Busta Rhymes Inks New Deal, Jay Z Starts Yet Another Label?

by JOKESTA

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2008

Busta Rhymes Inks New Deal

New York rapper Busta Rhymes has inked a new deal with record label Universal Motown.

Rhymes, who was recently released from Dr. Dre's Aftermath records will join fellow rappers Lil Wayne and Chamillionaire on the mega label.

According to reports, the "Don't Touch Me" hitmaker has signed an agreement to release his eight studio album entitled "Blessed," on December 9th under the powerhouse label.

"Blessed," which was originally scheduled to hit stores in early July,  will feature contributions from Linkin Park, Dr. Dre, Green Lantern, Cool & Dre, Nottz, Timbaland and Pharrell.

 Jay Z Starts Yet Another Label?

In related news, Hip Hop rapper and mogul Jay-Z is rumored to be starting a new record label with Norwegian producers STARGATE.

Jay-Z is alleged to have teamed up with the beatmaking duo, consisting of Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen, to form StarRoc.

The deal is said to have come about after Stargate, who have produced hits such as Beyonce's Irreplaceable and Ne-Yo's So Sick, relocated their studio to Jay-Z's Roc The Mic studios in Manhattan, New York.

At press time, the relation of this project with Jay-Z's Roc Nation was unknown.

I fux with Dr. Dre hardbody, ain’t no Producer alive that touch dudes body of work, money can give you that mainstream pop-bubble ish with a street edge to it Look at that EVE joint with Gwen Stephan, or that Mary J joint ft Eve ‘Not today’...damn the beat is bananas. But let Dre still can give you that Gully ish, Gin & Juice, Dre Day etc….ok now with all that said,…Dr. Dre is a bad record exec,…sorry I said it.
Like I said I fux with dude hardbody, but he needs to get his priority in order, how many artists are gona just walk away from his Label?
Here’s a list of Mc Dre had in his stable;
• Busta Rhymes : duke gave him the Big Bang shit was fi-ya,…now he’s getting shit on
• Joell Ortiz : This shit is crazy, how can he let him walk away? He the nicest ish since microwave popcorn
• Eve : I wont blame this on Dre, she was the shit back when she had short blond hair (tru strory), the min she grew her shit, so did her attitude, bitch went Hollywood,…so there, Dre dropped her. I hope he at least tapped that, cuz that’s mad disappointing if he just let her walk away with his advance money
• Raekwon : OH Lord, this was where ‘only built 4 Cuban lynx II’ was gona come from, Dre & Rza banging out to unearthly beats,…Sad Dre, Sad Raekwon could have knock this out the park.
• The Game : The Fuck he did dude dirty for? Wow Game is even from his old hood, the dude drops his name in every fucken 16, he even named his 2nd album in your honor,..Damn Dre, you a dirty nigga
• Rakim: The god, wow this I wont even touch this, it’s like the packers shitin on Bret Favre,…wow Dre you fucked up.
• Truth Hurts; c’mon the bitch was desent had a big hit with Rakim on it, DJ quick,…hell I even copped the album it was fiya.
• Hittman : This is the main reason Detox been on hold, This guys was the next big thing, he wrote plenty on Dre last album, made more ft then any other artist on 2001,…

R you guys stupid...I can't believe what I am hearing. AFTERMATH don't need anyone except EMINEM. Thats it. No one other then 50 really made that big of an impact anyway. As soon as Eminem drop, millions will come flying through the door and it doesn't matter what he release cause its going to be sic. Yes he my fav rapper but that not why I'm saying this. Im just letting it be known that niggas really is not in any kind of drought. Come on people think before you post on here. HOVA coming out this YEAR... DAMN ANOTHER CLASSIC. GREATEST RAPPER EVER GOES TO J.A.Y-Z. Chamillitery with busta...VERy NICE.

Once a 1st single for Detox drops, im literally gunna flipout. I'm so hyped for that shit. It better be hot if its gunna take this long to drop. Even if eminems single drops, im gunna be madd excited that someones finally droppin some shit. Lets watch Eminem come back and shit on everyone. And lets watch Dre come back and make musical history.

That's good Busta moving on.......he was wit Dre for a while.......but he should've started his own label! Dre always finds new artist with swag and flow......50 & Em was both history in the making! Big shoutz to Aftermath & RIP to Lil Dre! Hova at this point can do what he wants his moves are those of a BUSINESSMAN!

if all these niggas keep walkin out on aftermath dre gonna see the same outcome that death row had. maybe if they would promote their artists albums and actually release them and not puch them back they wouldnt keep signin new deals with other companies. im a huge dre and eminem fan but dre cant run a label he fucked up death row and he bout to fuck up aftermath unles he get these albums out especially his own, eminems album, and he shouldve really pushed for joell ortiz album and raekwons cuban lynx 2 they both would be classics.
