Before the untimely demise of Roc-A-Fella Records, Young Chris was predicted as the future of the label. The way things looked, at the time, Jay-Z would likely stop recording albums and Kanye West would probably leave for a bigger label. In due time, all of this happened.

Three years have passed since Young Chris and the team were a part of the same label. During this period, some of the former members have remained loyal. However, some have gone completely against Jay-Z. But, in the end, Jay-Z remains unfazed by this.

Jay-Z and Kanye West have remained close after the breakup of the crew. West has focused more on his G.O.O.D. Music and the media has been all over Jay-Z's Roc Nation. Both are dominant forces in the rap game and they decided to team up. The two rappers, finally equals, have decided to release an album together, Watch the Throne.

Several rappers have given their opinion on the album, now including Young Chris. Yesterday, Young Chris talked about the album.

Young Chris was among the many rappers upset when Jay-Z and Dame Dash split up. Over the years, the two had been a united front and they helped many people become successful. Young Chris looked to both men for inspiration. But, when it was time to choose, he chose Jay-Z.

At the time, the feud was very high profile. As a result, Dame Dash had negative things to say about the entire Roc-A-Fella camp. It still did not mean that the remaining guys did not have love for their other CEO. Even years after the split, some remains of the beef still exist.

Recently, Young Chris spoke about the way things used to be with the old crew. He compared the Roc to the 1996 Chicago Bulls because they all had rings. Chris said Jay-Z helped him in many ways, but he did not give as much, he taught more. But, Dame Dash gave a lot to Young Chris and he said that Dame influenced him more than anyone during that period of time.
