def jam been dead....:mjlol:
Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Big Sean, Pusha, YG, Jeezy, Fab, Jeremih, Aiko, Logic, Durk, Nas, Staples and more like inactive Frank Ocean and those "house music" dudes (i.e. pop artists like Afro Jack and Swedish house mafia).
They've still got a solid roster :what:


If Ross didn't have a 360 and wasn't bringing in any business (MMG went with WMG), losing him might've not been been an L. My wild guess would be that they probably offered him a 360 due to his wack sales and Epic gave him a non-360.

Defjam is really slipping. I didn't realize it until Nore pointed it out on his Breakfast club interview. But Ross, Jeezy, Kiss, Jeremih these are some of their biggest acts and they dropped the ball on ALL of 'em. :dahell:

Non of those artist or owners of major record companies ross signing with them again would be stupid I'm pretty sure rozay signed a fifty fifty deal for new mmg talent and release a few albums hell in a few years the whole roster may end up at epic

yall laugh at Ross numbers but forget he pushed 50k in one week after he dropped 2 free mixtapes when a lot of yall get behind Jay Rock but after that whole pre-order till it drops campaign he only did 19k.

with a hit that 50k can easily get to 100k.

dont sleep on Ross financial worth. :wow:
