Well JAY aint Prez no more, but he did do a good job without dame,but alot of the older acts dont feel him for not poshing them as much as he does with his picks. But lets keep it real, was they HOT ? REDMAN.GHOSTFACE,LL
DMX,METHOD MAN,I FEEL THAT HE WOULDNT PUSH LL.
they always had words, but the rest of them. Why wouldnt he push DMX, that was his man, am asking cause if you was PREZ, and you had acts, its about bizz, not friendship. its about dollars, and your an hot Mc yourself.
Its not that easy to make evrybody happy,
someone will be like, FUCK HIM. THATS just whats its about, WHO MAKES MONEY, AND WHO DOESNT ANYMORE. HOW WOULD YOU ACT, IF YOUR RUN WAS OVER.

Wow. I remember this forum. Man, times have changed. Jay isn’t PRESIDENT anymore! Like he cares. If I was one of the richest black guys on earth, I wouldn’t care, either.

Damn dog where’s your professionalism.You sound like one of those bitches that Jigga fucked but didn’t get no paper. You Mad? You Maaad!
Fab sold more than Cam ever did. Nas album was 1 of his best in years but I’m sorry DMX is a crack head where is he relevent in the Game. Sure some artist don’t drop when they should but if I was an artist why would I want to drop when there is no Buzz about my work…It’s called development,Def Jam and other majors are severly lacking that. Now let’s be real what other label is stacked with talent like Def Jam maybe 1 and they didn’t sell more than Def Jam last year. Dude get some journalism skills why is XXL allowing you shovel hate instead of what’s real…This shit is starting to remind me of The Source.

the nigga that wrote this shit got a point because since jay retired who had helped down the rocafella inprint none other than kanye west not memphis bleek jays right hand or next in line or the ravenous beanie siegel or the young gunz but kanye… i mean at the same time the lyrics gotta be there and so does the marketing part thats where jay plays a major part but i must admit bleeks’ album was a failure but the young gunz sophomore cd was way better than that bullshit they put out at first but hey sorry jay i love you man no homo but hey like you said men lie, women lie, numbers dont and you and kanye or the only two performing miracle numbers…. but fab gonna bring his in too so dont worry bout that 1

Byron is the one smoking rock. Ghostface was dope twice this year. I see youve lost hold of what hip hop is all about. Maybe Jay-Z should sign that commercial pop shit artist to satisfy your hunger for shit. I know, I know…. selling units is what a label is all about, but you still get an F.

Hip Hop grades you: F

The Dumb nigga that wrote this should go read up on the conglomeration of the media. I wish he knew that there is basically only 5 or less major record labels in the music industry. He should take his own advice and fire his self.

Hahahahahahaha!!! Brilliant. It’s a shame that the washed up old ass rappers that can no longer sell units lash out at Jay-z. He may be Hova, but he is no miracle worker.

Def Jam couldn’t do any thing with the Meth and Red saga and that’s before jay-z. Memph Bleek is… Memph Bleek is…Wack and jay know that so as long as he’s alive he’s a millionair.And as far as jay is concerned this is all payback for makeing the rock wear those damn Def Jam coats on the Show dvd.

Now you gotta ask yourself when was the last time you cared about how much an artist gross for his/her company before you bought the album.This aint very Hip Hop.

XXL does need better writers that can conduct better research and produce higher quality literary pieces. Fire this guy and hire 10 chimps, and watch them produce this same garbage article with the same grammar mistakes and missing words if you sit them in front of a couple of typrwriters for a few hours.

Sure, there are problems with the labels because of egos. The same thing happen in any business. A lot of artists never sell records to their full potential simply because the labels aren’t doing their jobs. Period. It is not always the fault of the artist because their album does not sell. The label bears a lot of responsibility for proper marketing and advertising, and a lot of labels do not do it….and so the artist sees low sales, then the label wants to drop them. The labels need to wake up and hire decent A&R’s that do something other than party and run up expense accounts trying to play with the real ballers.

XXL Mag is poor. They should focus on getting better hip-hop to the public than hating on Jay-Z. That Bleek comment is mad disrespect, and its a shame because this is one of the only few magazines we have and it’s articles are garbage. And you can’t spend promotional money on artist with no commercial appeal. But I do admit Meth could have been promoted better. And im not blastin XXL for this article, I’m doing it because they need to help promote better Hip-Hop.
