After eight years, Warner Music Group announced that Lyor Cohen is leaving his position as Chairman/CEO. No word as to who will takeover, but it’s rumored former EMI CEO Roger Saxon will take position. Says Lyor:
To all the artists and employees who live and die for the music every day, and who personally sacrifice for the good of the creative process: ‘keep on keepin’ on’ in the tradition of a company that respects and honors the artistic community.”
Warner Music Group CEO Stephen Cooper added:
“Lyor Cohen has built something very special here. While we understand his desire to move on to his next challenge, the enduring success of our recorded music division will serve as a great testament to the progress we’ve made during Lyor’s time at WMG. We are grateful for Lyor’s contributions, and we wish him the best. I’m confident that given the strength of our talented management team in Recorded Music, we’ll be able to drive further success.”

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
The.. Lyor Cohen of Dior Homme

Damn, Warner is going to definitely feel this loss…….
Rumor has it Due to the success of MMG, Warner Executives are Pushing for Rick Ross to become the new Chairman/CEO of Warner Music Group.

@Frank Kid
IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY @ ME NIGGA !!
ENOUGH SNEAK DISSIN ….JUS @ A NIGGA
First Kevin Liles now Lyor Cohen. The only person left out of the magical trio is Julie Greenwald. I wonder if she’ll get his position.
cosign with @IamRealTalk.
due to the failure of self made vol. 2. And that terrible press conference. total sales around 250k. sad it had to be lyor cohen to take the fall.
I am pretty sure that Julie Greenwald wont be considered for this. Not because of her qualification but because she is a woman – things like that happen all the time, especially in this industry.
