Jay-Z Resigns as President of Def Jam
Even my dad mentioned this to me today.
Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter will step down as Def Jam Records president when his contract expires this year, he and Universal Music Group announced today (Dec. 24). The rapper will continue to record for Roc-A-Fella, the label he co-founded in 1996, which is part of the Universal-distributed Island Def Jam Music Group.

Here’s the fun part. If you could elect anyone in hip-hop to replace Jay, who would it be?
Hmmmm…. with people like Ghostface, LL, Redman on a label alongside Jeezy and Rihanna..

26 grammy nominations LMAO
Like that means anything. Winning a “Hip-Hop” grammy means nothing. Let me ask you a question, how many of those albums that got nominated would you actually listen to?
