thread is fantastic
let me get something off my chest concerning IllPhillip.
Now....in my younger yrs on NT (been here since I was 14ish...23 now...do the math)....I felt dude was very condescending and rude...and used to +#@@ on us young and not so knowledgable about this business dudes........
now once I decided I wanted to be a part of the industry myself (always loved hip hop/got a late start etc)...I got an internship...and got my eyes opened to a lot of +#@@. I totally see why he comes off how he does...I respect it...a lot of knowledge in there....some of the words are fiery cause there sure is a lot of %%%%+%*$ behind the scenes...(I totally understand not wanting to read *$#+%!+ and misinformed BS)..and people who definitely dont care as much as you do. Much respect Phillip.
and shout out to K aka BlackMagnus too but we'll save that story for when I make it.

When that line actually meant something.
We need more ppl like Irv in those offices. Too bad Hip Hop is at a point where profit > passion. Whats even sadder is fans with that mindset.

"Second to none" is an expression. It doesn't really mean LITERALLY second best.Originally Posted by ninjahood

You going to look at those names I put up and act like Loud hands down had a better roster?
Why? Because you love 90's rap? Which label had a better roster is debateable. #+*+, you could throw Tommy Boy in the mix and there would be no right answer.
But none of that was the point.
Yo Robby, I appreciate the kind words. Again, I know my personality is abrasive. When I fight, I fight to win.
And yes, a lot of it has to do with people thinking they know so much when they have no LEGIT experience.
Like, I try not to talk about things I don't know much about. So when I see people make what I believe are outlandish statements with such confidence and arrogance, and just spreading foolishness, my reactions will be strong.

The new president of Def Jam- Joie Manda
The new president of Def Jam- Joie Manda
[color= rgb(128, 128, 12]“Running Def Jam is the greatest challenge of my career and I am appreciative to Barry Weiss for his faith in appointing me to this position. I’m excited to work alongside Steve Bartels, who is one of the most talented music execs in the business and who has played such an important role in building the IDJ team. The Def Jam artist roster has always been synonymous with the greatest in hip-hop, and I intend to carry that tradition into the future.[/color]

Irv wasn't gonna get that gig. Guys like Irv and Dame just won't get gigs like that at this point. They've kind of burned themselves politically.
Joie came from Warner Brothers. He was Head of Urban Music there. They've been on the come up lately. MMG is Warner. Warner signed Currency. Theophilus.
He started at Asylum I believe. Which is Gucci, Waka. Boosie.
He worked under Todd Moscowitz, President of Asylum (when it existed) and now WB, who used to work for Lyor and Russell.
