Dame Dash is playing PR games by trying to divert attention from stories about his financial woes. Dash is telling more tales about his estranged relationship with Jay-Z, claiming that Jay and Kanye had beef over the Roc-A-Fella chain.

From the Daily News:

Dash claims the simmering beef dates back to a 2003 Chicago concert, where the then-up-and-coming Kanye expected ruling Roc-A-Fella artist Jay to “knight” him by presenting him with a gleaming chain.
But, according to Dash, Jay didn’t want to fork over the chain.

“This n- [Kanye ] was like, ‘Wow. [Jay-Z] ain’t going to give me the chain,’” Dash alleges in December’s Complex magazine. “I had to take off my chain and give it to him, and I was heated. I had the real canary diamonds. That s- cost $40,000! I told Kanye, ‘Yo, you got to give that back when we get off this stage!’”

On another note, Dame owes $2.1 million to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. I wonder if he’s considered asking either Jay or ‘Ye for loan.

Good to see DJ AM back on the grind after that horrible plane crash.

“You can go see Weezy for the wordplay, Jeezy for the bird play, Kanyeezy for diversity, and me for controversy.”

T.I.’s pulling out all the stops to ensure Paper Trail’s success. How the hell did he manage to fit all those egos on one song and still drop the strongest verse?

I’m all Glastonburied out this weekend, but this is definitely worth your time.

I’ll add more videos as they come. Thanks to everyone who emailed me so far.
