In a recent interview with MTV, LL Cool J aired out some of his frustration’s toward Jay-Z’s way of running Def Jam.
He first said that Jay-Z didnt have the experience to be head of Def Jam:
“I just don’t feel like he had the necessary experience to do that job,” LL states. “I don’t’ know any other record company that he worked for where he learned how to run this business.”
He then said that although he was happy at first to have Jay-Z as the president things turned sour:
“The bottom line is – you gotta do your job man! And if you don’t know how to do your job then maybe universal needs to pay you the money you deserve as an artists and give somebody who really knows the job, the job.”
He went on to speak on Jay’s new album American Gangster and the artist’s situation on it:
“Let’s take this soundtrack for instance, shouldn’t there be other Def Jam artists on this soundtrack,” he asks.
“Shouldn’t this be the big Def Jam pr

We all know Jay-Z is a pimp. In fact, he had a hit song about the heights his pimping has achieved. A few years back, when he took over Island Def Jam Records, many figured hed reached the top of the heap, the biggest pimp in the world now in charge of a seminal hip-hop label. A questionable recent hire, however, has Jay-Z packing up his pimp sack and heading for another party...

System: X360, PS3Dev: EA ChicagoPub: Electronic ArtsRelease: March 6, 2007Players: 1-2ESRB Rating: MatureWhen Def Jam Vendetta was announced, many gamers were skeptical. The idea of rappers as fighters or wrestlers seemed hokey at best. However, for the most part, the game was well received, and the sequel made strides that made the game even more accepted, so its next-gen iteration was highly anticipated. Def Jam Icon has finally arrived, and while it has made some great improvements in some areas, it has also made some serious mistakes in others, making a game that shows, but doesn't fulfill, its potential.Icon puts you in the shoes of a fighter/future record label exec as he climbs the ranks of the record industry. Initially, you can create your fighter, customizing his appearance, fighting style, height, and weight. After finalizing your character you can use him in the Build-A-Label mode, which is basically the story mode. Instead of the fairly far-fetched story of rappers fist-f

I know y’all know who this guy is, especially if you’ve been reading Think2wice for a while. We’ve been following him since his debut as a featured artist on Jay-Z’s “Dig A Hole” from his album Kingdom Come. And now, homeboy has a recording contract with Def Jam records, and is on the verge of blowing up! Earlier today, Mike posted Sterling’s new video Nasty Girl, and ironically, just hours later, my good friend Amina over at Thinktank Marketing sent us an invitation to interview Sterling Simms himself next week!

Beyonce and Jay-Z were having a great time cheering on the Nets as they went up against the Knicks last night at MSG.The two have quite an investment in the Nets - Jay-Z is a partial owner while Beyonce's House of Dereon designed the cheerleaders' outfits.Page Six is reporting that Jay-Z is interested in partnering up with his girl even more and we're not talking wedding rumors. He wants to bring B from Sony over to Def-Jam records.He would love to oversee her career - he kind of does anyway," an insider told Page Six. But it could also just be a ploy to get Sony to pony up more money to Knowles."Sony has had a bad year - all the hit acts, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and the 'American Idol' kids, are all on BMG," our source said. "They can't afford to lose Beyoncé. They'll probably mortgage the farm to keep her. Which means a lot more money for Beyoncé - and Jay-Z if they get married."
