Shyne
G-dep
Black Rob
Craig Mack

:snoop:
Some folks just don’t understand we’re talking LABELS

Roc started in 94 Ye ain’t pop off until 04 and his last album there was 2013

Bad Boy was founded in 93,

I wasn’t of age but functions in 90’s and early 2000’s Weren't playing rocafella records. Back then you were able to get a 2 hour mix of Bad Boy records.

Rocafella made more music i liked. Surprised by the poll results. Jayz, Camron, Dipset, Beanie Sigel, Kanye. that’s a roster any label would covet.

besides big, whose bad boy-published music am i still banging? 🤔

lox? (i fukk with what the lox became AFTER they left bad boy. should i thank bad boy for giving them the exposure that let them center out the career they have?)

mase? craig mack? black rob? g dep? loon? i mean, they’re cool, some of them with bangers that still get burn at the occasional wedding reception. but….

the r&b doesn’t count, imo. this should be based off rap.

Freeway on the Burnin Up Remix :whew:

Beans on the Dance Wit Me Remix :ohlawd:

Jigga on Young G's :whoo:

Bad Boy & Roc made some classic tracks together

Don't forget we don't get the American Gangster album without Puff lacing Jigga...and to think those beats were meant for BIG :wow:

which label output more timeless music?

rocafella.

jay z
freeway
memphis bleek (his debut, at least)
beanie sigel
camron
dipset

all of this still bangs and aged far better than anything on bad boy that isn’t the work of biggie or gdep’s child of the ghetto.
