The Roc-A-Fella Saga


According to Livesteez, a new documentary will take a closer look at the sour dealings between Damon Dash & Jay-Z:

Many have speculated on the breakup of the Roc-A-Fella camp, but Choke No Joke knows first-hand of what made this empire come crashing down.

The former BET producer and one-time Roc-A-Fella employee explores the infamous breakup of the Roc-A-Fella empire in his upcoming documentary. Choke has combined footage stemming from over a decade and turned it into a probing documentary called “I Am Choke No Joke”.

In the film, he offers his take on what caused the Roc-A-Fella fall-out. Choke hinted at a few segments that will be seen in his documentary and some of the main underlying issues that created the tension between Jay-Z and Dame, as reported by SOHH.com.

“Dame was a camera freak, he loved people to tape him ’cause he started thinking he was a star,” Choke explained. “Ever since the ‘Big Pimpin” video, he started gettin’ a little light and it started to get to his head.”

He also said Dame’s proclamation that Cam’ron would be vice president of the Roc, and the signing of Ol’ Dirty Bastard were among some of the events that caused tension within the camp. “Jay wasn’t feeling none of that sh*t.”

Set to unload an overwhelming amount of exclusive, never-before-seen footage of some of hip-hop’s most memorable times, “I Am Choke No Joke” is currently scheduled to drop summer 2009.
