It seems Dame Dash is very serious about letting his share of Reasonable Doubt go. He announced it is for sale.
As reported by HotNewHip-Hop, the Harlem, New York, native recently took to social media to let the world know that his piece of Jay-Zâs debut is available for a price. On Friday, July 19, he posted the album artwork with a rather undiplomatic caption stating he is taking offers. âThis sh*t is for sale 1/3 ⌠only real inquiries only,â he wrote. The second photograph on the Instagram post is a visual of Jay-Z, Damon Dash and Kareem âBiggsâ Burke from the projectâs original CD booklet.
Naturally, the post quickly went viral and received over 10,000 comments within 24 hours. Lupe Fiasco left a comment, which has since been deleted, urging Drake to buy it. â@champagnepapi will keep it safe for generations to come. This is grail and influenced an innumerable amount of rappers to see it peddle such a lack of grace genuinely hurts my feelings a little bit.â Lupe went on to recommend that Dash hold on to his share saying, âOr just keep the s**t OG you should be infinitely proud of this. Without it there is no me as I am and Iâm sure other MCs will agree.â
This is not the first time the former Cakeaholic has tried to sell his 33% ownership in the 1996 effort. During an appearance on the Veuit podcast, Dash revealed that Jay-Z offered him $1.5 million dollars for his stake but he told his former partner no. Earlier this year, Camâron and Mase alluded to buying Dameâs share, but the transaction was never confirmed.
Last month, he reached out to Kendrick Lamar via IG after he unearthed an old social post from K Dot from 2010. âIâm sorry, Reasonable Doubt is better than IllmaticâŚ. #youcanunfollowmenowâ it read to which Dame posted, â@kendricklamar my 3rd is for sale if you want to buy it.â Kendrick never publicly responded to Dame Dashâs offer.

One of the cultureâs most sought after brands is turning 10. To celebrate the milestone, Pyer Moss is hosting a âlootingâ event.
The Cut is reporting that the New York-based label is inviting their fans to celebrate a decade of excellence in a very unique way. On Tuesday (Dec. 5), their Instagram account posted a video announcing their first ever âLoot-Out.â In the clip a host asks, âHave you ever wanted to feel like a real-life criminal? This is your chance,â while different videos of various mall stores being looted by unknown individuals play in the background.
The Pyer Moss website further details the event saying, âThe Loot-Out draws inspiration from the luxury industryâs global decline, the burgeoning dupe culture and the recent looting sprees across America.â Later on in the statement we learn how interested parties can participate. âAttendees will have the chance to grab as much as they can physically wear out the door with a time limit of either 1 or 5 minutes. The 1-minute experience is priced at $100 while the more extended 5-minute opportunity costs $300.â
The Pyer Moss Loot-Out is scheduled for Dec. 21 and Dec. 22 at a undisclosed location in New York City. Up for grabs are unreleased apparel, unreleased footwear, archival collaborations, runway samples, prototypes and various accessories. You can secure your entry here.
