There's probably a bunch of Power Stripe floating through the Def Jam offices right now.
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?'
I used to be a Def Jam artist. I was - I survived Def Jam.
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.
Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella were two equal entities under the Def Island umbrellas.
I like to compare the attitude and energy of an emerging start-up to that of the early hip-hop era. From working at labels like Bad Boy and Ruff Ryders, walking into the Def Jam offices, A Touch of Jazz and things like that, the vibe is that off making something out of nothing and making things work, and that's what I love about start-ups.
Def Jam is an iconic label.
I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.
Def Jam is the reason why I started a label.
I never had to ask Def Jam for anything.
I was always self-sufficient even when I was with Def Jam.
Would I have signed to Def Jam if I knew they was deaf? Nah.
When people see that we're signed to Def Jam, the perception has changed.
People don't get signed by Def Jam every day on my block.
I pride myself on being the guy who can do Def Comedy Jam and Charlie Rose. And do well on both.
Leaving Def Jam was kind of a blessing in disguise because we can make whatever record we want.
When I first came to Def Jam, in '06, all we ever did was win, put up big numbers.
