At some point all good things come to an end...Def Jam's right to Jay-Z's upcoming "Blueprint 3" included. Thats right Hov has flown the Def Jam coop, spending a reported $5million to buy out the remainder of his contract.
"I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely," Jay said in an interview. "I've been in the family for almost my entire career. Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique 'negotiations' ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end...I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music." (Rap Radar)
