Dame Dash recently revealed the goal of his five-year plan - to
become a billionaire. Dash, speaking to Tavis Smiley during an
interview with NPR radio, said that his ambitions were limitless.
"Maybe I need a little therapy, but I want to be number one at
everything," Dash said. "There's a lot of things that motivate me and
there's a lot of money to be made. It all works together."
Dash was speaking from the set of State Property 2, which is shooting
in New York. Part 1 of the movie ended with the star, Beanie Sigel,
being locked away in a prison.
State Property 2 picks up with Beans being released from jail. The
new movie features appearances by most of the artists on Roc-A-Fella,
as well as a major role for Queen's rapper Noreaga.
Dash said that rappers working in the film industry should be taken
as serious as any other actor, director or executive.
"The work should speak for itself, it shouldn't matter where your
from," Dash said. "If the opportunities presented to any person - be
it hip-hop, pop or rock, as long as you do a good job and take the
job serious and you have a respect for it, I think that's all the
really counts."
Dash said that he enjoyed directing and producing, but executive
producing is what hat he loved wearing the most, despite evolving in
each area.
"Truthfully speaking, executive producing is the best, because all
you have to do is cut the check. Make sure you come in under budget
and show up at the premiere," Dash said with a bit of sarcasm. "As
far as producing it's a heavy job, you have to make sure everything
is done right and you're responsible for everything. Same thing with
directing, you have to get up early and be there for every single
shot. It's tiring for a cat like myself because I am so involved in
other things."
