Who's Next To Hold Throne

In an interview with Sway Calloway, Irv Gotti spoke the truth about Def Jam. They need a leader that understands the world of hip hop, the culture, the people and then the music. The music is simply a reflection of the lifestyle and culture. One of the reasons a lot of people get upset with so many wannabe rappers is that they are watering down the very thing that represents them and what they've lived. We've seen it all so many times with everything from Tupac and Biggies murders, to T.I. and DMX's repeated jail stints for drugs and alcohol abuse. Originally, the game was more about creativity and lyricism. We've not heard much of that from mainstream artists but there are some representatives. DJ Khaled was appointed as V.P.of Def Jam and head of Def Jam South. He has been responsible for a lot of Florida artists success. Some of those artists were out prior but Khaled's show, his connections and dedication to the game helped to boost their relevance from the clubs to the streets. Now he's being looked at as the next to sit on the throne as president of Def Jam. He was even interviewed by Russell Rush for Global Grind about the open seat. Uncle Russell stressed team work and not changing the business model that's already in place. Khaled claims he understands and plans to keep things in tact, just help dig deeper in the hood. Ironically, Irv must not feel the same because Khaled's name was never mentioned. Some obviously don't feel the same. Russell's shoes are some big shoes to fill. What do you think?
