No I.D. Weighs In On Irv Gotti's Bid For Def Jam Presidency

No ID should put him on the label staff! That's what REAL businessmen do! Stop thinking small!

Damn ya'll shitting on Irv like he AIN'T accomplished NOTHING!.. ..All ya'll see is murder inc.he that wasn't the first and only thing has accomplished...I'm just saying the man has a resume: Born Irving Lorenzo in Hollis, Queens, in 1971, Gotti's career in the rap industry as a producer began in the mid-'90s when he aligned himself with Mic Geronimo, a New York MC whose debut album, The Natural (1995), featured Gotti's production (as DJ Irv, his onetime moniker). Gotti's big break came when he contributed production to Reasonable Doubt (1996), Jay-Z's debut album. The album became an overnight classic, and soon Gotti's beats were in demand. He next began working with DMX, whose debut album, It's Dark and Hell Is Hot (1998), similarly became a very influential album within the trendy rap industry. Then came Ja's debut album, Venni Vetti Vecci (1999). This album wasn't quite as successful as Jay-Z's or DMX's debuts, but it further established Gotti's hitmaking ability with unknown artists. The hits only increased with each passing year. Following Gotti's success executive producing DMX and Ja, Def Jam -- the label responsible for both artists -- granted the producer his own boutique label, Murder Inc., which Def Jam would market and distribute. This man does have a ear for hip hop music...is all i'm saying....How bad could he be for def jam...I mean what does def jame have to lose at this point?

NO ID might be a homo. usually only homos run record labels. and IRV GOTTI is a FAILED business man. this is the guy that introduced ja rule and lloyd to the world. those were his latest offerings. DEF JAM is a disgrace. they fuck over every legend that made DEF JAM pop and ride the wave of talentless yes man pro homo new rappers.

FUCK DEF JAM. ALL OF THEY're ARTISTS ARE WACK. IRV GOTTI WILL KILL THE BRAND, NO ID IS A SELLOUT.

Quest Love should be named president of Def Jam.

Irv gotti will take def jam down to the ground like he did murder Inc

I THINK I WOULD MAKE A BETTER CHAIRMAN THEN IRV GOTTI BECAUSE HE IS A SOFT ASS R&B PROMOTIN ASS NIGGA!! DEF JAM IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED IF THEY DONT SIGN A REAL NIGGA!! THEY MIGHT AS WELL CALL IT DEF JELLY!! LOLOLOL!!!!!

No Irv Gotti for me; he doesn't have the right vision. Chuck D should be named Def Jam president. He can sign some new progressive artists, and also look after re-releasing the back catalog of the past, classic Def Jam albums, which completely get ignored. He can also sign some old-school artists to "single" deals, for digital EPs, or one-shot albums.

I hope Irv gets the job , because i would LOVE to see the look 50 cents face when he finds out he is the head of the biggest label in rap.

Put Irv in the damn chair he'll be good for def jam!!!!!!
