The Roots are supposed to drop an album this year and they're still signed to Def Jam, aren't they? Of course nobody at Def Jam actually cares about The Roots so they just release those albums with no promo whatsoever, but they do come out.

in this day and time an established artist a major doesn't need a big promo to release an album...maybe a single, video, and album release party :manny: shouldn't cost more than 100k to do that

In this day an time an established artist shouldn't expect to move too many units either... kind of prompts the question "whats the point"

Def Jam looking at their roster like 'we are never going to recoup' :patrice:

:rudy: the roots can easily move 150k plus over a year if they are promoted right

Ft. Stewart, Ga
Ross, Nas, and Rhianna for sure.


I'm sure we'll get some other odds and ends this year as well. Big Boi says he's dropping this year and he's signed to Def Jam, as well as the Roots and possibly Kanye

I thought Nas was done with them, and Def Jam on life support with the plug about to pull out:rip:
