TDE Is A Bigger Label Than Death Row, Says Problem: 'They Had A 4-Year Run'

[zayk35]

True. I still feel like Pac's music sold itself.

Kurupt just said that they put "everything" behind Pac so he could be successful when he first signed. But Pac was already Pac. He was on the dopest label at the time, he was going to succeed. But he was stepping into an environment that ultimately got him killed. Dre left because of that same vibe there. So did Snoop. So all Suge had to do was leave out that element, and make sure his artists were good, and they could've ran sh*t.

Problem is, everyone doesn't deserve power and to be in that position. Ego and insecurities f*cked Suge up. And it cost them everything.

Yeah coming off Me Against the World and fresh outta the Pen, Pac was gonna be Pac no matter what. If we were in an alternate universe I'd love to see what happens if Pac never gets shot, but still has to do the time for the case he got convicted on and still gets out in October 95. I think we get an album closer to Makaveli than AEOM.

Looking at current day hip hop, there’s way more cats that could’ve been in Odd Future instead of cats that seem more TDE. There’s more weird, young black people than ever before.

Doja Cat is a huge pop star from Cali, that came out after them and she is more Odd Future looking than TDE looking.

Everything’s a headache to an idiot

Hehehe

And a fukkin moron never provides anything of value

EXACTLY!

Glad that one resonates

People don't bother to learn any history before they make bold all-time statements.

The industry was different back then. The longest runs you were gonna get would be 3-5 years, unless you're ll cool j or somebody.

 

[EmojiFlame]

the history revisionism the past few weeks has been utterly deranged

 

[Insensitive]

You are several types of delusional if you don't see that TDE has effectively lasted longer than Death Row and produced several superstars.

Not many labels can have multiple platinum artists that aren't a major label themselves.

In the contemporary Hip-Hop/R&B landscape few can compete.

if you think about it, it boils down to personalities. cuz top and them from the same environment and got like 4 different sets representing on the label.
they just not on that goofy shyt that suge was. and we already know pac was a lil crazy too but that's my guy tho. it is what it is

They only have 2

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Dj Quik was right when he said Death Row only had impact classics, no quality classics except for Doggystyle

What impact would a bad album have?

 

[Unbothered]

Hell no. Outside of Kendrick and maybe Q their label is an afterthought for most people. Overall ain't nobody thinking about TDE as a record label.

I do think Death Row didn't maximize its talent like other Hip-Hop labels at the time. Yeah, they were making millions but that one album a year cycle wasn't a good blueprint in terms of showcasing talent.

So many great albums could've been released during '92-'96 from artists like Jewel, Michel'le, Rage, Danny Boy, and a few others. As successful as Death Row was there are still a lot of “what ifs” regarding the label.

TDE has lasted longer but the impact isn’t the same .

Throughout history there are many labels that did what TDE did and more..TDE should be compared more to Rap-A-Lot not Death Row ,
