Yall should know heavy the head that bears the crown…Jay had to push his teams albums thats why they dropped him from Def Jam he was mostly self-involved with his artist…can u blame him

Andre Harell has quietly been on his grind. Thats what he’s been doing since the Uptown days. The last I heard he is still working with Puff(Diddy) at Bad Boy on a consulting basis. Dude is partly responsible for getting Robin Thicke his deal with Interscope and advising artists and executives in A&R. He is also involved with other non-music related ventures.

I think Andre Harell would be good for the job at Def Jam cause he’s been in the game for a LONG ***** time and has worked on the executive level before. Therefore he has had experience in running a company. And almost no one knows the business better than him.

Currently there are not many QUALIFIED people to run Def Jam. And I am hearing that has alot to do with why they haven’t appointed a new Pres and CEO yet.

The thing with Jay, Dame and Kareem is that all three came together to create their own company. Jay was not offered a contract with Def Jam in the beginning they didn’t want to sign him.

The thing I think you are missing is that signing to a major record company is a corporate business relationship. Not some street hustle *****. Artists can’t just make albums whenever they feel like it. Budgets must be approved by the label before a new album is even considered.

And sure most labels are in a trouble but from the stories out about Def Jam, Jay and others did a horrible job managing the company, including how money was spent.

@ COOP…I am glad he did because neither Reasonable Doubt nor Vol. 1 were promoted well. That is why they re-released Reasonable Doubt in 98 or 99.

So much hate you had to go backtoback?

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People kill me with that it is more of a trend then keeping warm.
