Jay-Z Steps Down As President of Def-Jam
"Now it's time for me to take on new challenges," he said in a statement. "I am pleased to have had the opportunity to build upon the Def Jam legacy."
And build he did. In addition to discovering huge artists like Rihanna, Beyonce's man created a ton of other companies that spun off from Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam records. He's got clothing lines, a Reebok sneaker line, and has opened a string of clubs called 40/40.
After he packs up his Def-Jam digs, I'm sure Jay will go on to continue to dominate the music biz. His first stop will be the Grammy Awards -- where he's nominated for five big ones.

I got a digital camera for christmas and i loooove it!! LMAO this news is boring me... i cant keep up with Jay and his retirement and un-retirement, marriage but no marriage. Hes too confusing!! lol
Don't care for this big ego dude. Did like his Annie song remake a few years back.
Hey LuvMyJolie! Yipee! Maybe I'll have you take some pics of me in my new diamond earrings! : )
I agree! He's always starting and stopping stuff. I think he gets awfully bored.
Don't let the smooth taste fool you, homeboy was fired.
Def Jam has had a very turbulent time under Jay Z's reign.
This dude has some huge lips man
Not so interesting at all for this news. The hot topics on one celebity dating site can attract me, a community of bimingle.commmm, which is free dating and meeting for hot bisexual guys to discuss hot topics. Much better. Hope you are hot too and can get exciting
I'm gonna leave this one alone.. ah hell i cant do it, "ugly is as ugly does" and this man has done some wonderful things with his fortune. what does lips or looks have to do with it? i bet if he offered you some cash he wouldn't seem so UGLY then.
i think that he is at a point in life where he wants to settle down marriage , kids you know that time of thing. also i think that jay-z has vary sexy lips, and lady b is a vary luck girl.
