For all intense purposes in his role with Jay Z at the time, Irv Gotti would be considered a lobbyist.
Fam he was an A&R, his job was to bring talent to thelabel... Reasonable Doubt wasn't orginally released via Def Jam... Irv made that happen, as he did with getting him on the Nutty Professor Sndtk... Callinhim a *%%@*$ lobbyist...
Irv Gotti isn't/aint as well known as Em or Dre. Now do you want to sit up here and tell me otherwise.
Well known?? Do you mean he isnt as "famous" or recognizable?? Well of course not, are we talking about fame tho?? When it comes todoing his job behind a desk @ a record label he is one of the MOST respected in Hip Hop/R&B to this day... His track record more thanspeaks for itself... If you wanna down play his role in resurrecting Def Jam then you're beyond a fool (which has been concluded long ago)...
Irv was the one throwing his weight around havin 50 black balled for a good amount of time... & he's one of Lyor Cohen's guys... Now both Dre andEm are more recognizable (famous) than Lyor too, but are you willing to tell me they are more powerful??
Small portion of his bio... This line just caught my eye
By this point, (2000-02) Gotti had risen to Dr. Dre-like proportions in the rap industry. He was more than a producer; he was a hitmaker, and for a while, he made headlines regularly.

Duece King always want to change history to support his ******ed arguments...
I'm still waitin for you to explain how "Interscope > Def Jam" @ that particular time... I wanna hear this one, champ...

Dr. Dre : "hmmm....get him on a plane."
50 cent mania had already taken over NYC, along with diplomats and d-block, except 50 cent was da only one doin wit as a free agent, you gotta be a complete ****** NOT to
sign him at that time....AND not to mention duke was already turning down deals before he saw da shady/aftermath deal.

Aight Nay, it's obvious I'm not going to change your opinion on the matter just like your not going to changemines. You have provided sources and facts to back up your claim just like I have. It's not like you ask me who the better guard was between Isiah Thomasor Moggsy Bogues, and I said Moggsy Bogues, your original question could have went either way. We'll just call this a draw, no sense in either of us goingin circles and repeating ourselves. It is what it is.
You said "MAN enough". That's what happened.
This old man at it again. I thought you said you were finished withthis thread remember......................
There's nothing left for me to say here. Looks like everyone's already said it for me.
You say that only to post a few days later, SMH. I knew you were FRAUD status illphillip and this just proved it. Either that or your suffering from alzheimer's, but it's definitely one or the other...........one of the other for sure.
because dude would rather address the fluff than actually address any real questions he's presented. Does it everytime
Using absolutes are we??

No...
Hes going harder than anybody in these anti HOV threads....
Maybe...
But thats okay since most people agree with him.
I'm just stating facts... Why wouldn't they agree with me??

Cmon fam, people can interpret/twist facts however they choose.
You sprinkled a few facts in with your HOV is a coward or a devil rhetoric.
But thats not nearly enough to hide your obvious disgust for HOV.
But thats your right as i said earlier.
Its just your attempt to make it look like you really give a damn about these people he beefs with thats laughable.
If HOV got into a beef with MC.HAMMER you would be in here saying how JAY wouldnt have a career if CANT TOUCH THIS WASNT A HIT...
Sounds silly, but if you try hard enought you may find a few facts to back you up.

Thats what Duece King has been doing... I've spent the majority of my time correcting him...
You sprinkled a few facts in with your HOV is a coward or a devil rhetoric.
A few facts??... I see where this isheaded
But thats not nearly enough to hide your obvious disgust for HOV.
I think I've treated Jay Z quite fair...
Its just your attempt to make it look like you really give a damn about these people he beefs with thats laughable.
When have I claimed to care more for person (A) opposed to person (B)?? I'm just pointin out the fact that Jay Z a backstabbing, bloodsucking,money hungry, spineless coward (amungst other things)... Does that make me a bad guy for stating such...??
If HOV got into a beef with MC.HAMMER you would be in here saying how JAY wouldnt have a career if CANT TOUCH THIS WASNT A HIT...
More than likely if this were to EVER happen, it would more than likely be started on Jay's end... I had Please Hammer Don't Hurt'em on cassettetape and I also had the movie... Further more, I find it completelyIRONIC that you'd use Hammer as an example, where as he went broke helping out his people, Jay Z got FILTHY rich screwing his people over...

I've always wondered do people realize that they're calling another GOD seriouslyOriginally Posted by Master Zik
I'm still amazed this camel got ppl calling him Hov. You'd think all his fans are godless/non-god-fearing individuals which we know isn't true.
Applaud him
