		<description>Scott Skiles got fired, not getting a contract renewed isnt getting fired. When you ask for a specific dollar amount and your employer refuses then terms cannot be met, thats it. But fuck the legal talk, im sure he wont need to collect unemployment anytime soon. 

&quot;If you owe me ten dollars you aint given me nine&quot;</description>

		<description>All you Jay-Z fans need to shut the fuck up and learn how to ead and listen. That nigga didn&#039;t &quot;step down&quot;, his PR put that SPIN on it. It&#039;s called getting fired and the rumors that he will be fired have been out for a least a year. He and Beyonce just pay A LOT of money to all the right publicists to control the media like all big celebrities. I can&#039;t WAIT till the truth REALLY starts comming out about this dude, but no one will probably listen cuz he has so many under his media spell lol.

For the record, LL don&#039;t give a fuck if HE ever sells again, he was just trying to be the voice for the little people. Who would want to stand around and watch the house that they helped build with their own hands crumble without a word?  But, since you all think of Jay-Z is a &quot;God MC&quot; or better yet, just a GOD you all didn&#039;t hear what LL was saying. You all are worse than the Jewish media trying to take down Will Smith for saying something that makes a lot of sense.

JAY Z IS A RAPPER, NOT A BOSS!!! And he hasn&#039;t had a DOPE ASS album since The Blueprint. Since then, everything he has dropped been mediocre at best. His OWN rap career is  still sailing off the hype of Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint and Hard Knock Life Vol 2 cuz those are the ONLY mentionables in his catalogue of 7 or 8 albums IMHO.

None of the artists that complained are expecting to go platinum in THIS industry when superstars like Jay, and 50 are struggling to go platinum. Hell, why do you think Detox hasn&#039;t dropped? Dre doesn&#039;t know if he wants to re-enter this fuckin industry. It&#039;s bullshit and no one knows what good music is, but the expectations for him are still there. 

But when your BOSS drops an album in the 4th quarter 2 YEARS IN A ROW after retiring and you  have an album that isn&#039;t being properly promoted GOOD OR NOT then WTF are you supposed to feel like? And some of these dudes came from Rocafella and didn&#039;t learn their lesson there and repeated the same unsuccessful patterns at Def Jam under the SAME FUCKIN DUDE. That is not loyalty, that is just plain STUPID. Jay only looked out for Jay on The Roc and wouldn&#039;t even SIGN someone who he thought even had the potential to be better artist than him ie Dame signed Kanye West as an artist, so WTF did they think was gonna happen when they dropped the Roc and were souly on Def Jam with dude?  


Jay is a master manipulator. He only deals with people he can convence and believe he is smarter and trust that he knows better than they do. People who believe he is a genius. He is NO genius. He just learns faster and learned EARLY how to surround himself with the right people. Jay was already a grown man when Reasonable doubt dropped and that makes a HUGE difference in the learning curve he posesses too. He even has Beyonce saying &quot;he is so smart&quot; but she is brick dumb and we all know it so you have to consider the source LMAO. People WAKE UP. This dude gets an FF. And I don&#039;t think he should take any credit for Rick Ross cuz he was already a well known ghostwritter and Ne-Yo wrote HITS before Def Jam so they don&#039;t count. They were obvious signees.</description>

		<description>please look at the job the music industry has done and I would say compared to what other labels have done during his tenure....A-/B  due to the fact that every label is gonna have flops (yes even interscope does to) but if you look at the albums he exectutive-produced and really had hands on work in they&#039;ve done pretty well....and honestly speaking L.A reid is the reason Def Jam is going R</description>
