Rappers With Failed Labels.. 

The fact drakes part is so long says a lot

If drake ain’t steal the weeknd songs early off The Weeknd woulda signed with him he knew drake was using him from the jump

Lmao Drake stating that he likes to write his own stuff is so ironic 🙂

The Weeknd would have literally ended up in the same place as Party if he signed with OVO

I feel so bad for Makonen, the stuff he did with Father and the whole crew down there should have where he stayed, not screwed over by Drake.

You forgot about the OVO artist PLAZA would was signed in 2017 and shelved til 2021 until he was dropped

That boy shek Wes got deported by his mom lol his family didn’t like him in the modeling and music industry, so they tricked him into a trip to Africa and took his passport away from him and made him stay a year in Africa. His hype died and he jus ended up playing basketball overseas

K Suave’s Sexually Active is regarded by a lot of underground rap fans as one of the best rage albums of the era and Suave himself is regarded as one of the most consistent rappers in the space. Just bc he doesn’t do mainstream numbers doesn’t mean he’s failing fr

If it wasn’t for The Weeknd drake wouldn’t be how big he is today and vice verse, shot for me, crew love, trust issues/im on one, the ride all The Weeknd songs

Might have been a good idea to mention the success of "Lemonade" regarding Don Toliver

i think suave also had problems with the you & me song with trippie, pretty sure he dropped it during trippie and pierres beef and he produced it, dont think its on streaming anymore

Should’ve put Souljaboy in there his label is the worst 😂

I wouldn’t really call cactus Jack a label id call it a brand frfr

Artist labels are the perfect labels to sign to if you want A dead career 💯

I'd say that Popcaan is successful. He's a big deal in Jamaica and in Danchall overall. He's not a hip hop or R&B artiste

Dvsn really struggles with marketing from drake, they deserve to be the most famous rnb stars!

never knew teezo almost signed to 1400, W vid

8:30 holy shit that album only sold 5k units???? Thats an essential album for 2016, literally no skips at all on the album. Its a whole experience. Havent listened to much of their newer stuff but that album I thought sold atleast 50k

Kanye’s good music label should also be mentioned with failed labels. The label isn’t even a thing anymore at least OVO still has PND 😂

I'm loving this deep dive! Although only part-way thro the vid so not sure if you touch base on what a train wreck Gucci's 1017 label was/is...

Hit Me When You Land has No Love ( Feat. Trippie)

Yachtys label is looking promising

It’s clear Drake doesn’t know wtf he’s doing when it comes to having a label & managing one.. everyone he singed seems as if it was somehow for his personal use/gain..

ovo straight up evil

“Teezo is a huge artist”… sold 5k first week

What I don’t understand about this, mainly with Drake is that why try to overshadow your people like that? Especially coming from Lil Wayne label where he literally had free range. Wayne ain’t never tried to dim that mans light. I would think that would mean more money in his pockets if he actually put effort into helping people on his label smh

it’s important to realise that even if their music careers don’t blow up these artists are still making tons of money through record work. Like sheck wes feels instrumental to anything Travis makes, pnd writing hits etc

30:45 trippie is on this album on 'No Love'

This made me want to listen to Tuesday featuring Drake.

Sheck wes is about to be on the upcoming Lyrical lemonade Album

I am not really into rap anymore but the whole numbers obsession is just sad. Rap these days has nothing to do with sound just numbers and hype.

I feel Travis himself has stabilized cactus jack with that AP watch he was able to drop with them

Makonnen is hardly a one hit wonder, you just might not listen to his other music. He's a talented artist and an even better human

Makonnen has so much good music . I saw him live and his energy is different , he went crazy for an hour and half . Super talented it’s a shame that’s by the time he got out his label he was already on a different wave. First to sing on a trap beat

You forgot about moe g who was singed to ovo

I feel like you really discredited how well PND has done for himself despite being signed to OVO. He’s been able to carve out a strong fan base and a large catalogue of songs that have stood the test of time.

Ngl Quality wise OVO has really good artists (majid Jordan and Naomi Sharon both had rnb albums with traction last year)

roy woods underrated fr

Don had music out before he signed. Also he literally dropped a project the day before Astroworld

sheck wes also had allegations during his peak

you forgot to mention dvsn, signed to ovo in 2016

Zelly recently released wit trippie and its 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cactus jack was more like a brand in my opinion, great video tho ❤😊

Dawg, sorry but the way you said Boi-1da took me out!! 🤣

i love Mo Mamba

I feel like fans have come to the conclusion that if you’re not an mainstream act you’ve failed and thats just not true. And then that leads to people saying ovo is a failed label. If Roy Woods, Majid Jordan, Popcaan, Dvsn, and now Namoi Sharon can all put out albums and be able to tour around the WORLD they have not failed them. And Pnd was top 5 greatest r&b artist of the 2010s after his first project so him and ovo was playing with house money after that honestly.

“Mo mamba”😂😂

Rip Chris King👑🖤

I personally see potential in the 1400/800 label like they have good songs and awesome distinct sounds to them all but the have horrible promotion and are inconsistent to actually make any moves on the scene especially 2020-2022 just seemed like a horrible time for music in general so I feel it's just a mess that can get straightened out to help its artist grow fs and trip needs to get on track to def see Ksuave and Chris King being the more prominent people to make it

TLDR drake ruins people’s careers and steals their shit

My favorite Magic player of all time Mo Mamba

Trippie redd doing a music label had me laughing 😂

Trippie could’ve signed to opium 😢

We need vid on ysl too

Travis need to sign me !!

Ugh PND and Roy Woods would be so big if they just didnt sign w ovo.. theyre great. And nahhhhh no way Drake signed Smiley😭😭😭😭

Do one on MMG!

Im signing to Young Money...as soon as im discovered ❤

I doubt drake is the one in charge of putting in any work for ovo

Travis never executive produced any project for smokepurpp. He gave him a feature, a chain, and brought him out in concert than cut ties.

But we gotta remember during 2020 - 2022 COVID-19 was going on, which meant they couldn't tour and so much more, I got like 10 new subs on my RU-vid and I got happy.

I hope this doesn't happen to opium, they look like they are really trying

Half the video about OvO 😂

Aight how u gonna put an add on top of an add then after im done watching the add that jus interupted the first add i have to watch the first add 20:34 @youtube

You forgot former OVO artist Plaza

Didn’t even mention Plaza getting signed to OVO 😭

drake is a soul harvester

Honestly I don’t feel like cactus jack failed. It’s doing so well and is definitely one of the most popular ones out there

K suave hard he should be on his own

makes sense as to why this only as 80k come with facts next time

Damn TM tall as shit

Bro dvsn are so good that’s so disappointing

Make a video on Trippie redd

sprinkle…..money manziel¿

I work as a PREP COOK and I make Rap Music 🎶

OVO’s greatest signing to date is DVSN. Like most of their acts they get little support and haven’t featured on a Drake album since views. Man just be wasting talent in the sweat shop.

Thank goodness The Weeknd refused to sign with OVO.

Popcaan bigger than Partynextdoor

yea it’s kinda no reason pnd isn’t big weekend

Everyone wants to be diddy but no one wants to be gay

MAJID JORDAN SO SLEPT ON

HAHAHAHAHAHA NO MAMBA ITS MO BAMBA MATWB

BRO KSUAVE STILL HAD TRIPPIE FEATURES 30:45-30:50 LOOK AT YO SCREENSHOTS

Good video but next video just improve and leave this one up to have more quality content your viewers can come back to

Smokepurp never signed to cactus dog

i find it wild how nobody is mentioning pierre bourne😭

OVO is the polar opposite of Young Money

Amir obe should've signed with OVO

daddy crack still the best

drake was on thursday fam

Sheck Wes fell off because of all the memes about his fans being nothing but 12 year old white boys. Twitter at the time basically framed him as being corny because of that. Personally, I don’t think he deserved all that hate

Ok I like the video, love the idea fr. But I hate how you keep jumping from one person to the other, to the other, then back to the first one. Just stay on one and go to the next, then the next. It really started when you brought up Cactus Jack. Just my opinion. But Love what youre doing.

Popcaan is huge tho

None of those artist are singed to 1400…

OVO didnt fail. Its just a label full of people working for drake. You know drake spends zero time in the studio

Realistically drake sign 2 artists * u mean cuz u missed out popcaan

Who else is rewatching these after the "Sell They Soul" industry gay stuff.

Bro OVO ain’t dead

its mo bamba not mo mamba

How is OVO a failed Label??
