Dam. That was bruh too….

thank god.

He did almost nothing for hip-hop while he was there, he did help ne-yo and rihanna.

I’d give him a C- if cuz I’m feeling generous, bumping AG still though.

wonder who the washed up an bitter rappers gonna blame now that jigga man is gone

man i cant wait till LL’s cd drops and flops…who the fuk is he gona blame???

that is gona be funny shit….with jigga out, these complaining rappers should be goin platinum now rite???

hov bout to make some big moves, watch out

cosign 3
but i’d give him a D- cuz AG didnt last a week in my playlist

The Day That Jay-Z, Thought He Could Do Dame Dash’s Job

was the day that Roc-A-Fella ended. ROC was great because each member was good at what he/she did. But Jay is not really that experienced running a multi million dollar record label.

I’m Still A Fan Though!!!

First… Does this mean he is gonna take da job at sony hmmmmmm

He tried his best but like anybody sometimes it aint good enough people have to realise he is only human he cant be great at everything.

One things for sure he is a great mc and he shouldnt quit if he makes a new album it will be his best ever imo cus the mcs that helped him lose his presidency will be scared what he is going to do next. I predict Takeover part 2. LOL

fuk u ppl talkin bout?
how many grammy nominations did def jam get alone? 25?
he gets a B

this is good i think he did enough at def jam (ne-yo, rihanna, kanye, rick ross, young jeezy). if hov does a takeover part 2 i feel sorry for all the little dudes taking shots at him. lol i wonder who LL is gonna blame when his next album flops. LA Reid? lmao

thank goodness. i’m glad he left and is moving on to bigger and better things. he gave that company FREE publicity and all they did was disrespect him. now that he’s resiqnd, every hip hop artist on that label should be pushing triple plat since they blame him and nobody else for their troubles. let’s see who they decide to attack now. i’m just going to sit back and relax cause things at def jam is about to get a whole lot more interesting!

Well now LL is really gonna have no one to blame for his shitty albums…let the world know you really suck homey. And as for Jay he brought Def Jam back on the map. Look at the Grammy nods people its ridiculous…im glad hes off its rocafella all day sonny, everyone can get off his dick and hopefully they can start rebuildin the dynasty

an A bitch what kind of question is that??

p.s. tha nigga quit and didnt get fired dickheads

co-sign #12

C- . This dude didn’t really promote nobody. It’s not what you did last year, but what you have done for me now jay.

C amel

Co sign with # 12..Who R the bitches gonna fuss about now
??? Go Jay U know he has big things planned in 08

haha easily a B

Def Jam is done..they fucked up with that move…im really interested in seeing the moves that they plan on making, should be interesting

Sounds like his contract wasn’t renewed. LA and them knew he wasn’t worth the cake - at least they had the decency to let him save face with that “steps down” line before showing him the door.

As for Jay’s job in the corner office…meh. He basically did what any other exec at any other label would do; push the safe/easy to sell acts (Jeezy, Rick Ross, Riahanna) and let more challenging acts (The Roots, Freeway, Peedi Crack, Joe Budden etc) sit on the shelf or flop.

C as in Camel.. word lol funny shit, but really an f

Is just gonna be funny because when the same artists that were blaming Jay continue to flop then who are they going to blame?

Hov is not president anymore so who they gone blame now?

He brought the label mad success but not everybody was willing to except him as boss so they worked less harder rather than workin with him and told the media it was his fault those artist done him wrong imo and acted like rats, those artist are still gonna flop regardless of their next boss.

PEOPLE ARE MAD JUDGEMENTAL , BUT LETS SEE HOW FAR HIP HOP GOES WITHOUT JAY Z/ OR EVEN DEF JAM GOES,NOTHIN IS GANNA CHANGE
THERE, IF ANYTHANG, GET WORSE….BUT PEOPLE ARE NEVER SATISFIED NEITHER, BUT JAY Z LEAVING ISNT GOING TO MAKE HIP HOP OR DEF JAM BETTER AT ALL, ITS ONLY GETTIN WORSE….I THINK HE DID ALL THAT HE COULD THERE IN HIS POSITION, ANYBODY IN THAT SAME POSITION WAS GANNA TAKE THE SAME HEAT THAT HE DID THE ENTIRE TIME, LIKE JAY SAID, LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NO LONGER EXIST…F*CK THIS! HA

Thank god! Now he can get away from all those unsuccessful cry babies, and have more time to make even more money elsewhere.

niggas act like if jay gone, hip hop dies. GTFOH

i honestly cant give him a grade cause he wasnt there long. i need some years to see change and progress in order to grade, this is a major label, not McDonalds.

B grammy nods and look at how many people came to def jam just because him

Yo j dats my dude but ill give him a B- but not for the reasons the haters have artists floppin there aint much he couldve done 50 or jd gonna take the seat now they say.

F.. nigga used all promo money on his own album pfft.. fuk this camel ass nigga he didnt even help beans n free .. fuck this nigga fo real.. n fuck u jayz dickriders

65, nigga gets a D-

Imma give Jay a c-
on the strength that jeezy did go platnuim and had like 4 hit singles and rick ross and rihanna make hits
but other than that who else has def jam been successful wit ?

I think he what rappers said, like Joe Budden, Beanie and of course 50 cent get to him. Maybe words can’t break bones, but it looks like it broke his drive to run Def Jam.

i’ll give him an F

this dude is the man but he gets a C … he didnt promote nobody.. he shitted on Bobby Valentino, Freeway, Beans…SMH

If he gets a low grade than what president gets a high grade? What record label has all their acts selling records? All of you forget that record sales especially hip hop sales are down all together. Name a record label with more sales in hip hop than defjam.

i guess ll got he’s wish .

B grade…

He had the highest selling artist of the year in Kanye. He broke new artists like Jeezy, Rick Ross, Rihanna, and Ne-Yo. He gave Fabolous a second wind. Luda did very well and got a hit single with Playaz Circle. Dream got a hit single as well. Juelz Santana did well. He signed hot talent like Uncle Murder, The Roots, Tru Life, and Sam Scarfo. Also, Jay did well with his own project as always.

At the same time, he dropped the ball on several artists like Nas, LL Cool J, Freeway, Ghostface, and Beanie Sigel. However…as of recent years, all of those artists have been low to moderate sellers before Jay-Z’s involvement. Def Jam had layoffs which is definitely not a good look.

I think ppul are quick to target him because he’s best known as a rapper. Also, ppul didn’t think he was ready for that level of executive responsibility going from being head of an imprint label (Rocafella) to a major. If you disregard those preconceptions and consider the industry slump you will see that he did quite well overall.

He didn’t do shit but collect a check.
Grade: E

he get a B if u ask me
rappers at defjam thought they had it bad b4
its gonna get so much worse
christmas came early
now we will be blessed wit the heat from:
redman
methodman
the roots
LL cool j
freeway
watch the platinum plaques start stacking up

I would give him an F for failure in actually not contributing the right hands on tactics to help HIPHOP artists not just r

I say we can’t really give him a grade ’cause we don’t know everything that he did. I mean, all people on the outside looking in have to go by is the other artists album sales, there’s more to it than that IMO. Ni**as still gone be mad he recording though. lol He feels good about his time, accomplishments there so w/e.

HE DID NOTHING THAT HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN HIP HOP:

D IS THE GRADE.

MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU’LL THINK ABOUT LEAVING SOME OF THAT MARKETING MONEY FOR YOUR ARTISTS.

but if yall niggas look, what new artist did he get? none, he helped artist that would have sold without him.

Marketing and Promotion for himself: A-

Marketing and Promotion for veteran Def Jam artists (Ghostface, Joe Budden, Redman, etc.): D-

I predict the Roc is gonna re-Takeover with Beans, Young Chris, and Kanye, make it 2001 all over again. =)

im excited to see what def jam will become now that hov is gone will people still point the finger are take blame for their own downfall in success with their albums

50cent was right, seriousssss

Put JD as President and Hip Hop will be “dead” @ Def Jam! RnB all day and Night, Janet should be counting her lucky stars right now LOL.

Go ahead Jay, time for you to move on to bigger and better things for example a Family. Let’s see who all those cry babies will blame for their FLOPS now!

ya’ll dudes must live on mars or sumthing
ya’ll want jay to spend millions of dollars promoting albums that would’ve never sold millions of records
i dont get what your beef is
so he didnt promote redman, he should be fired?
he didnt promote joe budden, so he did a bad job?
niggas is tired of rap. so unless u got a different angle or sumthin special about you, u shouldnt have alot of money put towards your promotion.
all hiphop sales are down, so thats jayz fault?
its interesting to see how ya’ll would manage that label money. your label would be finished in a month

c- for hov as president.
a- for hov as an artist.
a for hov on the business level.
f for hov on looking out for his people.

thank goodness he should go away and take his girl with him they

Most of you fools obviously don’t know anything about business.
Did he leave a better company that that which he inherited? The numbers says yes; so obviously it must be a passing grade (the letter does not really matter).

Best luck with the next gig homey. I would like to see some focus on the ROC.

Agree with #12…Nuff said…

cosign # 37. I really feel that Jay did a good job with the label but since I don’t know the responsibility of a music label president/CEO. I can’t judge him. I really believe that the reason why artists like the Roots and Method Man don’t sell cuz the south has dumbed everything down so much and downloading albums 4 free. People don’t know what real hip hop is anymore. Everybody is on Lil Wayne’s nuts not sayin he is not nice but overrated. LL has been done, he just can’t figure that out and to have 50 executive-produced is a dumb move. you’re an OG in thr game lettin urself get sonned by the new kid on the block. shameful.

u guys act like u all have def jam’s budget on ur computer or some sshit…like u know how much marketing money was spent…ppl were sayin jay spent millions on kingdom come but he never spent shit…just cuz 50 said he spent all marketing money for 4th quarter doesnt mean its true…

“niggaz wake up on my dick, eat some breakfast first!!!!”

OOOOOOOOH THE HATERZ MAD NOW..HA NO MORE BLAMING JAY FOR DEF JAM RAPPERS, NO MORE BASHING AHAHAHAHAHA WHAT’S GONE BE YALL NEW HOBBY NOW?? WATCH HOW DON’T NOBODY GIVE A FLYING FUCK! BOUT WHAT DEF JAM NUMBERS ARE OR WHAT LL ALBUM SELL ONCE JAY IS FINALLY GONE AN’T NOBODY GONE CARE BOUT THEM.OVER THERE OR THEIR LABEL OR THEIR ALBUM SELLS WATCH MARK MY MOTHER FUCKING WORDS BET MONEY NIGGA

OOOOOOOOH THE HATERZ MAD NOW..HA NO MORE BLAMING JAY FOR DEF JAM RAPPERS, NO MORE BASHING AHAHAHAHAHA WHAT’S GONE BE YALL NEW HOBBY NOW?? WATCH HOW DON’T NOBODY GIVE A FLYING FUCK! BOUT WHAT DEF JAM NUMBERS ARE OR WHAT LL ALBUM SELL ONCE JAY IS FINALLY GONE AN’T NOBODY GONE CARE BOUT THEM.OVER THERE OR THEIR LABEL OR THEIR ALBUM SELLS WATCH MARK MY MOTHER FUCKING WORDS BET MONEY NIGGA….I ANM’T LYIN

did a pretty shitty job as president..and i wasn’t too happy with kingdom come or American gangster..the jay-z i knew and loved died with the black album.

i’ll give that nigga a C THATS ALL HE GET!!!!!!!

He did well. Put his work up against another President/Ceo, that’s in the same genre, in the last three years. lol

i dont think the kid should be any labels president after this.his whole thing is tarnished forever.

he needs to focus on roc-a-fella only and get it back to where it used to be at before beyonce came and dragged that nigga off to a deserted island every week.

the thing that nobody realizes is it didnt matter if hov was on def jam or not, LA Reid was/is the one that distributes the money to the def jam artists. only the R n B artists get the promotion, def jam rap artists don’t get shit LOL. jay-z didnt get promotion from def jam, all the promotion for ‘kingdom come’ and ‘american gangster’ were mostly from outside sources (sponsorhips from other companies). now that hov isnt there anymore, who do the rappers have 2 blame 4 STILL not gettin any promotion from the label?

jayz gotta get a passing grade
he might not have promoted the rappers the way they wanted to be promoted but thats nothing new
he released alot of rap albums that probably wouldnt have been released in the first place.
we got 3 ghostface albums in a year and a half
a beans album, a freeway,
he brought fabolous to defjam (traded for musiq soulchild to time warner)
meth and red should be happy they had albums out
if i was pres i would spend more on r

if we wont spend money to buy it, why should he spend money to promote it

i’d spend more money on r and b instead of rap too, theres a profit in that, theres no profit in rap anymore

r

since you asked

r

“Damn homie I guess not only do men lie, women lie, and numbers do too!”

He did a great job, all artist on def jam sold more than artist on other labels so wtf is people talking about over here ?. Hov did all the right things.

depends on which artist you look at if u look at kanye and jeezy give him a A as for all the others lol i dont think there is a grade for their success or you could give him a f because he made the furious lol

That`s more than sad! Why Def Jam didn´t give Jay-z a new chance to work for the company! What´s going on, LA Reid is stand always behind him and now Jay-z´s contract is up!!!! I don´t really understand this decision! I wish LL Cool J that his album sell 2000 on his first week and that´s it!

lol haha they told his ass to kick rocks,and for u stans funny how he “resigned”after they didn’t give him what “he”wanted so if he knew he was leaving what was the point of renogogiating morons….sure whatever they aint want his ass they just gave him the pleasure of saying he resigned so he wouldn’t feel so bad.I would give him a d for being a di^%

Def Jam got 26 Grammy nominations which other urban label come close.? ppl want label to put money into artist who’s just living off their name and not what they have done lately. it doesn’t matter who’s the president LA Reid would never approved it

shure alot of shit will flop after he s gone, he done spend all the marketing money! 50 already told us abouth a month ago. watch!

After reading some comments about some of yall typing negative comments about Jay-Z i say to you

Smarten up brother , i know common sense is not common but i like to use it. opnions are not facts and according to facts n numbers Jay Z was succesful is his years as president than all Presidents of Major Hip Hop labels including JIMMY , DIDDY ,LILES, FIDDY n the rest, so i dont know where some of yall get these opinions from. Don’t let your stupidity overpower you. i’m not tryna kick knoledge but some of us here are juss way too dumb n childlike. If u juss hate Jay Z coz he is 10 times better than your favourite rapper n you gonna use that to justify what you say about Jay Z then to me your are a sole loser n a sad one. people need to mature and give concrete opinions if they are to. Even if they were promoted better LL , Meth , Roots n all them cats weren’t gonna sell shit. the music business has changed n thats why Jay Z left Def Jam coz they dont wanna fund n find new ways of promoting music n helping artists sell, then u blame Jay for brothers flopping ? Yall niggas need to understand the fact of the matter than juss making weak assumptions because you doing than juss to make youself look more dumb n stupid in the eyes of your own consciousness.

IM ONLY BEING REAL.

Stunt youre rigth.
this is the disease of mankind to envy and to blame others,
look around niggaz he started another life, hes about to pass yall twice.I give him a B He did good but kept the great!!

hold up he still got roc fella one of the few sucessful RAP label, u know his going to put some work there!!

fuck jay, i like him azza artist, but az a man…. hes a dickhead…. fuck him… dude killed east coast rap…. yes blame him…. for not pushin joe budden, beans, free, and others, but usin his camel lips to suyck neyos dick n finger fuck riahanna…. fuck him

Look out for The Dynasty: Roc La Familia 2 in ‘08!

People blame Jay too much……He was President….which means he approves deals and other functions revolving on the business stands. There are many people in play that are the work force behind an artist’s promotion . Most artist that don’t sell, simply do not appeal to the listeners….can’t blame 1 or 2 people for an artist not going platinum. There are so many factors as play.

For example, LL Cool J (a rap vet) was the biggest dissapointment in blaming Jay……LL was not selling wayyyyyyy before Jay came into that chair and he will continue not to sell after Jay’s depature.

People just need a subject to blame……in this case Jay. I hardly heard anyone blame LA Reid….interesting.

Jay should get a B- to B (Thats good)

B

Def Jam has been the most consistent label, besides Interscope, for a couple of years in terms of hip hop.

A lot of people keep bringing up artists that haven’t sold since the 90s or never sold at all. NOBODY SELLS NOW. Look at what American Gangster has sold. Do you expect a label to spend just as much money to promote LL Cool J as much as Jay, when LL’s last 5 albums have flopped? Hell no. Expect Def Jam to go right back to lameless as it was previously.

Expect him and Beyonce to form a label, considering she’s done with her contract with Columbia.

Jay Z is the G.O.A.T. and he gets an A

jay-z gets a passing grade of an A
he mad music interesting and brought def jam back a the number 1 label out right now. what other label can have so many grammey nominations in one year. not interscope, jive, so so def. the cat has big shoes to fill, following russell simones and now jay-z. i dont think ll cool j can do better.

Co-Sign muuthaaaafuuukin Number 5!!!!

HONESTLY, HOV HAD 2 MUCH BEEF WIT MOST THE ARTISTS THAT WAS ON DEFJAM ROSTER TO BEGIN WIT. HE PUT ALOTTA WORK N PROMOTIN RHIANNA BEYONCE N ANY1 ELSE AFFIL WIT HIS IMMEDIATE ROCAFELLA FAM. BUT EVERY1 FROM METHOD MAN TO REDMAN TO JUELZ TO LL COOL J SAYIN HE AINT DONE SHIT 4 THEM. TRUTHFULLY WE AINT BEHIND THE SCENES WATCHN WUT GOIN ON WIT THEM SO WE DUNNO WUT JIGGA IS DOIN OR AINT DOIN ALL WE KNOW IS HIPHOP RECORD SALES AINT SELLIN 4 SHIT N WORD IS LA REID MAKES ALL THE MOVES ANYWAY NOT JIGGA. JIGGA SPENDS ALOT OF TIME ON VACATION WIT B EVERYTIME I CHECKD THIS BLOG THERE WAS ANOTHA POST BOUT HOV N BEYONCE LIVIN IT UP ON SUM ISLAND SUMWHERE.

I’ll give him a D.

He did some good (Rihanna, Neyo,Kanye) but a lot more bad like Ghost,Redman,Methodman,Beans,Freeway,Bleek,Teirra Marie,Joe Budden,LL, DMX.

don,t blame jay-z for those assholes sales blame the fans who don,t like them anymore.

he is going to start a lable with apple and he is going to make millions so fuck all the haters and all the artists he signed are going to leave to join him at apple who are cashing in with the i-tune music sales

c-

What the fuck has any of the artist complaining ever done for anybody Redman has not made anybody successful when he was hot, LL hasnt, Budden hasnt, DMX didnt do anything for the Ruff Ryders but make himself platinum, Method Man was the most successful Wu-Tang act and he aint do nothing for any of them he ran off with Redman all these rappers are fucking selfish bastards. They got Hov out of his presidency so they still will go triple brick!

Its funny. I think Jay z made Def Jam an off they CAN refuse on purpose. They don’t appreciate him. And that’s what he wants…cause its not about money. Def Jam was one of the few labels that made money and awards. He introduced niggas…Rick Ross, Jeezy..and put out Rihanna Kanye..great pick ups…fabolous Jadakiss etc. Jay did good to be a rapper.
Jay z said it. “When Lyor had Jay z droppin twice a year…He was considered a genius Jay z would be stupid not to drop an album…he makes better albums than LL.

A FUCKIN F

that’s true about hov using outside sources to get his albums poppin. American Gangster (obviously from the movie) and Kingdome Come(dude was gettin promotion from beer commercials people promoting his video too “show me what you got”. I swear 50 got everbody thinking oh Jay used all the marketing money for def Jam, see who’s gonna sell first week of Dec.( Ghostface etc.) people over talking hella shit like they really know the marketing plans of def jam. yall just looking like a bunch haters that don’t thoroughly know what the fuck yall talkin about. PEOPLE YALL MUST OF FORGOT, JAY-Z GOT HIS OWN MONEY FROM ROCAFELLA, ROCAWEAR, 40/40 ETC. so jay doesn’t really need to piggy back off Def Jam like that. plus he got his six figure salary( I’m assuming this cause that’s crazy if def jam payinem millions to do what he do.) 50 got people hating on Jay cause it’s a G-unit/ Rocafella competitiveness going on cause of Kanye when he outsold 50 and when Jay joined Kanye on 106 and park which 50 was buggin off of cause attention was more on the Roc that night.all 50 had was Yayo not even Timbaland or Justin.plus LL’s complainin where I can’t knockem he got points to his view, but Joe Budden lookin unsavvy as ever( he’s talking like rappers in the 90’s before they got savvy) duke still don’t know what time it is on how this matrix work.(if the higher ups on the father record labels (universal, warner)choose to invest in you cause they got the got million dollar budgets, like it’s nothin, it’s the way it is.It’s what the politics choose, not cause LL, 50 and Joey said so. they got yall gassed up, but Joe Budden still don’t get it.

jay made neyo Rihanna kanye and he also brought nas 2 the label settled that beef got good tracks from them
HE GETS A B- let see what happens 2 the label now!

stop naming people like redman.method man, freeway, beans,bleek, teirra marie, joe budden and dmx
these rappers dont sell records any more period, nobody wants to spend money on them and dmx aint even on defjam.
if ya’ll like dmx so much why u aint buy his album becuz of jayz?
he traded dmx and scarface for nas, he traded musiq soulchild for fabolous.
those artist havent sold alot in recent years. hiphop is dying and records aint selling thats not jayz fault.
those who hate jayz just hate jayz
i aint making excuses for him, but those rappers record sales arent his fault not at all
they old washed up dont have a fan base or fell off.

F- dude sucks as a president

i just say it was a short stint at the label, he was cool but he didnt bring to the label what i was expecting. i guess im just disappointed that its over so quickly. i would have liked to see how this all played out in the long run. his relationships seem to fail.

D

he gotta get a bad grade cuz def jam dont want his ass no more. i know he didnt get fired, but if he was good at what his job was they woulda made sure his ass didnt go nowhere. the way they figure it, they can pay someone who doesnt want that much money, an aspiring young nigga like diddy was back in the day, and that nigga will do a better job for way less money. niggas at the office in def jam is sayin it in all the interviews, quotes yall seen like “jay is never at the office” “jay dropped the ball on _________ album” “jay gets paid too much to do what he does”…..no way he gets a good grade. u can talk about the good shit he did, but the bad outweighs the good. have u ever had a boss that never was around and shit was all fucked up at your (street, job, school, etc)? would yall give your boss a good grade? hell no. this is the same situation. big up to jay and im sure he’s going to do his thing wherever he goes, but the spotlight was on that nigga the whole time he was the president and its a lotta people that was dissapointed in that nigga. in the long run it will probably be looked at as a failure, not only because of shit that was goin bad at the label, but the complaints, the fact that he was droppin albums while he was the president, and that nigga only had the job for 2 years. not that its all jays fault, but when a team does bad theres always a front office change, even tho its the players thats fuckin up. maybe this will motivate niggas at def jam to come out wit better music. nowadays, niggas need to make sure every track on the album is the best track on the album if they wanna put up big #’s. no half ass music allowed

i give jayz an- A very well done bro great job as PRESIDENT they well always be hate hova MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS!!!!

Thoughts on Jay-Z’s job while president? Erm he helped Ne-yo

ppl react like that because it’s JAY Z if it was lyor cohen or L.A anybody would give a grade so he did good for me i wish him the best i wonder who is going totake the blame for the flops now bush maybe or al qaida lol come on lets keep it real i stoped buyin’ LL cd way before J was the CEO

co-sign #96, well said.

Jay-Z gets an “F” for being such a FAGGIT.

I’d give an A-. The hits are undeniable. The bricks are critical. But all, Ludacris, Kanye, Nas, Jeezy, Ghostface, Fabolous, ..i could go on. I mean, The Roots, Methodman, Freeway. They have never gone platinum. Do the research (minus Methodman with Redman or WuTang or haha, Limp Bizkit). haha.

please look at the job the music industry has done and I would say compared to what other labels have done during his tenure….A-/B due to the fact that every label is gonna have flops (yes even interscope does to) but if you look at the albums he ex-produced he’s and really had hands on work in they’ve done pretty well….and honestly speaking L.A reid is the reason Def Jam is going R

please look at the job the music industry has done and I would say compared to what other labels have done during his tenure….A-/B due to the fact that every label is gonna have flops (yes even interscope does to) but if you look at the albums he exectutive-produced and really had hands on work in they’ve done pretty well….and honestly speaking L.A reid is the reason Def Jam is going R

All you Jay-Z fans need to shut the fuck up and learn how to ead and listen. That nigga didn’t “step down”, his PR put that SPIN on it. It’s called getting fired and the rumors that he will be fired have been out for a least a year. He and Beyonce just pay A LOT of money to all the right publicists to control the media like all big celebrities. I can’t WAIT till the truth REALLY starts comming out about this dude, but no one will probably listen cuz he has so many under his media spell lol.

For the record, LL don’t give a fuck if HE ever sells again, he was just trying to be the voice for the little people. Who would want to stand around and watch the house that they helped build with their own hands crumble without a word? But, since you all think of Jay-Z is a “God MC” or better yet, just a GOD you all didn’t hear what LL was saying. You all are worse than the Jewish media trying to take down Will Smith for saying something that makes a lot of sense.

JAY Z IS A RAPPER, NOT A BOSS!!! And he hasn’t had a DOPE ASS album since The Blueprint. Since then, everything he has dropped been mediocre at best. His OWN rap career is still sailing off the hype of Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint and Hard Knock Life Vol 2 cuz those are the ONLY mentionables in his catalogue of 7 or 8 albums IMHO.

None of the artists that complained are expecting to go platinum in THIS industry when superstars like Jay, and 50 are struggling to go platinum. Hell, why do you think Detox hasn’t dropped? Dre doesn’t know if he wants to re-enter this fuckin industry. It’s bullshit and no one knows what good music is, but the expectations for him are still there.

But when your BOSS drops an album in the 4th quarter 2 YEARS IN A ROW after retiring and you have an album that isn’t being properly promoted GOOD OR NOT then WTF are you supposed to feel like? And some of these dudes came from Rocafella and didn’t learn their lesson there and repeated the same unsuccessful patterns at Def Jam under the SAME FUCKIN DUDE. That is not loyalty, that is just plain STUPID. Jay only looked out for Jay on The Roc and wouldn’t even SIGN someone who he thought even had the potential to be better artist than him ie Dame signed Kanye West as an artist, so WTF did they think was gonna happen when they dropped the Roc and were souly on Def Jam with dude?

Jay is a master manipulator. He only deals with people he can convence and believe he is smarter and trust that he knows better than they do. People who believe he is a genius. He is NO genius. He just learns faster and learned EARLY how to surround himself with the right people. Jay was already a grown man when Reasonable doubt dropped and that makes a HUGE difference in the learning curve he posesses too. He even has Beyonce saying “he is so smart” but she is brick dumb and we all know it so you have to consider the source LMAO. People WAKE UP. This dude gets an FF. And I don’t think he should take any credit for Rick Ross cuz he was already a well known ghostwritter and Ne-Yo wrote HITS before Def Jam so they don’t count. They were obvious signees.

Scott Skiles got fired, not getting a contract renewed isnt getting fired. When you ask for a specific dollar amount and your employer refuses then terms cannot be met, thats it. But fuck the legal talk, im sure he wont need to collect unemployment anytime soon.

“If you owe me ten dollars you aint given me nine”

He aint help the East….spent up all publicity funds on his joint…..Damn hov

and yall niggas talk about JD. Maybe he could learn from JD. I think he has alot of learning to do, he doesnt know everything.

U GUYS ARE WHACK

HOW DO U KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT???

DID DEF JAM SEND OUT THE 4TH QTR BUDGET TO ALL YOU PEOPLE?

im guessin none of u are businessmen cuz if u were u wouldnt be talkin this stupid shit

why invest money into something that u KNOW isnt gona bring you any profit??

hov dont give a fuk bout the artists; hes got shareholders to worry about…and i guarantee if u find any shareholders they’ll be more than happy with him

why u tihnk he had to drop in the 4th qtr 2 years ina row??
cuz no artists were sellin and he had to bring the money in, its a fukin business ppl understand that shit

im sure hes got fukin bonuses and quotas n shit to worry about so the last thing hes worried bout is what cool j is talking bout…hes concerned with the bottom line and thas it

how much sense does it make to spend 2 million dollars on a project thas only gonna sell 100,000 copies?

when LL cool j’s next album drops i wana see how many of u buy it

and it aint his fault he hustled the entire industry

all these whiningass niggas been around longer and they still dont have their own labels, dont own their own masters and have nobody willing to pay them to endorse their product
