Jay sold Roc A Fella which was HIS company at the time, which means Kanye, as the artist signed, NEVER owned his Masters to begin with. When Jay sold the label to Def Jam then transference of the Masters went to Def Jam.

I think alot of people get Masters confused with Publishing. A new artist signed to a Major will
N E V E R own their Masters. What your supposed to own is your PUBLISHING (which Kanye sold off as well)


Jay-Z is not the problem in this situation. The problem is Def Jam refusing to set a price or make The Masters available for sale, which while fukked up isn’t illegal.


Seriously you think ANYONE over at G.O.O.D Music owns their Masters? All those John Legend, Big Sean, Pusha T albums? If Kanye were to sell Good Music tomorrow to Def Jam in exchange for HIS Masters then that would simply be business.


How do Rihanna and J Cole own their own Masters then?

Imagine hating on someone for selling something that THEY OWN. Kanye never owned his masters but Jay is a snake for selling something he owns and has rights over? What should he have done, given it to Ye for free?? :mjlol:

If billionaire Kanye West wanted his masters back he should’ve placed a bid. It’s never too late.

Could have given Ye a chance to buy out or negotiate down some of those future recordings that were included. If that is someone you claim is your brother or your family and not a just a chess piece for you to manipulate then you would at least give them that opportunity to say no. People in here saying those recordings were worthless at the time, well then it shouldn’t have cost that much to buy them out.
