JZ aint the prez of DEF JAM anymore....

aren't there also rumors that apple is doing something to revolutionize music by creating it's own distribution/recording company that will only be available online? that would definitely be a possible move for jigga to be the head of such a project (from a PR standpoint)

Well to that I say Haze 47 and wings and those guys have already been doing this.
Only way Jay or Apple is gonna completely bite that anymore is give away they shit for free. I am now believing that this may be the only way starting soon.
Honestly its going back to the 40's soon. You just give away the records as a novelty and let people pay to see you preform. Only way to get paid. Make em like you enough to pay to see it live..Then dont charge alot so they will come and hope enough show up that you can pay rent. lol..
Hey better know now that being a musician means not being rich generally.

Exactly what I said in an earlier post except we're going to do the charity thing.

at this point it doesnt really matter who takes his position at Def Jam. idont see them making any real waves anymore.

you know a label like def jam has stuck it out, look what they have accomplished. loud died and is just now trying to make a comeback, but def jam has been stable, a giant. they were groundbreaking before, whose to say that they cant bring anything new to the table in the future. chuck might be a good move for them because he is up to date with new media forms and technology, and he definately has his head on his shoulders. i doubt they will give it to any artist they have on the roster. artist's have egoes and other issues to deal with that will conflict with the labels interests.
