literally ask anyone on the street who Obie trice is, bet they ain't know
I feel like you’re taking longevity as the only measurement with this lol
Not the same money that the major labels have. These "labels" that rappers have are really imprints. They dont have the power to market and distribute themselves like a Atlantic or Warner Bros who are owned by billion dollar companies.
u should read about the music industry man ur sounding mad stupid, that's categorically false
my definition for label success is the ratio of signed acts to successful acts is high. G Unit had damn year 20 acts. only 5 of them were even incrementally successful (achieving gold status, cultural relevance etc.)
fam I just read your OP again and the standard that you hold is Dreamville and whatever the hell Lil Bibby's label is.
people have named you labels that delivered timeless, classic records for the genre. i just don't see where you're tryna take us with this.
Bibby's "label" had one artist, Juice World.
J. Cole's label doesnt even have 1 Gold selling artist attached to it
But those are the ones you say "popped".

Lil Bibby has juicewrld and Kid Laroi (not saying he's a smash), but thats TWO artists out of two delivering platinum plaques on a yearly basis

JID and Ari both gold
Wait, Dreamville working but G unit and Rocafella didn’t? Op if you explained that already itt let me know but what is your reasoning. I should’ve read op before commenting in this troll thread.
I don’t get this “worked” thing here
These guys aren’t starting labels so they can be the biggest, they start it most cases to leave a mark and give people they believe in opportunities even if it’s just a small bump. They’re all indie labels and at best signed through a major but even with that they’re never generating that much money outside of major anomalies
These guys just wanna own a business and be a boss it’s pretty simple of course Sean doesn’t think he’s changing the landscape with his s***
Who the f*** is Kid Laroi?
a white boy from Australia that bibby signed before juice died.
Juice helped mentor him and s***, he sounds like a mix of Juice and post.
He's pretty dope ngl, he could be super big in a couple years
Rapper labels work.
Just depends on whether the rapper is a hustler and whether the artists is worth investing in.
MMG worked.
So did G-Unit.
And Roc-A-Fella.
Good definitely worked for a solid 10-15 years

lmao yeah i reread it and came to the conclusion this is bait. kid probably 17 and wanted to big up Bibby's label, could've just made a thread
wait people saying GOOD and Rocafella didn't work?

How come no one in the first page corrected OP when he said Gucci's label didn't work

I think worked as in they actually had star artists and successful releases...
It’s not that hard to understand stop tryna be difficult

It didnt.
Wop never signed his Kanye West.
S***, he never signed his Memphis Bleek.
Everyone who got hot with Gucci signed somewhere else.
Hes still one of the best A&R's of all time tho.
