Who favorited?Damon Dash: "Kanye Hated Jay-Z," Source Cries Foul
by on November 19th, 2008
Roc-A-Fella co-founder Dame Dash hasn't been making many positive headlines as of late.
From struggling to make his high-ends meet to co-signing Jim Jone's random disses, in a recent interview with Complex Magazine, Dash continues his streak as he spoke on his estrange relationship with Jay-Z.
According to the NY Daily News, Dash claims Jay set off a feud with Kanye West after refusing to give him a Roc-A-Fella chain to wear on stage.
"This nigga [Kanye ] was like, 'Wow. [Jay-Z] ain't going to give me the chain,'"Dash alleges in December's Complex magazine.
"I had to take off my chain and give it to him, and I was heated. I had the real canary diamonds. That s - cost $40,000! I told Kanye, 'Yo, you got to give that back when we get off this stage!'"
"Kanye hated Jay-Z," he claims.
A source tells the Daily News however that Dash is just crying out for attention alledging he's doing it to promote Jim Jones.
"Damon does this every time he's promoting an artist. He just makes things up" the source says.
"Damon wants to blow Jim up," adding that Dash is producing a documentary about Jones in which Dash introduces the rapper to influential acquaintances, like Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

I ain’t mad at Jay for putting Kanye through. Gotta show em the ropes somehow. Make him struggle, develop a hunger.
Something these new rappers don’t have.
Everybody goes through hell when they first get involved with something. Look at it as a uh… 90 probationary period! Lol…. u make it through that…then u get full benefits!
Dame’s gotta get a life!

Everytime i hear this guys name come up nowadays its about the same sorta ish….he needs to leave Jay alone
this is some bullsh**, look at how tight Jay and Kanye are, what is he really hoping to do by makin this up..and everyone see that video of Jimmy getting down to Jays songs in the club lool
this guy needs to just stop. He was respectable man but he is ruining himself gradually
Ja rule G O A T ..
the mirroir soon in the store .. buy it niggaz
kinda long…
The person who actually kicked everything off was Joe 3H from Capitol
Records. He wanted to sign me really bad.
[Joe:] “We gonna change the game, buddy.”
Dame was like, “yo you got a deal with Capitol,
okay man, just make sure it’s not wack.”
[Dame:] “you gotta make sure it’s not wack.”
Then one day I just went ahead and played it, I wanted to
play some songs, ‘cause you know Cam was in the room, Young Guru, and
Dame was in the room. So I played… actually it’s a song that you’ll
never hear, but maybe I might use it. So, it’s called ‘Wow.’
“I go to Jacob with 25 thou, you go with 25 hundred, wow
I got eleven plaques on my walls right now
You got your first gold single, damn, nigga, wow.”
Like the chorus went. Don’t bite that chorus, I might still use it. So
I play that song for him, and he’s like “oh shit”
[Dame:] “Oh shit it’s not even wack.”
“I ain’t gonna front, it’s kinda hot.”
[Dame:] “it’s actually kinda hot.”
Like they still weren’t looking at me
like a rapper. And I’m sure Dame figured, ‘like man. If he do a whole
album, if his raps is wack at least we can throw Cam on every song and
save the album, you know. So uh Dame took me into the office, and he’s
like “yo man, we, we on a brick, we on a brick”
[Dame:] “you don’t wanna catch a brick”
You gotta be under an umbrella, you’ll get rained on.
I told Hiphop and Hiphop was all, “oh, word?” Actually, even with
that I was still about to take the deal with Capitol ‘cause it was
already on the table and ’cause of my relationship with 3H. That, you
know, ’cause I told him I was gonna do it, and I’m a man of my word, I
was gonna roll with what I said I was gonna do. Then, you know, I’m
not gonna name no names, but people told me, “oh he’s just a producer
rapper” and told 3H that told the heads of the Capitol, and right—
the day I’m talking about, I planned out everything I was gonna do
man, I had picked out clothes, I already started booking studio
sessions, I started arranging my album, thinking of marketing schemes
man I was ready to go. And they had Mel call me, they said
“yo… Capitol pulled on the deal”
[Mel:] “Yo, Capitol pulled out on the deal.”
And, you know I told them that Rocafella was interested
and I don’t know if they thought that was just something I was saying
to gas them up to try to push the price up or whatever. I went up… I
called G, I said, “man, you think we could still get that deal with Rocafella?”
I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov
Made Hov say, “Ok so, make another Hov”
Niggaz wasn’t playing they day role
So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo
I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though
I put friends over business end of the day though
But when friends, business interests as they go
Ain’t nothing left to say though
I guess we forgot what we came fo’
Shoulda stayed in food and beverage
Too much flossing
Too much Sam Rothstein
I ain’t a bitch but I gotta divorce them
Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him
And I ain’t even want to be famous
Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
And I ain’t even know how it came to this
Except that fame is
The worst drug known to man
It’s stronger than, heroin
When you could look in the mirror like, “There I am”
And still not see, what you’ve become
I know I’m guilty of it too but, not like them
You lost one
And Dame Lost One
man dame, I used to think u were coo. this shit u got goin with jimmy aint goin nowhere
You gotta move on man. Imo, Jay should squash the shit with dame and rebuild the dynasty.
