Is Rocafella the only classic rap label that didn’t go out sad and irrelevant?

[Street Knowledge]

Magna Carter Holy Grail is for sure going out sad.

A triple platinum album with a successful tour and hit records?

Dame left the roc in 2004, they were popping until the end in 2013

I'm referring to all the animosity that Dame has for Jay. At least to me, it has somewhat sullied the Rocafella legacy.

Dame being bitter doesn’t mean anything to the end of Rocafella(2013) which was a massive success anyway you slice it

Nah, sales wise, it's still Bad Boy. Their last platinum plaque was 2020, whether we like it or not.

Rocafella got the numbers, but not the diversity. They got carried by two superstar artists dropping multiplat every year seems like.

But the last bad boy flopped

Oh ok. whats your opinion on Shady Aftermath. Eminem is probably the highest selling of all time. Every album he has ever put out goes #1 off rip damn near.


They still going. They "popping" ?

Shady records and aftermath is still going. Rocafella isn’t and at the end Rocafella was still popping.

1/3 of Rocafella, if this ain’t going out sad. I don’t know what is.

The last album in the history of Rocafella is certified triple platinum with a successful tour and hit singles

ROC went out sad after 2005…


Young Gunz second album was basura

Bleek’s album was ok

Freeway’s second album was decent but it should’ve had better beats. The Bink produced cuts saved the album


It was good while it lasted

All Dame had to do was play his position..


I wouldn’t have been cursing at the guys in the label meetings that could stop everything at a button.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

nikka what???? Rocafella Records went out sad and pathetic

Not really. When you think about it Gay stock is at an all time high

 

[88m3]

shyt ended sad as fukk and irrelevant


horrible thread



can any label really end/be broken up/sold "well"? I can't think of a way...

Dude is trying to make an argument about Def Jam/Universal using a legacy imprint mostly for paperwork reasons. Rocafella was dead by this point. They didn't really have any people working for them. No offices or anything like that.
