True Story Rocafella Records still is on top

[infamous199]

Seriously speaking Kanye West is the biggest artist in the game right now. He sells alot of records, goes on worldwide tours, and is actually putting out realmusic. I know 808 got some backlash but it was still artistic and his features when hes rapping still be on point. Jay-z is the ultimate artist i mean dude hasbeen in the game for years and everytime he still maintains his relevancy ala D.O.A.

Jay-Z - Better rapper than anybody in the game
Kanye West - 2nd best rapper in the game

Do you agree? or do you think im being a stan? lol

 

[we get live]

2 artists don't compensate for an entire label, no matter how great said artists are.

 

[jomitm]

nah man.

'Ye my dude and no matter how many times he raises that diamond up, you know it don't mean as much as when the OG Roc does it.

look at this picture and tell me they still on top:

in that pic, only Jay and Beans are the only ones who are actually still signed to the Roc ( aside from Chris who's in RocNation )

[dapper d]

dude names 2 artist....

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Ye is close to becoming the BIGGEST artist in the world.. but first he has to pass Lil Wayne for being the Biggest artist in AMERICA. Rocafella as a LABEL arenot dominating anything... Akon label is the BEST RIGHT NOW/ Hands DOWN!!

 

[miketysonthekiller]

Out of the blue question, can a rock band sign with def jam? lolololol.

 

[hiphopdoc09]

Akons Label? Really?............................

if a labels feels they can market u and make money they will sign u no matter what genre...

Sounds reasonable. Man i need to start learning more about marketing to market myself if I want to get into the music business. Another question,has def jam signed a rock band?

 

[D StaXX]

Son said Akon's label

 

[keithdajuiceman]

[thegr8blkhope]

...and Kardinal went brick.
...so did Colby O'Donis. ( his sales grew though )
...and Kat DeLuna.
signed Red Cafe...he ain't gonna sell either.

it is pretty good though that 3 artists went Gold on one sub-label.

but aside from that, people haven't heard the rest of the 15 or so artists in that label.

it's not bad...but the best label? c'mon man...
