It has been many years since the Roc-A-Fella Records trio of Jay-Z, Kareem "Biggs" Burke, and Damon Dash have gone their separate ways. Though each has gone on to have successful individual ventures, tensions between Dash and Jay-Z remain high.
Recently, Dash appeared on The GAUDS Show podcast and spoke of his intent to "take back" the label. He asserted that he was still the CEO of Roc-A-Fella Inc. and that he was uninterested in paperwork to prove it. He also commented on what he believes to be the truth of Jay-Z's success, saying, “If I listened to them, there would be no Jay-Z. He wasn’t gon’ do it. There would be no rapping Jay-Z if it wasn’t for me 100,000 percent. He wasn’t gonna do what I did to make sure he got heard. He was hustling. He wasn’t gonna put a record out by himself and create a record company. He could rap, but he didn’t know business. I taught him business.”
Jay-Z has not responded to Dash's remarks, as is typical for him. But no matter the outcome of the feud between the two, one thing is clear: Roc-A-Fella is here to stay. The label has been dormant for quite some time, but Dash insists it's not dead, he just took a "vacation." Roc-A-Fella Inc., despite the beef between its two co-founders, will remain in business.
