Is anyone surprised? I’m not. Honestly, I thought the postion was one of those glorified A&R type things anyway. Jay needs to stick to rapping–the whole thing reminds me of when Michael Jordan tried to manage the Wizards. [...]

For the artist that have been in da game 4 a minute, if the label aint promoting u how u think they should, then u gotta promote urself. Jay did wat he did while at Def Jam. now its time 4 him 2 move on. But while he was there, they had success. Luda, Jeezy, Fab, Nas, Ne-yo, Rihanna. Thats about it. yea people were sleepin on Ghostface & Method Man. But shyt u cant just sit back n expect 2 get pampered as far as promotion. Its the bench players not gettin their P/T. Ok now dat Jay gone, these otha players can get in da game n shine. So lets see if u can really shine or u gon continue 2 blame others.

Jay was only good promoting himself. People like Red and Meth missed out big time, with some very strong albums. Due to lack of promotion, they flopped.
