Jay-Z + Apple = record label? - Engadget

Jay-Z + Apple = record label?

You're Apple, and you want to sell more content -- which, in turn, sells more iPods / iPhones / iWhatevers. But you don't want to stay beheld to those fickle, waffling, DRM-obsessed labels. You want to cut out the middle man -- not unlike Starbucks and its homegrown behemoth, Hear Music. And, if the Boy Genius is right, your next step is to hire away none other than the Young Hov, Jiggaman, J-Hova -- Jay-Z -- from his gig as prez of Def Jam records to run your new game. Oh sure, Apple getting deep into the content business is possible. But damned if this one doesn't feel a little funny, even if the rumor does turn out to be true.

lol who are you kidding einstein. That's like journalists saying that "New media" is some miraculous invention that just appeared 2 months ago.

How are you predicting anything when you're just restating the articles inferences?

Apple was ahead of the mainstream curve with it's iTunes store and is a natural at branding and interactive technology. It will be interesting to see how the deal plays out and how vertically integrated it is with all areas of media. It would be premature, without the details, to think that this deal will dominate the industry. There's lots of change going on right now and no single model (such as the broadcast model before it) has risen to power yet.
