Dame Dash, entrepreneur and record label executive for Roc-A-Fella alongside Jay-Z and Kareem Burke, is open to the idea of a Roc-A-Fella biopic.

After the release of Coodie & Chike’s docu-series ‘Jeen-Yuhs’ about the rise of rapper Kanye West’s career, Dame Dash is highly sought after for his reaction to the Netflix series. The first two episodes of the docu-series chronicle West’s hustle to be a signed rapper at Roc-A-Fella, Dash was the executive to do so eventually in 2002. 

In a recent interview with theJasmineBRAND, Dash revealed that the biopic about the label would have to be done on his terms. 


“There’s a time and a place for everything,” The executive said. “So, if the time and the place is a place I don’t own and a time that I don’t enjoy, then I’m not doing it. But on my terms, I’m gonna do everything. But it’s got to be on my terms or it doesn’t get done.” Dash says plainly. He also added that the actor who plays him must be “superiorly cool.”
