So why was RZA shocked Dirty signed to Roc-a-fella if he released Dirty from Wu Tang's management? Not contradicting any of your info but it sounds like RZA knew Dirty didn't want RZA handling his career. I hate Dame not because he swooped in as much as him putting Dirty to work quickly and obviously not caring about his mental recovery or sobriety. Of course RZA would do more for Dirty but I think almost any indie rap label would've done more than Roc did for an artist that big. But you bring up the fact that the Roc was crumbling and Dame was doing funny stuff just to get political power against Jay. Def Jam really should've bought out Dirty's project from Dame but it sounds like Dame might've signed ODB strictly to own a big artist's work when Jay inevitably left him.

Ason Unique is a decent album but a lot of the Roc features and beats seem like random shit Dame owned and threw on there to complete it. There's more music from those recordings that have come out. I was just thinking someone should compile all of it and eliminate the corny Roc artists.
