Black Thought of The Roots Unhappy with Def Jam

by JOKESTA

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18, 2006

It seems like the latest trend in Hip Hop is to bash Def Jam. In a recent interview with MTV, rapper Black Thought of the world renowned group The Roots said
“I’m critical of Def Jam too and the way it’s run. I’m just trying to fulfill my obligation, work hard and keep it movin’. Sometimes you got too much on your plate: When you should be concentrating, your focus is elsewhere. But I’m no diva about it, you have to be self-sufficient with any label.”

First Dmx and Camron leave the label, then LL Cool J and Method Man complain about the lack of promotion their records were given and now this.Looks like Mr. Carter should be concentrating on the label rather than his tours and album.
