Damon punk a** resurrecting Roc-A-Fella because he's BROKE, and probably asked Russel for a piece and a chunk of change to re-launch. He's finally realizing when you do people wrong, it comes back to hunt your a** and weigh heavily on your conscious like it has done him. However tho, he resurrecting this brand, again, because this no-good, b*tch-ways and b*tch tendencies having b*stard is B-R-O-K-E, with his non-acting a**. And that diabetic ailment got him looking quite rough and is aging him some kind of horribly these days. I also wander did he ask his old sluttish, cougarish, non-acting, snobby b*tch of a cousin, Stacy, for a loan? However, we're never know, huh, the real reason this wrong-doing fool is resurrecting Roc-A-Fella? And this fool is old as dust damn near (as per viewing the photo above), still wearing baseball caps to the back...smdh!
