Trinidad James Dropped From Def Jam, Says He Has “No Money”

    Trinidad James is no longer a part of Def Jam, according to rapper’s recent Twitter activity. 

    “I should tell yall. I got dropped by the Label. My Album is now free. If u hear ur beat or verse on it. I hope u want dap cuz i got no money,” the rapper’s Twitter post reads.

    James signed with Def Jam in 2012, following the success of “All Gold Everything.” At the time, he thanked the label.

    “Def Jam, thank you for believing,” James said.

    James released the song and video for “Def Jam” earlier this year.

    They say he’s go crazy, they say he too real,” James raps on the song’s hook. “But being a real nigga got me a deal.”

        cept… scarface bun b tre the truth outkast and the nigga above YOUNG JEEZY

    2. He will be ok. For more entertaining videos Yall Should Visit (Thegrandreport,com) They Have Some Good ones on there too

    3. who didnt see this comin?

      Same thing gonna happen to Bobby Shmurda and he wont even get a gold single like Trinidad.

      1. Get outta my head yo lol. I was thinking the exact same thing. Hate it when these internet “sensations” get signed for their viral hits, but the jokes on them when their careers don’t go very far. Ha ha!

    4. Def jam robbed his ass. They wanted his money but not his talent. Ross would murder their asses if they ever did that to him. Def jam whites likes to takes advantage of blacks. Its like slavery over there.

      1. This faggot has no talent, and it doesn’t fucking matter if this dude is black or not. Remember the Beastie Boys? They were on Def Jam too. Fuck you

    5. How come Trinidad gets dropped but artists like Ghostface and Sheek Louch who don’t sell shit still have deals? I’m not complaining, he’s garbage, but Def Jam has a lot of artists who just sit around and don’t sell records but they stay on the label forever. He must have done something to make someone at Def Jam mad. I’m not impressed

      1. Trinidad James hasn’t put out an album yet, so they figured they wasted time and money signing a guy just off of buzz alone. The difference between him and the guys you mentioned is that they actually put in work, regardless of sales.

      2. Probably cause Ghost and Louch have put out music that has some substance and lasting appeal that still sells and will long outlast anything Trinidad James has put out.

        He’s so boring it’s making me sleepy just thinking about his first mixtape.

        Trinidad is a flash in the pan bubblegum bullshit one hit wonder rapper who thought he could just waltz into the game and spout dumb shit about wearing gold that basically appeals to the lowest common denominator, which is blog hype nerds that just started listening to rap like a year before “all gold everything” dropped and now act like they are rap connoisseurs.

        Maybe he can go back to pawn his fucking gold that he was so stoked to rap about… Or go back to designing wack ass hype beast clothes. Fuck that whole culture. Good riddance. Get a fuckin job and build some character. Or maybe learn to rap about some shit with substance.

      3. cats like sheek and ghost have established fan bases that’ll more likely than not buy their records.

    6. IS THIS NOT THE SAME LAD WHO SO CALLED HAD HOW WE SAY…ALL GOLD EVERYTHING?

      GOOD YOU FAG HIPHOP NEVER NEEDED YOU ANYWAY…I HOPE ALL THE PEOPLE YOU OWE FOR FEATURES AND PRODUCTION CATCH YOU AND BEAT YOUR BROKE ASS BITCH BOY!!!

      FRANK…?
      OH DEAR FRANK….?
      NOW WHERE IS FRANK…?
      THERE YOU ARE FRANK…
      FRANK OCEAN I NEED A HUGE FAVOR FROM YOU…
      WILL YOU DO IT?
      OH ITS VERY SIMPLE REALLY…

      COMMENCE TO FUCK THIS FUCK NIGGA!!!!!

      YES THAT WILL BE ALL…
      THANK YOU FRANK…
      SMOOCHES!!!

      1. Your name is spelled incorrectly, pussy doesnt have 2 u’s and realest, not rellest. Get an education then talk shit.

      1. BITCH I SPELL HOW I WANT YOU POLITICALLY CORRECT FAG!!!!!!

        FRANK OCEAN….

        YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!

    7. This faggot has no talent, and it doesn’t fucking matter if this dude is black or not. Remember the Beastie Boys? They were on Def Jam too. Fuck you

      They are white pop garbage. Def jam treats whites favorably. They undershirt mastermind.

      1. No, the Beasties are true hip-hop mixed with alt-rock, no pop. Def Jam treats artists with good sales favorably. And what’s undershirting something?

    8. All gold-plated everything lol. Good riddance wack ass nicca! Cut that hair and get a fuckin’ job, and hope you get some royalty checks from the niccas you collaborated with who still have deals…

      1. Iggy is a rapper so there’s no way she’s racist but she wack as fuck & really does look like Marlon Wayans in White Chicks.

      2. How about googling some of her racist comments and tweets then you would know. She is racist towards the indigenous tribe in Australia, said some racist shit about Mexicans. Even dissed her own country in the Billboard Article, saying that Australian hip hop consists of the outbacks and kangaroo only.

        Let the truth free you

    9. he’s gonna be trading in “all gold everything” for “collecting aluminum cans for lunch money”

    10. hahhaah his 5 minutes of fame are up. Get a drake feature if u can afford it because drake makes or breaks carreers.

      1. can u not read? he says hes broke and cant even pay for the d list features he already got LOL, drake is out of the question unless he was feeling charitable.

      2. I’m from Canada but Drake sucks. I’m shocked he’s so popular in the US especially in California. He’s a better comedian than musician by far.

    11. Haha and this is after his retarded South runs NY comment. I’m not surprised Def Jam dropped him.

    12. That’s what’s up he kept it real, remain humble and hope he picks himself back up…. not many people would admit that let alone a famous person… never cool to make fun of somebodies down fall……

    13. Any money he had from his one hit got spent getting jeezy TIP n for sum reason 2 chainz on the remix

    14. If he is broke, why is he releasing his album for free?! Put the album on Bandcamp or Bandzoogle and you can make abit of money atleast to get you by the next couple months

    15. All broke with no chains
      All broke with no chains
      Don’t believe me just watch
      Don’t believe me just watch

      [watch a groupie/dickrider/stan say some slick shit like “where’s your career” “oh he got more money than you” This L is for you too]

    16. “And yo, to y’all niggas who think you going to become an MC overnight
      YaknowhatI’msayin? Better snap out that fuckin dream
      Man it takes years for this you Cat in the Hat ass rappers
      You Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose, simple minded
      (Stop runnin up on niggas with all that wack shit)
      Word up man (talking bout “you MC”)
      You ain’t no MC; niggas ain’t made for this yaknowhatI’msayin?”

      I swear, RZA was so ahead of his time when he said this back in ’97.

      1. *quotes intelligent verse from intelligent stereotypical rapper*

        *quotes how ahead of his time that rapper was, cuz every rapper ive heard is ahead of his time*

      2. Hahaha, on point with that gem. He made a prophecy about RNB, or rap & bullshit too. Ahead of his team indeed.

      3. Yup. he was 100% spot on. Its crazy because Wu tang Forever came out in 1997, and the garbage back then was nothing like it is now.

    17. Possibly the best news all year.

      So the label drops him, he can’t afford shit and the fucking idiot wants to give out his album for FREE? I guess that’s the only way he’s gonna get heard and gain any hype. Besides it’s not like anyone was ever gonna buy it. I mean let’s be real here, the only person who would of bought this would be a billionaire pothead who would buy 100 copies, staple the inserts together and laugh his ass off as he uses the album cover for toilet paper and the empty cases as ashtrays. The discs would obviously be used for hitting the light switch from the comfort of their couch.

      1. No, I’m not getting any drugs or pussy, I’m 14. Maybe you let your kids do drugs but not in our family 🙂

    18. In this day and age with social media do rapper really need to sign to a major or would they be better off going the independent route

    19. He should be broke. He has not skills. He can’t rap. Next up should Lil Boosie, Web, 2Chains. They all suck and should be bagging groceries.

      1. He had a gold single though. Def Jam dropped the ball, cause if they would have released the album to coincide with the song, he could have done decent numbers. Even Chief Keef saw an album lol Def Jam fucked up.

      1. I don’t think so. Rappers actually like 2 Chains. Once you get Black balled you can’t make money. Unless your 50

      2. He already knows the in’s and out’s of the industry. 2 Chainz will make plenty of money so he won’t need to worry about releasing albums.

    20. This is why when you’re up you’re supposed to be humble about it and appreciate it. ‘Cause when you’re down nobody’s gonna feel sorry for your doofy ass. You were just a gimmick anyway son. The sneaker phone of rap.

    21. Looks like we won’t be hearing anything else from the creator of downsyndrome rap genre. Rest In Piss u fuckin fake faggot, hope u die a slow gruesome death u queer.
