The New York Daily News reported this morning that the big homie Dame Dash is feeling a Joe-the-Plumber-style crunch these days (their words were “MC Hammer-like financial abyss”). According to the News, Dame’s had a couple of his condos foreclosed and even had his Tahoe repoed.

Still, it’s not hard to envision a comeback in Dame’s near future. First and foremost, dude’s rolling with Jim Jones these days, and last but not least, dude’s got a track record that’s solid as a rock (certainly more solid than the Roc). With that in mind, Complex has a five-step plan to resurrect the Double D…

1. STICK WITH JONES

It would’ve sounded crazy a couple years ago, but fuck it, it’s true: Jim’s the most relevant NYC rapper in the game right now.

2. STAY AWAY FROM BAD PRODUCT INVESTMENTS

No America magazine, definitely no PRO-Keds, and please, for the love of Zune, no RocBox. Ever.

3. FILM A REALITY SHOW WITH YOUR WIFE

Not for nothing (and with all due respect, etc.), but your wife is kinda fine. Maybe try something like a Ultimate Hustler/Nanny 911 mashup (and let Rachel pick your clothes).

4. FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE

Teamwork, diversify your chain of command, rinse and repeat.

5. GET BACK WITH HOV

Either that or make another one. Come to think of it, the latter may be easier (see step #1).
