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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

never knew teezo almost signed to 1400, W vid

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!

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

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 😂

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..

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.

Yachtys label is looking promising

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...

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

ovo straight up evil

This made me want to listen to Tuesday featuring Drake.

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

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

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'

roy woods underrated fr

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.

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

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

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

TLDR drake ruins people’s careers and steals their shit

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

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

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

Rip Chris King👑🖤

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

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

Trippie redd doing a music label had me laughing 😂

Travis need to sign me !!

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.

My favorite Magic player of all time Mo Mamba

sheck wes also had allegations during his peak

i love Mo Mamba

Trippie could’ve signed to opium 😢

Zelly recently released wit trippie and its 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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

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

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😭😭😭😭

you forgot to mention dvsn, signed to ovo in 2016

Ain't no way cactus Jack on the cover

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

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

We need vid on ysl too

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

“Mo mamba”😂😂

You forgot former OVO artist Plaza

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.

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

Do one on MMG!

Honestly most rap artists labels are normally vanity labels primarily for their shit

Half the video about OvO 😂

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

Didn’t even mention Plaza getting signed to OVO 😭

drake is a soul harvester

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

Make a video on Trippie redd

Bro dvsn are so good that’s so disappointing

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.

OVO is the polar opposite of Young Money

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

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

i find it wild how nobody is mentioning pierre bourne😭

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

K suave hard he should be on his own

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

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

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

MAJID JORDAN SO SLEPT ON

Amir obe should've signed with OVO

Popcaan bigger than Partynextdoor

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

Damn TM tall as shit

HAHAHAHAHAHA NO MAMBA ITS MO BAMBA MATWB

drake was on thursday fam

None of those artist are singed to 1400…

Smokepurp never signed to cactus dog

daddy crack still the best

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.

Hate it’s not even bout the music nomore it’s the money and numbers .. 🤦🏾‍♂️

sprinkle…..money manziel¿

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

Popcaan is huge tho

Bro had like two clips of each rapper and just looped them😂this is hardly a video it’s more of an audio book
