Def Jam Recordings - Wikipedia
By 1992, despite recent multi-platinum selling releases from
Public Enemy, and
EPMD, Def Jam ran into severe financial troubles and was faced with folding. However, in 1994,
PolyGram purchased Sony's 50% stake in Def Jam Recordings — subsequently bringing the label into its fold. Following PolyGram's purchase, Def Jam distributed the
Violator Records-signed artist
Warren G's
Regulate... G Funk Era album, which went triple platinum and brought much-needed revenue to Def Jam through its distribution deal with Violator.

2.Cause you said so?
He did fine without him.
3.fukk your opinion let's deal with facts. Who did better,them or swizz?
Swizz made more notable shyt than them combined.
nikka Warren G first album dropped in 94. This is 4 years later. Def Jam was in a bad state at that time as well. Anybody who worked in the Def Jam buildings at the time will tell u X saved Def Jam. And Jay Z came behind him. And who said Ruff Ryder's Anthem wasn't loved by all or Iconic? Did I EVER say he didn't need Swizz? I said he shouldn't have gotten RID OF Dame Grease. If he kept ALL of his original producers he would have a better musical discography imo. He lost something that he had with the other producers when he started relying damn near solely on Swizz.
