Jay Z and Damon “Dame” Dash made a fortune together in the 1990s and early 2000s. The Brooklyn-meets-Harlem, New York business partnership made Roc-A-Fella Records and Roc-A-Wear clothing household names (with third partner Kareem “Biggs” Burke). The pair was responsible for movies, international touring, liquor, as well as establishing the musical careers of Kanye West, Beanie Sigel and Juelz Santana.
While Roc-A-Fella remained in tact, Jay Z departed following 2003’s The Black Album to become president of Def Jam Records during a recording hiatus. In the close to a decade since, the two have not appeared together or retained a public business relationship.
That changed last night, when Jay Z (now head of Roc Nation) and Dame (head of DD172/BluRoc Records) were photographed together at mutual friend Chaka’s birthday party. The photos were posted to Instagram.
Recently, Jay Z, who had been largely silent about his onetime manager and partner, opened up about the “love” he felt for the man he shared offices with for years.
That’s a great moment. Even if they don’t do busy together it’s still great to see these two reconnect. Hopefully, Jay & Beans can squash their differences when he comes home!
Yea that would be much more momentous for hip hop but I don’t see it happening, Beans is a no bullshit kinda dude and theres a lot of animosity still there. But who knows, theres an air of unity in hip hop lately and maybe prison will change things but I don’t see it. I’d pay big bucks to see the two of them with Free and Bleek on the same stage again… One of the best teams ever assembled
good looks
hov wearing his button up like an essay
Dame Dash looking old
Dame is looking very old and depressing. Probably he sucked Hova’s dick for a job.
congratulations to you for thinking about it enough to type and submit

Desperate Dash stealing pieces of birthday cake and trying to sell it outside Safeway.

Vons?
For a 80’s child and kid of the 90’s this is gold. 2 dominant bothers who ruled the 90’s setting there issues aside for a moment of peace. Jay knew this would be viral if not he would have not took the picture im sure. Jay already said the love is still there. Jay my dude give fuck what you hating as niggas say.
They from that area were real men do real things. Made men don’t make statment, about the other man in public. Now you got dudes out here with Skirts on. Now dude can barely use the English language when speaking are considered gangsta because they hold a choppa on the IG page. Loudest in the crowd is the weakest. These dudes hashed out thing like Nas and Jay did…Its nothing.
tru dat these young boys dont nothing about that!1
Im broke as fuck!!!!
… and so is the dude that posted the comment using “dame dash”
Ja Rule just acquired the Lakers & Fox News!!!!!!!!!
I’m not interested or impressed. deze niggaz aint true hip hop anymore. Lil Wayne crafted real hip hop wit his talent. Tha Carter II is considered as da greatest hip hop album of all time. it was a progressive hip hop opera. nobody can outdo Weezy. YMCMB for life. swag

“Because he’s not wearing an obnoxious chain? Or because he’s wearing a plain white t-shirt?”
Everybody else around him looks like their pockets are at least stable. Who wears a white t- shirt to any type of function, especially one where pictures will be taken? Maybe you don’t give a shit how you look, but most people do.
If you knew anything about Dash, you’d know the guy is never out of a white tee. Rich or poor.
There are Safeways in NY actually. Try Woodside or The Bronx dumb fuck.
The joke was corny bro, get over it.
Okay I apologize in advance. I got no other route for exposure right now so i’m
trolling you fine people here at hiphopdx. Just take 4 minutes to listen to my remix

I wonder how much Dame is worth now? I remember when he divorced from his wife that she didn’t even ask for child or spousal support. I mean thats what women do when they divorce “RICH” men. Either she is an independent woman or she knew she couldn’t get nothing out of Dame. I also remember in one of the State Property movies Dame(playing himself) said that he wanted to become a quarter of a trillionaire one day. LMFAO!!
…Time heals all wounds.
duhh.. who didn’t see this coming.. from dame comments to jay responding.. im pretty sure everything that’s happening is because of jay.. he is in a different place in his life. everything is good. hes rich. he has a beautiful wife and daughter. i mean he extended his hand to nas when they were beefing at one point. nas on stage rocking with him. look at him and timbo re uniting to do the his grail album that just came out. jay knew dame was going to be there. he been dodging this man for all these years. now all of a sudden he shows up at the same place dame is.. no coincidence here. jay once again manning up and fixing these broken bridges.. kudos to u man… its a beautiful thing to see these two dudes together.. feel like old times.. now if we can get game and fif bak lol never mind about that lol
Cosign everything but the last line about 50 and Game lol good shit bro.
Hov put on the team
wack… I wanna see Cam and Dame doing they thing…Fuk that camel!
chaka can still get it ……………….
really looks like jay is leaving dame hangin in the top pic

Welcome home to Dame
Let’s get back to this dinero
“Everybody else around him looks like their pockets are at least stable. Who wears a white t- shirt to any type of function, especially one where pictures will be taken? Maybe you don’t give a shit how you look, but most people do.”
^ lol at this clown
So what you wear tells people what you have in your pocket? That statement is so inane, you really just let people know how much of a douche and wannabe you really are but we see you always quoting some celebs net worth, attaching yourself to someone’s “success”, stretching you limited knowledge to imply omnipotence. You’re overcompensating to cover your own failures and insecurities. It’s blatant, you don’t live a marvelous life.
Someone living a marvelous life wouldn’t over-dress for a young girl’s party, they would dress down and let HER shine for HER day, like Jay AND Dame, and just enjoy hanging around old friends. Quote-Man would overspend his limit on the credit card thinking “I gotta look good for paparazzi”, overstating his own self-importance.
To add insult to injury, many of you were whining about Kanye selling a $120 white TEE, but in this scenario, “a white t”? If you were REALLY living a marvelous life, you would KNOW there are quite expensive WHITE TEES out there. Clown.
Bitch boy, I have more money in my cup holder than you do in the bank. Listen to your groupie ass talking like you know Dame Dash and Jay Z. Real solid friends those two are lol Jay doesn’t even want to shake his hand. It was a photo op that Dash clearly wasn’t dressed or ready for. He saw Jay again and his knees got weak. Enough about the obvious. I got you so shook you probably recite my posts in your sleep lol Little faggot. I own you.
TBH, I do not see where Jay-z is thrilled to see Dame in the pictures. The first one he has his arm around the girl, look like he caught her off guard bc he did not want to hug Dame. The last one Dame is it doesn’t look like his hands will be coming up to acknowledge Dames hand. SMH, I know you guys have had that moment when you see someone you just hate their ways or you all just not cool, but you act cordial anyway. You smile but listen to them talk,but do not be fake about where you stand.
8 REASONS WHY LIL WAYNE IS A FAG and a punk
1. He kissed birdman
2. Lil wayne wears leggings
3. he has no flow, terrible lyrics
4. His voice sounds like a screeching cat or something and to make it worse he puts auto tune on top of it
5. Hes an Industry Whore
6. Hes a Poser
7.Too Many Drugs (cough syrup)
8.Ignorant Audience
