I don't really believe it, mainly because sony is a big label and they have a lot of pull. and you have to understand sony has been greatly supportive of beyonce, not to mention she's one of their biggest selling musical acts since the age of mariah carey. They are not going to lose their bread and butter as for jay z, he's a phenominal business man and no one is disputing that, he'll get exactly what he's looking for. LA Reid is not funding him because the money is not in the budget, if it were Jay Z would get it and he knows it. LA Reid can't afford to take any risks, plain and simple, he did that with whitney and it got him fired and as a result it got one of the greatest labels of all time (arista) closed down despite the fact that it still had great artists. |

Okay thats nice. But why dont we as Black people keep making labels that aren't big enough to stand alone. Why don't we start creating our own RECORD COMPANIES that do their own distribution. So we can actually start putting out better quality music.

I definitely think this will do major damage to Beyonce and the Camel Man's relationship. Camel Man is very head strong and B's daddy is too controlling. I don't think the two will marry. Camel Man is from the hood and B just aint cut form that kinda cloth. It's a disaster waiting to happen. |

Def Jam wont fail, remember they have Russell Simmons who is thee most creative and influential man in the business right above Diddy. Jay and Beyonce can do as they please as im sure they will, but they wont hinder any productivity @ Def Jam. Plus having her father wrapped up in that busyness is a formula of self destruction. If they choose to take that route they need to reconsider their who they want to help run the "show". PLUS Jay NEVER signed NAS, Jay cant sign Nas, Nas is NAS! He brought him on board, but never "signed" him to Def Jam. He can take stank ass Rihana cause who really gives a fuk about her ?! and Ne Yo eh he's aight, but his career can falter depending on his sophmore album. God Speed Jay and Beyonce. There's no doubt they'll make money BUT they will not shout any other label out. Holla! |

Naw, but what I'm tripping over is, how can they be scared of losing Neyo & Rihanna? There album sales together is no more than like 3 million? lol...And if the talent that Jay brought to Def Jam is anything similar to what he'll be bring to this new label then I think we're in trouble! 'Cause none of the artist that Jay signed have sold millions of records...they've all been mediocre at best..I'll just be glad when we can have some gossip that doesn't involve these two, enough is enough! |

I'm not sure if I believe this one. First, every other day you guys are saying they broke up but now they're starting a new label? Now, I'm sure Beyonce is a smart woman but I'll put my money on Jay being smarter and Bee's parents knowing that. You can tell how they have a lot of influence over her just by the way they handle any "crisis" Beyonce may come up against. How many celebrities have their parents on every channel or radio station defending their child's action? With that being said you know that Mathew and Tina would've pulled her coattail and told her "Don't you jump into anything like that without being married to that man." I'm sure Mathew is well aware that when things go sour between business partners it can get ugly and usually one partner ends up on top. Now if that were to happen who do you think would be in that position? I'll give you a hint. When Jay wanted out of Rockafella he tried to give Dame the benefit of the doubt but Dame wanted to be greedy and look what happened. By the way, where is Dame? With that cocky mouth piece and whack a.s.s. reality show I'm not surprised he's in hiding. But if this is true I wish them all the best because I love to see black folks prosper. |

It's what Wendy's co-host Charlemagne been saying. Rihanna and Ne-Yo are the only ones doing well besides Jay Z. Maybe the other artists will remain at Def Jam and do well by getting the marketing they need and put out a good project. This super label will be business as usual like it is for Def Jam/Jay Z (if this is true). |

I'm happy for them if this is true. And for those that keep saying that their relationship is too rocky...You dont know what their relationship is like. When people decide to be together that means through thick and thin. Trust and know that we're talking about millionaires not regular folks like us. One of the main strengths in a relationship is to have the SAME financial goals. But anybody under 25 probably wouldn't relate to that or anything else I wrote so whatever. Jay and B do that sh!t!!! |

Now she isn't my type of artist, but she generates the dollar. Neyo is a writer producer and artist.....Plus Jay has all the hot producers at his beck and call. Why do folks act like Bee is 7 years old. She can do her thing with her dad and voice her own opinions. Don't sleep...Matthew made her as*. He is a good business man. Destiny's child and Bee have done Fabulous. I think that if they, jay and bee, did this it would be fabulous! But get married first. They on some jada and will ish!

The big picture is that Jay Z is flighty and selfish. It has to be all about him. He took the spot at Def Jam "ONLY" to over-promote himself. Commercials, Monday Night Football, 60 mintues, etc to promote his new album. Album sales were expected to be bigger for both of them - so basically a flop. He only promoted NAS as his did due to the fact of their history of feuding over Carmen. Now he wants his own label, AGAIN. Everyone talks about Matthew Knowles as "CONTROLLING"...so is JAY Z.. |

The only part of this story that I believe right now is the part about Beyonce' releasing all these albums to finish out her contract with Sony. Because rappers do that kind of stuff all the time when they are ready to leave a label. But the rest I'll just have to see it to believe it. |

tinysweets, you are about the only one on this post that is making any sense. If the rumor is true maybe The Roots, Method Man, Joe Budden, and the other Def Jam artists will have an opportunity to shine.
Jay-Z as a businessman is just a bunch of hype targetted at those who really do not understand business or true leadership. |

I'm not sure WHAT to make of this. On the one hand, it's a good look for Jay and B, them being 2 of the most powerful figures in the business. It would mean more wealth and fame for them both. On the other hand, it's a TERRIBLE idea! Imagine Beyonce under contract with her own boyfriend! What happens when and if they break up? No doubt Jay will have more control over the label than the Knowleses! B will be dropped and become a free agent again!
With or without this alleged deal, Beyonce and Matthew are set for life! Their careers will continue to grow so it's not as if they NEED this venture. I'm not totally against it, but I'm not for it either.
It's in Def Jam's best business interest to pay Jay what he's asking for because Apple or anyone else will do it gladly, then end up more powerful and wealthy just by association. People flock to him. Sure he's a great businessman but he learned the business hands on, like ANY other professional! He also has great advisors to his benefit. The thing to appreciate about Jay Z's savvy is his influence. It's his SINGLE greatest attribute! Influence + business sense + great advisory = Jay Z.
Bottom line: between Jay, Beyonce and Matthew Knowles there is MORE than enough wealth and power to go around. This dream team isn’t necessary. It's just too damn close for comfort AND there's too much room for things to get ugly. They should only do this if they're absolutely certain they won't all part ways later on down the line. |

STUPID MOVE JIGGA!!! J is a business man, that we know. But Beyonce is NOT. Her clothing line has failed. Yes, she can ENDORSE products, but she can not RUN her own business. NEVER mix business with pleasure. What if they break up?
Beyonce will not be able to put aside her personal problems for the greater good of the company. |

Beyone will do just fine if she got Jay by her side..since he is an entrepeneur. Beyonce knows nothing about business and running her own company. Look @ her clothing line? It failed. What is it called "House of DooDoo". Yeah it is.
She doesn't pay people ..she just used them. No one doesn't want to work with Beyonce because she doesn't give up her share of the money when work is being done. The only person willingly to work with Beyonce is Jay himself and that is it.

CJ, I like how you put that. "She doesn't pay people." Lol, I've said the same thing about Beyonce before, that she IS CHEAP! I'm only going by what I hear and she is LEGENNDARRY in her cheapness, lol. As the legend goes, she rarely uses name producers, pays her dancers minimum wage and even all the videos on her re-release looks rushed and cheap! She's a classic capitalist! It always seems like she uses the cheapest labor/materials for the greatest profit.
I can't say this with certainty because I don't work with her but yes, she seems cheap, lol. |

Even though Beyonce puts out this cookie cutter pop rnb lite sh!t and Jay-Z is mostly about bravado rap, I hope they turn things aound by signing REAL singers and get back to REAL music and rap.
Also reach back and sign the old school artists and promote them. KRS-One, Rakim, Public Enemy, Shanice, Anita Baker, etc. And don't fu.ck with the old school artists like Puffy did with New Edition, Dr. Dre did with Rakim, R. Kelly did with Charlie Wilson & Ron Isley. Stop making these older folks wear baseball caps & throwback jerseys. Let them do what they did best make great art. |

1. His name is Jay-Z...not camel man, not the camel.
2. His name is spelled Shawn not Sean.
As for this rumor: seeing is believing. I mean these people are entrepreneurs and in any given dictionary that will tell you "People who are not afraid to take risk." Having said this, how will these two ambitious moguls ever know it they can create the "WALMART of MUSIC" if they don't try their hands. I support them in their endeavor, whatever way it turns out. Quite Honestly, both of them could make a major faux paux with this move, but it will never change the fact that they had the balls to go out there and try! I love ya'll Jay and B. |

Okay, people, when are we going to learn that just because someone is successful as an artist, does not mean they will be successful as an exec! There have been plenty of examples that prove this point.

mathew knowles said already about why they were releasing the 3 albums like that.also-if it were true.mediatakeout would not have been the first to break it.it would be sony records.the all powerful.j-z has powerful-but he has nothing on sony.if it were true.big big big mistake.especially if it's something sony would not like.sony has crushed many artist,even super famous and rich one's who the felt dissed them.also-if it was true.any artists could forget about thier if they signed with them.mathew knowles and j-z would only care about promoting themselves.would not be good!also-j-z just signed a new contract with def-jam.and no he is not the only major player there.so they would not go down the tubes.and,j may be good at business. but beyonce is not,hence,house of derion.-that is all her daddy.whack as he is in promoting other artists that he manages. |
| |
|
|
| brea |
|
| |
also- a re-release and a live album do not count as albums that play into the contract fulfillment.
and,j and beyonce may owe the companies money.they both sold a lot,but with the calibre as artists were expected to sell much more.hence the re-release,etc.it takes money to make the album,promote,tours,etc.if your album doesn't make a certain amount,you owe money to the label.they will take that money off the top of your next release. |

First off let me say......
Jay Z was successful at being president of DEF JAM bc that was a company that was already SUCCESSFUL B4 HE STEPPED IN. That's not to say he can build a company from the ground up. Rocafella was started by Dame who was business minded. Not to take away anything from Jay he's a black man and I hope that along the way he has learned something but to say that DEF JAM is shaking in their boots PLEASSSEEE.
NEXT...
Beyonce can barely run her life yet alone run a company. Matthew already has a company so why would he want to share his limelight with his daughter's BOYFRIEND!!!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
If Beyonce is going to leave a billion dollar company to sign as a new artist with a start up company be it her's or not she is a damn fool. I have yet to see an artist be so stupid. No artist other Puffy has ever done that and really been successful and he only is because he steals from all the other artist on the level so if that's what Rihanna, Neyo and Nas (where is he anyway) wants then DEF JAM should be happy. The lable fell off once JAY became president anyway. |

If you would reference the article above, it states that Jay and B want to create a "super label". If you are familiar with Wal-Mart's slogans, they refer to themselves as the "superstore" so therefore, I was simply making light of the references to "super". Jay and B are trying to allegedly create the "Walmart of Music"...you can't knock a man for trying. If Jay never tried, he'd never have made it as far as he has. |

LOK AT HOW MATTHEW KNOWLES IS DOING SUNSHINE ANDERSON..WHERE IS THE PROMOTION...BEYONCE CAME OUT WITH A RE-RELEASE OF B'DAY AND HE IS PROMOTING HARD...BOTH OF THESE LADIES CD'S DROPPED ABOUT THE SAME TIME...WHERE IS THE PROMOTION FOR KELLY'S CD...JUNE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF SHYT THEIR ARTIST WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND BELIEVE ME..MANY ESTABLISH ARTIST WILL NOT GO THAT ROUTE. |

I'm not saying Jay z is not smart, but if I was on def jam I wouldn't want to leave with him out of all those artist only Neyo and Rhianna is worth anything?
LL Cool j said it best Jay Z is good at marketing hiself.

BEYONCE IS JAY'S TROPY, BUT I BET HE IS CREEPIN ON THE SIDE AND THEIR SEX LIFE IS PROBABLY BORING. WHATEVA I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD MIX BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE, BUT TO EACH ITS OWN. |

IF this is the deal, then good luck to them both. They seem to have enough business sense between the two of them to make this a successful venture..

MTO I wish you guys would make up your minds. A couple of weeks ago they were broken up...now they're starting a label?? That's a pretty risky business move for Jay and I doubt he signed on for that. Besides, I don't think Mr. Knowles is ready to share the cash train he's been riding on throughout B's career. I don't believe this one. |

We all know that Beyonce can't do anything without daddy's approval. I don't believe this one (nor do I beleive the marriage). If either of the two were going to make that kind of move, it would never leak out. I don't think anybody is "shaking in their boots." |

Thats great hopefully they will be successful. Jay Z needs to keep his girlfriend in the studio working with music where we all luv her and off THE BIG SCREEN where she can not act at all. Thank You Jigga... Hopefully that will keep her preoccupied and give her less exposure in front of the scenes cause she needs a break! I am not saying shes not hot but shes a little played out. |

Once again I have to say, who really gives a fat rats A$$ what Harry the Camel does. Yeah get own label, and take along your dingy puppet Lion King-Beyonce with you. And your secret lover Rhianna to keep your ugly a$$ entertained while Beyonce is away. People in the regular world don't care about cheating on each other. Men have cheated on the woman known to be the most beautiful woman in the U.S.-Halle Berry. So there is no doubt in my mind that Jay Z will definitely be keeping Rhianna around for backup pleasures. It's not like he hasn't done it before...i.e. Him and Nas wife had an affair for a few years, plus a pregnancy that was unknown at the time. Young ladies need to open their eyes and realize that older men want you because they know it's easier to run game on you...DUH!!! |

The extreme ignorance and crabs in the barrel mentality on this site are pathetic--people this is 2007!!
If this story is true, this is the pinnacle of success!!!
These are all experienced business people--Beyonce included (who do think has been working her azz off to sell all these records and do all these shows?) who are now poised to take things to the next level as only NATURAL for them to want to do, as a loving, devoted and skilled BLACK FAMILY. To stop grinding for the man but to have their own label and keep more of the money themselves (take it easier and start that family), as well as employ others and help more artists be heard and realize their dreams.
They have ALL the talent, experience and access to the best lawyers, accountants, and other advisors money can buy to structure the deal covering any contingency or change of events in the future that they will ever need.
Yes it could fail. SO WHAT??? Because something could fail don't try??? What if it becomes a wild success? Could we as a people claim that victory and encourage each other instead of continuing to be so ugly to each other, harsh and negative?
PLEASE STOP TEARING BLACK PEOPLE DOWN THAT HAVE THE GUTS TO GET OUT THERE AND PLAY THE GAME! BUILD THESE BEAUTIFUL BLACK PEOPLE UP. GO MATTHEW, SHAWN AND BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU!!!!!!!!! DO YA THANG!!!!!!!! |

If this is true, i'm happy for them and i wish them the best. However, i don't believe this story completely. IF it's true, then i think Jay and B are already married. Neither of them are stupid, and i can't see them entering into something this big while just being bf/gf or engaged. I don't believe that Matthew Knowles will be a big part of this venture, if he's truly a part of it at all. B seriously went out of her way to do "B-Day" WITHOUT her fathers' involvement, so why would she invite him into this large of a venture ? You wouldn't do that after making such a bold statement of business independence. Maybe J would be paying him just to keep him out of his hair. Personally, i think the biggest problem House of Dereon had was Tina Knowles' designs. Frankly, i'll believe this one when i see it. |

i dont believe this [EXPLETIVE] and if they really where making a "super" label no one would sign to it becuz everyone knows that the other artist music would not get the proper exposure it should get as long as beyonce is still putting out music |
