@Nippy the thread closed so I will respond here.
I agree, Def Jam isn't the best label choice but when Rih needed to get stuff done, they got it done. I don't know how drastic her team changed after moving to Roc Nation but clearly they're not competent enough to manage someone like Rihanna. Def Jam got her to release an album each year for four years straight, so I can understand there being some lag time in between eras so rushed but still...they weren't bad compared to what she's going through now. 3 years of time and they can't even get a tour and album release right.
