Not to mention he ate up the whole Fourth quarter budget, no way Beanz and Freeweezy were letting that shit slide. They dun took the Roc from him and told him to gtfo Def Jam.

Jay wanted too much money from Universal I heard.

His recording contract was album-to-album. That's why he's on that retirement shit. So he doesn't have to sign like 3 albums over.

Jay said he still has one album left on his contract, though.

LOL, this coming right after those wise words from Budden.

Budden wins again.

LOL @ the thought of Buddens having any kind of influence on anybody in the music biz..

The proof is right there Jomey. He unleashed Talk 2 Em basically telling him to do exactly what he did. Then, he conducted an interview a DAY before this news, that must have been the "nail in the coffin" that persuaded Jay!

YUP, mhm!

that was more lucky good timing on his part.... It's hard to believe that anybody in power held meetings over the Jay situation over anything Joey said.

^^ Yep, it's almost like G.A.G.E. telling Dr.Dre to step down as Aftermath boss.

this should of happened when he came out of retirement. He is too interested in Jay-z and not def jam. And he was only there for show, wanted to be seen as a CEO, what a sad old man. Def Jam in the hole, they need a real CEO.

Who the fuck is GAGE? That nikka that was supposed to be signed to Aftermath but NEVER was...

But anyways, Def Jam fucked up when they let the new regime in. In so many ways they fucked up. They need to get rid of L.A. Reid too. Totally fresh start.
