Jay-Z Wants to Rule the World?
Not really. But the gossip experts at Page Six are dishing that Hov has been making some ridiculous demands lately.
JAY-Z wants his own label, but can’t find a home for it. Jay-Z, who left his position as president of Def Jam to be an entrepreneur last year, is apparently asking “way too much,” an insider said. “He wants a label to give him $100 million for the Carter Music Group and provide for overhead, development and digital investment. It’s crazy. He wants the labels to basically be his venture capital fund — but unlike a venture cap, they won’t get 50 percent. This is not the ’90s anymore.” A rep for Jay-Z, who is branching out into hotels and bars, called this account “rumors.”
He’s not a businessman, he’s a business, man.

it does look ridiculous ‘cos in the music biz there are no guarantees. I’d think that by now though Jay could do a distro deal whereby he can go fully digital and have another one with a company that can put out vinyl and cd’s..won’t he have a better deal that way?

It’s true though, majors are still operating like it’s 1999 and everyone’s selling a mill their first week. At least (if half of this holds any truth) Hov is honest enough to step to them like that.
Takes money to make money.
Oh, and me too Rizoh!

@ Dayne Dame could still have the ROC if he just would have gave Jay the masters to Resonable Doubt so that shit about Jay taking the ROC from Dame is a bunch of bullshit.
