advertisement advertisement The leak late last week of an angry email from rapper Nas to the folks running the label that may or may not be putting out his new record this winter, Def Jam (subject: “Put my shit out!” — text below), is shocking mostly because it was leaked at all. You hear plenty of rumblings in the press these days about artists battling their labels (Lupe Fiasco’s Twitter-fueled protest outside of his label, Atlantic, for example), but you rarely get to see the explosion up close. Then again, it’s a volatile time. Labels aren’t making as much money, the musicians aren’t making as much money, and they scream at one another as they flame out.

That involves figuring out how many cases we can take, [devising] legal strategies, and managing attorneys and project managers in our [five] other offices. I have my own caseload as well, about 30 cases that I’m actively working on, and about 60 that are pending. I go to the detention center about every other week. It’s sensory overload.
