It's not the label part that's the problem. It's the distribution and such that are provided by major labels, itunes, etc.jono;4745277 said:Its not easy...especially because of media consolidation, but there's enough multi-millionaires in hip-hop to create a super-label.

Motherfuckers like Iovine can't run the game forever.

Definition:
A&R stands for artist and repertoire. For record labels, the A&R reps are the people who find new artists and sign them to the label (although in reality, there may be more than one person involved in the decision to sign the musician to the label). A&R reps are the musicians' point of contact at the label during contract negotiations and they facilitate things like setting up the advance, booking recording sessions where required and anything else that needs to be done to act ready for release. They also play an important role in development of the artist - how the band will be marketing, sometimes choosing songs for the musicians to record if they don't write their own material and building a basic promotional foundation for the album and the band.
I guess he will oversee people in that position.
But why is he getting this job and he could not successfully develop an artist on his own label?
He's not an A&R SMMFH he's the Vice President of all the A&R's on Atlantic. This gives him the type of scope to not only oversee Rappers but also A&Rs and artists in genres like Rock, Country, Pop artists and more. Senior Vice President is the type of position awarded to old white men & women. We should be happy for our brother Jay's come up. Nevermind developing his own artists he can find the people for him to do that and even get newer types of artists from more profitable genres.

He is no Lil Wayne or Rick Ross when it comes to discovering and polishing talent.
Oh for sure I can respect that. I guess only time will tell if he does a good job or not. Notice how these cats never hold on to these jobs for long tho ? Jay was CEO for like a year, Jim Jones (fired for spazzing out LOL), Khaled, etc. I wonder if they actually look at resumes or if they just grabbing these guys just cuz.

Jeezy aint worried about Rozay, hes worried about Gibbs, Tone Trump & Scrilla
Rozay aint worried about Jeezy hes worried about Gunplay, Stalley & Rockie Fresh

I don't believe in the blood sacrifice theories but the Fed raids Griff is talking about did happen.
Hopefully we can get more and more Brothers in these executive positions and push these crackers out and take back ownership of the music.
We Winnin'.
The game has progressed far enough to were an artist can thrive and survive outside of a major label just using social media to put their own music on ITunes, videos on YouTube and promo on Twitter/Facebook etc. I think David Banner had the right formula with efforts earlier to pull the plug from the Matrix and more artists should take note.
