Roc-A-Feller Records co-founder Damon Dash suffered a blow to his lacrosse playing ego last week, after being told by the men's sportswear manager at Fred Segal that the upscale store doesn't carry Dash's Rocawear line because it's readily available at other, "less upscale" stores, and that Rocawear is "too urban."
According to an eyewitness, Dash publicly criticised the manager for not being sufficiently hip to what is "street" and "hip-hop," concluding the harangue with, "You're just a store manager. I run a corporation." Dash reportedly then threatened to put out a record trashing the retailer."
Like anyone who shops in Fred Segal will ever have heard of Jay Z.
