That s*** sold well for a label album and spawned like 3 good hits

The president of nothing has been announced

she'll be proven wrong when this countdown is over

Bruh it’s been dying for a while, since the good music complex cover..

Now it’s dead, no YZY Sound.. it’s no group, no label - just some folks that have ties with Ye and he sometimes gives back in exchange for what they do for him.

Yeah they did CuDi, Dessigner, Big Sean, now that I'm thinking about it. Almost every artist they had they did wrong in some way lol. When his focus shifted away from music it really crippled the label as a whole as well.

The Good Friday era was probably my favorite musical era of all time. Getting these crazy ass collabs every Friday leading up to Kanye dropping MBDTF. CuDi dropped MOTM2 around then too. Ahhh the good ol' days

Yea and he didn't really do much with them

Like yea Cruel Summer had hits, but he put 2Chainz on the album more than some of the actual members of GOOD

Ye had all types of diverse talent back then but he under utilized them like crazy. Which is why Cruel Summer didn't meet expectations creatively

Yea in the early 2010s Ye did a really great job building up a lineup of dope artists

But he kinda just lost interest in utilizing them.
And he could've had a big GOOD Music 2.0 with Cruel Winter, but he just gave up on it

Yes that is true hahah that’s how sub labels usually work. Just a cool thing all big artists like to do, pretend like they have a label but it’s just a marketing tactic for the real label. And give their big artists the veil of some sort of business control

I think if you rephrase that to Ye lost interest in using those artists..
it makes a lot more sense.

It started off with people he worked with, his writers and his “artists” but then it just expanded to who he can use the most.

If it wasn’t advantageous to boosting Ye up, he didn’t give a f***.. Fans and the artists on that label wanted to do Cruel Winter but nah he was like f that - what’s that gonna do for me..

Once Common and John left, that shot was done.

I was always upset we never got anything substantial from when they had Q-tip

And if you needed any more evidence, just look at how he’s done kid Cudi and big Sean over the years and in recent interviews

Nah Kanye has always had Cudi back even after Cudi talk s*** about him. Cudi talk s*** bout him and had a mental breakdown but Kanye supported him and made an album with him and even fixed his relationship with Drake. he's not the snake in that relationship.

interesting annunciation, I deadass didn’t know u spoke with an accent

U from Swahili??

Dani

duh lol. been like this for damn near a decade

feel like it always been like that.

Lowkey an invention by ye and def jam to sign the artists he kind of likes and it pops up whenever "rappers doing labels" seems cool. Its more of a brand than a company

its so rappers feel better about being exploited by the real label, they get to roleplay as executives

It's commonly called a vanity label and it's not something Kanye invented lol

Or above post even rappers

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_label

Idk how y'all don't know this with all due respect

no reason to be condescending

Im sorry that was unnecessary

Prolly the Stan in me, Its just something that always annoyed me when I see people talk bout it and blame Kanye for ruining careers when he put em on huge songs gave em feats produce their whole albums in certain cases. and it's kinda up to them and Def Jam to take it from there . Just need to look at how Push handles his career

Good Friday’s is my favorite music era as well

If you could do it better than me, than you do it
