    They say Dame was using company money to start other ventures without his partners. That’s a big problem. They say Dame was using the Company account like it was his personal. If you listen to the end of the black album on the last track, Jay Z called out Dame and said “Dame, remember when you was keeping all the books, you had that fucked up ass handwriting and shit, your accounting was crazy wrong, but we figured it out”. Jay just sat back and played chess, he was always paying attention, just not acting like he was.

      Quoted wrong Hov didn’t say this bruh. His exact words at the end of “My 1st Song” are as follows
      Dame, whattup! Robbing the bank
      Niggas thought we was crazy, man, remember uhh
      You had that fucked up ass handwriting
      You was writing all the numbers that we was spending down
      For the videos we was doing ourselves
      (Ski, whattup? Original Flavor in the house)
      Your accounting was crazy wrong and shit
      But we still put it together
      This is him rifting and reminiscing on the song’s outro which makes sense since the Black Album was supposed to be his retirement from rap.

    Am I the only one that always thought Jay just flat-out snaked & screwed Dame over out of pure greed & selfishness? Maybe cuz I was like 4yrs old when all this happened? But yo after watching this...Dame has/had a massive inferiority complex e.g. his insatiable desire to flaunt weath & "a$$hole" demeanor. Real talk, I wouldn't wanna be in business w that dude either. And counting the 2000s lawsuit settlement, Dame got approx 40-45mil in late-1990s money (inflation adjusted probably 60-70min in 2022 money), PLUS owning (most likely, seems like) at least 50% of the masters to Reasonable Doubt -- which is STILL Hov's most classic album even 26 years and 10+ albums later. Forgive me if I don't shed any tears for Dame's woes and misfortunes. Jay owes him nothing & Dame maybe didn't receive the *full* buyout value commensurate to his ownership stake & intellectual property ... but I'd say he got at least 60-70% of it. And that's just business right there, that shit happens every day across the globe- someone getting shorted 20-25% based on poor negotiation or lack of functional leverage or even just sheer stupidity/greed. Long story short, this vid completely switched this preconceived idea I had of the situation.
    Honestly sounded like Jay was just done w him, and not even inna "im goin screw you over n take everything" kinda way... moreso inna "Yo I can't even talk to this MF anymore. Call the lawyers, let's figure out what we gotta do & how we gotta split this pie up, and let's get it done and gtfoh & away from this arrogant lunatic.. and If Dame call looking for me, just tell him I'm in London or some sh*t" kinda vibe

    This video was actually Damn near perfect!!! I've posted & said this numerous times, Dame Dash is 50/50. 50% of what he says is Powerful & Motivational the other 50% is Garbage!!! All the people giving this a thumbs down are the people who don't believe fire is hot or water is wet. Figure out how to see or get your hands on "International Grizzly". It's a documentary that Dame had Choke No Joke shoot & direct (which Choke NEVER got paid for, which is why he's been dissing Dame for over 10 year's now). The DVD is basically 2 part's the 1st 80% is Dame & Biggs blowing tons of Roc - A-Fella $$$ all over Europe with a bunch of flunkies they took with them. Dame claims they are in Europe to expand the Roc-A-Fella & Rocawear brand. You can tell Jay is about to leave because they get a call about Jay recording Me & My Girlfriend with Beyonce they knew nothing about. Later after the break up Dame refuses to mention Rocawear at all & is wearing his "CEO" clothing line. Jay made the right BU$INE$$ move & even Biggs has NO problem with Jay & done business with him since he came home!!!!
