...Well partially. In an interview with VH1, Hov finally addressed the questions that have been voiced by inquiring minds who want to know (myself included) why he's brewing competition amongst the Def Jam roster:
"The funny thing about Def Jam is when people say, 'How can you put out an album and promote [other records] at the same time?' The amount of albums that come out of Def Jam and always come out of Def Jam is like 60 albums in a year. There is an extraordinary amount of work; it's not like my album is any different. When people say, 'How can you put an album out?' I say, 'Well it worked for [former Def Jam CEO] Lyor [Cohen]. It made Lyor look like a genius, it should make me look like a genius too!'"The best moment in Def Jam's history, well the one that I can recall, is when Lyor was going to sell the company for maybe $80 or $90 million. Then one month, Lyor put out [albums] by myself, Ja Rule and DMX, everyone did great. I think there's something to be said about a company and having synergy and having energy and having a bunch of artists come out at the same time. I think that works also."
"All the great runs was when artists came out back-to-back. When No Limit had their run and Bad Boy had their run and Death Row had their run it was more than one artist doing it. So I just think it makes only logical sense. I think people pick at [my album coming out] because I guess it's an opening. But we're still doing our thing, number one market share, I don't know how much more can we do. We'll do more but I don't know what's higher than number one."
Okay fair enough. But the issue, however, is not solely the fact that he's coming out with an album...whatever. What he needs to explain is why The Roots didn't get anything close to the kind of marketing he's receiving now? Can he explain why Black Thought said The Roots only owe Def one more album? Can he explain Method Man's situation? And why did he hastily step in front of Nas and let his album get pushed back?
As far as the "Lyor Cohen formula," we'll see how far this goes, being that Jay is the "opening act." Only time will tell.
And by the way, I'm pretty sure that Hov's new "Damon Dash dis," "Lost Ones," will be circulating hard within the next 12 hours ...
1st I'm first....power to the Sohh Blog!!Hopefully Hov will be the 2nd Def Jam Genious he wishes to be!!!!
I'm still not feeling any tracks of Kingdom Come !
P.S. Fuck whoever is FIRST on this blog
LOL ^^^^^ your P.S. was type funny...Anyways, JAy is that dude !!! Its simple. His joint is gonna KILL Every RAP ablum this year, till NAS drop...Remember ROOTs ablum was on Def Jam Left, witch was like a Indie type joint...I think it was a Dope ablum but didnt get the Right PR for it...Jay has a Master Plan and it's gonnna work out..WATCH !!
Bk all day !! Gatbush aka Home of the Dolla Van !!
40th is the Movement !!!
I think Hov is a in the same boat as Puff. He's not secure enough to sit back and chill and let the game take it's course like it needs to. I agree with you Reckless where was the promotion for the Roots? Why is Kanye so unhappy over there? I am not impressed by the songs he has dropped and I think it's ashame that he's going to go out Like LL. He'll go with more money but he doesn't even have the hunger anymore. As far as Nas being pushed back goes, Nas's tracks that I have for his Album are incredible it doesn't even matter who goes first in that matter. Classic material. I think Jay may end up being the emperor with no clothes.
I heard the lost ones track it sounds terrible I hope thats not an album cut. Its this one site that keeps leaking all of the Kingdom come cuts and they all sound bad. Thats fucked up cause I like Jay, I think Jim Jones said it best "come out of retirement to save yo team"

Ur gonna catch a lot of hate for that....These Jay dickriders are adamant about their MAN JAY
I'm not gonna cope jays junt till i get positve feed back on it. on the other hand, AZ's album is dropping the same day....thats the Brooklyn pioneer i'ma cop as soon as it drops.....Don't forget at Sosa Reckless....AWOL was dope plus i read he's got a track adressing 50cent and the shit he was talkin...AZ would murder 50 in a battle to bad heads sleep on real hiphop....fuck em though, do ya thing Reck...u put me onto the Jay Diss to Dasg...good looks....don't forget about AZ MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!...give him his props cuz most of these kats on this blog are gonna surely hate......PEACE
ok, I dont know the level of stroke Jay has in terms of promotion, i wouldnt go as far as saying that he aint pushin niggas cos he got something coming out. can anyone name an album roots got mad promotion for, magazine covers, radio shows and shit, exactly. record labels just sleep on certain artists, it always been that way. If they dont know in they hearts u sellin at least a mill, then they gonna spend on wot they think u gon recoup. even meth never been a big seller, which is a mystery by the way.so dont hate jay for not doin wot no-one else has ever done. on d other hand tho, i aint naive enuff to think he aint doin certain things for his own good, but i agree wit above comments, if that nas joint is as big as ppl are sayin, then it can come out weneva, will it do plat? who knows
In all honesty, all that music label this, and no promo to this one stuff gives me a headache. I been waiting for jay-z to come out of the oldfolks home and bless the world with more heat. as long as the music is hot i'm buyin. i like "kindom come" and "show me what u got", but even when he released wack singles, his cds have still been crack.as a fan, i'll let them cats loose sleep over the business side, just keep makin good music.

The problem with jay is that he has lost his touch and has no more fury in his music. His delivery is no longer as good as it once was. He has screwed up Nas in my own opinion because Nas should have come out b4 him. But i will still buy that Nas no matter what. Well Jay should get some ghost writers and speak on better things bcos (despite the fact that i am a hige Jay fan) his "show me what you got" is not what I would expect. What Nas has been dropping since 04 is classic street shit. Jay please step it up and prove Killa Cam wrong.
Jay is promoting himself too much compared too the other artists on the Def Jam squad. Look at it, the roots, method man etc. I actually heard some of those Method Man tracks and i thought it was a great album. Please Jay you have made a lot of money, assist the other artists because you can also make a big name by lifting up the other artists.
Man yall niggaz can say what yall want about HOV , but his track record speaks for himself. I am a NAS fan first before JAY but I gotta give credit when credit is due. No other MC in the history of hip hop has had a run like JAY and if I'm lying, name a nigga who can go blow for blow, album for album with Jay. Commercially and streetwise, dude puts it down. I can even admit that the tracks that I've heard aren't as crazy as I thought they would be but if there is one nigga in the game whom I can truct with my $15, its Jay. Nas has even dissapointed me and that nigga never retired ! Hov is Hov and he has that "me,myself and I" in him just like any other artist that commands that kind of respect. The nigga is on a motherfucking world tour with the goddamn UN ! Wouldn't you walk around like you was the shit too...lol. I'll cop a new pair of kick and act like I can walk on water...lol. If he don't put himself first, who's gonna do it. He should just step back and let Nas shine right... GTFOH.
Nas is gonna come out with heat regardless so I appreciate the fact that I can actually go cop CD's on a weekly basis (like it was 2002 again) and not have to worry about having an abundance of weed plates. Stop hating and wait till the shit comes out before shitting on it. I made that mistake with the Black Album and it hasn't left my side since. Methods Album was trash and I am a WU fan to the fullest but dude has never had a good album since his first joint. Hot 97 but a ban on his ass for talking shit. But check the credits on Method mans album. Bum ass Skane and Erick Sermon were behind his project and he expected it to sell ???
GTFOH....

Also he need to step back up his lyrics cos to be sincere all the tracks that i have hurrd dont even match up with some of the tracks on the Juelz Santana "What the Games Been Missing Album".
Yeah also about the South well i like South music that is meaningful examples T.I, Wayne,etc. But i dislike the fact that a lot of southern artists only release club tracks (about women shaking thier booties, men snapping fingers, leaning etc...) What I am saying is that it should not be only about the club some club music but not all club music
Well someone should cosign all this cos it is all true
Much love to the south, Bronx, other bloggers i am out
Come on man...say what you want about the single, the lost ones track is fire, let alone subject content, the lyrics are incredible
@JoeRipps
your feedback is the only thing that matters... if you ain't feelin it, don't let nobody sway you cuz in the end it's YOUR MONEY... or in this day in age hard drive space lol!!!! but if you dont' have faith in it, i'd say don't waste your time...
@Bx Lover
i feel you to an extent, but one thing the south should've taught the industry is that you can't depend on labels to promote you the way you need to be promoted. look at what you saying... even BEFORE jay took over, really how good was the roots promotion? were they going diamond and shit and i just didn't know about it or do they, themselves need to step it up and act like indie artists... considering they are.
Dear Jigga,
You are no Lyor Cohen partna, Your roster sucks, you stole everything from B.I.G. & you don't give credit where credit is due. Why don't you admit you sold your soul to the Devil. So what if you are the chielf markeitn of Budwieser. Ni66as was buying buds before you pimp. So that makes you a sell out. Did NAS do a beer comerical? NI66A you flip flop from one beer company to the next. You look like you do anything for money. You only got your attention because of Big Pimpin. That when the south and rest of people outside of the east heard of you. you hop on anybody dick that hot. Dead Prez, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross. You ain't nothing but a boppa. You don't give credit to Dame Dash, or Cohen. The people you put out are garbage. If it was for LA Ried you would make one of the most prolific label go to Hell.
Enough hatin let me have a Budwieser cuz I am thirsty.

Isn't that so fucking amzing how a nigga can dickride Lupe for writing songs with substance and shit on Jay because "the track ain't hot"... I smell the hate seeping out pores. Dude poured his sould out on some sucker for love shit and still got niggaz hating. It is what it is but we all can see the difference between cinstructive criticsm and hate and most of this bullshit is hate. Saying that he should get a ghostwriter and shit... come on. Nigga been beating there heads against the wall for real music and now that they got it, they don't want it because its HOV giving it to them and not G-Unit or Dipset. Same shit, different toilet up in this blog. Hate Hate Hate. Niggaz have been throwing it to Diddy. Niggaz been throwing it to Jay. Heard 2 tracks from Jay and his whole album is gonna be wack. Here comes the " nah son, I heard 6 joint and they all was wack".... I see it coming. Niggaz been shitting on Puff and haven't even heard the album yet. I don't see how any hip hop or r&b could hear that album and not like it. Hate smells really bad and yall niggaz need to wash your asses....
@victory
c'mon kinfolk!!! why you mad at Jay? dude tryna make money and that's it. you say he flip flop from one beer to another? is that really something to bash somebody about? cuz if it is them imma hell of a sell out. there's been plenty of nights where the store done ran outta corona and i gotta switch to bud light for the evening. or i showed up at a party and all they got is keystone... should i say no cuz it ain't what i drink all the time? fuck outta here!!!! and dude was hot before big pimpin bro... i was listening to jay waaaaay before that. and he ain't hoppin on dick, it's called a COLLAB for a reason. all them niggas you just named are hot in their region. so if you a real artist you gone try to expose yourself to as many fans and regions as possible... agree? everything else... i ain't gone comment on. just a difference of opinion
Yall be typing a whole lot of bullshit.
I don't think anyone is doubting jay's track record but if you were to look at it he has never done a better album than reasonable doubt. I'm from BK I naturally understood him and what he was going through progressively more when I was growing up because I had some of the same experiences but I can't ride with him on these songs. Track record is great but i'm a janet jackson type nigga when it comes down to music; "What have you done for me lately?" The last thing I liked was that Appearence on the Jeezy remix but after that, there has been no subject matter to effect me musically. I'm from the Hood I have an understanding of shit that is around me and things at the current moment that I can afford, he talks about shit the average hood nigga can only dream about, well some nigga will do anything to get it. I just don't feel the materialism of Jay's Flow anymore. Sorry so lengthy.

Re-read your post and tell me how in the fuck it makes sense. So what Big Pimpin goit him south love... that was the whole fucking point asshole. Its called marketing and your dumb ass swallowed it all up. Just like you are swallowing Bud. He's a sellout because he is finding new ways to estblish himself as a business man but your Walmart working ass couldn't understand that. Broke niggaz don't understand the hustle... that why you broke. Any nigga out here fgrinding and trying to get their shit off the ground whether you got your own label or mortgage comp can understand he and puffs hustle. You was prolly the first nigga to jump up in the club when Big Pimpin came on you bottom feeding ass hater.
I kind of like "Lost Ones". Hov spit from the heart on that one. And I hope yall know he talking Beyonce in the second verse....
people keep saying def jam, Jay-Z as an artist is Roc-a-fella.. not Def-Jam. Kingdom come we just have to see if it's a good album, bottom line.Jay-z don't make the final decision on DefJam on how much money to spend on promo on certain artists.Even Jay-z have someone to answer to on Def-Jam. Roc-a-Fella is a different story.

Damn son u wrote a Full Page Report. But I agree with u 4 the most part bcuz I am a Jay fan b4 anyone else. He held down my borough for 6 summers...damn where's the love???
As for Meth I think his album was a strong 7.5 he didn't have any club bangers up there bcuz he's a grown ass married man he ain't in the club no more, he has a wife and kids to cater to.
On to Nas. Thats my dude as well, Queens Stand UP! How come every borough can ruit for there rappers without receiving any hate except for Brooklyn?
Its whatever though cuz I'ma stay repping my hood.
BROOKLYN STAND UP!

why niggas mad... and i quote
"i was poppin gold bottles yall niggas thought it was beer..."
"i was rockin that platinum shit yall niggas thought it was silver"
i ain't gone keep going... point is. Jay is a trendsetter... been that way since damn near the beginning of time... making money and spending that shit is all about exclusiveness, getting shit that nobody else can. and it works. everything he speaks on niggas follow. that's power homie... if you can't afford it, oh well that ain't his fault. that's why he talk about it. EVERYBODY IN THE INDUSTRY... and even underground for that matter be tryna stunt talkin bout they got this and they got that, but 99.9% of them muhfuckas be lying... this nigga doin that for the hatas... showing muhfuckas WHY he been puttin in all this work for so long. why not celebrate over a gold bottle of ace of spades? lol

Has Nas ever done anything better than Illmatic ?
Has Snoop did anything better than DoggySTYLE ?
How about 50 and GRODT ?
Wu tang and the 36 chambers ?
Dre put out anything better than the Chronic ?
A nigga's fisrt album usually is his finest work. You gonna tell me that the BluePrint and Hard Knoc vol 2 aren't up to that level. Come on Sun. You an I tend to agree on the political shit but imma have to go at you on this one...lol.
WATS ROCIN IHADNOCHOICE AND XBK???
=TAH=
Damn, Why do we talk about the same shit everyday?????....Reckless and alot of you other niggas up here have no business sense at all...Why would anybody put a lot money into promoting the roots?...We all know that they're not gonna sell much no matter what you do...Spending big dollars to promote them is like flushing money down the toilet...Why would you spend a lot of money promoting Meth when he aint had a hit single since 'All I need' with MJB over 10 years ago and his last two albums flopped something horrible...
Damn Reckless, you must have failed every business class you ever took...make some fucking sense
Now he got the whole world rocking Audemars just like he had the whole world rocking collared shirts. He had every fucking rapper this side of the moon going to Jacob. He got niggaz to pop CRIS and then told niggaz to put it down, and these dickriding ass niggaz put it down. Niggaz use to love a bitch till noon but he had all you pimp wanna be niggaz kicking shorties out at 6am. He had niggaz bring back their X5's.
Trading in the 4.0 for that 4.6. Who the fuck could do that ? Hate him or not, you gotta fgive this nigga his credit. Niggaz can't even buy gold anymore because of Jay. He set trends bigger than hip hop can handle and that why yall can't understand it. I can understand his hustle.

WHEN SHOULD HE STOP TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ?
HOW DO YOU TELL A HUSTLER TO STOP MAKING MONEY ?
Only a non - hustler couldsay he needs to stop. Do white billionairs stop ?
Does Bill Gates stop at 50 billion ?
Does the motherfucking oil czar stop selling oil to "share" with other.
Yall niggaz sound like yall are homeless and never took an econominc class. A nigga trying to get himself further and yall wanna hate to hold him back. Its funny because I am not the biggest Jay fan or Puffy fan but I am always looking at new ways to get paid so I know where they are coming from. Birds of a feather and I can tell the type of birds yall are... strait vulture ass niggaz circle a nigga waiting for his demise. But tommorrow you on some pro black lets get out the hood and do better shit.......
I can't stand this fucking hate anymore man. I really can't. They need to start kicking down haters doors on some NAZI shit so we can ethnically cleanse ourselve of these hatin ass niggaz.

LMAO..........With all that advertisement, guest appearances and payola too. You better take that garbage over seas. I'm sure they will show the love.
The "Lost Ones" track is one of the realest and strongest songs I've heard from Jay...How could any of you niggas claim to be hip hop fans and not feel that shit?...I gotta stop posting up here cause sucka ass niggas is starting to give me a fucking head ache...The 'Kingdom Come' track is fire and so is 'Lost Ones'...the nigga aint lost his touch...He aint lost shit...You niggas is just suckas who try really hard to find things to hate on...

You must not be from NY if you are saying that because I see how these niggaz are. Now you wanna rock a button down to the club when you never even owned one before. Now you wanna trade in your gold chain and get a white gold one so it looks platinum. It is what it is homie. I see how NYC cats do when it comes to Jay and I was always against doing it myself but I call it like I see it and no other NYC nigga in here who was going to the clubs and still is can tell me different. I been club hopping since I can remember and this is what I see. The blazer with the sneakers ... I remember the first time I seen him I was like what the fuck is he wearing... 1 week later... the whole line at the club got on balzers and air forces.... fucking crazy

I have to admit that no these people did not do any albums better than their first. But I will fight you on the Nas Issue, I think It was Written was a classic album lets also remember Illmatic only had 10 songs on it and Halftime was had been done and was added because Large profesor wanted it on there Nas didn't even like it... But I think it was dope. Like XBK Dude said, Jay has held it down for my home for Really 7 winters, but there are so many Jay clones that I'm tired of the real thing. I'm just tired of niggas riding in expensive ass whips and living in thompkins projects, not owning any propety. If you look at imaginary player and the songs that he has done really the cat has been shitting on dudes who are trying to make their come up. That's the materialistic way. I don't blame niggas for robbin rappers because these rappers act like it won't effect them... So why not. I'm just saying the material route hip hop has taken is a large part due to us here in NY, and yeah we like to floss but we ain't got shit compared to these crackas. You can do your flossing on one hand but do your shit where you educate the children on legitimate business. Teach the people that It's a great thing to be black and not have indian in your family. Tell them there is no such thing good hair. And I may be asking for something out of Jay that doesn't exist in him, but I got a good feeling it does, and that's what he sees in Nas and that's what he wants for himself. Really to be truthful He wants that Malcom X role he just ain't got it.

DAMN, SAME SHIT NEW DAY!
I assume that ya'll know that SOHH is a subsidiary of DEF JAM, hence all the PRO JAY-Z talk and the instant dismissal of anything DIPSET related!
Oh yeah, back to the topic....
JAY aint no damn executive, he's using that shit as an excuse...
IF HE DROPS and does well like we know he will, and everyone else drops and they "FLOP" it gives him more leverage when its time to renegotiate...
JAY is egotistical! WE ALL KNOW THIS!
He'll be the best seller at DEF JAM, which means more leverage later on!
THA KING HAS SPOKEN!
For the last time...Can anyone of you niggas come up with an intelligent argument as to why Jay should have put more money into LL, Roots or Meth promotional budget? Or how him dropping an album before Nas affects anything?
Key word INTELLIGENT argument....This goes for you too reckless

Thats what it is Sun and I can see it by what you are saying. Jay is Jay. We can't expect him to be Chuck D. He is what he is. Let the man grow a bit. You see he is doing the UN thing now. He is trying to get himself in a position where he can do more for us than just handing out Turkeys in Marcy. He is a nigga from the hood. Its not like he has a degree to get to that status. Praise a nigga for taking it to the next level instead of nitpicking all the shit we see wrong from him. He plays both sides of the fence but some dudes just see what they want to see. I agree on It Was Written but ILLMATIC is still ILLMATIC...nahy mean. I see where you are coming from but the guys isn't the next Stokely Carmicheal... ya dig. Its not like he ever said he wanted to be that so why put him in that category. He is a young black business man who happens to rap.....period.
But I guess he should end up like LL right. 42 years old and still asking people for help trying to put out his 32nd album.
@ TahJack50n:
what up mama...These niggas really give me a fucking headache...None of them make any sense ever! and they just keep talking...then more dumb ass niggas jump in and agree with them til it's a room full of dumb ass niggas all agreeing with each other...This site is a circus...

Listen to "Change Clothes". And if he didn't, who did. Don't say Usher because I got proof on that too.
Yall ain't even up on Audemars yet and watch every nigga start runnign to find out what it is and this and that.
Not to hate on Jay but I guess I started out a Nas fan Because I could relate to seeing shit from his perspective more so than Jay-z's. And really to be truthful about it how many of you can sit back and say damn I just drank this bottle of Cristal last night on the jet from London? None of you I'm willing to bet. I feel great to see a Cat from up the street make it but if everytime I see him he's talking about what he got and can buy and what I don't have, after a while i'm changing the channel. I ain't rich but I'm very good and I don't think any of you would fuck with me If I wrote on this site things that I bought the night before everyday. That's my point. Nothing personal with Jay no hating just preference. I don't feel his lyricism anymore or the subject matter.
