The dude running the gossip site reporting this bit of gossip is a real bottom feeder–like WAY worse than Perez–but he seems to have some connections and does get some things right…so…

Media Take Out is reporting that newly ousted X Factor contestant, Astro was signed to Jay-Z’s company, Roc-Nation immediately after he was eliminated from the show last night.

Jay-Z, thirteen time grammy award winner, former CEO of Def Jam Recordings and founder of Roc-Nation said, ” I first heard about this exciting new talent and decide to watch some of his performances. Jay-Z goes on to say, “Not only was I impressed with his performances, but to see the confidence he sang with, his lyrics and diction were on point.”

Reportedly, Jay-Z and co are working to get Astro onto Willow Smith’s new track.  Grain of salt, and all that.

Its caused a major lapse on and hold on original unheard talent. 

    Instead of singers of rappers striving for a possible call and record deal they prepare for shows full of pretentious levels beyond the norm of life it self. Ironically, this has been helping to destroy the soul within the music making everyone a A&R and judge so when music and songs are put out now a days its below sub-par level of equality. The factors behind the understand of ‘Supply & Demand’ has just gone out the window because there is way too much supply now a days and no demand for it so the saturation of a industry has begun and currently in its mists of being a destroyed art form from massive payola, arbitrated situation of artist placement and basically noise not music on the airwaves.
