Shady Records not the best anymore?

[Manly Moose]

Only problem with GOOD was Mercy being BAD. With Sean being OBNOXIOUS, and the beat being TRASH.

Shady Records used to feel organic, as if he it really did just prop up good rappers to be great...

GOOD Music is the place right now.

Radioactive was a major compromise / fail (at least Yela publicly acknowledged that though) and I believe Our House is going to be by the looks of it too.

But if new artists like Pusha T are releasing new music very often how does it actually help them to get famous faster? I can only see how it helps the label be better and such, but how does it help them to become big names faster?

I somewhat think it's Eminem. I think the problem is he listens to old school rap. He has every old school rap song from the 80's and early 90's memorized. It seems when it comes to shady records all the music and rappers he pushes has to have that old school feel. As much as he loves it and wants to revive it that's not going to sell today. Budden, Crooked and Royce are great rappers, but they don't seem to know how to do mainstream songs and that's why they have failed on every album and needed signed to a label like shady which should be for new artists.

Yelawolf was their only potential but the choice of singles and poor promotion have pretty much seperated Yela from the label and I doubt we'll see him do anything else with them.

The ONLY way Shady 2.0 would pick up is a Shady 2.0 album that is loaded with Eminem tracks. Everyone else seems to know this. Young Money, GOOD, Maybach, etc. were smart enough to feature the hell out of there artists and drop compilations featuring their artists before dropping solo's. I mean how many songs are there of Eminem featuring SH or Yelawolf???? How many times has he performed with them??? How many interviews or appearances has he done with them??? Very little to none is the answer. The point of an artist signing to Shady records is to get that Eminem co-sign. Which means more than your signature. It means lots of music and appearances with Eminem. I don't think Em has grasped that. The more he puts in the beginning the better chance they will succeed on their own afterwards.

How come GOOD run the rap game? Just heard about it and did a quick research, the only big names they got are Kanye West and Kid Cudi.

"Run the rap game" is more than just big names.
They have rappers who put put good music very often. Kanye, Big Sean, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Cyhi Da Price ect are all great rappers.

Em really need to sign someone new

That's why I said when it comes to shady records artists. His own music is pretty unique. Every album is different. But all his artists on Shady records is the same with the exception of Yelawolf. He was the only one unique that has the potential to be huge mainstream. I wouldn't count him out just yet... maybe just out of Shady.

[Tomer666]

^Exactly what I meant, every Shady Records' rappers except Eminem and Yelawolf are the same.. same typical old school rappers and that's what people are NOT looking for today.

Back to my question, we were talking about rappers becoming famous way more faster if they are in YM/GOOD than in Shady Records and I don't get why, I don't see how releasing music very often helps them to get famous faster?

It would just delay Em's album if he did that. Maybe after his album he will. I could see him signing Hopsin but Hopsin likely would respectfully decline since he wants to do his own thing.

Yeah, he actually did say that two days ago when he was on some live chat, specifically about Shady Records (because somebody asked).

[Man1x]

Yelawolf is so fucking diverse. That guy is amazing, I wish he got promoted more. He could've been a hit, and so down to Earth. Honestly, he's the best thing that ever happened to Shady. Yelawolf is the shit, to bad he's on a label unable to function.
