For real like who the fukk is checking for Zacari and RayVaughn

Hammer was the biggest artist in the world at one point and was on Death Row. Kendrick at his apex wasn’t bigger than Hammer.

Who on TDE is bigger than, equal or even close to Pac, Dre, Snoop, Daz/Kurupt, Rage, Nate (who blew up after he left DR) — or even Suge, who was on magazine covers.

The base criteria has to be Ruthless since DR is on another level and TDE doesn’t even have anyone remotely close to the DOC

Shǐt, there’s never going to be a TDE version of this

Prime Hammer was not on Death Row. I agree that TDE isn't bigger than Death Row. There's several artists on TDE bigger than Rage. A few on par with Daz/Kurupt. And none that are really what Pac, Dre, and Snoop were.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
That was Johnny Cochran not Suge and according to Snoop, Suge was not the one paying for his legal fees. C-Murder's feelings toward P have nothing to do with business. C-Murder would also tell you P put his whole family in position to eat.
Bro. The jury was at the Death Row party after. Everyone who was on Death Row knows Suge pulled them strings brodie. Lol. Snoop just an ungrateful b*stard. Lol.

Who on TDE is even at Daz/Kurupt level (both who I kinda consider underachievers)?

The fact that TDE is even being compared to Death Row is laughable but for fun we can dissect this whole thing. As I said in another post, TDE isn’t even Ruthless level when it comes to impact, legacy and presence in the music/genre landscape.

The shǐt that went down at Ruthless made the industry shift and in those days NWA didn’t even have access to the kind of promo machine that TDE theoretically has at its disposal — even tho it’s largely reserved for Kendrick.

But I can think of at least 5 other labels (and I don’t mean Bad Boy) that have been far more impactful. When you look at TDE you don’t anticipate ANYTHING they have coming down the pipeline because Kendrick isn’t an album every 2 years artist, SZA finally has a little run and everyone else is just everyone else.

Look at No Limit, they had insane hype around their release schedule and getting their albums was almost like getting a comic book. You knew something was coming the following week because the damn booklet said so — and it was true

Most empire reigns are short-lived, but it doesn't negate their everlasting impact:lupe::ehh:

Death Row is still talked about now. TDE will be lucky if they get mentioned 10 years from now.

If Kendrick weren't in TDE this woudnt even be a discussion. He thinks longevity = more impact. Deathrow had fukking superstars. TDE just has one, streaming era is partially credited due to Kendricks ascension.
it hasn't been a discussion for 3 months until you decide to dig it up from its grave :stopitslime:
