If you had a record label and could sign 5 rappers

[Tom]

I'd have two different list......depending on what my ultimate goal would be.


The first list would consist of people who I think who would bring me lots of income and sell lots of records.

Jay Z
Lil Wayne
Drake
Eminem
I can't even really think of a fifth because there aren't even alot of cats selling consistently these days....TI I guess?

the other would consist solely of artist who I feel would produce the best quality material/albums with disregard of how much/or how little I make back financially.

Nas
Common
Joe Budden
Black Thought
Ensilence
....For the heck of it I'm adding Rick Ross (I'm gonna get flack for this but I like his music, he's dope)


If my goal is to make money I'm going with the first list, if my goal is to make great music I'd go with the second

 

[Dopematic]

Jon Connor
Kendrick Lamar
Termanology
J.Cole

First rule I want professional nikkas.
If you wanna be a minor liability you got to push numbers ie Eminem.

Nas
Lupe Fiasco
Kanye West
Killer Mike
Common

3 liabilities on 1 label , hint the rest are good music.
These nikkas would start dissing you if their shyt is wack, pushed back or flopped. Start demonstrations, strikes, petitions and on

[JasonSJackson]

Nas
The Roots
Peedi Crack
Ghostface
Cheif Keef

[ATGkeith]

Nas
Lupe
Curren$y
Stalley
Wale

 

[thaKEAF]

Big K.R.I.T
Kendrick Lamar

We wouldn't make as much money as some other labels but we'd have a cult following and the tours/material would be crazy.
