Q-Tip Blasts Def Jam Over Trinidad James Signing?

illedout · December 2012

G.O.O.D. Music's Q-Tip is reportedly not applauding Def Jam's latest roster addition of Atlanta rapper Trinidad James and has publicly spoken out.

Rather than post a series of tweets, the rap veteran sent a single shot at Def Jam and told the company to remember the legacy its set.

"Yo @DefJamRecords brass! remember your BRAND! And what@UncleRUSH n co put out. Please! Don't be short sighted," Tip tweeted December 13th. (Q-Tip's Twitter)

I understand his point but, Q-tip signed to the same record label as 2Chains..

The signing of 2chainz to G.O.O.D. Music was a business move to gain Trap fans not because he actually makes good music. Fuck that.

“Lil Reese brings a gritty, authentic perspective to life on the streets ofChicago,” Def Jam Recordings president Joie Manda told AllHipHop.com in a statement today (July 2). “It’s fitting that one of our brightest A&R executives, No I.D. – a fellow Chicago native and superproducer in his own right – brought Reese to us. Artists like Reese are part of our lifeblood here at Def Jam, where we not only cherish our heritage as the definitive label in hip-hop, but seek out, sign and develop the freshest talent our culture has to offer.”

naw, he's just a slightly more coherent Chief Keef. His big record now is "Us" and the remix with Rick Ross and Drizzle

the other guy Lil Durk is not that bad, he's melodic

Alright we get it that this nigga likes to smoke weed. But do you really need to be that high while signing a contract that is going to change your life. Look at lil reese's eyes

blackbloc · December 2012
