    WTF are you talking about? I am not talking about Roc-a-Fella. I'm talking about the whole Def Jam empire. How many platinum plaques were around in rap before Jay-Z and how many after? Even garbage shit sells platinum these days.

    My only comment on this is you really can't count Def Jam as one of Jay-Z's accomplishments as DJ has been up there for many, many years before JZ came aboard or even came into rap. Ya dig?

    Then you wouldn't be able to count Cube's movies n shit.

    Not saying he built Def Jam (thats obvious), but he is the President of it. He will be helping guide hip-hop in what ever direction it will go. Cube can't do that with his own label/entertainment companies.

    No. You can include Cube with his movies. It's his company that he started. Jay Z didn't start Def Jam. He didn't nearly bring it where it is today. If Def Jam stays on top and rises again, then Jay Z could be given credit for that. I didn't discredit his clothing line because he did that. He sold it, though. And Ice Cube can guide his production company into whatever direction it goes. Later, QD.
