In this excerpt, there’s more of the boardroom meeting and footage from afterwards when he learns about Jay’s performance at the 2003 Mixshow Power Summit in Puerto Rico.

Dame: I bet you they’re staging this beef with us. Trust me.
Bobby Dash: You know about that Scarface party out in Puerto Rico?
Dame: Who? Jay? No.
Bobby Dash: Yeah, he’s gonna be out there for that.
Dame: Jay’s performing for that?
Bobby Dash: I don’t know if he’s out there for that or if he’s performing. [Second later] He’s performing.
Dame: You can stop taping.

Listen to his emotion when he says to stop taping…

Then the clip jumps to the actual performance in Sept. 2003. Miss Info wrote that according to insiders, Dame scoffed at Jay’s “dressed up appearance” when he heard about it afterwards. That was the first appearance of the grown man look.

Shouts to Choke No Joke (DVD out now) & MissInfo.

I don’t mind rock/rap hybrid records like Spit, but I can’t take a whole album of those. I hope that’s not what he means by rap records. There better be some real rap records on there.

It’s a Lil Wayne album. It’s what you expect from Lil Wayne, where he’s at creatively.

“It’s almost like where Outkast was when they made Aquemini,” he continued. “It’s still a rap album, but was it really a rap album compared to all the other rap albums at that time? André Benjamin was evolving artistically to where he’s at now — Wayne is doing the same thing, and he’s not afraid to show you his growth. It’s one thing we respect about him, and we feel it’s something that everybody else should respect about him … hes shows no fear. To put himself out there, you’re watching someone as they progress in their career.

“He paid his dues, he put out a million mixtapes and he put out classic albums … Rebirth is going to be another classic album,” he added.
