Earlier this week, Dame Dash gave one of the best interviews of his career on The Combat Jack Show. Hearing him get animated about life experiences, money, friends, failure, and success got us all nostalgic. It was only some years ago when it seemed like Dame was in the media doing this sort of thing all the time. Every one of his moments on camera or in the booth always felt a little surreal, and there's still no executive in hip-hop who handles business the way that Dame once did. For a better understanding of his past prowess and the knowledge he used to kick, read on for a quick breakdown of The 10 Best Dame Dash Rants.

"This the producer on the ROC. He rap better than most rappers." When "Champions" dropped in 2002, no one could have predicted that Kanye West would be the biggest rapper out just a few years later, but Dame's emphatic co-sign put him in a position to do so from day one. Even when Freeway spits, Dame follows up with, "I got niggas that'll assassinate you, b. Lyrically!"

The Paid in Full soundtrack came with a separate Dream Team disc of original Rocafella material. One of the highlights is "I Am Dame Dash," where Cam'ron and Jim Jones rhyme about Dame's hustler past, while Dame himself talks shit in between the verses. "I can't rap!" he exclaims, and it's cool, because he can rant.
