Can Shady Records have a bigger decade than the previous?

[Drucifer]

Dont under-estimate Yelawolfs commercial potential, I live in the south, dudes name has been buzzin already for a year, with Em's fanbase paying attention and the south being the most dominant market to begin with, I can see him breaking out huge.......

"Him being Signed to shady Brought me here.. Thumbs up if it did the same!!!"

^ Seeing a lot of those comments and all talk about Shady Records on Yelawolf vids on YouTube.

2.3 million views at the time of writing. I wonder how much it will be in a few weeks time!

LOL, exactly my point............

As far as sales go...no. Eminem, alone, was enough to make the last decade extremely successful. Plus, nowadays even the big rappers are struggling to hit that "1 mill" mark, Em has been the first rapper in a very long time to do numbers like he's doing with Recovery

Attach Em's name to Slaughterhouse or Yelawolf, however...might equal success. Yelawolf already has tons of buzz, if he can produce some great music with Em's guidance, he could really sell a good amount. Slaughterhouse, every member is very talented, but together...their concepts fall short a lot. But, once again, with Em on the project, they might produce more great music

I really think this is the moment where Em needs to go back to producing and hopping on his roster's tracks. I mean, imagine Em and Yelawolf over one of Em's beats, I'm almost sure that would be class. The same with Slaughterhouse (Em needs to sign them individually, too, especially Royce). We haven't even really heard Em over one of his own beats in a while (as in, his recent music). The only one I can think of is Elevator, and Em was spitting great over that beat because it was his own. He didn't have to compromise anything to try to fit the beat. Em producing could make even Em's solo music better

I actually agree with that about Em's beats, but truthfully when he was rhyming over his own beats that was the biggest complaint I read online

"All that money and his cheap ass gonna rap on his own whack beats??...........He need to go get people to give him better beats"

I always liked the way he sounded over his own shit, but it was non-stop bitching about it....... Of course with Em there will always be people bitching about something anyway I guess

FYI, "Elevator" wasnt the last self produced track, I'm pretty sure "Difficult" was self produced

Yeah, I thought about the Difficult thing, so that's why I had added "his recent music". I wasn't counting Difficult, since it was made in like 06 lol

Seriously? Those people gotta dig their ears

Can't comment for Yela, still tryna get a opinion of him 1st but Slaughterhouse should be able to carry their own name. Judging from their album, they do have a few good songs which might do well, mainly because its an alternative to the norm which may be what some people are looking for

Shady will continue to grow long after we are all dead.

Cashis didn't flop

It was just a EP to get some hype

Props to Em on the beats too.

Ehm, I thought eminems albums werent released under shady? As he isnt signed to shady as an artist. But under afthermath/Interscope. In that xxl link it was stated though that up to now shady records sold 40m albums ww

[the real slim shady]

i hope im wrong but i dont know how people can compete with em and 50's older stuff. Anyway, whatever happens em will always be the best.

[sully10x]

Yelawolf has no mass appeal outside the south in my opinion.

[Norway kills]

The fact that my girlfriend knows who Yelawolf is tells me he might be successful commercially.

The fact that you and your girlfriend are the only ones who know who Yelawolf is tells me he might not be successful commerically.

Look on the back of every Eminem album, from The Eminem Show onward, and you'll see Shady Records on the back. He is signed as an artist on his own label....
