In a visit to Talib Kweli’s podcast, Jim Jones spoke about the beef between Jay-Z and Dash Dash and the end of Roc-A-Fella Records.
“When we first got there, it was a great thing, okay? It made sense. Everybody was on the same page […] That’s a family-oriented situation when we first got there. But we have nothing to do with what Jay and Dame got going on.”
He continued: “Their controversy and their separation led to a lot of the artists taking sides, which was kind of fucked up. I was never silent as a Roc-A-Fella artist, but I had to roll with what Cam was doing. It was a whole f-cked up situation. And this is something that, looking back, I think could have been avoided. That sh-t was just some simple shit that could have been avoided, you know what I mean?”
Jim Jones went on to explain the label’s impact on music and on the East Coast.
Y’all think Jay and Dame could have worked things out?
