Dame Dash has been getting quite wild in interviews lately. While talking to The Art Of Dialogue, Dash made a bold claim about JAY-Z and his seminal Reasonable Doubt.
What Did Dame Dash Say About Reasonable Doubt?
Dash started by going on a long rant why Kanye had a better discography than JAY-Z. He also talked about Ye’s influence on the culture today, saying no one sounds or dresses like JAY.
But then Dash went as far as discrediting JAY’s classic albums, specifically, Reasonable Doubt.
“Why you think I gave [the album] away?,” Dash said. “Nobody made no money off that s*** barely went gold. Nobody gives a f*** about Reasonable Doubt other than people that were there…Ask some kid about reasonable doubt. They’ll be like, ‘Nobody cares about JAY-Z as a rapper. No, no kid gives a about JAY-Z at all. They not jacking his hairstyle, his gear. No one’s with JAY-Z. No one’s listening to them raps, none of that s***. When’s the last time this n**** made a record?” He’s old man. Why should he be making records?”
Dash also went on to hypothesize what led to JAY’s supposed cultural down fall…his fashion.
“I’mma tell you what killed JAY-Z,” Dash said. Them dress shirts. That put him out of business. He wasn’t fly after that. He couldn’t recover.”
Dash has been doing many interviews and trying to keep himself relevant recently with his unc off feud with Cam’Ron.

What Has JAY-Z Been Up To?
Recently, JAY-Z sat down with the New York Times for their Greatest Songwriters list and opened up about who he thinks is one of the best.
While talking about “Brooklyn’s Finest,” he mentioned how good Biggie’s infamous 2Pac diss is (“If Faith had twins, she’d probably have 2Pacs”), leading to him talking more about Biggie’s genius.
“He was one of those ones who ain’t run from controversy, whether it made him look bad or not,” JAY-Z said. “Most people ego wouldn’t allow them to say [that line]. It was one of the endearing qualities he had as a writer.”
HOV then gave another example of what made Biggie great by using the famous “Black and ugly as ever, however,” line off “One More Chance.”
“One word was so powerful,” JAY-Z said. “[It’s] ‘however.’ Anything he said after that was gonna be amazing. Those are little tricks as a writer that I’m tryna to accomplish. Just a word that changes the framing of the thought, in a powerful way, in the shortest amount of time, cause that’s hard to do.”
