Dame Dash and Biggs Release "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" Digital Mixtape

Dame Dash has all but exited the music industry, but the Hip-Hop tycoon is releasing a promotional mixtape that pays homage to Reasonable Doubt, the seminal album from former business partner Jay-Z.


Beyond Reasonable Doubt is a series of songs that were recorded three or four years ago with artists that were signed to a pre-breakup Roc-A-Fella Records.


“A couple of years back, because Reasonable Doubt was so endearing to us, and it was like the only thing that me and Biggs [the other previous co-owner of Roc-A-Fella Records] and Jay really owned 100%, we always wanted to celebrate it,” Dash told AllHipHip.com. “I thought it would be good to put out something where we paid tribute to the records that were on Reasonable Doubt and other records, and we called it Beyond Reasonable Doubt, through the other artists. And also give the artists a platform to showcase their skills too.”


Kareem “Biggs” Burke, who continues to work with Dash said that the 10-track promotional project would also include a bonus track with Jay-Z as well. That song is called “For The Love of My N***as” and it features Oschino & Sparks.


Other artists on the mixtape include Beanie Sigel, Juelz Santana, Kanye West, Nicole Ray, Memphis Bleek and singers Rell, Denim and others who do their own renditions of songs on Jay-Z’s classic album.


Dash and Biggs deny that they were attempting to cash in on the Jay-Z name as the mogul/rapper was set to release his 10th album, American Gangster.


“This is how we’re giving back to the people,” Biggs said.


Concurring, Dash said, “We ain’t making no money off it. It’s not for a sale. It’s for a listen. It’s for a gander.”


Listeners can hear six leaked records on AllHipHop.com, by clicking here. The entire promotional mixtape is available on blocksavvy.com.


As for their relationship with their former business partner, Biggs says there is none.


“I think Kanye summed it up the best [in ‘Big Brother’ from Graduation],” he concluded.


In 2004, Jay-Z, Damon Dash and Biggs sold their remaining 50 percent stake of Roc-A-Fella Records to Island Def Jam, effectively dissolving their 10-year business relationship.


Biggs, Dame and Jay are all co-owners of the Reasonable Doubt album.

not interested in shit dame has anything to do with.  though this album may be good, I wouldn't spend a dime on it.  and here we go with another low-budget corny-ass tv show starring this dude.  Face it Dame, Jay-Z was the blood in your veins and the access to big deals for big paper.  Without Jay Dame is pretty much nothing and if you don't believe me ask yourself what has he done that has been big since Jay deaded their dealings??  Nothin'!!!!!!!!!

Yea I'm having a hard time believing that this is about "givin' back to the people." We don't hear from Dame for like a year then as soon as Jay-Z is coming out with his album...Dame decides to get all "for the people" and releases this album. I'll still take a listen and I'm sure it will be good but he should just be straightforward...nothing wrong with that.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT, AINT NOBODY KNOCKIN HIS HUSLTE OR HATIN OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. HE WOULD BE MORE SUCCESSFUL JUST 2 GO AHEAD PACKAGE IT UP AND RELEASE IT ON DDMG, AND GET HIS SCRATCH. OBVIOUSLY THE MAN OWNS THE RIGHTS TO THE SHIT SO WHY WASTE EVERBODIES TIME WITH THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT GIVING BACK AND GO TO MY WEBSITE, JUST PUT THE SHIT OUT. MOST GROWN FOLKS WOULD RATHER JUST DOWNLOAD OR BUY IT. NOT HAVE TO GO ONTO A SITE AND PLAY A BUNCH OF GAMES.

YOU MUST NOT KNOW WHA HUSLTIN IS. HOW OLD ARE YOU?  IM SURE YOUR SITTING IN FRONT OF YOUR MOMMYS COMPUTER WEARING YOUR CEO'S WHITH YOUR MATCHING CEO SWEATSUIT, WITH YOUR CEO BASEBALL HAT TIPPED TO THE SIDE.

GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK KID YOU GOT A QUIZ IN PRE-ALGEBRA 2MORROW.  AND THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR GROWN FOLKS TALKIN SHUT THE FUCK UP YA HEAR?!

Fuck Dame...I never did like that big-headed ass nigga. He aint spit now! He was livin it up and dancin all in video's tryin to be play Puffy n shit! He makes money, but no where near what he did when he was with Jay. I dont even recall this loud mouth fuck niggaz name...oh yeah, Dame! Dame is is a lame and a C class hip hop nobody thats still livin off Reasonable Doubt. It sorta reminds me of these lyrics Biggie spit:


You can be the shit, flash the fattest five
Have the biggest dick, but when your shell get hit
You ain't worth spit, just a memory
Remember he, used to push the champagne Range (I remember that)
Silly cat, wore suede the rain
Swore he put the G in game, had the Gucci frame
before Dana Dane, thought he ran with Kane
I can't recall his name, wasn't he that kid
that nearly lost half his brain over two grams of cocaine?
Getting his dick sucked by Crackhead Corainne
A fucking shame, dude's the lame, what's his name?
Big head Dame, see what I mean?

Well Dame did show his character when he refused to sell Jay the rights to his masters for Reasonable Doubt with the excuse being "we made it". All those side projects Dame created and Jay never said hey, sell me back some of that Dame Dash Films because "we made it".

Of course Jay didn't want to buy it with the low-budget d rated movies they were making. These dudes in the industry are some fake dudes, stay the fuck away from me because I can do bad by my damn self. That is why do all my shit myself. These cats might input on a sentence you writing and want to say they co-wrote the shit. That is the type of lack of originality saturating the industry right now.  Don't need help from these bamas that are actually trying to hurt ya. If you a real dude it will shine through.
