Gossip talk? Real Talk?
************.com has just learned that execs over at Def Jam have decided not to extend an offer to Jay Z to continue on as head of the label. Details are still sketchy, but word is that they've already beginning to look for a successor - and so far Jermaine Dupri is the leading candidate.

    I heard one of the reasons he even took the job(that he didnt do well) was to secure his Masters.

    At this point it doesnt really matter who takes his position at Def Jam. I dont see them making any real waves anymore.

    pretty much. another one bites the dust.

    I bet everything is folded back into universal in a couple of months.

    Still, having Jay in that position just makes it seem better to me. Having an artist head a label is ALWAYS better than some 50-something geek in a suit who was a former lawyer or accountant.
