50 is a GOAT. The Kanan Tape, No Romeo and Juliet, and the G-Unit reunion EPs were all great. Dude can still make classic hooks and drop some hot songs. I'm just as excited for 50s first solo album since Before I Self Destruct as I am for Revival. Bless us, Boo Boo.

So ur telling me the rumored collab album between 50 and eminem released on def jam has a chance?

"last album"

Cuz 10 years ago, 50 said if he got outsold by Kanye, he would retire. 10 years later and he's still at it.

I dont believe anything will be "last" unless he dies or gets too old.

What if Paul signs all of Shady 1.0 to Def Jam/Shady

 

Nov 1, 2017

Dont steal my joy...lemme be happy for 50s last album ok? hahah

 

Nov 1, 2017

I was thinking more Obie Trice, D12 & DJ Green Lantern lol

 

Nov 1, 2017

One of the fan pages that 50 interacts with posted he was at a Def Jam Halloween party last night & their is big news coming.

I wonder if it's directly under Def Jam or through Eminem via Shady Records/Def Jam?

Nov 1, 2017

obie trice next. jew jimmy is the reason why interscope rap went to s---

 

Nov 1, 2017

if 50 moving to Def Jam and Shady Records do too then I believe Eminem an an artist will move too, maybe this next album he drops is the last one under Interscope and that's why Interscope paying so much for Revival Ads and try to promote it. If we witness Shady Records with 50 Cent again under Def Jam we BLESSED!

 

Nov 2, 2017

Nov 1, 2017

Steven Victor Appointed Exec VP and Head of A&R at Def Jam

With longtime Eminem manager Paul Rosenberg officially stepping into the CEO role at Def Jam Records in the new year, his executive team is beginning to take shape. Coming into the label as EVP and head of A&R effective immediately is Steven Victor. He will oversee A&R efforts for a roster that includes Kanye West, Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz, Logic, Alessia Cara, Desiigner, and Vince Staples, among others.

The 37-year-old Victor, who is among the industry “New Leaders” profiled in the latest issue of Variety, arrives from Universal Music Group, where, in Nov. 2016, he was named SVP of A&R working across multiple UMG labels including Def Jam, Republic and Interscope-Geffen-A&M.

Victor says that weeks after meeting Rosenberg, whose appointment was announced in early August, an offer was presented to join the label and came with the blessing of UMG chairman Lucian Grainge. “Paul and I had a meeting to talk about music and the artists I was working with, and we just hit it off. … We found out we had very similar tastes in music and we’ve been in constant communication — daily — ever since.” Of course, adds Victor, “Sir Lucian was my first call.”

Asked to describe the corporate mandate of his new home under Rosenberg, Victor says Def Jam stands for “a cutting edge hip-hop label embedded in the culture of music.” The plan for the not-too-distant future includes staffing up, but Victor is also relying on skills from his own experience. “I come from a management background, and whether it’s the marketing or the making of an album, you interact with people from all over the entertainment industry,” he says. “I know how to leverage these different platforms for my artists.”

During Victor’s previous position at UMG, he simultaneously ran G.O.O.D. Music, the imprint founded by Kanye West and distributed through Def Jam, as well as his own William Victor Management Group. But it was his work “in the center of multiple labels across multiple genres” that allowed Victor a view of the “global network” that Universal offered. “I moved around,” he says. “I was in publishing; I worked with Bravdo, the merch company; I spent a lot of time in Japan and Europe. I took advantage of my position to learn all the different things UMG could do as a company.”

Victor joins another recent hire from within the Universal family: Scott Greer, who was named Def Jam’s EVP of Marketing & Commerce in mid-August, arriving from Capitol Records. The label’s longtime EVP of promotion, Rick Sackheim, however, is bound for Sony Music’s Epic Records at the end of the year when his contract with Def Jam expires. CEO Steve Bartels remains during a transition period. He has held the top post at Def Jam since 2014.

Don’t see 50 singing to def Jam for one album then bouncing though. Aren’t record deals usually like 3 albums ?

 

Nov 1, 2017

I don’t care what label he on. If 50 has the right production his album will be f---ing flames.
