Not much has happened on Aftermath in last few years really. 50 Cent released the album Curtis which was not that good in 2007. His album last year Before I Self Destruct I have not listen to so I dont know if its any good? But I think both labels need more artists on them.
With Detox and Red coming out next year Aftermath should do well. Detox should do well I think but have people given up on the album? With Game album Red it had set backs this year and a lot of tracks have leaked.
But current artists on Aftermath are - Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Game, Hayes, Slim Da Mobster ad Cashis. I never heard of Hayes or Slim Da Mobster but Cashis sucks and needs to be dropped. The amount of artists who have been on Aftermath and not released an album on it quite a few. Likes of Joell Ortiz, Rakim, Raekwon, Bishop Lamont and others. Even Busta Rhymes only had one album on Aftermath. They need to sign more artists anyone agree?
I don't think the key is signing MORE artists but actually releasing shit and promoting the artists already on the album.
