DiamondsFloodedthey are in the credits of the video
I appreciate the response but I just watched the credits of the video and didn’t see a def jam logo or mention, just Blonde and Boys Don’t Cry. Maybe I’m missing something. Apple Music also doesn’t show a label for the video like it would for an album at least for me, I’m not sure if it used to

Water GiverDef Jam counted it as an official release
Endless "fake album" ish is dumb tho and just created by people upset at the Endless stair stream - it is an actual project and the songs were genuine worked on songs with Vegyn, he just didn't put any effort into it outside of the music to not waste his own time getting out of there and to not give anymore money to def jam
That's the facts, but on my own conjecture:
- to me he gave them the more "artsy" album that wouldn't make as much money and especially with him not working it to def jam to not feed them, while keeping the more "commerical" album for himself to make money off of to survive whatever transition period and potential issues might arise that would get him till his (at the time) next planned release
Vegyn so f***ing underrated. Almost tagged plants cause of headache lmao

I just meant “fake album” for the sake of the convo and from Def Jam’s POV. Endless is obviously an incredible album that had blood, sweat, and tears poured into it, but the label really couldn’t profit off of it in any way since it wasn’t released traditionally

sfsorrowI would argue blonde is more experimental honestly because of what it does with traditional pop song structures and melodies
Endless does that too though, and it’s even more extreme
Blonde is obviously experimental as well but there’s still a bow of palatability wrapped up on it

mr get doughHis contract was drafted in like 09 lol
I feel like his contract def got reworked once Def Jam cared enough to back an album release
No way they saw nU drop and cO roll out without making amendments

This is why I think @2words may have somewhat of a point
If he only had one album to fulfill left on his deal, it makes no sense why Def Jam would allow a video-only streaming release that they can’t fully profit off of be the album that fulfills that deal, it doesn’t sound right unless there’s something we don’t know

You’re greatly overestimating the intelligence in the halls of Def Jam in 2016
