The music business modelhas to change given all of the access we have to “free” content online. Record companies are losing money and less willing to take risks on new artists because its mad difficult for new artists to sell. Especially when creative individuals find ways of copping the music for free.

Based on past history, once JayZ takes over you get more unwanted JayZ albums and no support for new artists.

Online music is bad for everyone. first off online record labels are not hard anybody can start a label and second the Internet has become the Major label in a way.. artist shouldnt be looking to be signed anytime soon.

The only people that matter in music is artist that create CONTENT or CONTENT controllers like managers or producers, online record labels dont need staff to run, so there goes more jobs lost. Advertising is the only thing that matters for online stores or online record labels.

Music online is also bad because the quality of music is at a all time low because artsit dont need to hit a studio anymore. Since everyone listens to music on myspace or MP3s , our EAR will get use too bad music sounding good.

I think I will take my label digital, would not need permission from anybody to move anything, it cuts down on the whole distibute and shit thing and I would not have to pay for content that was not purchased and everything else is digital so why not, the distibutors now are itunes, rhapsody, yahoo, msn, napster and the like, so not having music for sale traditionally is not a problem and when people want to listen in their car, they just burn a cd anyway, but some people will always buy cd’s just like some always buy vinyl and others rock out to tapes and than there is the 8 track player, there is a market for everything, the question, if Jay do? If he does, everyone else will, he will take Rocafella with him, he needs to hire Dame to run that ship, and everyone else will go along wit him, Diddy, he sees the dollars he sees the money saved in not pressing up a million units only to sell only 500k like wit Press Play, everybody loved the singles he could of saved alot of time and money if it was just digital, imagine PRESS PLAY (Start of Digita Revolution) but Hov will do something he is not hinting for nothing, look at all his moves they always play out in front of your face and he tells you ahead of time (All I need is …Like Meth and Mary, Marvin and Tammy) Got B, took over the TV and than the world SMART DUDE

Jay-Z……. SUCKS as a record exec… None of his artists have dont anything. Roc-a-fella has no artists that are doing well. Kanye is the only one and that was Dame Dash’s idea. All the artist on Def Jam who have done good were already successful and didnt need him. Plus you always gotta look at artists who try to run labels.. it hardly ever works and his music is not even great anymore. 38, 39 however old he is talking about hustlin and street shit. Come on man lets grow up. You can’t be on the a record exec talking about slangin rocks..lol Hip Hop is dying man right in front of our eyes and guess who messed it up…WE DID for letting people get away with this shit. I am tired of wack shit.. Jay-Z is wack

[…] Whohaa. After Jay “Business” Z left Def Jam last month it is now rumored that he launches a new record label together with Apple (Yes, that Apple!). Nahright hopes that this is the big wake up call the music industry needs right now. And what are the majors doing? The same old mistakes, like SpOn finds out. We stay tuned.. 03.01.08 • TEAM […]
