    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%.
