50 Cent looks back at Dame Dash disrespecting his deal with Eminem and Dr. Dre.
50 Cent recently made an appearance on Gillie Da Kid and Wallo‘s Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, on which he recalled Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash’s unimpressed reaction to his $1 million label deal with Eminem and Dr. Dre in 2002.
“The only person that pointed out that a million dollars was no money was Damon Dash, and he has no money now,” reveals Fif.
“That ain’t no money. After you get a watch, a chain, you look out for the homies and you do this, that and the third… it’s nothing,” he recalled Dame Dash words in the interview.
“And I was like, ‘Ni–a, I’m from 134th Street. A million dollars is a lot of money.’ I’m thinking I hit the lotto… How you gonna say it’s no money? I just never forgot that because of how it felt.”
50 Cent was discovered by Eminem following his 2002 mixtape “Guess Who’s Back?”, and signed to his label Shady Records, an imprint of Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. After signing the deal, 50 Cent went on to drop “Get Rich or Die Tryin” album in 2002, which is one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
