Check out this unauthorized documentary by James Workman chronicling Kanye West’s career up to this point. Very thorough and informative.
From NY Daily News (where you can check out the full write-up):
Hip-hop mogul Damon Dash is so deeply in debt that he claims in court documents he faces imminent eviction from a rented mansion in suburban Carmel, N.Y.
“I am currently several months behind in paying my personal bills,” he wrote Tuesday in the 5-page filing. “For instance, I am currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I live and at risk of being evicted.”
Dash lost a pair of multimillion-dollar Tribeca lofts to foreclosure in 2010, with $7.3 million left on the massive mortgages.
He was platinum-selling Jay-Z’s partner in Roc-A-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line, and once boasted in a magazine interview that he ruled a $50 million empire.
Damon Dash rode in style in 2004, but now he’s buried in debt, including huge payments to ex-wife Rachel Roy.
An acrimonious 2004 split with his old pal initially netted Dash a $20 million windfall — but eventually left the 42-year-old facing hard financial times. Failed business deals, huge tax debts and repeated legal battles quickly left his deep pockets almost empty.
Court records show Dash lost a slew of lawsuits filed by landlords, fashion designer Charlotte Ronson and a celebrity bodyguard firm.
And pass-the-buck Dash claimed one business, dubbed “Fresh to Death,” was submarined by a “poor business decision made by my partners.” It was unclear what the business, named for a trademark Dash quote, actually did.
In addition to his foreclosed homes, his leased SUV was seized in 2008 after he missed his $714.99 monthly payment.
According to his court filing, Dash faces possible criminal prosecution for non-payment of taxes in New Jersey. Documents indicate Dash also owes more than $2 million in taxes to New York state, and he conceded owing federal income taxes.
Tina Knowles sat down with Access Hollywood Live earlier today and addressed the latest Beyoncé pregnancy rumors of being pregnant. Notable quotes from Tina Knowles: “No Beyoncé is not pregnant at this time…with a second child” and “it is going to happen, but just not right now”. During the interview, she giggles and says she keeps harassing Bey to have more babies, but just not right now.

Edutainment. Preaching to the choir makes no ufcking sense…after judging, viewing, rewinding, tweeting, tagging, hashtagging, loving, hating, laughing and thinking, hopefully Mu’ufckers read between the lines and pause the vid to read the propaganda we spreading (and not just pause to look at the ass-although that’s ok too…). Watch closely. Listen closer…

Mane was indicted April 9, arrested four days later and went to jail for nearly three weeks before being released on bond May 2nd.
