The biggest sign of an artist eventually being shelved: label keeps pushing the album release date back. Whenever you see that, just know they most likely will never blow up like they should because the label doesn't believe in them as a star.

Eve was only on Aftermath for 8 months. She remained on Interscope through a distribution with Ruff Ryders. Her debut album went platinum in 1999 & she won a Grammy in 2001.

It's the 80/20 rule in business ... 20% of your customers make up 80% of your business. In Dre's case, his top 3 made up 99% so I don't blame him for putting his resources behind them and Beats.

This is crazy.  Basically, Dr. Dre is a hoarder...  He sees things that he likes, and they are very important to him in that moment, but somewhere along the line they lose their shine, but he still wants to hold on to them.  Eventually they end up in a crammed house with no room to walk around under a stack of newspapers somewhere, most likely never to be seen again. 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

Dre had more rappers sitting on shelves than a sam goody store. Eminem got his label running skills from the man himself cause Shady is another graveyard label. 😂

The Quality, Quantity, and Consistency has been insane over the past month. Enjoying this new direction 💪🏾

The crazy thing is that, his hit and miss average ain’t no different than any other label. Dre gets heat because he’s not a faceless conglomerate that’s being represented by corporate exec in suits as opposed to a small label with a well known face as it’s attraction who they can blame. Also, it’s hard to run a label as the artist/producer and label head. You really can’t.

Dr.Dre at the core is an engineer, more than a producer or rap artist. That's probably why his output is limited, he is such a perfectionist and listens with engineers ears.

I was about to say the same thing that…”At least Dr. Dre didn’t hold artists as hostages when they were ready to depart from Aftermath”…❤

Dre didn’t leave because 2pac got killed. He left because he wanted more control, he wanted to be in charge. Dre was tired of all the bs suge and 2pac was getting into and how the death row studio was a party house for the artist and gang members . He wanted more of a professional approach with his music career.

RBX was also on Eminem 2nd album Marshall Mathers LP the song was called Remember Me ft. Sticky Fingaz and Rbx

Jon Connor Automatically comes too mind

Anderson Pak has been that guy for years. I been listening to him since 2016 and he has so much versatility and range. He doesn’t get enough credit.

The Firm disrespect will not be tolerated 🤬
Eve is the perfect example, that Dre should of did joint ventures with artists he couldn't focus on because, the Dre produced tracks on her album were 🔥🔥🔥

Jon Connor was someone I was really excited to hear more from with Dre. His features on that Compton album was crazy af, so it’s sad that didn’t go anywhere.

It's crazy that Dre is so good at what he does, he can't focus on much all at once. I wish I had that kind of focus for 1 task but my brain is an asshole.

You forgot about Knocturnal.... Ahh he wasn't on aftermath but he did have tha Dr.Dre co-sign

u forgot about sam sneed that he signed on death row , he came out with 1 song and that was it

The Firm album is a classic! I still bump it til this day!

King T is my pops, thanks for shining some light in his situation. Love your channel bro!
