Rumor 12/25/07 - Will Jay-Z Pull a Madonna w/Live Nation?

Queensbridge · 12-25-2007, 09:55 PM

The NY Times has more on Jay-Z's departure from Def Jam and mentions in passing the possibility of a Madonna-type deal with Live Nation's new Artist Nation division.

Such a possibility makes a lot of sense though Jay-Z seems fairly comfortable overseeing his own interests however they intersect with corporate structures. Guess the rumor mill will be churning with possibilities of what'$ next. Of course, he does still have an album or two on the contract for Roc-A-Fella but one step does lead to another.

Update:
Going with Artist Nation does make a huge amount of sense. Jay-Z's so good at doing Jay-Z that he really just needs structures that support that, not structures for A&R, artist development or anything else that a Jay-Z would not need.

Now that he's gotten an incredibly profitable education at Def Jam, he's got to have a sense of the big picture beyond what most artists ever achieve. If he combined Artist Nation's services with his own branded entertainment company, he's set to maximize his career as an entertainer while pursuing such projects as J Hotels, the 40/40 Club chain and related business endeavors with other partners and companies.
