Dame Dash recently sat down with Hip Hop Motivation’s Kenyatta to discuss why he only does business in the United States.
“I like to make my personal stuff in America just because I’m into that,” Dame Dash says. “I wanna power the economy over in America and also when you make samples and do production in China, you like 12 hours away. If you send something over there and you want something done, you have to wait.
“I honestly don’t like doing business anywhere overseas because what happens if they rob you? The laws are different,” Dame Dash adds. “It’s going to be so hard. You’ve gotta get a lawyer out there, you gotta go out there to court and all that other kind of stuff. I just think it’s safer [in the United States]. I think the quality of the stuff is better when you do it in America.”
The former Roc-A-Fella Records co-owner later offered his own personal analogy as to what he believes business is.
“There is no such thing as easy business,” he says. “Business is war. This is what business is, and this is why I box: business is getting into a ring with a person you have no problem with and trying to kill them in that ring. And then after, whether you win or lose, you give them a pound, you walk off and you have good sportsmanship. That’s what business is. It’s a fucking war. It’s bloody, but at the end, you cool.”

This guy is an absolute has-been. Why does he still pop up in news? He has no impact whatsoever on business. Kids these days look up to Jay-Z, Mark Cuban, Dr. Dre. from a business stand point – not this clown who keeps making stupid comment after stupid comment.
You think Roc-A-Wear didn’t manufactur its goods in Asia? What is Dame Dash even doing these days? #washedup #irrelevant
Your comment is okay but you realize that your hashtags mean nothing here.
Kids look up to Jay for business sense?
Now you can “own” the Brooklyn Nets, even if the share in the nets cost less than a hot dog from the concession stand.
Right…so his ventures into sports management via Roc Nation haven’t been impressive at all. Signing. His new purchase of Tidal could prove to be revolutionary if he’s able to get artists on his side and pull their music off spottily, beats, etc.
Damon Dash currently has a net worth of -2 million dollars Jay z net worth = 560 billion dollars
I don’t know why Dame is struggling to stay relevant. Fall back in the shadows and make your moves. No one cares what you are doing, straight up.
Dash’s remarks sound like they come from someone who has no real business experience outside of the U.S. Sit the fuck down.
