    Sha did his thing, before Def Jam seem to only wanna focus on Ross. Only thing I wasn’t feeling was him signing Asher Roth

  3. Chris says:

    Seems like mayor players are leaving Def Jam like it’s a sinking ship.

  4. JustMyOpinion says:

    And so the Def Jam ship continue to sink. Bail while you.

    Wait…..he takes credit for the artist formerly known as Titty Boi? Only in rap can you change your name and act as if you’re not the same person. Wack.

  5. JustMyOpinion says:

    To be clear, I think 2 Chainz is a terrible rapper. My last comment might have gave the impression that I support his wackness.

    First it was LA Reid, then Joie Manda, now Sha Money XL. Def Jam better not put alot of $$$ into William’s “Mastermind” album. Remember the GD’s WONT let William tour cities so he can make his $$.

    Pop rap music as a whole(which is what Def Jam somehow became.. I guess it started around the time those video games came out) is not even worth denouncing anymore.. Its just the same level as Justin Bieber without the youth or some shit.
