This right here proves once and for all who really ran and was the brains behind The Roc (hint: it wasn't Jay-Z). This show follows Dame around for 24 hours as he does interviews with New York Daily, argues on the phone with execs so his Rocafella producers don't get jerked, meets with Maxim Magazine, works out at the gym, makes the rounds at Rocawear, spends time with his kids, has his daily staff meeting and much more. This is what a real CEO does and a must see for anybody interested in business or just wanting motivation.
This is a perfect companion piece to Choke No Joke's "Last Days Of The Roc" because this was actually filmed a day or two before the infamous Dame vs. Def Jam Black Album meeting where Dame found out Def Jam & Jay-Z were cutting him out of everything

Where did all that arrogance get him? Everyone thinks Dame is a genius but in reality Jay was the genius behind close doors and at the end of the day Jay left with EVERYTHING !!
ReplyDeleteNah Dame is the one who is responsible for building the Rocafella brand. Jay is a great rapper but he's really only good at promoting himself.
ReplyDeletejay is a snake no loyalty
ReplyDeleteWhen Jay and Dame own the roc it was successful, but when jay took over... it crumble very quickly.The only successful artist afterward which jay had was kanye who was signed by none other than dame. The artists that jay so happen to sign when prez of def jam were scouted by def jam exes but since he was president of the company,he was the one who was given the credit.Jay uses his name as credibity to any company he owns, he does'nt do the daytoday tasks like Dame does to make a company succeed.
ReplyDeleteDame was a double edged sword. He was a fucking ball breaker in business which is EXACTLY what you want on your team. Get down with the ROC or get the fuck down mentality. On the other hand he started to live a REALLY expensive lifestyle and was throwing money at trash business ideas he didn't even have. At the end of the day the ROC may have broken up anyway but Dame could have avoided alot by staying a little more humble.
ReplyDeleteYou mad bro? My comment has nothing to do with his wealth or success. Dame was a ruthless dude when he was in the game, Jay knew this and look at the outcome. I didn't say anything about what he did when he was on top, if you actually read the comment you would get what I mean and take Dames dick out your mouth. Your reply was nothing but a little kid "in ya moms basement playing video games and tuggin Dames meat!
ReplyDeleteDamn you got something against damon dash or something? Where he it? Where are you? In ya moms bassment playing video games and tugging your meat? He already made his mark and got nothing else to prove no matter wealthy or broke he is. He lived mulitple lives while ya still on ya first. Anyone should want this guy on ya team cause he go to war. Everybody on roc played they part. Maybe if you put in work then you could like damon.
ReplyDeleteI know Dame built The Roc and branding and marketing but where is he now is all I'm saying. Doesn't matter who built what, who is the genius with it all? Jay not Dame!!
