*Thread title used to be "Jay Z = Best Record label president but I wanted it to be a discussion not a fuck Jay-Z forum *

All favoritism aside, dude is definately going to make sure his people sale.

He's been doing this, blessin' Bleek and Beans etc

But he's lookin out for his artist whenever their album aint doin shit i.e. Young Jeezy album, while it got acclaim from rap heads and magazines, wasn't doin shit on soundscan. So Jay jumps on the "Go Crazy" remix, killin it, and gettin more sales...my boy went and copped Jeezys album because of it (even tho it aint even on the LP, he still says it an ill CD)

Teirra marie (i aint lookin up her name to spell it right) Her song got played out quick, so he got on a remix of that

Diamonds got old, he jumped a verse on that

He's comin out wit that Azteck dude, new southern rapper, jumped on a new freetsyle with him, so you know kids gonna pay attention just by association, let alone get other rappers/producers to cosign

cause she's my goddess

Ani Difranco...Righteous Babe Records

kind of the icon of do-it-yourself record labels in that she rejected coorporate labels and started her own and now hosts 10 other artists from the folk genre

8/25/2005 2:57:59 PM

AND SHE'S THE ONLY PERSON EVAR TO DO IT.

8/25/2005 3:09:13 PM

didn't say she was the only one...she just gets a lot of press for her particular company and, as a fan , i can see/understand why

8/25/2005 3:13:47 PM
