Every major name in hip hop, Lyor Cohen has had something to do with them. This spans several labels, primarily Def Jam and Atlantic Records. The careers of Jay-Z, DMX, Ja Rule, Ludacris, and T.I. are only a few he helped to influence.
Lyor Cohen is also considered, by some, to be a “culture vulture.” This is a term that Dame Dash has used to describe him, over the past few years. But, Lyor Cohen is the person who has helped hip hop turn corporate, and helped build a fortune for Jay-Z, and others.
Recently, Lyor Cohen stopped by “The Breakfast Club,” where he spoke to DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. In the interview, Lyor Cohen spoke on Migos’ issues with his 300 label. The conversation continued by him speaking on his legacy, Kanye West, and more.
