Jermaine Dupri will not be signing artists. He will be signing spokesmen for Tag body spray. He just created the first marketing/record label.
Island/Def Jam will get all the money from this deal and when they are through with the artists they will just throw them away. The poor artists will have no credibility after shilling body spray and will be back working at McDonald’s.
This deal is bad for artists, music, and the industry. It will encourage other declining record companies to follow. And, who knows what will happen; we might have to listen to MC Donald and the Grill Master on the radio!
