Again within the early 2000s when Dame Sprint signed The Diplomats to Roc-A-Fella Data, rumors started to swirl that there was a confrontation between Dipset and Roc-A-Fella members that triggered animosity within the camp (some even stated Juelz Santana slapped Jay-Z). And now, we would’ve gotten some readability as to what truly occurred—and allegedly, somebody certainly bought slapped.
In a latest interview for The Artwork of The Dialogue, former Dipset member Freekey Zekey revealed that the strain between Dipset and Roc-A-Fella stemmed from a mud up between Jim Jones (in fact) and Roc-A-Fella government, Lenny Santiago. Reminiscing concerning the incident that started the drama, Zekey stated issues went left when Dipset known as Lenny with a view to get some studio time on a Sunday to which Santiago responded, “Kiss my ass, it’s Sunday. What you talkin’ about?”
Evidently, that didn’t go over too effectively with Jones and firm. The subsequent day they went to the studio searching for retribution. Although he wasn’t round for the precise incident, Zekey says, “I’m fairly certain anyone bought slapped or one thing bodily occurred to Lenny S.” Seeking to kill no matter inner beef there may’ve been throughout the label, Dame Sprint’s answer was for Jim Jones and Lenny S. to easily battle mano-a-mano. He bought the 2 males in entrance of one another and stated, “Lenny S., go over there and battle Jim.’”
That basically does sound like one thing Dame Sprint would do, too (LOL).
The proposed battle didn’t truly occur although, as Lenny known as some reinforcements within the type of Memphis Bleek’s fam who rolled up in a jeep.
“That’s when it kinda.. the diamond began to… we discovered one thing arduous sufficient to begin to break the diamond. As a result of it was like, ‘Maintain on, that is Bleek’s individuals with Lenny S. and y’all n-ggas gonna experience?’ That’s the place the divide got here from. It was simply supposed to only be a Lenny S., Jim Jones battle however I assume Lenny S. known as anyone and who he known as was Bleek’s fam.”
May that be the explanation why Memphis Bleek as soon as stated that Dame Sprint threatened to kick him off the Roc-A-Fella label, which in flip led to Dame and Jay-Z’s turmoil?
No matter what precisely led to the demise of one of many best Hip-Hop labels the sport had ever seen, it’s disappointing to know that we may’ve gotten hella good music from Dipset and Roc-A-Fella artists throughout that interval in time just for them to beef internally over egos.
Such a disgrace.
