Dame can be obnoxious but he supplied the money to record Reasonable Doubt. Dame is the one who got screwed by one of the so called business people (probably criminal)in the early days, Dame lost the money.

Jay Z’s pattern is this: he aint a street cat really. Others protect him and put their money into him (De Haven, Dash etc) then he ups and leaves. Jay Z really is a hoe – others dirty their hands, he benefits, he then discards them.
Sure he has a few Marcy cats around him but they’re bought. They knew him when he was young and he bought their muscle. That’s all. Jay never got the shit beaten out of him when he was young because he was always surrounded by useful men who were hard.

Dame is hard, Dame is gangsta in the sense of being a really tough, streetwise guy. So is Biggs Burke.
Jay no doubt married Beyonce for a no of reasons including her music contacts and their earning potential as a partnership. Cool.

But look at how he lives and judge if he really is streetwise. Bullshit. He made a little cash running around for Calvin Klein and others but he aint never really in the drug game.

He then got put on by Jaz O and learnt the music game, screwed Jaz O and joined forces with Dame.
If Beyonce isn’t useful he will dump her too.

Jay Z is a fake thru and thru. That’s why he doesn’t dare go anywhere without being chauffered in a Mayback with lots of protection. He’s being protected like a snitch because he has as many morals as one and he did foul by many people.

Look at the game he’s playing putting freemansonry symbols on the Rocawear line and playing around in videos with the signs. It may yet come and bite him in that fat fake ass of his.
