Eminem: Great artist, awful label owner

[Drucifer]

You know, when you look at the list of projects they've released, their average sales are pretty good

Only albums that didnt go gold or better were cashis and Obie's 2nd one

[Just Silver]

eminem should sign Hailey and ghostwrite

Dr Dre said on the interview on rapradar that Slim Da Mobster was on Detox. So that means he will get some hype from there.

Cashis is dropping a mixtape soon and hopefully it will be good, give him some hype again, and make his upcomming album successesfull.

Then 50 is dropping and I know he gonna deliver this year.

Then we have the Slaughterhouse album.

Then the D12 project.

And maybe a new Bad Meats Evil album?

All this in 2011.

I think Shady Record has a bright future

this looks like a list of flops right here

no way half of these gonna drop an album ever again in Shady, let alone in 2011

Well he was just talking about rebuilding Shady. It's going to be a hell of a force again.

That's the thing that pisses me off about the label. It's one of the easiest most marketable labels out there, but it just sits and collects dust.

No because if Em signs talent and collaborates with them, you know a great number of Em fans are gonna listen. If it's a respectable artist, true Em fans will buy their shit. That's why it's so marketable and profitable.

^ Just look at Obie, who was mildly successful, AND he was dope

^ Just look at Obie, who was mildly successful, AND he was dope

Once again, when Em fell, his label fell. Obie and Stat were dropped during that phase because Em couldn't get his shit together to focus on his artist. Now that he's back and doing well, the label is profitable again.

Absolutely wrong!
Obie was dropped by Jimmy when his second album sold poorly, and Stat was dropped because he had the best producers and MC's behind him and he couldn't generate enough buzz for him to do good numbers too. They tried with 3 singles and none of them worked.
Same with Busta before his second Aftermath album, and Bishop before his first.

Why do you think his second album didn't sell as well? Probably because Em didn't have near as much involvment as what he did with his first album cuz he was going through his drug phase. Stat could never get a buzz because Em didn't work with him that much. If Em worked with them now, I gurantee he could get a buzz going for them because Em is popular again.

It's closer to pessimism...

You're wrong, Em and Dre worked with Stat for nearly 5 years. They tried in 3 different years and he just wouldn't get the right buzz. Stat fucked up on another level too, he unintentionally got Em offended with a stupid joke, about a single of theirs. He had great chances but couldn't deliver. All his fault.
Em worked on Obie's both albums to the full, he was all involved in the second one and gave him great beats and feats, it was just that Obie was the underdog because EM and 50 was killing the Billboard at the time. His alubm is definitely underrated but it was all done perfect for it from EM and Interscope in general. I was explaining here the other day, it's hard to fit artists in between mega albums Em and 50 was doing. Shady was always about fitting whover in, not expanding all the time like other labels.
See Interscope is all about sales, Em not at all, if it was for EM, Obie would stay for life, matter a fact he's still part of the Shady family, just not on the label.

On Obie's Second album Em didn't have hardly any features and that's really the only thing most Em fans care about anyway. I agree with you on Stat though. He fucked himself. I still think no matter who Em signs, he could make them big by having tons of features on their album like with Cheers. That's pretty much the whole reason that album was successful because of Em's features on it.
