Michel Kane Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Why do you love Universalyeah i thought Jay was with atlantic/waner back with LyorWell I prefer them to Sony at this precise moment. It seems like Sony dont want any authentic urban artists, so I wouldnt have been surprised if they made him put out some utter garbage. I like Warner as well I was meant to post that the other day. I'm so happy that he is on Universal. I love UniversalIsn't Jay Roc Nation and Warner? As previously reported, Jay-Z has inked a distribution deal with Sony for his Roc Nation label, the Brooklyn-born rapper confirmed to Billboard last week."Sony is Roc Nation. That's where Roc Nation's going through," Jay-Z told Billboard.com on Friday (June 29).As for the deal he recently signed with Atlantic, he clarifies that it is a one-off situation for his upcoming album, "Blueprint 3," slated for a September 11th release."That's pretty much just for this specific album. Roc Nation -- we're experts in marketing and making records. But we do distribution deals," he says. "On this one, we're working directly with the Atlantic staff, which is Julie [Greenwald], Lyor [Cohen], Kevin [Liles] and Kyse [Mike Kyser]. For the rest of the Roc Nation artists, we did a distribution deal with Sony."Jay-Z also told Billboard he originally approached Def Jam with the same distribution deal idea four years ago, but was shut down. "You have to figure, this is like four years ago, and to them it was just like, 'Are you crazy? No! Make a song!'" he said. "To me it was like, I've sold companies for huge amounts of money. I'm an entrepreneur -- that's what I've been all my life. I can't just sit here and make records and not do anything else. Why wouldn't you want to do this with me? I felt under-utilized."When his Def Jam contract was nearing expiration and he had one last album to release with the label (in this case, "Blueprint 3"), Jay-Z opted to buy himself out of the contract for a reportedly $5 million price tag.In related news, Jay-Z, who performed during this year's BET Awards on Sunday (June 28) released the video to his "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-tune)" video after the show, as part of BET's post show. The clip features guest appearances from Lyor Cohen, head of Warner Music Group which houses Atlantic Records, basketball player Lebron James and actor Harvey Keitel.Roc Nation is Sony, Blueprint 3 will be Atlantic./Drake's management will be 'Hip-Hop Since 1978' which basically means: Quality album + well-executed release.You reckon?Well, it just seems that when Kyambo Joshua (Hip-Hop Since 1978) is involved, the project in general is handled very well. These are their clients at the moment... - Kanye West - Just Blaze - Lil Wayne - Drake - SaigonThey also handled Jay-Z since the Dynasty album dropped, but DON'T QUOTE ME on that. They also signed Young Jeezy very recently.So bar 50 Cent & Eminem, they more or less have/had the biggest names in Hip-Hop if you look at all their releases under HHS78, they've all been successful & critically acclaimed bar a few mishaps.Drake has already got the foundations set, this will only help.

Numero001 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I almost forgot what a killer track Take You Down is. If it was someone like Tyreese or Trey Songz who sung and released it, it would be an undeniable classic slow jam. Chris is a bit too teeny and soft to get that credibility.

If it was someone like Tyreese or Trey Songz who sung and released it, it would be an undeniable classic slow jam. Chris is a bit too teeny and soft to get that credibility.Fully C/S, Chris ain't grown enough to sing that song. In fact I'm surprised Songz hasn't jumped on that track.

Guest Lisa Turtle Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Young is a banger.'Take you Down' is still there as an R&B hit because of Chris' performanceWhen I got 'Exclusive' I did wonder what the hell he was doing singing that kind of song.
