To me its between Birdman & Slim and Hov. Coach K & P are also up there.

Hov:
State Property
Memph Bleek
Rihanna
Cole - JID
Ye - Cuddi, Trav, Big Sean
(Rick Ross - Meek, Wale) Ross was signed by Hov but not under the roc but directly to Def Jam

Birdman & Slim:
Hot Boyz
Wayne - Nicki, Tyga
Wayne - Drake - Weeknd, PND

Coach K & P:
Migos
Yachty
Lil Baby - 42, Rylo
City Girls

Hov got it tho

FYI:
The phrase "coaching tree" has also grown to refer colloquially to any idea or set of ideas originated by an individual or group.

Puff, Q-Tip and Dre gotta be in this conversation too.

Puff and Dre missing from this

Puffs one is crazy

Both Puff and Dre are actually crazy now that I think about it 🤯🤯🤯

:​

Dr Dre?

Dungeon Family needs a mention too

It’s easy to attribute everything between Roc Nation original Roc and Kanye to Hov/Roc nation but when you think about it Hov killed roc a fella so he could go be def jam president

State Property, Dipset and Hov signing new niggas to the Roc should have been the 3 headed monster in the 2000’s but Hov killed it because perception was that Dame was his “boss”

dame brings up the point that he got Dame outta there then let Roc a fella die lol

R&B goes to Jodeci hands down

Timbaland
Aaliyah
Missy Elliott
Ginuwine
Static Major
Stevie J

all came from Swing Mob under Jodeci

then from that we got
Pharrell
Chad Hugo
Clipse (Pusha T/ No Malice)
Lil Mo

And with this in mind it’s either Birdman/Slim (drake Wayne Nicki) or Coach K and P (Yachty and Lil Baby look like they bout to have decent labels)

Rza
SGP
Pierre
Dre
