: Remember last year when Jay Z supposedly signed a $150M deal with Live Nation. Well, MediaTakeOut.com is hearing that the deal may fall apart before it even started.
What happened you ask?? Well word on the street is that the deal was never “officially” consummated – meaning the contracts were never signed - and now the peeps over at Live Nation are looking to back out of it.
And there may be something to the whispers. Because here’s an excerpt in today’s NY Daily News about a new deal between Jay Z and Atlantic:
A well-placed industry source tells us that Jay - who recently left Def Jam as a recording artist (he served as its president from 2004-2007) - has been taking top-secret meetings with his old pals and former managers Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles. Topics of the hush-hush conversations have included giving Jay his own record label at WMG, tentatively to be called the Carter Music Group.We can tell you FOR A FACT that Atlantic ain’t got nowhere near $150 million to give to Jay. So then why ELSE would Jay give up his Live Nation money to go there…"Jay knows Lyor and Kevin from back when they all worked together at Def Jam, and he obviously wants to work something out with his friends," says our insider. "He wants to get the dream team back together. There have been a few whiffs of a reunion in the past, but only now - and very privately - is something finally starting to happen."
See when those devils are bored with you and your black asss loyalty they slowly start to do you in. Sooner or later, we'll see Jay Z runnin asss naked being chased outta Marcy by a bunch of goons in red bandanas headed by Jaz and Dehaven.
They dont care about your blow jobs...when they got young boys like Pretty Ricky with a fresher pair of lips & an easier younger asss hole. The older u get it aint fun for them anymore.

Jay-Z Close To Epic Records Deal
May 27, 2009 05:39 PM ET
Mariel Concepcion, N.Y. Jay-Z is close to signing a deal that will bring his future recordings to Sony, Billboard sources confirm. The deal -- which will link Jay-Z's Roc Nation releases with Sony's Epic Records for distribution -- "is 95% complete" according to people familiar with the ongoing negotiations. A formal announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
Just last week, Jay-Z confirmed his departure from longtime label home Def Jam. His split from the Universal Music Group-owned label reportedly came with a $5 million price tag, but left the rap artist and label executive in control of his future master recordings. Jay-Z's eleven solo records (including the live "Unplugged" album) and collaborations with Linkin Park and R. Kelly have sold more than 29 million units according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Last year, Jay-Z and Live Nation struck a wide-ranging deal that included touring, publishing and albums. The roughly $150 million pact includes a partnership in Roc Nation, as well as the rapper's own recordings and tours for the next 10 years.
"He definitely didn't want to release his album via Def Jam," said a UMG source. "And given his close relationship with [Columbia Records Co-Chairman] Rick Rubin, it comes as no surprise that he'd make the switch."
Speculation has intensified in the past week that a Sony deal is in the works. Sony CEO Howard Stringer and Jay-Z's Roc Nation partner Jay Brown have been spotted meeting in Los Angeles and New York; Epic Records president Amanda Ghost is managed by Roc Nation and Brown; and Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce, is a Sony artist on the Columbia Records label.
But despite Jay-Z's close ties to Columbia, sources insist he and his wife will not be labelmates. "It will be a distribution deal, sort of like Star Trak is distributed by Interscope, and it will be on the Epic side, not Columbia," a Billboard's source said. Lawyers for both sides are currently hashing out the details.
If the deal goes through, Jay-Z highly-anticipated eleventh studio album, "The Blueprint 3," will most likely be the first release on Roc Nation to be distributed by Epic.

May 27, 2009. here is what jayz's boy had to say about BEYONCE:
Yo check this shut, I know you peons iz going to think this is made up and shyt but it aint. Im tired of watching the comment section and yall assumptions of this dysfunctional relationship, Jay aint returning my phone calls about a beat that he owes me so im bout to put his shyt on blast!
Jay alawys talking wreckless about Beyonce when he gets drunk or had a few drinks. he talk about how lazy she is, saying she annoys the hell out of him because there aint a tidy bone in her body but yall seen that already all over the internet but you havent got Jays perspective on it, he hates the shyt. Anybody who know jay know hes a clean dude, feel me. he talks about how ignorant she is and how he wants to talk about current events but she cant hang in that department so he get on the horn with his sister for that type of talk. oh and they bytch is disrespectful son.
She called my crib one time around 3 in the morning yelling about where he put the key to her apartment since hes not home shes didnt want to stay at home alone, childish and shyt..he sent the key by his driver and stayed and chilled. He says how she put on a sweet attitude for the cameras but shes actually a bitch and very bitter. he say how she constantly talking down on less fortunate people and not remembering her roots and makes jokes about Kelly and Michelle all the time saying they deserve what they got in regards to their carrers…thats bad. Yo when they on the phone together shes like a damn high schooler who wont let him hang up and accuse him of being with a chic.
Yo, one time he put the bitch on speaker phone and she was going on and on about him being with some shorty but he was just in my basement chillin and playin pool and shyt. Beyonce got a lot of growing up to do, shes not a pleasure to be around, she puts bad vibes in a room and tension whenever she comes over. She pops up like she gonna find something. Yo, when I moved, she harassed us to get the address.
They dont go hardly nowhere together and when they do, Jay ask her not to call the press but she does it anyway, thats why you see him walking ahead cause he pissed off, she always calls the press. She wants a public relationship and he dont. That shyt going to come between them on some real shyt. she dont respect the marriage. Yo at the wedding the ceremony didnt start for about6 hours late because she was bytching about this and that, getting cold feet, calling him to say its on, then its off and then its on.
U wonder why there aint no wedding pics, well they sent the photographer home because it was called off at one point and then called back on. You wonder why the wedding was at night? Come on, who gets married at night, yall seen the pics of her fam out in the rain that night and the wedding was supposed to take place during the day. Beyonce is a bitter depressed broad yo. At one time she gained a lot of weight and was such a baby about it, crying and shyt… but yo, i said too much.
I know ** gonna chop my head off for this but yo, i want my beat Jay! Holla!
fakefake...
bout time somebody tellin it like it t-i-is. That ish was good read. Every human that had any contact with Bey had nothing nice to say about her. I knew she was happy Michelle, Kelly etc did not succed. This is just wrong but trust Bee will reap what she sow.
So why did Jay marry her? I think business deal. What about U?
Type til the cows come home, I luv it when someone speaks truth, I will read it all. :-)

@ CHERYLINMIAMI
The Roc Nation/Warner/Atlantic rumor is indeed true (if rumors can be true). It was in the NY Post and is now being posted on X*x*L mag dot com.
Makes you wonder if the Live Nation deal was even real. Why would you be shopping an already done deal to another company/label. Something in the milk ain't clean.

Thanks for posting the other side - I read this same story on line. I just do not understand why MTO stoops to this level and is always claiming " a well placed source".
I guess because these stories are swallowed up by those who dwell on negativity.
