Jay Z leaves Def Jam!!!

Today it was reported that Jay Z will be stepping down from his post as the President of Def Jam Records in 2008.
Many artists and industry insiders have been questioning his budget decisions for the past few years as well as lack of caring for anyones projects except his own.
Its going to be interesting to see how this unfolds in the next few months.
Check the link to the story at All Hip Hop
My Question is: Is Jay Z leaving Def Jam a good or a bad thing for the label? Who do you think would make a great prez for Def Jam? Whats your thoughts on this situation???
and while we’re on topic… who heard the shots Joe Budden threw at Hov on the new album/mixtape Mood Musik 3? This definitely is another perspective from an aritist who was signed to Def Jam
TALK TO EM!!
Peep the joint below.
Here is recap of Jay Z’s tenure as President of Def Jam. It includes some of the ups and downs while he was in office. So the real question is, is Hov to blame? or are a lot of artists just being lazy, and blamming him for people not paying attention to their albums? Hmmm…..
