*Dame Dash dropped by Real 92.3 for an interview with Big Boy, chopping it up about his powers moves, business model and his relationship with JAY-Z, whom he co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records with back in the 90s, until differences forced them to part ways after they fell out over a decade ago.
“We have fundamental differences. I’m about making other people famous and rich and equal, that’s what I wanted with Roc-A-Fella,” Dame says at the 22:40 mark of the clip above, via Complex. “And he wanted to be the boss and have people work for him for 25 years straight, which is what happened. I actually feel sorry for my fallen angels, because i’ve taught people to share. […] I make kings, I don’t make slaves.”

When pressed further about the situation with, Dash adds, “I don’t wanna talk about JAY-Z. You know why it’s not fair? ‘Cause he doesn’t talk about it.” He continued, “No matter what, I feel he robbed me. Period. And no matter what, I’m always gonna feel that way. If I hit somebody with some work and they run off, I forgive it. It don’t bother me, but if you asked me about that person, I’m like, ‘Nah, he ran off.'”
He then noted the messy way JAY treated their business relationship: “The way he did me was dirty, the way he did Biggs was dirty…” he continues. “He went [and] told L.A. Reid, ‘I want Roc-A-Fella, I don’t want Dame and Biggs down…’ And we was like, ‘Damn, out of left.’ When I had the conversations yeah I wanna look like a boss, I can’t look like a boss around him. I thought that was dirty. The shit he did the Roc with? That was dirty. When he said he wasn’t gonna be a part of it while I was selling it devalued it and then, you know, I stepped away from it because I needed to go do my own thing. And then all of a sudden they go and do a big deal like that? That was dirty.”
During the interview, Dash also confirmed that he’s still in regular contact with Kanye West. He also shared what he saw in the rapper during Ye’s early years as an artist. “He is a disrupter, a world-shaker, but he’s also respectful to the people that deserve it,” he says at 11:40.
