Title: (VIDEO)KRS-One: “Def Jam Single-Handedly Destroyed Hip Hop”
Post by: Elano on September 26, 2009, 04:20:06 AM

“Def Jam is the dopest label in hip-hop, in the culture of hip-hop,” he said. “There really would be no hip-hop as we know it today if it wasn’t for Def Jam. But you don’t get that respect without also being the label that single-handedly destroyed hip-hop.”

THey got to Ghostface to now!

but can you really say this? Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I., 50 Cent, none of these acts are on def jam eventhough they are the hottest right now.

At the end of the day Def Jam is just trying to make money and it was always going to go the way of other labels. They've always had to adjust to current trends (eg their signing of Warren G back in the day).

The way the comments were set up, I was expecting it to be something crazy out of KRS' mouth but after watching the video, I have to agree with what he's saying.
