Why didn't Funk Flex and DJ Clue continue with the albums like Khaled??

[wizworld]

Chill. NYC DJs have abused their connects enough. They all got record deals and label imprints and very few hits came from it.

Clue had Eminem, Royce and Method Man on a song that I cannot remember. Did he even have to pay for those verses?

Khaled is at least trying to make big records that can benefit the feature artists.

The world may never know

That shyt was dope imo especially the Lox track

It was I'm just dying at when he would say that all the time

Both Clue and Flex got Em when he was on the come up… as big as Khaled is, even he hasn’t been able to secure an Em verse for himself. He got lucky on this new album cuz the Em verse is from a Kanye track from 2 years ago that Ye let Khaled have

But in this day and age, most artists would be a fool not to do the verse if Khaled requests one

Impressive how you were able to make Eminem the focus in a thread about 3 completely different people

Part of the reason NY hip hop died..great ideas and formula's that are discarded.

I loved those DJ's albums because they were professional mixtapes.

 

[KBtheKey]

Idk. What about drama and green lantern tho? DJ holiday?

 

[International Playa]

I doubt those albums were easy to make, how do you split the money with all the artists & producers.


Most of the DJs named weren't producers

Em's verse

Why cant he just go back to this style

 

[theflyest]

I don’t see either of them crafting albums the way Khalid does. Khalid damn near makes pop music.

They would definitely make better projects, but can’t see it getting the attention a Khalid project gets.

They could've easily been where Khaled is at if they would've kept going with it. Flex came out with a great joint with volume IV in 2000 and Clue in 01 had a monster joint with the Professional pt 2, wtf happened after? They just said "f it"? Them 2 had as much juice as Khaled does today, they could've had anyone collab on anything, would've been some classic records especially cuz Flex knew who to line up who

Khaled has a better personality/brand to crossover & is more well known by the general public.

Flex & Clue only appealed to the hip hop crowd, they would struggle to crossover to the masses

outside of mixtapes that are now kinda outdated, dj drama has the southern ties but don't nearly generate as much albums as khaled if people want to say the south has an advantage. plus drama got raided so who knows what songs could never be retrieved

Impressive how you didn’t see I was responding to somebody else who brought up how Clue had Em on an album and I made the comparison on how all 3 had him at some point.. but that reply’s goal was to place emphasis on the power of Khaled, not Em.. you gotta be trollin

On another note, when the Coli get all these ads? Damn near impossible to reply on the iPhone at times

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Because they are average A&R guys.

Simple.

Kay slay was a very good street A&R
Khaled is very good with clout
