Apple starting record label with Jay-z and Beyonce? Orly?

That's the current rumor:

http://www.macrumors.com/2007/07/15/...z-and-beyonce/

Seems kind of a strange couple of performers for Apple to start a label with though?

Oh well, if Starbucks can start a label with Paul McCartney, I guess Apple can start one with Jay-z....

Still, I don't think Jay-z exactly fits in with the image that Apple's been developing for itself?

Yeah, I'm kinda thinking a Jay-z run record label could backfire on them.

Say what now? Jay-Z's reputation precedes him when it comes to running record labels.

The next move would be to release the album on itunes exclusively.

That would be a huge money maker for them.

Glad I bought Apple stock when I did.

I thought Apple was legally prevented from being a record label since there is already an "Apple" record label which has The Beatles. They have gone to court over it a couple times.

Side note... that Irreplaceable song (to the left, to the left) was actually written by a man. It was written by Ne-Yo for Beyonce.

Apple settled those claims and now owns the trademark 100%.
