[@kevinumba6281]

East Coast artist on Def Jam must've been flopping so hard into the early 90's, that it took Warren G to save the label.

[@Israel-nb7ip]

Try doing some research before talking out ya ass. East coast early 90s Def Jam artists were going gold (EPMD, Redman, Slick Rick, etc), which was a big deal back then, to platinum (Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Onyx, Method Man, etc.). Def Jam almost went bankrupt because of bad money management and overextending themselves financially. Warren G came along at the right time to give Def Jam a much needed cash infusion with the huge success of the Regulate single and his album. East coasts artists had nothing to do with the Def Jam financial situation.

[@kevinumba6281]

not necessarily, 1994 was not a good year for def jam overall so yes warren was the man. prior to 94 though def jam was superior. late 80's early 90's .
