Interesting read on Damon Dash
OK this picture is kind of a bigger deal than the content of this post. Of course it’s Damon Dash, me and Kanye, but this is the first time I met Kanye, right when he asked me to come on tour with him. Dame was actually trying to get me to DJ for Samantha Ronson but Kanye snatched me. This picture has never appeared online. Straight out the shoebox. (May, 2004)
Anyway, the reason for this post is I wanted to link an article on Damon Dash written by this guy Combat Jack. Not sure who he is, he says he “repped” Dame in the mid-90′s. Just by coincidence there’s also that video that surfaced today of Dame spazzing out… but the article is much more interesting. Watching a guy spazz is pretty one-dimensional. I actually have a lot of respect for Dame and am a bit fascinated with the early days of Roc-A-Fella since I run a label myself. So, read up!
Shout out to DJ Soul for the twitter referral.

Holy shit, you’re so attractive. This is a big deal.

Combat Jack aka. “Reggie Ossé is the Vice President of Audio/Music DVD at MTV Networks. He began his career in the entertainment law arena as an attorney in the Business and Legal Affairs department at Def Jam Records, quickly learning the intricacies of recording, publishing, management and production agreements. A graduate of Cornell University and Georgetown University Law Center, Reggie is also a member of the New York State Bar. Reggie currently lives in Brooklyn New York with his wife and three sons.”
Three sons and a beautiful daughter. He’s no long the VP at MTV, but he’s still an ill attorney and an even iller writer.
Pretty good read but the picture is much better…you look a lil shook in the pic and Dame is giving the “Peace Outtie”…Hilarious…
You are so freakin’ awesome I can’t stand it. Come to Richmond,VA
I think you shouldve done the very top button up on your polo. That would have made this photo perfect.
