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?

Oh dear.. this 'trying to appeal to popular culturalists' has gone too far for Apple now...

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%.
