who knows what to believe anymore :yeshrug:

Business, especially in the arts, is extraordinarily hard to get into. There are so many variables that your average person doesn't and can never know unless they're mentored into the game from someone who actually knows.

What'd he say specifically?

Pretty much what waka said, he was the first and most important victim of lyors scheming and plotting.


You need proof that Rick Rubin doesn't like lyor Cohen? You obviously don't know the history of def jam and/or refused to read the honorable SKJs post that broke it down so do your googles homie. Rick Rubin didn't walk away from a million dollar company he started in a dorm room for the fukk of it.

Good to see Waka being woke the last few years

He lost both his younger brothers and his best friend. When his youngest committed suicide, he was gon quit music altogether. The only reason he even does EDM is because Aoki convinced him to. Waka def been thru some shyt, it ain't just fun n games for him no more. but you'll still have nikkas actin like he fell off, he chose to this path he didn't fall off.

Bro 'nem
You would think artist these days would be smart enough to make sure mandatory releases dates are in their contracts before the sign them but nope. I rarely feel sorry for the artist. Their fault for not reading the paperwork and trusting the lawyer for everything. I would never do that. I would study a little bit of law on the music industry side just to make sure I wouldn't get fukked by lawyer who has ties to the label anyway.

What can you expect from the young, broke, hungry and uneducated?

Everyone that made money with Lyor or any executive says that they are cool people, everyone that starts flopping and shyt says that they are snakes. That's how it was and how it will be, specially when you deal with rappers. Lyor was CEO of WMG, probably thousands of artists all over the world. His dealings with Waka couldn't have been close enough for him to ever hustle him. Just a pure guess, I would think that he has a 360 and still has to pay Atlantic/Warner for the shyt he's doing now, without them helping him.

When and where did he say anything about trust?

Simmons backed Lyor, which means that Russell is as untrustworthy, or perhaps they wanted to do different things.
Like Russell and Lyor wanted to keep it hiphop and Lyor wanted to expand into rock, which is what he did after Def Jam.
