I used to be a Def Jam artist. I was - I survived Def Jam.

Black Thought

When Def Jam wanted to sign Method Man, they wanted to sign Method Man and Old Dirty. And Old Dirty wanted to be on Def Jam - everybody, that was like the dream label. But if I had Old Dirty and Method Man on Def Jam, that's two key pieces going in the same direction, whereas there's other labels that needed to be infiltrated.

Rza

Def Jam commented on one of my Instagram photos once, and all my friends me hit me up, like 'Yoooooo, you signed to Def Jam?'

Amine

There is always a bit of pressure to do a good album - to do good work, period. I really put a lot of pressure on myself, more so than other people. But I try not to let that overwhelm me to the point where I can't even do good work. I just put it aside and do the best that I know that I can.

Aaliyah

What made me want to become a recording artist; I was the first artist that was repeatedly asked by a label to record with them. That label was Def Jam Records.

Chuck D

Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella were two equal entities under the Def Island umbrellas.

Damon Dash

All the pressure I have is from myself. I have a lot of pressure inside me. I wanna be great. I don't wanna be average.

Brother Ali

I always had pressure on myself through my life. I put pressure on myself and not from other people. I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers. So the pressure comes from myself.

Meek Mill

I pride myself on being the guy who can do Def Comedy Jam and Charlie Rose. And do well on both.

Chris Rock

When I first came to Def Jam, in '06, all we ever did was win, put up big numbers.

Rick Ross

Def Jam was always trying to get me to put out an album because I had 'Toot It and Boot It.'

When the news is slow, or when there's just so many other responsibilities bearing down on me that I don't have the time to do it right, that's when it gets frustrating. As an artist, you just don't wanna put bad work out. So when you have to do it seven days a week, you're just gonna have some bad days and bad weeks and bad months and bad years.

Aaron McGruder

To me, Def Jam put my career on hold. I was used to making 13-14 songs a year, and they trickled that down to nothing.

Mannie Fresh

There's a certain amount of pressure that you get from being a popular artist, and I think in the past I put a lot of pressure on myself, too. But I always knew that writing hits wasn't really my strong suit.

Alison Sudol

I just put pressure on myself to work hard.

Jalen Brunson

I think that, right now, I am travelling in many different directions in my mind, on where I wanted to be. So much is wantin' to go back, but I still gotta move forward. But I think it's just that I'm my worst critic at all times, you know? And when I make somethin', it may be five or ten cuts later before I actually call it what it is. I've always been that kind of artist. I'm gonna put myself through the sweat for it, because I think, as an artist, that's what made me iller, is the fact that I didn't wanna just put out anything and everything. It's just a process, you know what I mean?
