by JOKESTA

TUESDAY JANUARY 29, 2008

Hip Hop mogul Dame Dash has reached into the Roc-A-Fella archives once again to bring us more classic unreleased material.

A new mini-series chronicling the early days of Roc-A-Fella records has hit the web through Dash's social networking site, BlockSavvy.

The 10 part mini-series dubbed "Roc-A-Fella Family" follows Roc-A-Fella artists such as Jay Z, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, and Young Gunnaz through their daily grind in the industry and provides an inside look at the figures who once held up the titanic record label.

Oschino, Sparks, and Peedi Crack also appear in the series.

Real talk if you look up “fell off” in a dictionary you’d see a picture of dame dash holding tight to a ROC chain. I mean God daaaamn, he sound like a bitch that got dumped years ago & still is trying hard to tell people of how her relationship was, how it ended & how it wasn’t her fault.
I hate old ass niggaz that live in the past, always starting a story like this “back when…” or “back then…” Nigga wake the fuck up, The roc is over, Jay got it now & he’s fucking it up….matter of fact word is he dropped every body from that label. The ROC is a has been, Move the fuck on

WOW!! Not really. Has it got to the point, that to remain relevant in Hip Hop you drag your former homies name through mud?? Dame this shit makin you look real suspect right now. This is the shit that turns new, potential fans of hip-hop(which it needs)off to it. Thats just bad business, airing out old shit on video.
