Dame Dash’s ‘Assassin’ Film Trailer: Starring Stalley and Citizen Cope

I’ve known Dame for so many years and it’s always interesting to hear what he’s cooking up. Over the years, there have been fashion projects and watch companies and film productions and clubs. His demeanor may have softened a bit, like anything you put in a tumbler for long enough. But I appreciate that he is ever active and sends over updates on his latest. Sometimes it’s a link to a female singer that he’s working with, Mckenzie Eddy. Other times, it’s the announcement of a sequel to his acclaimed BlackRoc rock x rap project with one of my favorite rock groups, The Black Keys. And last night, he sent over this short trailer for something called Assassin. Is it a film? Or a music video? Not sure, but I see it’s directed by DD172‘s Jonah Schwartz, and features Stalley and Citizen Cope…with sniper rifles.

Dame has the right idea, just keep throwing shiit at the wall until something sticks! He deserved a lot better treatment than what he got… I would love to see him take over Def Jam and kick all the trash out the door…
If he keeps plugging away at it he will strike gold again… Thats what happens when your first idea is so well thought out and well crafted, its hard to rebound. And when you consider your boy is the one who swagger jacked you and sold your style to the highest bidder thats even worse…

I’m definitely glad that Dame is still active and looking to remain relevant. It seems as if Dame has been blackballed/ostracized due to his personality. People should be judged on productivity NOT personality. I truly feel like he was never really FULLY/SINCERELY given his complete credit for the tremendous corporate success of Rocafella (similar to what Cam’ron goes thru in the music industry)…I’m paying very close attention to see how Jay-z’s ROC-Nation does without Dame’s marketing/business acumen….Also, Ms. Info if Dame has a twitter/contact info, post it….I have a terrific business venture I’d love to pitch to him…THANX!!!!

I’m with you on this… Dame should take what little money he has left and play the venture capital game heavy and invest in creative out of the box businesses…I think he would really do well in that world..
I’dd love to pitch him a hater app that I’ve been working on..

I’m rooting for Dame a lot. I always like to read articles featuring him and I love him on interviews. He has been very humble lately, considering what he has gone thru is only right. I makes me happy that he is not disillusioned with the Game.
I truly think he has chosen the harder way back into the game. A more noble way in my opinion. The Indy way is hard, cruel, tedious and filled with Dead ends.
I find it Admirable that he has taken this route given his earlier success.
Only he hadn’t been so over the top and ruffled Jay-z’s feathers. But then again, misappropriating funds in corporate America is unforgivable.
I’m sure he will Make a come back. Hip Hop will be better for it.

A short film would be dope but “Assassin” was the joint off of Stalley last project #LWN #ITM hopefully its a short film and visual for that particular record. Would be kinda crazy if John Mayer made a cameo in it. That song was hella solid.

Word…I’m from BK and to see Dame keep plugging at it while his man’s shitted on him and is a half billionaire, just seems wrong/unfair. He will persevere and make it. He did it once before and he will do it again and then cats will be on his dick again and he will be that much more of a dick again.
PS: By the way, Dame had a man butler way before Puff did but his dude was ‘hood and would probably beat your ass. lol.
