G.O.O.D. Music Becomes An Official Label Under Island Def Jam

    Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music has inked an exclusive long-term worldwide label agreement with Island Def Jam Music Group. The first release under the terms of the new agreement is Big Sean’s Finally Famous, cementing the Detroit, Michigan up-and-comer as G.O.O.D. Music’s flagship artist.

    “G.O.O.D. Music is an exciting new chapter in the long and successful association of Kanye West and Island Def Jam,” said Barry Weiss, Chairman and COO of Universal Motown Republic Group and IDJMG. “As a recording artist and a producer over the past eight years, there is no one who has made a greater impression on the game than Kanye.  We look forward to working closely with the new and established artists that he will be bringing to G.O.O.D. Music, which is already off to an impressive start with Big Sean.”

    Previously, G.O.O.D. Music was described as a “family and like a production company.” Last year, GLC told HipHopDX that “you get a distribution deal and if you’re a G.O.O.D Music artist, then you come out on G.O.O.D Music and the distribution deal.”

    Kanye will continue to serve as a core recording artist on Def Jam Records. “Kanye’s genius has been proven time and time again on records and onstage,” said Steve Bartels, President and COO of IDJMG. “He not only pours it out for himself, but he has made the difference with his presence on innumerable projects with other artists who are indebted to him.  Kanye is an integral core member of the IDJ family, and G.O.O.D. Music continues his unselfish tradition of bringing along great new artists to the forefront.”

      1. It’s the perfect insult right? G.A.Y Music! Because Kanye’s gay! AMIRITE PEOPLE COME ON. PLEASE LOOK AT ME. I NEVER GET ANY RECOGNITION IN MY LIFE. GRANTED I GO BY ANONYMOUS AND THEREFORE FORGO ANY RECOGNITION BUT I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO THINK I’M AT LEAST SOMEWHAT FUNNY SO I DON’T HAVE TO FEEL SO ALONE!

      1. lol are you serious big sean would out rap everyone on CMR lol and he’s the young gun dont forget GOOD music got Pusha T on deck #imjustsayin

      2. I understand what you meant, Joseph. The majority of the masses on here are fuckin idiots.

        To boot, this nigga said big sean would outrap anyone on CMR. That was rich. I’m not a Wayne fan cause he’s borderline wack and flat out weird now but…

        Wayne’s career overall > big sean’s life

        (shrugs shoulders) I mean seriously. Wayne’s throwaway shit is better than Big Sean’s LP.

      1. vanno davis…u gettin paid to back up GOOD music or something? coz if u juss dick-ridin then..its a got-damn shame

    1. Mos Def, Pusha T, Common, Kanye, Cudi, Big Sean, Mr. Hudson, John Legend, NO ID, and more. How could somebody not like GOOD music?

      1. Common is no longer there. He jus signed with Warner Brothers. The only artist that he has that might sell some records is Big Sean & Pusha T. Thats it! Everybody else I like, but there not gonna sell like that.

    2. They need to sign Nas and Talib Kweli imagine their Debut G.O.O.D> Music Albums shit would be FIRE!!!!!!!!!! Plus they fit the style

      1. Nas is a vet, who should be starting his own label; screw that with “oh, he loves rapper” bs………. A guy whose work in a mailroom since his teens, who is now in his late 20’s-early 30’s . Wants to be promoted. Not still working in the same spot because he feels “comfortable” there. Talib started his own company, “Blacksmith” after his problems with Iovine/Geffen/Interscope. If anything Kayne needs to create a joint venture situation for both individuals

        SLAUGHTERHOUSE>>>> /CY HI/BIG SEAN/GLC

      2. Kanye West>Eminem:believe eminem is better lyrically but consistancy wise Eminem has changed for the worse

        Slaughterhouse>Big Sean Cy HI: Ill admit u got that one right

        KId Cudi> Yelawolf

    4. U guys are so fuck in stupid with these comments. Have of the chimps that comment on these posts arebone track minded. If you don’t support good music then ur just a lil Wayne fan or ur ignorant. Good music is progression in music man.

    5. This is a weak move to me… Not a power move, our explain. Simply put Kanye truthfully has been the most influential artist of the new millenium but, getting a your own label deal at the label that was already raping you didn’t change much, it was enevitable because there is no more rocafella and roc nation some trash even with J Cole. Who I respect as a rapper but he aint gonna sell much because he don’t fit what these bird brain stans out here buy into… But to get back to Yeezy this isn’t a power move because you need your OWN distribution label FUCK being this label of a label situation. You need your own shit!!! That is all!
