Jay-Z recently discussed rumors of him bouncing from Def Jam:
So I gotta ask you: It’s December now. How are you feeling about your contract at Def Jam? That’s coming up soon.
You know, it’s active. We’ll see how it turns out. I mean, we’re close. So we’ll know in the next couple of weeks how it turns out.
The New York Daily News said last week that talks were stalling because you made some big demands. Is there any truth to that?
No.
So from your perspective, do you think you’ll be at Def Jam next year?
Yeah, I think — I don’t know. Let me not even say that. I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes. But seriously, it’s not about money. That’s really the last thing. Of course, as a person that does these type of things and puts his heart and soul into it — and it’s effective, as the Grammys would indicate — you want to be compensated for what you do. But it’s really not about money. It’s really about the future of the music business, and not wasting anyone’s time. I don’t ever want to sit in a seat just to sit in a seat. I could be off doing something else that’s beneficial to the future of the music business as well as myself. So it’s not about money! I mean, you couldn’t pay me enough. And I don’t mean that in a cocky way
Some people say Camel is hustlin’ backwards by getting another “job” but we disagree. The truth of his success is enough to shoot down the critics. Oh yeah, a new 40/40 is opening up in Vegas at the Venetian.
We just want the old man to put down the mic.
