Someone educate me on why Lyor is the devil again. :lupe:

Aside from Dame Dash (who has a problem with everyone) most artists he works with show him love

Get a chance to listen to Foxy's interview o Wendy Williams from 2003.......when she broke down crying on the air, cause she had just lost a child (miscarriage)...and really was frustrated over Lyor and Def Jam and wanted to take a hiatus and just leave...

Foxy also told Wendy that she asked Def Jam CEO Lyor Cohen to let her
out of
her recording contract. "His response was, 'Over my dead body am I
letting
you go. You're stuck.' And I called him a devil and he hung up
on


That's just one of MANY grieviences artists have had against LYOR since the mid 80's, when Russell Simmons hired him to help wrangle Def Jam out of it's debt to CBS as well as manage the affairs of Run DMC, the Beasties and others under RUSH MANAGEMENT since he did start off as Run Dmc's tour manager

but these are his WORST OFFENSES:


5. Influenced Russell into creating the Rush Management division which was the biggest most historical conflict of interest music management deal in hip hop history….
Rush Management was basically an extension of Def Jam managing Def Jam artists as well as controlling various deejays such as DJ Chuck Chillout of Kiss fm whom help push many Def jam acts i.e (P.E, LL COOL J and others) in violation of FCC guidelines and payola statues

6. Caused the internal and eternal rift that separated longtime friends and founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin , by making Rubin seem irrelevant and outdated in terms of conducting the business affairs and creativity of the def jam brand i.e (artistic development was officially DEAD when Lyor had his way).

7. Disrespected Chuck D. by having Def Jam BLOCK Public Enemy from releasing their album on the net, in spite of P.E not being sought to renew their contract and lack of DEF JAM support for PE’s latter releases…

But was he in the south while all of this was going on.

Does a muthaphuka who OWNS a Burger King franchise need to BE IN THE STORE to OWN THE STORE??? :why:

come on Nacho ......your smarter than this....

LYOR IS THE ONE WHO BANKROLLED "DEF JAM SOUTH" son....he didn't have to LITEARLY BE THERE...

he let SCARFACE be the shopkeeper while he sat in his MANHATTEN office and took trips to St. Tropez.....

what was his reason in doing that big homie?

two significant reasons

1. CONTROL ......... Def Jam still felt that inspite of their unwillingness to promote the P.E brand much less push their forthcoming LP in 1999 called "There is a Poison Going On"....they didn't want them to walk away with that master recording which they felt THEY were entitled to along with the fact that Chuck D. was one of the first to start merchandising the P.E logo, brand which was recognized worldwide ..they couldn't let that just walk away out of their grips....it would be like De Ja Vu when the BEASTIE BOYS jumped ship to Capitol Records, and Def Jam had to not only explain but come up with bread to their parent company CBS/SONY to cover the breach.

2. FEAR..........keep in mind this was 1999 ...and Napster made impact in 99 because it was the first peer to peer software sharing site to make a significant impact on the music industry and downloading in general and also gave artists independent and major label acts the incentitive to take affairs to their own hands by reaching their target audience more directly without the traditional music distributor in the way........P.E hopped on this opportunity by offering to SELL THIER ALBUM WITHOUT DEF JAM consent on their own website....LYOR COHEN aka DR. NO ......stepped in to try to block this from happening...simply because it was something not only DEF JAM feared but every label would have to soon realize that TRADITIONAL RECORD DISTRIBUTION IS NOT NECCESARY if an artist became proactive with the INTERNET

:patrice: These offenses don't seem so severe

The Foxy stuff is reasonable. How often do labels let artists out of their contract.

1. Shouldn't Russell take blame for creating Rush?

2 receipts

3. Label heads and artists have marketing conflicts all the time.
