Quote of The Day: Def Jam CEO Slams Claims That Label Is Broke

“I don’t know what the f*ck they’re talking about. Def Jam is not broke, it’s on fire!! We just did a deal with Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music and Big Sean’s album is a great success and will continue to garner a lot of attention...Watch The Throne has the whole world buzzing. Jeezy got an album coming out...Rihanna just ended her amazing tour...Frank Ocean is on the verge of super stardom. Rick Ross and so many other great artists are part of our incredible roster...Let me be clear, Def Jam is on fire.” - Chairman & CEO Barry Weiss, on the current state of Island Def Jam.

      I'm not saying I'm not waiting for the album. I'm saying the singles he's put out (so far) and his overall promotion, aren't doing him any favors.
