I read that he was too expensive and did nothing, so they dumped him. | |

I read that he was the one that discovered Ne-Yo and Rhianna. [Edited 12/26/07 7:22am] I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

J=Zee at Def Jam sucked. His only notable signings were Ne-Yo and Rihanha and I doubt he was the one who actually found them. (come to think of if, Ne-Yo was at Def Jam before J-Zee was the CEO). PRINCE: Always and Forever
MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever ----- Live Your Life How U Wanna Live It | |

The entire idea of having him as an executive was to re-brand Def Jam after Irv Gotti was there, and attract new artists to the roster, but I couldn't name any of the new artists Jay-Z might have attracted or signed to Def Jam during his tenure. Worth looking into though if you were really wondering what difference Jay-Z made. | |

if anything, he was the reason for a lot of artist leaving. i lot of people there had issues with the CEO also being considered the competition. And you know J being CEO must've done some thangs to all of the rap artists E-G-O, including Jay-Z's. . [Edited 12/26/07 12:36pm] | |

All I know is the idea of "Roc-A-Fella" as a label is a little jacked up now. | |

[Edited 12/26/07 12:36pm] Wasn't LL Cool J one of the artists who was having problems with Def Jam at during Jay-Z's time as CEO? I thought I heard something about Def Jam not doing enough to promote one of LL's CD's. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Yeah, LL complained that his last albums weren't being promoted because Jay refused to give it leniency for someone like Rihanna. | |

Jay just looked more like a spokesperson for Def Jam than an actual CEO. I'm glad he realized that he's better as an artist than a CEO. The whole thing looked stranged to me from the start.

yeah, I know LL was pissed, but in Jay-Z's defense, LL makes some crappy albums. Yeah he is a legend, but at least every other album is trash, so if I were president, I wouldn't spend millions of extra dollars to push a crappy album either. Lady Cab Driver is one of the greatest songs ever! | |
