How this guy is the most paid musician this year tooNiggah selling fuckin headphones not music.Dre stay gettin pain off other peoples shit.
You do understand that every label has just as much a bust/hits as Aftermath, right? Dre has a known track record/history of being a perfectionist in the studio. He will NOT co-sign on a song/album if he isn't feeling the direction of it. In order words, if you're looking to make a quick buck, you're gonna get dropped or you don't cut it with Dre. There's a reason why most of these acts say they left because of "Musical direction" of the album. Some of his acts that left were already established when they joined Aftermath (Busta, Rakim, Eve, The Firm) and/or were joint distribution deals (Raekwon).
I wouldn't say it's a joke but moreso it is a graveyard for acts that aren't seeing eye to eye with Dre, musically/production wise.
Kendrick, Game, 50, and Em all blew up under Dre. When they blew up, they BLEW UP i.e. HYPED that year. (Game in 2005, 50 in 2002, Em in 1998, Kendrick 2011-12). Truth Hurt had a freaking top 10 hit back in the late 90s. Additionally some of the guys that he brought in were there for solely ghostwriting for him like Royce Da 5'9, Bishop Lamont, RBX and Hittman.
As to why Dre was ranked #1 on Forbes as the highest earning musician was because of branding. You do know that Beats by Dre contributed to his ranking right? Dre split from Monster and is distributing headphones as its own brand name.
It is legal because I wish it.
Nah fam. I've been following Hip Hop for ages esp the career of some of the acts that blew up in the early 00's. Some of the former acts on Aftermath were signed due to association. Like Joe Beast was put on to Aftermath due to Dre's production staff member, Mel Man. I mean, you can google it all and tell me I ain't on point of what I stated. I'm just trying to give yall my opinion and brief you on some hip hop knowledge. Yall probably didn't know that at one point Game was gonna get dropped by Interscope/Jimmy Iovine before Dre put him on with 50. The same goes with Dre was close on getting Cube on Aftermath.You do understand that every label has just as much a bust/hits as Aftermath, right?

But on the real, 2001 was
///wtt: medium f/w'12 supreme N-3B for a large...
im not sure about overrated...i dont hear him being lauded as legendary an awful lot, but when i do, he has the track record to back it up so i dunno why OP is PMSingQFT. The guy has the track record of putting out bangers. He'll flip an artist career w/ one track.

don't ride my wave
Yeah, Dre's overrated.. That's why if you polled every rapper in the game right now, 9 out of 10 of them would kill for a chance to work with him. And if there's anything that backs that up, it's his track record. Get out.Point Im trying to make is that Eminem, 50 and game all would've blown up on any other label, Dre should be able to make any rapper a hit.
say my name. fannnn...dannnnnn.....gooooo

you can't just say that. it takes a lot of pieces for an artist to be commercially successful; otherwise all good lyricists would be on the top 40 right now. if one were to research every label's endeavors, there's gonna be a whole list of busts with only a couple standouts. dre has classic hits solo and with nwa, has produced beats that everybody knows, and is mentor to arguably the greatest rapper all time. george washington lost more battles than he won; edison had thousands of inventions that failed. dr dre is not king midas.
overrated? i mean i understand there are some people out there who don't fuck with him but if we're basing his "overatedness" on the number of artists signed to him that didn't do numbers, then i think that we could add a few more label execs to that list as well.
Detox gonna be 4 cds watchDetox is going to be a failure if its not at least 2-4 discs of perfect beats with 40 guest features

Honestly you can't even cite Eminem as a reason for him not being overrated, Dre didn't really do shit. Dre produced literally 3/15 songs on Em's first album. So really it was just Dre's name behind the shit. and the Songs he produced (which were the singles of course) Aren't even half as good as the rest of the album.
and you can't say "oh well lets throw some other record exects in there then cause they have more flops" Bigger labels have a bigger umbrella. Theres literally over 200 artists signed to Universal, of course there's gonna collectively be more flops than Dre's label, but the difference is Dre is running the label himself, with major distribution. His umbrella is way smaller so it would be easier for him to prevent a flop. now if you go by artist-owned labels then Aftermath is probably the worst, along with Shady and Rocafella (don't say the obvious "but but kanye", because theres still Osheeno & Sparks and numerous other flops)

Bad Boy Records is a hell hole just look at Cassie for example. She hasn't released an album since she split from Ryan Leslie's label. She's too busy fucking Diddy.What annoys me is Dre co-signs kendrick and does fuck all on his album? why not produce a few songs? and like dude above said he produced 3 songs on Em's first album
R.I.P. Chi You Will Be Missed!
didn't kendrick NOT want Dre beats on his debut? "every body heard that i fucked with dre, and they wanna tell me i made it, nigga i ain't made shit, if he gave me a hand out ima take his wrist and break it". ie. having Dre produce the singles, having his production stamped all over the album etc... Watch his 2nd album have a couple of beats by Dre though.Bad Boy Records is a hell hole just look at Cassie for example. She hasn't released an album since she split from Ryan Leslie's label.
