Lyor Cohen, CEO of 300 Entertainment, participated in an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit yesterday (October 21).
Throughout the Q&A, Cohen answered a variety of questions on a string of topics including, among others, Young Thug.
One participant asked the music executive whether or not fans can expect to hear Thugger’s debut album, Hy!£UN35, in 2015. They also questioned Cohen on the reasoning behind Thug’s recently canceled tour, “Young Thug: The Hy!£UN35 Tour.”
“What makes Thug such an interesting artist is his lack of predictability and if I knew, I’d be happy to tell you,” Cohen replied.
Cohen also revealed that Travi$ Scott is the best act he’s seen perform live.
Elsewhere, the 300 Entertainment frontman spoke on the need for modern-day music labels to adapt to an ever-changing external environment.
“I think labels in general need to adapt,” he replies when asked about artists’ ability to release their own music through social media and channels of a similar ilk. “Not as a reaction to the DIY, but more because it’s critical to transition from old media to a progressive one.”

Whose on your label?
Just goes to show you how these devils move! They will exploit, promote, and sell anything in the quest for the almighty dollar. Dame Dash might be arrogant and wack, but he’s dead right when calling people like Lyor Cohen “Culture Vultures” who contribute nothing to the culture.
