LL you fool. Jay was the president of a label before he became the president of def jam. He already had plenty of experience running a record label. Maybe you forgot about the Roc, but it wasn't exactly a lemonade stand. Go put your cop badge back on and prepare for your next scene with Robin, black man.
def jam is not the def jam of authentic hip hop like it use to be. that's why cool j is speaking out about the situation.LL started def jam just like jay started the roc but jay fucked that up just like he fucked up def jam.
jay z ran and still runs rocafella, but its a sub label under universal, runnin rocafella and runnin def jam are two different things. artists that signed to rocafella were signed under universal labels too, like kanye goin to mercury and now def jam. so all u jay dick riders understand wat LL is sayin before talkin shit that u think is an intellegent arguement!
LL was number 1 at def jam for time.. but Jay-z up now... i think u should kept a stake in a company he helped build, and now he is kicking himself because someone else has taken a a job he could have ran.. o well..
I think LL should've called Jay and expressed his concerns. The subtle shots LL is taking arent smart. Jay could put LLs album on the back burner for a long time. He could release his album on christmas day 09. Nobody's shopping on Christmas.
all you jay z haters will believe LL but how can you said jay can'T run a record company when he founded and run ROC A FELLA so LL and his fans need to fine facts before you post dumb FUCKING commets
LL is right. LL is a legend. Even though his music isn't as good as it used to be he should be the one running the label cuz LL was the one that placed the label on the map!
I don't think the radio was the best place to do that. If he has shared is opinion with Jay already then no harm no foul. LL didn't want the job 10 years ago, and 10 years ago LL was doing alot of acting he was busy.... Jay wanted the job and Jay got it.... so what??? qualified??? if that is the case... LL is not a "qualified actor". He doesn't do a good job. If Jay Z doesn't have the Def Jam game down now... He will. I have faith in him.
LL should have retired from the game a long time ago..
i mean look at other vets who were in his era, most of them have retired but will be continued to be remembered for their contribution to the golden years as GOOD music.
now whats LL doin? makin half assed garbage albums that have absolutely no replay value at all. you should have retired a long time ago LL, because your earlier works were awesome. now u just sound like a pissed off rapper that nobody checks out for.
LL is still a good artist, just need producers. If he had the right producers, he still be on top. LL would smash just about any artist out here today in spitting lyrics.
LL is the man. He should keep goin just like when they tried to shut down hiphop when he was a kid, remember he kept it rollin with the few others to get to the jay zes.
why does he care? ll's rich, jay's ich, they both shoulda stayed retired, cant give a nigga shit. go enjoy your hard earned money and get off that arerogant ego shit!
LL hit the nail on the head. He's not dissin Jay as an artist but as a President he sucks. Just because he can rap and has sold a good amount of records doesn't make him qualified to be the President of Def Jam. Kobe Bryant is a good player but he's not Coach material. Jay should be a mentor not the President.
I agree with U one hundred percent. Just about every artist on Def Jam back when Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons ran it were smash hit makers and multi-platinum artists. With Jay, I really respect him as a artist...one of my favorite rap influences of all-time...but with him as president, Def Jam is not as dominant as it was when Rick and Russell ran it back then. It's one of the main reasons why DMX left. LL's doin' the same thing and, rumor has it, is signin' with Columbia.
If you listen to what he's saying, he's not dissing him, he doesnt think that he's qualified enough to run the show. He doensn't even think that he's qualified enough. I dont take this interview as hating...
That's garbage, Def Jam was the best selling label last year. Rappers ain't selling cause don't nobody want to hear that garbage anymore. i'm sick and tired of the coonery.
If LL respects Jay not only as a artist, but as a PERSON, he wouldn't have came on this radio show to disrepect him like that. I think LL is cool, but it's wrong to get on here to talk shit then retract it by saying, I respect him and I like his music". That's why he's not sellin any records.
C'mon dude. You can't be serious, how come artists that sold in the past aren't selling now? There were some albums on Def Jam that I didn't even see any advertising for. You can tell he was pushing fabolous and rihannna, but what about the roots, mef and redman, and many other examples. Are you saying that those guys can't rap?
Jayz is really qualified because he is a true hip hop star so what wrong is there if a hip hop star runs a hip hop business/company? managing his fellow hip hop brothers and sisters? if he was not qualified then they wouldnt have given him the job in the first place!
oh please no he didnt Dame could not handle it ...plus Jay-z was one of the founders of ROC he did not steal it. And he did not steal Def Jam from Russell Simmons or Kevin Liles for that matter!
Its a lil funny to me that Jay has had succes there @ Def Jam but people still hate on him, he has turned artist into house hold names for example Rhianna, NeYo, Rick Ross, Dream... he helped bring Nas over along with Fab so to act like this dude has not done a thing is totally wrong. In my eyes you shouldnt have to waste time and money promoting a LL or ghostface they have history there fans are gonna buy its the new acts u have to promote
With the comments made by U, pops2380, etc I have 2 say that ya'll gave me another way 2 look at the shit and I agree with U all now. I'm man enough 2 admit when I'm wrong.
Nan don't disrespect a legend like LL who paved the way for niggas like Jay-Z. Just bcuz LL doesn't have a label doesn't mean shit man. Every fuckin artist isn't going 2 have a label & every artist doesn't necessarily even want one. A lot of ppl don't even want 2 deal with that kind of stress and responsibility. A lot of artists don't even have time 2 keep up with a fuckin label so it takes a person who has time and patients 4 that shit.
Don't ever call LL a bitch bcuz there ain't shit BITCH about LL homie. U don't know what that dude has gone through at that label all U know is what U think U know which might not be shit but don't ever call LL A BITCH bcuz i'm sure U wouldn't call that man that shit in his face.
Man u on some ole goofy ass high school shit cus U ain't gonna call nobody a bitch in front of no fuckin body so kill all that internet thug bullshit. This dude will prolly knock every muthafuckin teeth in Ur mouth out so shut the fuck up nigga. Bitches have always loved LL & U mad cus a bitch like him? Man get that lame ass shit outta here. What nigga that ain't a fag gonna a have a problem with bitches liking him? Hoes spend money, niggas talk shit and don't spend a fuckin dime.
Feel free 2 stop actin like U an internet thug cus like I said this nigga will knock Ur muthafuckin teeth out ur mouth, simple as that. Like I said U don't know what the fuck went on or goes on at Def Jam, do U work there nigga? fuck naw U don't. So don't talk that hop off somebody dick shit 2 me faggot just bcuz I respect somebody don't mean i'm on their dick. those little lame ass comments like that don't work on me nigga so try something else.
You pussy ass nigga I ain't even about 2 get juvenile with a lame ass nigga like U because I can already tell what kind of fag ass bitch U R. Internet shit talker if I seen you face to face I wouldn't even hit you I'd just slap the livin shit out of your faggot ass like the bitch you are.
You lame ass nigga Ur little bootleg ass comic view comments are wack as a muthafucka so shut your pussy ass up nigga. Talkin fag shit only shows that U must can relate to faggit shit but I'll fuck Ur mother and make the bitch pay me nigga so don't talk that fag shit 2 me bitch. The only time I go in the closet is 2 get my muthafuckin jacket U pussy ass nigga. Only a faggot LMAO ass much as U do bitch. What the fuck U so happy about faggot? Happy you got some new dick or something bitch.
Another thing you dumb ass, you talkin bout 50 is LL's exec producer on his new album, so fuckin what. How is that something to laugh at dumb ass. There ain't 2 many rappers old or new school that has accomplished what 50 has accomplished so laughing at that is just fuckin stupid. Not even Jay-Z did what 50 did so what the fuck are you LYAO at dummy?
So what if the nigga took advantage of bitches liking him they liked the nigga from day 1 and he made songs 4 them from day 1 so what the fuck R U talkin about nigga? Hoes buy records, niggas just talk about records but they about to buy shit so why should LL give a fuck what a nigga like U thinks who ain't gonna buy shit anyway no matter who it is? Man get Ur young ass mind right and then talk shit.
I'm tired of everyone blaming Jay-Z. This is why people are called haters. Jay-Z is not the only one running Def Jam. LA Reid is there also running stuff. That is Jay-Z's boss. But you never hear LA Reid's name. Everything is always Jay-Z's fault
Look nigga, me hatin on Jay-Z should never be put in the same sentence because Jay happens to be my favorite mc right now so I ain't hatin on shit nigga I just tried to get tickets 2 the American Gangster Tour at the House of Blues in Chicago for 100 a pop so don't talk that HATIN shit to me Jay's my nigga but I was feelin LL's point. But U also made a point about nobody blaming La Reid, Ur absolutely right about that. Well both of them then, how about that?
Fuck yall Jay Z Fans talkin slick and MISSING the point!
What he's saying is REAL,REAL,REAL talk!
LL is speaking the REAL truth right there, Answer this..Cause LA REID signed Outkast does that mean REID can rap and put out an lp? What he is saying is 1000000000% on point, Only a fan would split the point to make it seem like he is a hater.
frank ski is a jay z dick rider, but ll is right about him not being experienced... just cause jay's a big name dosen't mean he's suited to run def jam
L you need to hit the brakes bruh Jay already said he's trying to let you live with all the slick talk you've been slinging at him. If Jay opens up on you it's gonna be a done d for reala!" you need to fall back to the base. Real Talk,Jack
First, I like LL but he's got some hating going on. Say what you want about Jay but look at the artist that help put out. Beanie Siegel, Freeway, DMX, etc. Who has LL helped to put out? No one. So therefore don't get mad if the new cat is doing his thing
JAY has helped UNIVERSAL continue to be the NUMBER 1 DISTRIBUTOR due to the Def Jam and Island Def Jam Music Group Imprint From Kanye To Fall Out Boy Plus Interscope Owned by Universal Music group One of the BIG FOUR so they got MONEY off KANYE AND 50 ALBUM TOGETHER! Just schoolin cats HOLLA!
okay LL is hatign right there! that is plain sour grapes...hu has to go to a radio station to say stuff like that unless they were jealous? he needs a life a lip balm.....
LL IS JEALOUS!! AND JAY IS BETTER THAN YOU....YOU GOT HITS, but you ain't JAY!!! And who tells a radio station that ish if they ain't hating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK OUTTA HERE!
Jay Z is my nigga and always will be but LL IS MY NIGGA AND ALWAYS WILL BE and on some real talk shit LL IS RIGHT. This ain't no hatin this is just some grown man real talk true shit. Period.
@tateavery21 "The original Constitution gave to Congress no power over the subject of religion or of education. The Blair Amendment proposes for the first time to give Congress such power. Where is this encroachment upon the rights of the States to stop?" -The Chicago Law Times By John Marshall
man ll stop bitching man someone of your caliber should'nt need relentless marketing if your last few album's sucked its because times have changed and no one really listens to you anymore or get with one of these producers and make you a hit
never had a job? never ran a label? lol. nah, homie. that's wrong. he ran his OWN label. being 1/3 of owner/manager of a successful label built from scratch doesn't qualify you?
No he hasn't ever ran a label just like LL said. First of all homie LL isn't gonna say some shit without thinkin about it first so 4 U 2 try 2 make LL eat his words only makes u look silly because lookin at the BIG PICTURE JAY-Z has never run a label. Rocafella records was pretty much just JAY-Z and JAY-Z didn't become the JAY-Z we know 2day until DEF JAM got involved so like LL said HE'S NEVER RUN A FUCKIN LABEL.
You cannont totally discredit Rocafella records. That "little independent shit" made Def Jam sign THEM to a historic first ever contract letting Jay/Dame/Biggs own their own masters. Rocafella Records was the king at one point during in the music industry. Even though I think Dame/Biggs did most of the work, fact of the matter is Jay-z HAS experience running a label.
Okay homie as I've told U I'm a huge Jay-Z fan all day but let's keep it funky right now. That little independent shit would've remained what it was had it not been 4 Kevin Liles givin Jay-Z a spot on the Nutty Professor soundtrack. Jay came at Kevin Liles with a brown paper bag full of cash money trying 2 buy his way but kev was like man U ain't gotta be on that street shit wit me i'mma give U 1 shot & that's how it went down.
Prior 2 Jay gettin that Nutty Professor sound track spot the industry wasn't even feelin Jay-Z, the nigga couldn't get a deal no where. It just so happens that the nigga got that shot and proved that he was worth more than any other nigga they had been dissin him 4 and the rest is history I guess. The nigga was scrambling & would've still been doin so had it not been 4 1 nigga giving him that big break.
LL you fool. Jay was the president of a label before he became the president of def jam. He already had plenty of experience running a record label. Maybe you forgot about the Roc, but it wasn't exactly a lemonade stand. Go put your cop badge back on and prepare for your next scene with Robin, black man.

never had a job? never ran a label? lol. nah, homie. that's wrong. he ran his OWN label. being 1/3 of owner/manager of a successful label built from scratch doesn't qualify you?
wtf1111111111 4 years ago
No he hasn't ever ran a label just like LL said. First of all homie LL isn't gonna say some shit without thinkin about it first so 4 U 2 try 2 make LL eat his words only makes u look silly because lookin at the BIG PICTURE JAY-Z has never run a label. Rocafella records was pretty much just JAY-Z and JAY-Z didn't become the JAY-Z we know 2day until DEF JAM got involved so like LL said HE'S NEVER RUN A FUCKIN LABEL.

Little independent shit doesn't count homie. LL knows exactly what the fuck he's talkin about.
illslogic 4 years ago
You cannont totally discredit Rocafella records. That "little independent shit" made Def Jam sign THEM to a historic first ever contract letting Jay/Dame/Biggs own their own masters. Rocafella Records was the king at one point during in the music industry. Even though I think Dame/Biggs did most of the work, fact of the matter is Jay-z HAS experience running a label.

Okay homie as I've told U I'm a huge Jay-Z fan all day but let's keep it funky right now. That little independent shit would've remained what it was had it not been 4 Kevin Liles givin Jay-Z a spot on the Nutty Professor soundtrack. Jay came at Kevin Liles with a brown paper bag full of cash money trying 2 buy his way but kev was like man U ain't gotta be on that street shit wit me i'mma give U 1 shot & that's how it went down.
illslogic 4 years ago
Prior 2 Jay gettin that Nutty Professor sound track spot the industry wasn't even feelin Jay-Z, the nigga couldn't get a deal no where. It just so happens that the nigga got that shot and proved that he was worth more than any other nigga they had been dissin him 4 and the rest is history I guess. The nigga was scrambling & would've still been doin so had it not been 4 1 nigga giving him that big break.
illslogic 4 years ago
I feel the same way U do, dog. Jay ran a SUB-LABEL. It doesn't really count as bein' qualified 2 runnin' a MAJOR label.
