NEW YORK – There will be no encore for Jay-Z and Def Jam.

The rapper confirms reports that he has left the record company where he made most of his biggest hits and went from artist to president, and back to artist again.

In an interview with the Web site RapRadar.com, he thanks the label's executives and calls his time at Def Jam "a unique and fulfilling experience."

Last year, Jay-Z and Live Nation struck a wide-ranging deal that included touring, publishing and albums. Jay-Z had owed Def Jam one more record. A representative for Jay-Z declined to elaborate on his comments.

Yeah, His "photo presence" is somewhat like Sinatra's. But other then the fact that he's runnin' things as a black kid off the streets, every thing's normal.

Def Jam was on life support when Jay-Z was the figurehead.

Now look at it SMH.

L.A. Reid's faggot ass can burn in the deepest, darkest, dankest pit of Hell for murdering one of the most historic and iconic Hip-Hop labels in the industry.

Bitch ass queer, faggot, homosexual, egotistical, cocksucking, dick fondling piece of feces.

Die painfully slow, punk motherfucker.

LOL@Barney Gumble hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I agree with what you said about LA Reid. He knows nothing about rap music. He used to be a record company owner with Babyface which was Laface records and most of their artists were r&b singers. Outkast and Goodie Mob were the only rappers on the label. I was surprised to read Ghostface Killah saying in XXL magazine awhile back that he trusts LA Reid to promote his albums. Jay-Z was a terrible president when he was with Def Jam because LL Cool J and DMX complained about him.
