While Jay-Z remains mum about Dame Dash as the latter continues to dish his thoughts, opinions and memories about his heyday in the music industry, N.O.R.E., for one, has no problem responding. And one of his comments seems to have rubbed the thugged-out rapper the wrong way.
In one of Dame’s segments in his recent interview on The Art of The Dialogue, Dame touched on the rape accusations Jay-Z faced at the beginning of December and said that Jay would need the “white media” to give him cover, as culture-centered shows like N.O.R.E.’s Drink Champs and Charlamagne Tha God wouldn’t be able to keep Jay’s reputation afloat. “Drink Champs can’t get him out of this one and neither can Charlamagne ’cause those are the guys that hold him down no matter what he does,” Dame said. “So he got to get to People magazine and Entertainment Tonight right now ’cause they on his head.”
Taking issue with Dame’s take on Jay’s situation and insinuating that N.O.R.E. and Charlamagne are basically Jay-Z apologists, the “Superthug” rapper took to social media to give Dame his own two cents. He brought up how large he’s living these days, having to travel across seas on the regular while Dame’s days of international business trips are well behind him. Dame’s financial struggles have been on public display for quite some time.
“No one’s trying to disrespect you,” N.O.R.E. said. “We trying to show you love, but you keep coming at everybody. If you got beef with one person, you supposed to keep that beef with one person. You got beef with everybody around him…you became the Lame Dash. We don’t want to disrespect you, and I’m trying not to, as much as I can, because I actually respect the sh*t out of you, but you became the lame, chatty patty person that you said you against. Get ya life together. My number’s the same if you wanna work it out.”
Hip-Hop drama between men well into their 40s and 50s is weird, but yet, here we are.
We hope the two men can get on the horn and work out whatever issues there is between the two because the last thing Hip-Hop needs is two fully grown men going back and forth on social media. Just sayin’.
What do y’all think of this situation? Is N.O.R.E. right for feeling a way about Dame Dash’s comments, or is Dame in the right for sharing his opinions regardless of who he offends? Let us know in the comments section below.

It looks like NORE doesn’t want any podcast smoke. The Drink Champs co-host and rapper denies making fun of Cam’ron’s show on the Joe Budden Podcast.
As spotted on Complex, the Queens, New York native was almost caught in the crossfire between the Diplomats rapper and Joey Jumpoff. Last week Killa took to social media and posted a clip of the Drink Champs host talking rather greasy with Joe Budden about other rappers launching shows.
“You know what’s crazy? I’m looking at these rappers trying shows now—you know, rappers from our era—and they are so failing,” he said during the interview. “They doing sports shows, they doing comedy shows. They talkin’ about, ‘Yo, I’m up. I’m just doing this for fun.’ No, you are not!”
While N.O.R.E. did not put a name on the slander it was widely perceived that Cam was one of the “failed” rappers the two were poking fun at. Since then Killa’s sports show has gained incredible momentum and a cult following online. In an Instagram caption Cam’ron revealed that he is still cool with N.O. but referred to Joe Budden as a “crackhead”. This caused a rather spicy back and forth between Cam and Joe but it seems N.O.R.E. wants no parts of it.
“Me and you are friends from the 90s. You have my real life phone number. You hung out with me for days before you did Drink Champs just to make sure I was the same yalla that you know” N.O.R.E. wrote. “If you thought at any time I was going at you, Why would you go to the internet 1st?”
He also went on to say that he was not talking about Cam’ron in that “failed rappers” clip. “That footage from Joe Budden show is old footage. Ya show wasn’t created yet!!! I never saw a single footage of ya sh*t so there’s no way I could’ve been talking bout u !!!”
But under further investigation N.O.R.E.’s timing is way off. His appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast episode 600 was released in early February 2023 but Cam’ron had been promoting It Is What It Is on his Instagram since December of 2022. Cam has yet to respond to N.O.R.E.
