Jay-Z and Damon Dash may revive Roc-A-Fella Records

For the past six years, hip hop has dealt with the biggest split in the history of the genre. When Damon Dash left Roc-A-Fella Records, the entire industry turned heads. Initially, it was said that there was nothing personal regarding their split. But, when Jay-Z returned from retirement, he had some words for his former partner. Still, he never mentioned his "silent partner" by name until The Blueprint 3.

Damon Dash has always denied having hard feelings for Jay-Z. He said that they have made too much money for him to ever go against Jay. It was revealed, not so long ago, that Dash had reunited with Memphis Bleek two years ago. Last summer, Dame held numerous interviews, most of which dealt with the Roc. While he was no longer involved with the company, he said that it was a shame the way that it went down.

When he was asked about possibly purchasing and reviving the old label, Damon Dash said that he would not mind doing so. In 2008, Jay-Z made plans to leave the label. Before the end of the year, he did so when he created Roc Nation. The Blueprint 3 was the first album that Jay-Z did not release on the label that he created, Roc-A-Fella Records. With his recent change of heart, it is said that Jay-Z held a meeting with Damon Dash last night. During this dinner meeting, they spoke of possibly reuniting and relaunching the old Roc-A-Fella Records.

Following the meeting, Damon Dash said that he was finally getting back to the money. He went on to say that time heals all wounds. Having been six years since the last time that they did business with each other, Dash was ready to get back to business. In the time since Roc-A-Fella and his role with Def Jam, Jay-Z has gone from making hip hop deals to making major business moves. When Jay-Z was asked about his meeting with his former partner, all he did was smile and throw up the old "Roc-A-Fella Dynasty" sign. It is said that a deal is close to being done, but the only thing to work out is how to bring all of their current artists onto this new, revived, version of Roc-A-Fella Records.
