![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “I need somebody to help me get everything I’m going to wear for the day all set up, know what I’m saying?” A day with Damon Dash is like a Britney Spears concert, with a change of outfits for every phase (he’s currently doing a sort of matchy-matchy homeboy thing with below-the-knees shorts, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and spotless leather high-tops, all in red). “Not many people understand how important having a butler is, but it is,” Dash says. In his Tribeca loft on this particular Monday, there’s a Danish architect in oval glasses and striped trousers who has big plans for the place and, with any luck, for that new office Dash’s personal assistant, who is not to be confused with his executive assistant up on Seventh Avenue and who is preparing for the day ahead by charging a half-dozen batteries-for Dash’s A cell phone, his B cell phone, and his BlackBerry-and then backup batteries for each a chef a bodyguard and a man auditioning for a job as his butler. Lassitude, however, doesn’t mean solitude, and Dash still has many people waiting on him. (“Some opera or something, I don’t know.”) He’d like to move into new office space for his apparel lines, if he can ever find an appropriate floor plan, price, building, and block. He says he might fly to Los Angeles later in the week to produce a song with Carmen Electra, on a lark, and is hoping to find something else to do while he’s out there-“movie meetings, maybe, music meetings, whatever I can drum up.” In a few weeks, he’s been invited to Milan to introduce a performance at La Scala. Of course, that involves sitting still for a couple of hours, which is never easy. If he can get to the editing bay, there’s the possibility of checking in with the producers of his reality-TV show, Ultimate Hustler, which airs on BET, and helping them trim a few seconds off the last two episodes. Then, maybe, he’ll hit the gym at Chelsea Piers. #DAM DASH INTELLIGENT HUSTL CRACK#Today, at the crack of noon, he finds himself looking for something to do. What he doesn’t have a lot of these days is pressing engagements. In the business of hip-hop, diversification is the name of the game, and Damon Dash owns a record label, five clothing and shoe companies, a Swiss watch company, a vodka company, a television-production company, and a movie-production company. ![]()
