We talking albums, singles, or just the whole run period?

Whole run would be best because you can compare from end to end, irrespective of the length of their reign. Its what they did with their time in the spotlight that defines the selection and left their imprint in the game.

You've forgotten Loud Records for:

Corrected. Forgot Def Jam as well.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

1 Psychopathic records

2 Reel Life Productions

3 Majik Ninja Entertainment

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Death Row if we’re being real

The Chronic
Doggystyle
Above the Rim
Murder Was the Case
Dogg Food
All Eyez on Me
Don Killuminati

I really dug the hip hop soundtrack era:

So many jams and DR did it the best as those discs span from end to end with classics.

Def jam was around forever....or do you just mean like in the 80s?

Whatever you want. I didn't include them at first because of their stature and the fact they laid the blueprint. Plus they were the connect and distro for many imprints so its all on them in one respect.

No need to worry about semantics, its all about the bobo thats kicked because nobody in this thread has truly checked music from new artists anyway...

[Whips-n-Chains]

The answer is LOUD, however...Loud isn't really the same as Death Row, b/c DR was a label & a clique too...nikkas weren't rocking loud records chains

 

[EastsideRio]

No Limit dropped the most but idk if they are classics.

I gotta go with Def Jam, Loud, Rap-A-Lot, or Rocafella
