State Property's Omillio Sparks has come forward to speak on the collapse of Roc-A-Fella Records and explain how it was decided which artists would go with Jay-Z or stay Damon "Dame" Dash.
According to Sparks, he sensed conflict happening internally around 2003 and 2004.
"Around the time we were about to shoot State Property 2, that's when it was like -- because we were State Property so we had the clothing line, we got the music, we doing movies -- so everybody's like, 'Yo what's up Mac?' and then I don't know what was going on with the powers that be," Sparks said in an interview. "You could just see the tension...Then we had a little drama amongst each other because we were trying to get on point with the business side, we talking with Beans and he ain't giving us no answers so now people are pissed off. We got clothing lines, we got movies, we making music, what's up? So now everybody doing business, bringing their lawyer to the table -- there wasn't even a choice [when Dame and Jay split]. There was a sheet with names on it ripped in half, one went to Jay and one went to Dame. That's what we were going with. So there was no choice.
