Dame Dash <\/strong>feels that Jay Z\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> Yankee Stadium shows are all glitter, no gold. The Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder argued that the concerts focused more on selling products than celebrating the occasion.<\/p>\n The shows, staged to mark Reasonable Doubt\u2019s 30th anniversary, were engulfed with merchandise and promotional material, making him skeptical.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking on The Art of Dialogue, Dame Dash questioned why the concerts were positioned around the 30th anniversary but contained overwhelming amounts of Yankees branding. TMZ<\/a> reports that Dame Dash appeared disillusioned with the heavy presence of merchandise, making the concerts feel more like a well-plotted marketing campaign and not a tribute to the rapper\u2019s debut album.<\/p>\n He also pushed for scrutiny into the crowd shots and promotional activations to be part of a larger marketing ploy. However, he added that he had no knowledge either way.<\/p>\n Dash emphasized that the overtly commercial nature of the concerts overshadowed the performances themselves. He also noted that he would like to see something fresh and not an overly polished, nostalgia-driven production.<\/p>\n The music executive also criticized the cinematic opening sequence before the concert, where Beyonc\u00e9 was shown shaving Jay Z\u2019s head. He found the whole thing thoroughly unconvincing and contrived. He also made a lighthearted comment, saying that he wouldn\u2019t trust his own partner with his hair. The segment clearly brought forced limelight to the couple.<\/p>\n Dame Dash\u2019s comments may not be completely unbiased, especially since he has a long-running feud with him.\u00a0The pair co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records in the mid-1990s before their relationship deteriorated amid business disputes, leading to years of public disagreements.<\/p>\nDame Dash explains his criticism of Jay-Z\u2019s Yankee Stadium shows<\/h2>\n
