Def Jam Executives at Dinner

[prophecypro]

That Def Jam or Island Def Jam? its been decentralized for a minute
But I remember reading earlier in the year they are gonna restructure the label back to Def Jam

Problem is, it might be too late as a lot of acts are jumping or have jumped ship (Rhianna, Nas both about to leave )

If we didn't know Bimmy's history, would you say he looked "hip hop"?

That's the thing. They were never gonna take Dame no matter what. He was tolerated all those years Becuase he was in Mr. Carter's ear but them CACs sat and waited for Dame to shoot himself in the foot repeatedly (signing random people, wilding out, becoming less invisible) to a point where is usefulness was a liability.

At the end he was a glorified middle man who would only get summoned after the ink dried.

It's been said that Jigs got that president position because he "informed" some higher ups about Dame, Suge, J Prince and Irv's meeting about the infamous black distribution plan. Don't know if I believe that, but it seems very possible. If true, Jigs is the worst kind of sellout.

Would've loved to have seen what a shytshow that distribution thing would've turned out to be IF plans for it were even true.

News flash for you dummies, a white man created Def Jam (Rick Rubin). More Breaking News.....Def Jams first ever release was a track for a punk rock band named Hose. Lyor Cohen and Julie Greenwald, both "cacs", were two of the earliest execs there. If it weren't for these "culture vultures", you clowns wouldn't have heard of LL Cool J, Public Enemy, EPMD, Onyx, etc.

So you gonna casually not mention Russell Simmons

I didnt mention him because everybody knows he was there. But the truth is Rick Rubin created it and put Russell on.

can you substantiate this claim with proof, not that I don't believe you because I can totally see this shyt happening because Blacks are routinely used as puppets while cacs are in the background pulling strings?

Russell had the eye for talent, the connections, and Rush Management though. I say it was equal

Research that shyt yourself. It's a known fact that Rick Rubin started Def Jam when he was at NYU. Russell was just a promoter at the time when someone introduced them at a club. Rick asked Russell if he could help get the word out about Def Jam, and the rest is history.

If I'm not mistaken talks of black distribution were going on long before Jay got that position

The original 3 were Suge, J Prince, and I think Master P. But of course, that dream never came to fruition

 

[RenAi!]

Jay-Z is a true hero of white supremacy.

Jigga is 48 years old still making songs with Jeezy & Ross about selling dope and destroying the black community.

shyt, man.......

when they heard the "nikka nikka nikka" in the middle of All Gold Everything I'm sure each and every one of those CACs jumped at the chance to sign Trinidad James.

Would've loved to have seen what a shytshow that distribution thing would've turned out to be IF plans for it were even true.

I could imagine everything on the surface being ironclad, but all the 'affiliations' running the show behind closed doors would've been a BET American Gangster ep in the making.
