Being that he's the VP of A&R, wouldn't he also be the guy that introduced Eminem to Bobby Creekwater and Cashis as well? Stat Quo was an Aftermath signee too, so I suppose we'll let him slide on that one. Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse were also special cases.

I'm not sure how I feel about this leaving. Hoping it's a good sign, afraid it might be a bad one.

Yeah, it might be him. But he also did a lot of good things for Em and he seemed close to him so I don't really know.

Guess this is what 50 Cent said by "like 30 people got fired/left" and executive changes.

He was definitely responsible for Bobby Creekwater, I just read that in an article with PMP.

On the other hand, he also played a big role in getting 50 Cent signed. He gave 50 Cent's tape to a security guy that rode around with Eminem a lot, and that's how Em heard him the first time.

Eh, I'm not sure if I like this guy or not.

Well it's funny because I was reading the making of HTS and Radioactive (made by Complex) just yesterday. And they mentioned his name a few times. He's like the guy you have to know if you want to contact Eminem.

They're probably better without him.

Really want Shady Records to be big again
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Yeah they probably are. That way Em won't be getting any shitty beats.

Do you have an actual source for this? His Twitter account mentions nothing about it.
