"We got Juelz [Santana] ... Young Gunz ... Rell, Jimmy Jones, Kanye West, Beanie
[Sigel]," Biggs added of the Beyond a Reasonable Doubt collection.
"At the time, I was looking for platforms to showcase the artists," Dash
chimed in. "This was my [mental] state three, four years ago. I was always
looking for projects to showcase the artists and move as a team. We had the
talent. Cam'ron did a record too. Everybody did renditions of Jay songs. Some
from Reasonable Doubt, some from other records."
“It’s a piece of us. It’s the only thing we still own that has anything to
do with Roc-A-Fella,” he continued. “So back then, and being a part of the DNA
of Roc-A-Fella, I was always trying to figure out a way to celebrate it. I knew
the 10th anniversary was coming up. I said, ‘Let’s do an album with all the
relevant artists doing a rendition of Jay records.’ But Jay said he didn’t like
it, so we scrapped it. … You know what it was, he said the best record was
Jimmy’s, so he didn’t want to put it out."
You can find the whole album at BlockSavvy. Dame is trying as hard as he can to stay relevant and it's hard. But I respect him and hope he can make a rebound, him and Irv Gotti are basically in the same position.
