In fact, Dame Dash said that if he saw a man pour champagne on a woman now, he would be offended. There were multiple Jay-Z videos in which Dame could be seen pouring some form of liquor on various women. But, now that he is nearing 40 years old, he has slowed his lifestyle down quite a bit. Now, Dash is all about reclaiming what was his.
Around the time Jay-Z was preparing to release The Blueprint 3, Dame Dash returned to the spotlight. For years, Dash had bee hidden in the background while former Roc-A-Fella members talked about their time on the label. As many already know, Jay-Z left the label he created with Dash in favor of Roc Nation in 2008. With Jay-Z gone, such artists as Memphis Bleek would also leave the label. Because there were no more artists on the label, Roc-A-Fella Records was irrelevant by the time The Blueprint 3 was released.
Dame Dash spoke on the status of the label and he said that it was a shame that Jay-Z allowed the label to fall apart the way that it did. With the way that Dame was talking, it appeared as if he had plans of reviving the label. In fact, Hip Hop Vibe even posted an article about Dash possibly coming and returning the label to past prominence. Despite the possibility, no official announcement was made. However, last month, Dash was spotted with Jay-Z and it was said that they had discussed reviving the Roc. Now, two weeks later, it appears as if Roc-A-Fella Records is on the way back.
Since there was no one signed to the label, the only thing that had to be done was for Dash to buy the name from under Def Jam. He said that when Jay-Z left Def Jam, he gave up any rights to the name. The only thing that Dame Dash could get from his feud with Jay was that he did not want him to be a part of Roc-A-Fella Records. Now, Jay-Z's movement is Roc Nation, so Dame Dash decided to claim what was rightfully his to begin with. The first artist signed to the new Roc-A-Fella Records is Curren$y and his album, Pilot Talk. He re-negotiated with Def Jam and they will remain the distributor of Roc-A-Fella.
