smh... You think that label is relevant today?
Is Rocafella the only classic rap label that didn’t go out sad and irrelevant?

Rocafella died when they sold the remaining 50% of the company to Def Jam way back when Jay took the Def Jam president gig and Dame and Biggs split completely….from that point on “Roc-a-Fella” wasn’t shyt but a logo Def Jam slapped on the back of albums… the very latest you could pretend Rocafella was still a thing in any meaningful way was when Jay left def jam completely in 2007
If an album was certified triple platinum with big hits and a successful tour how can they be “irrelevant”?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...
Because you didn’t like it
Rocafella ended in 2013 and the last 3 albums were massively successful

No, the label ended in 2013 off the backs of 3 highest successful albums and tours
They didn’t go out sad they had some of their biggest hits ever and massively successful albums after 2005

Those were Def Jam and/or Roc Nation albums fam … none of the principal parties had been involved in “Rocafella” at all for years by that point, it wasn’t a functioning label…literally just a logo Def Jam used for marketing purposes

Dame was pretending to be “resurrect” Rocafella in 2010 when he was working with Spitta…because it literally didn’t exist in any meaningful way once Jay left def jam in ‘07

Roc-A-Fella Records - Wikipedia
The discography is right there if you want to read it
Last 3 albums massively successful. What a way to go out.
Dame dash is an idiot, his opinion means nothing lol.
We talk about the Roc on this website more than any other label in history. In any genre.
We talk about them more than 2/3s of the founders.
We talk about them at least 2x per week every week for the last 20 years.
By my math that’s 2 x 52 x 20 = 2080
That’s a full time job based on maths.

I don’t need a wiki link to read the last 3 albums they slapped a roc logo on…we literally lived the shyt in real time, it wasn’t even that long ago
There was no Rocafella Records post ‘07…no office, no staff, no artists, no executives…literally just a logo for branding purposes wholly owned by Universal/Def Jam
Yeah the last 3 albums released on Rocafella were double triple and 5 times platinum with successful toursI don’t need a wiki link to read the last 3 albums they slapped a roc logo on…we literally lived the shyt in real time, it wasn’t even that long ago
