The cult classic Dame Dash once called his crown jewel is no longer under his control, after filing for bankruptcy and giving up key assets.
Dame now faces the reality that his biggest film accomplishment has landed in the hands of 50 Cent. 50 has seemingly acquired the rights to Paid in Full and is plotting to spin it into a television series. And, the G-Unit general wants to include Cam’ron, star of the original movie and Dame Dash’s former friend.
The move fits his formula, with the success of shows like Power and BMF proving he knows how to turn gritty street tales into mainstream hits. Given Paid in Full’s place in Hip-Hop culture, this next chapter is already massive. Cam’ron, once signed to Dame’s old Roc-A-Fella brand, has not become an adversary. Their falling out years ago was messy, and this partnership seems to be a proverbial nail in the coffin.
