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.
