Didn't Jay read that thing from Guy @ EMI about artists being too greedy? But wait, Hov is an exec too and no one (in the biz) is claiming they're underpaid. Shit...this is just too damn confusing.

Seriously though, what has he done at DefJam other than piss other artists off?

As awesome this world would be if he signed Creed, I just don't see that happening.

My heart says Ben Folds, my head says "You're too fucking optimistic"...

Anyway I don't think anyone would say he's done a great job at Def Jam, he should probably go back to just focusing on Roc-A-Fella now that they have a decent active roster for the first time in years (Kanye and Freeway and Beanie albums in '07, Jadakiss and Uncle Murder and Tru Life and Peedi Crakk albums due in '08).
