I’m not surprised if they fold. Def jux used to be Ill. Many great artist like rjd2, c rayz, can ox. After they left cause I heard elp is a asshole and didn’t pay them, all we heard is emo crap. Cage’s justin beiber haircut. Cage is like 30somethong years old acting 15 with his yak clone. I guess he wants that crowd. Def jux fans and followers aren’t into that shit. What happen to the real hip hop? Aesop and el will always in my opinion put out great album. Rip def jux.

Everybody has it all wrong. What killed Def Jux was RJD2 leaving the label. In case you didn’t remember, his departure really upset El-P. RJ didn’t want to release a non-hip hop album on Def Jux, so he went elsewhere. It was after that point that Def Jux started releasing more non-hip hop music ( probably to compensate for what El felt could have been a stellar Jux record). Vast Aire’s song didn’t end Def Jux. That’s just ridiculous because “Battle of the Planets” was barely a blip on the hip hop radar. People don’t give RJD2 enough credit. He was one of the most important elements of early Jux.

WOOOOW, just look at what Vast Aire’s Battle of the Planets did to that label! This is basically what happens when your fake and switch your style up more than you switch draw’s!! That whole label has nothing to offer to hiphop anymore and El-P saying he wants to try something new just means hes going to do what cage did and do some garbage that aint hiphop at all to try to sell some records to a new generation!! I always said this new shit def jux does is lame and emo and it wont go no where and look now!! Not even your emo fans was buying your records anymore!! I heard cage sold double wood in the hood with his new album DFM!! Thats bad especially when your on Mtv and your myspace page is getting over 50,000 plays a day!! Womp!! Its over for def jux!! FINALLY!!

Sucky news, but the signs were all there for the last few months. Not having the Camu album drop after El-P hyping it all year was the big one for me (and I am still really looking forward to hearing it)
