I haven't messed with Spitta since the Independence Day mixtape... alright Shonta' you got my attention, let's see how you handle the spotlight.

Because resurrecting the Roc only to flop... well that would be

.

Let's hope that doesn't happen.

lulz...

 

[knowledgethefoundation]

Naw Jay is too rich to rekindle anything with broke *%# dame or broke *%# curren$y

 

[finessesosa]

theres something about this. I think he gonna get some strong spitters to build up the Roc and at least attempt to show what the Roc was all about.


He not trying to match what they did with the Roc before, its a new era.

how is dame "broke" don't you know that you have to PAY def jam to once again have da power to use that label?

dame had that roc chain in da damn attic collecting dust, if he was "broke" that joint would've been pawned quick.

 

[live boy d]

I bet dame sign the dips under the roc again. Jay-z is somewhere pissed off

 

[b smooth 202]

this doesn't seem right I was wondering why the $!!! I saw Currensy roc one.

I think Dame has made a smart decision. Spitta has a loyal fan base, and come to think of it, it wouldnt be a reach to get Wiz on his new "ROC" label since Spitta n Wiz are self proclaimed "BFFs". I could see the young dudes making big waves...

broke is a relative term...i mean not too long ago there were coming for his cars and condos...then his wife left and she was prob the bread winner at the time-

and what do you mean pay Def Jam?  He basically signed a deal with them to use it...he didn't buy it back from them or anything...it wasn't being used, def jam owns it...why not let Dame run with it...if he makes it pop they all profit-  if anything it had to hurt him to have to do that...you know he has ill feelings toward Def Jam and now he gotta work under them again...

and

@ Jay owing - the tours popped off and the artists under RocNation are being developed still...aint nobody expect J Cole to being a multi plat artist in the time since they signed the deal...

 

[L7oser]

what if everyone signs back to the Roc but Jay?????

Not sure about Dame's wife being the bread winner. Dame owns a substantial part of that company. But divorce and child support will take their toll on him. 
Plus, just because Dame wasn't putting out records doesn't mean he wasn't making residual paper from his Roc days. As it's been widely noted, he does on the master to Reasonable Doubt. 

I figured this would be getting $#%# on in here. I'm surprised it's not. 

It's a smart move to take control of that established brand again. 

And remember, Roc A Fella didn't start out on top of the world. Those dude's struggled through the "In My Lifetime" days. %%$*#% deals getting offered to them before they hit the homerun with "Ain't No $#$+%". 

Most people say Foxy saved Jay. And Jay don't seem to $!*$ with her no more either.......

the Rachel part was kinda facetious but it prob wasn't off by much...

And I was disagreeing with the "broke" part...i mean compared to Jay-z yea he was broke....but not compared to most NTers....

lastly i dont know about the "established brand" thing - i mean nobody is buying records anymore off the strength of what label its on...if people rock with currency they'll cop but somebody is not gonna just see Roc-a-Fella and give it a chance ....

again more power to him...but i see this as a move aimed at irritating jay more than anything...he was doing his little "blac- roc" indy thing...now hes back up under Def Jam-

we'll see...interesting to see how it works out...the website is prob dated but it still lists Jay Z, Jadakiss, Kayne, and Beans as roc artists

Argue with me on NT...

But ANYway, I'm all for Dame rebuilding his name and brand, but could he have found a more BORING artist to do it with??  I mean Currensy & Big Sean are runnin neck & neck for the MOST boring cats out there...

  

 

[kickzny96]

I'm excited for Dame hopefully he has his screws bolted on tight this time he's got a lot riding now. Plus i'm a big fan of Curren$y, but he can't afford to fail this time around like they say 3rd times a charm...hope it rings true for him

and that Wiz move would be dope i could use a whole album that sounds like How Fly - In the Middle is the perfect example

 

[rocyaice]

I skimmed through the thread and didn't see it answered but who the hell is Jadakiss signed to? I'm looking at my Jada cd case and it says Rocafella Records? The hell?

 

[harlem on the rise]

That's what confused the hell out of me...

Talk about havin BAD luck with record labels

Yea I saw you ask it on the 1st page and skimmed through and didn't see it answered. I never understood why Jada wasn't on Roc Nation to begin with but how the hell is this going to work out for him? I wonder does Jay even have anything to do with Jada? His album says Rocafella but I wonder did Jay even hear that album or give any input?
