Music mogul Damon “Dame” Dash may have just dropped the biggest hip-hop shocker of all time. The former Roc-A-Fella Records co-owner revealed late rap icon Notorious B.I.G. planned on joining his record label.
In a recent interview, Dame Dash said Biggie Smalls wanted to eventually leave Bad Boy Records to join longtime pal Jay Z at the Roc.
“Biggie’s plan was to give Puff and them like three more albums because that’s what his deal is, then come sign with us, and we was gon’ do The Commission. We were looking for like a Charlie Baltimore, it ended up being her, that wasn’t our choice that was his. But, you know, that was what was gonna happen, or at least that’s what was talked about very seriously. I think that’s why he did a double album. Then he was gonna do a triple album, and he was gonna be out his contract, and then he was gonna come f*ck with us. I tried to sign The Firm but then Steve Stoute snaked us for that.” (Hip Hop Motivation)
Last week, rap veteran Nas shared some epic throwback Notorious B.I.G. pics.
Recently, Bad Boy Records boss Diddy remembered his late protégé on social media with some help from rappers Fabolous and Post Malone.

I don’t believe Dame. Wasn’t BIG doing his own label with UN?
I definitely remember those guys talking about the commission Man I wish hip hopcould of experience that…. Mr. Detroit City
Stink pink gators. My “DETROIT PLAYAZ” stand-up!
But. Who shot. Biggie. & why. Is the. real. Question
We’re. Hearing. All these. Other. In told. Stories of the. Late Christopher L . Wallace. About this & That. Ect. Ect. But what you don’t Hear. Anything !! About is Who Shot Ya. & Why .. Have. His. Mom. Express. Some. Of That.
The East n West coast fans know 2pac n biggie smalls was murdered for wanted to leave they labels.
Damon dash is Bullshittin. BIG was not looking to join Roca fella. BIG was head of the commission, it was his idea. Why would he want to leave Bad Boy and take his idea to Roca fella… To lose out on cheese while making Roca fella more money…. lol. I don’t think so! Big was already producing and writing for some of his own artists.
He did have plans to start his own once the Bad Boy contract was up. It wasn’t another album either that BIG owed. Life After was the last album for Bad Boy. That’s why you were seeing more of little Kim and the beginning of the commission…. BIG was already lined up with a few movie appearances and his own label was to be Launched from Atlantic Records. Clive Davis had him all lined up and ready.
I don’t know if many can remember back in the mid 90s in one of the last interviews…. BIG said he was going to do three more albums, after the sophomore LP and retire from rap. Not completely from it but he would go on to putting out his own artists. Also doing movies…. BIG really had more plans than puff, Jay z and whoever.
Not to talk down on Jay z, but if big didn’t pass. I believe jay would have joined Bigs label. The lox said they would make that move also… What Dash said can’t be true…. Big was motivated to get money and from what I remember… he was trying to get every bit of it.
I wouldnt doubt him wanting to leave diddys cornball ass he could see thru the fuckery
