab. He’s a good speaker and can articulate himself well. This is why he can take his incomplete knowledge of certain things and have u believe it cause of the way he brings it across. U have to be very knowledgeable urself to be able to call out his bullshyt. Cause dude can navigate with words.
Fox got discovered in ‘94 when she was 15.
Ain’t No nikka was recorded in ‘95 when she was 16.
She signed her deal at the beginning of ‘96 when she was 17.

Dame is also a liar, so who knows what's real. He's also stubborn and chose to die on his own horse....Dame's flaw is that he keeps it too real while everyone else around him is willing to scheme and sell out. This nikka told Hov that Kelz raped Aaliyah and he still does songs/albums with the guy?
nikkas was always trying to make 100% corporate decisions while Dame was trying to do business while still maintaining independence and at least some integrity. He always gets made to look bad in situations where he's just keeping it real. Took heat for running up on Lee Daniels, but what about the fact he loaned the guy money in the first place? Dame always got to look bad when he's just reacting to the hoe shyt people he's working with are doing.
Rocafella broke up cuz Hov sold out and evidently ignored what Dame said about Kelz, not because of Dame's "flaws"
Dame also called out Harvey before anybody else did. He's on the right side of shyt but no one wanna listen cuz they too busy selling out
Yup I remember this and around that time Jim was calling Jay-z a sneak theif ...... Dame full of shytDame is also a liar, so who knows what's real. He's also stubborn and chose to die on his own horse....
There's a part in this interview where Nick straight up asks him "There was no time during the split that things were offered. I'll take this and you take that"
Dame says no and explains how he just got surprised and fukked.. but just a few years ago he said this:
Jay decided to sever business ties with his fellow founders; their stake in the company was sold back to Island Def Jam for a reported $10 million, while controlling interests in the remaining clothing, film, and alcohol ventures were sliced up. Jay signed a three-year contract to become president and CEO of Def Jam–a position he would leave in 2008 for Live Nation. He offered the rights to the name “Roc-a-Fella” to Dash and Biggs in exchange for the recording masters to Reasonable Doubt, but the pair wouldn’t make the deal. “We all earned those masters,” Dash says.This turn of events remains bewildering. “The people that I was helping, once they realized their dreams, they did what a criminal would do,” Dash continues. “They stabbed you in the back. Think about the frustration of building a brand for years that should be taking care of your family, and then the person that was the closest to you saying, ‘Nah, you can’t have no parts of it,’ and flushing it.” (Village Voice)
So he admits he was offered an exchange. And he would have been the sole owner (or shared with Biggs) of Roc-a-Fella. But they chose to keep RD instead. A stupid, dumbass move, made out of being stubborn
Yes!!!!! Was just saying this same shyt to my dudeMan can somebody please find me the audio
