You using Kanye as the ultimate comparison for rapper labels was not a good idea. Kanye is a narcissist and he’s bipolar so I would assume the other rapper labels are more well managed than what Kanye was doing lol.
People signed to Kanye said bro was all over the place. They would just wake up and he would have a new number and they had no way to even contact him. He would disappear on them for months and all kind of shit bro. 😂
Don't worry I know better. The amount of people that told me I'm taking you with me to cheapen the cost of production only to still be here is astounding. People love to sell you a dream but never follow through.
The big labels make artists who don’t want to sign do their dirty work. They send these rappers out there to recruit and the artist who didn’t want to sign to that major still ends up being signed to that major by way of signing to that “label” that the artist owns. Fun fact: none of these artists actually own a record label.
Yo Gotti might be the current only one that works because he’s in a more executive role than a success role. They only work when the artists signed success is not dependent on the the artists they signed to co-signing them or giving them a feature
Kendrick Lamar is a real man. You can just see by the way he carries himself. The way he has kept same relationships.. the friendships that might have fallen off that you won’t see people online clout chasing on him.. the way he stayed loyal to the mother of his children despite the flaws he admitted to.. the way everyone else gives him back that same energy of RESPECT !! People need to give him his flowers now.. that man is good! He’s a good man.
Kendrick Lamar got the best out of his co-sign with Dr Dre, a GOAT 🐐 producer who is retiring. Even as a fan, I don’t think he can get to where he is now without Dr Dre’s support & network
Saying that "Family matters" is beautiful from start to finish is crazy, there's like 5 full blown lies in that song, only a minute into the song and there's already a lie
The problem with you saying that drake would’ve done better if Family matters came out after NLU is that’s just an impossibility. If you payed attention, the last verse of NLU couldn’t exist without Family Matters dropping. Part of NLU was created in as a direct response to family matters. He quite literally says in the latter part of the song, “the family matters and the truth of the matter it was Gods plan to show y’all the liar.”
If you're signed to another rapper (larger than you), you're rarely not destined to be under their shadow. You're in a position where you could be perceived as the hype man and under their control and momentum because you gave them the keys to your own car. You don't need it in 2024, I'd steer away from signing to a rapper-owned label.
Opium haters mad in the comments 😭 Can't accept that opium is the most influential hip hop label rn. Carti is influential in the mainstream, ken is coming up. Destroy Lonely and Homixide Gvng are the rulers of the underground. Allegations have nothing to do with music btw , I'm literally only talking about music
