Y’all thought Def Jam was screwed before?!! They would be better off with LA than this cat Barry Weiss. This is the dude that had The Clipse on the backburner, handcuffed Big Boi (as Enigma pointed out), had Mobb Deep when they were still semi-hot and couldn’t move any units and if I’m not mistaken, he was there when A Tribe Called Quest broke up because their deal with the label was so wack.
Def Jam’s corporatre daddies officially don’t care about Def Jam or Hip-Hop in general. You really think they’re going to do their research and find someone who is really in tune with Hip-Hop music and culture to take the spot? All they see is the bottom line. The cat that should have got the position is Irv Gotti. LL, Redman, Meth, Ghost, any of those veterans that’s still signed there need to start packin’, for real.

Reid and got a deal at Def Jam. Now the same CEO at Jive that held up Big Boi’s album is now head of Def Jam. LOL Pure fuckery! Well maybe we can finally get a real Outkast recard. Its been 11 fuckin’ years now.
SN: The Love Below/Spearkerboxx were two solo albums and Idlewild was a soundtrack. I want an authentic Outkast album. smh

Hip-Hop has taken a serious blow while he tried to lead Def Jam. Maybe now Def Jam will seriously seek a die-hard hip-hop head to lead it. Reid did waaay too much damage to the house that Russell built.
