Slayer

[edit]

Just thinking the same thing ;) Hip-hop/Thrash metal label anyone? :)JanderVK (talk) 01:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal

[edit]

Should Russell Simmons Music Group be merged with this article, now that the labels have apparently merged? --ClickRick (talk) 10:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pefer to keep them seperate, as they are seperate labels you know and every label deserves an article with Wikipedia whether they've merged or not. --Taylor Karras (talk) 21:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
yeah that's goofy, can we remove the tags?

RydazNrtist

[edit]

Why does RydazNrtist redirect to this page when there is no mention of this group(?) anywhere in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.84.43.2 (talk) 02:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistencies

[edit]

The article says Def Jam was created by Rick Ruben and that Russell Simmons joined him shortly thereafter. But, the info box says the company was founded by Russell Simmons. It can't be both.

Also, the article says that the first single released with a Def Jam Recordings logo was T La Rock & Jazzy Jay's "It's Yours." However, the article for Rick Ruben's band, Hose, says their 12-inch EP was the first recording released with the Def Jam logo. Again, it can't be both.

I don't know enough about Def Jam to say which is correct, but hopefully someone can and will fix these inconsistencies. BucsWeb (talk) 14:00, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 11 August 2015

[edit]

Please fix the end of the page in Def Jam Recordings as it is a huge mess after the current artists section and needs editing.

James Mansfield?

[edit]

The current link in the founders section for "James Mansfield" links to a british attorney that died in 1821. A cursory google search for this name in association with Def Jam's founding comes up empty? Is this a mistake?

Nasty C

Already been noted as such. Robvanvee 10:00, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose to merge the few lines of sourceable content from Def Jam Recordings South East Asia into this article – there isn't enough notability in the other article to warrant a stand-alone topic. Richard3120 (talk) 21:05, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
