Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon “Dame” Dash recently discussed the achievements Jay-Z has made, admitting he is proud to see his former affiliate enjoying success.
Reports Sohh:
Despite a publicized mid-2000′s split, Dame said he has nothing but love for Jay and even tipped his cap to Yeezy.
“[Did I make any mistakes?] Not at all, look at Jay-Z, look at everything, look at Kanye, every success they’ve had I’m proud of. Every time I see them on television, I know what I did. You know in life, there’s tragedies, everyone has them, so even through the tragedies, I was able to deal with my tragedies in a way that other people usually can’t. You understand what I’m saying? I’m doing what I want right now. I still feel crispy. Somebody told you [me and Jay are still cool?] I’m going to leave that one a mystery. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He’s doing well. I think he’s doing good, what he wants to be, he is and that’s what counts.” (Global Grind)
Dash also detailed the difference between their business and personal relationship.
“All we did is made a company together and sold the company and went and did other businesses. Why can’t two black people do that? Like, that happens all the time. Like, it was a business arrangement obviously. And we do two different kinds of businesses, right? The business we did, we made a lot of money. All good. You know what I’m saying? Maybe what you might want to ask is about the friendship, what happened with that, but that’s more personal. [Do I want to talk about that?] Not at all, I need [television personality] Dr. Phil for that one. [laughs] The interest in it is what tells me there could have been things I could have done different so it wouldn’t be like that. … There’s a lot of perceptions and prejudices, like hip-hop bullsh*t with it and I wish it wasn’t like that. The bottom line is we created one of the biggest movements independently of all time and that’s positive.” (Global Grind)
And now…the video.
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you sounds like Dame always thought they’d look back on their tears and laugh, but he never thought they’d look back on their laughter and cry.
