The official artwork for KiD CuDi's November 9th release, Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager, has been revealed. Pretty simple yet effective. Will def purchase a few copies to support one of my favorite artists of all time ~
In an interview with SOHH, Shyne speaks on his displeasures with Def Jam.
Shyne says Def Jam has no interest in promoting and pushing hip-hop acts as one of his reasons for seeking a new label home.
"I'm definitely trying to get with Cash Money but the Def Jam thing is a question mark right now. I've been fixing to get up out of there for a while now because [Island Def Jam CEO] L.A. Reid don't care about hip-hop. The people up there, they don't know what they're doing. When you don't have a strong leader, where you gonna go? ... They don't care about hip-hop music. You give them a hip-hop record with an R&B singer, you "might" have a chance. They don't care. You got The Roots, Ghostface, Nas, probably the best hip-hop roster you could imagine and they do nothing. L.A. Reid doesn't want nothing to do with rappers -- it's nothing personal, I don't have nothing personal with dude but he makes it known he doesn't care about hip-hop. So I'm really interested in seeing who's gonna replace him. Because I know he's been replaced -- so I wanna find out who's gonna take his spot before I decide what I'm gonna do with Def Jam...The music that we make is responsible for pop, R&B, everything that's jumping right now..."
