Jay Z Puts An End To Rumors Of Def Jam Depart

by JOKESTA

SUNDAY JULY 29, 2007

New York rapper Jay Z missed a scheduled interview appearance with Hot 97’s Angie Martinez this past week, however he did take the time to call into the radio station to discredit rumors of his depart from Def Jam once his contract is up.

The rumors, which have varied from Jay creating his own label with Beyonce to a joint venture with Apple, reached a boiling point last week after reports of him moving to Columbia Records were allegedly confirmed by a source close to the rapper.

“If they don’t kick me out the building [I will be there next week],” Jay told Angie when asked if he’ll still be with Def Jam.

“I’m always looking at what’s the next move, but I like what I’m doing, I like where I’m at. I’m nowhere near that. That’s the papers, they are ahead of me,”” He Continued.

You can listen to the partial interview below.

Jay is wack now. No one can stay in their prime forever, because you will always try to out do yourself in every attempt to stay hot thus abandoning everything that made you hot in the first place.

I cant't believe niggas iz saying Jay Da God MC is wack. Are u serious? Half deez industry niggas bit his swag, including da codeine poppin/slash cokehead Weezy please dont forget da Baby lol..........Get da fuck outta here.........
But far az da topic goes, don't nobody gives a fuck if Hov leaves defjam. Because 75% of da artists on def jam aint gettin da right promotion or even a video. For examples The Roots, Method Man, Red Man, Ghostface last albums etc. Them muthafuckas need Lyor Cohen n Russell Simmons back.

Okay I'm from da south and I think Jay was an okay artist but not a good look for da eastcoast as da president of a major label. I see someone everyday say something about our southern artist killing hiphop with our style. But the president of da biggest label in hiphop history is almost only promoting southern artist but other artists on da label like Nas, Redman, Method Man, and the Roots go straight to the stores with no promotions by Jay. Jay-Z is da reason why yall style of hiphop is dying not the south. Blame yall falloff on yall King of New York himself Jay-Z.

YO EVERYBODY I EVER MET THAT SAID JAY-Z WAS WACK, NEVER FULLY LISTENED TO HIS ALBUMS. IF YOU JUST GO OFF THE SINGLES OR FAST FORWARD THROUGH HIS MUSIC THEN, WELL U STILL COULDNT CALL HIM WACK BUT YOU DON'T GET THE FULL EFFECT. I THINK NAS GOT SKILLS BUT I CAN'T LISTEN TO A FULL NAS ALBUM NOT SINCE "IT WAS WRITTEN". JAY JUST CONSISTANT WITH HIS SHIT.
