Cam & Mase offered Dame $1 million for his share in Roc-A-Fella when they found out he was $800k in debt. Dame tried negotiating a handout instead of accepting it, his arrogance is his own downfall. “Pride in the way of help that’s why you ain’t asked yet Your ego, you should have a seat with him Tell him for the next few years you won’t be needing him” Cam was the last lifeline Dame had for anybody trying to help save him, his pride still got in the way. Nobody else is coming.

Finally somebody else speaks about it, I’ve been saying this for years. The fact that 50 was shot the day after he recorded a freestyle, dissing Ja and Preme, is extremely significant. Especially considering it was his direct response to the Hit Factory “stabbing” This the first time it’s ever been discussed publicly aside from me trying to share it through my socials, and Domination was actually there. Hopefully this will finally start to fill in the gap that every single “content creator” has failed to hit even once when telling 50’s story.

The MLB unfortunately did have to reject some audio from the game. “He’ll want to kill himself after this game” “I’ll tell ya Tim, this guy should be beaten to death with baseball bats” Anyways, why wouldn’t the game get licensing and approval?? It’s absolutely legendary.

Here’s two examples of what it ACTUALLY looks like to “pay homage” Taking someone’s bars word for word and people just giving it the “homage” pass, is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Jacking somebody’s bars word for word and using it to diss them isn’t “homage” and that’s happened plenty. The only time you can really pay homage while using someone’s bars word for word, is if there’s a callback to it or leading into it. Can also pay homage by interpolating and adding your own style to the sound and bars. Side note, just cuz somebody interpolates something doesn’t mean it’s paying homage, millions of times it’s been used to do the exact opposite. Lastly, just cuz someone might change a few words doesn’t give it a pass. There’s so many variables that go into these things and tbh some people just don’t care. Example is Drake on “Chicago Freestyle” using Em’s “Superman”, the only lyric change was “B*tch” to “Woman”. Eminem might love the record and appreciate it, but Drake is still 10000000% Swagger Jackin😂

50 got shot a few days after this dropped on a local mixtape, safe to say some people had enough. Crazy thing is they literally tried protecting him by cutting out words and an entire other verse, obviously didn’t work. This was the last verse he spit before his voice changed.

Mariah: “Next time we’ll just have our own private concert and I’ll put the dress on” Cam: “That sound about right”

Bobcats Gerald Wallace was something special man. One of the greatest and most underrated two way players of all time. His prime years being spent on the Bobcats overshadowed his career and legacy, but the streets will never forget. Only non Center to average over 2 blocks and 2 steals per game in a single season.

Looking back on it, this verse shows just how much the game has changed. In 1999, Cam was taking shots at a small percentage of rappers. Today, it would be seen as a diss track towards 90% of the game. “The way cats biting is despicable Pitiful, unoriginal, this sh*t is miserable I'm a businessman, I ain't tryin to be lyrical Damn, it's a miracle, thought y'all was veterans? Wish your flow was ill, huh? Mine was your medicine” “New York let’s stop bitin' and start writin' And start mountin, when the f*ck we start bouncin?” Somehow we got to where we are today and it’s just become something that’s expected.

Jay-Z voted NO to Kanye joining Roc A Fella and told him to stick to producing, Dame is the one who took a chance on him as a rapper and let him spit on “Champions” While Jay might’ve helped Kanye’s career, he was also the one trying to block it from ever happening in the first place. If it wasn’t for Dame, Kanye’s career would’ve never became what it was and that’s a fact. Jay didn’t want anyone outshining him, Kanye isn’t the only one who dealt with this either. Stop this BS narrative that Jay was the one who gave him a chance, he was hating until it benefited him
