Dame Dash isn’t holding back his thoughts about JAY-Z’s marketing at Roc-A-Fella. He claims Jay was the “worst marketer of all time,” highlighting JAY-Z’s hesitation to pitch in with new artists at the label.
Dash points out that JAY-Z rarely featured on singles with other Roc-A-Fella artists, a sentiment echoed by former A&R Big Face Gary. Gary recalls questioning Jay about not lending his voice to other artists’ records, with Jay defending his stance as an artist prioritizing his work.
Dash praises Kanye West and Cam’ron for their marketing efforts, contrasting them with JAY-Z. He felt they were more inclined to uplift their Roc-A-Fella peers, thereby being more effective marketers in his eyes.
Adding fuel to their contentious relationship, Dash referenced an old video where he accused JAY-Z of being duplicitous, benefiting financially from both his artist contract and the label’s earnings. Dash even quips about not wanting to “make another Hov” after launching other successful careers.
Legal battles ensue as the duo disputes ownership stakes in the label, particularly around the “Reasonable Doubt” album. Dash’s shares are up for auction, primarily to settle his $10 million debt. Meanwhile, JAY-Z argues about the rights reverting back to him, intensifying the already heated auction.
Dash accuses JAY-Z of manipulating the situation to devalue the auctioned shares, further straining any possibility of resolving their differences.
The saga between Dame Dash and JAY-Z continues to unfold with no signs of resolution.
