i dont agree with this, stargate are garbage if he HAS to form a label with a producer why not someone who can wear a hip hop hat??

Whoa... didn't see that one coming.

I like their sound but Stargate with Jay-Z? Should be interesting to see how this is gonna turn out.

Yeah, it seems obvious that this move is r'n'b/radio oriented, Stargate made #1's for Rihanna, Beyonce, Ne-Yo, etc.
The only hiphop work they did, was a couple of tracks for Nas.

I ain't mad. They laced Ne-Yo with 2 of my favorite R&B tracks, "Because of You" and "Go On Girl".
