A few years back, lets say 2 to 3 years ago things were looking promising for Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records.
Artists on each label included:
Aftermath:
Dr. Dre
50 Cent
Busta Rhymes
The Game
Stat Quo
Bishop Lamont
G.A.G.E.
Joell Ortiz
Eve
Raekwon
Tiffany Villarreal
Marsha Ambrosius
Dion
Shady Records:
Eminem
D12
Ca$his
Bobby Creekwater
Obie Trice
Who is left now?
Aftermath:
Dr. Dre
50 Cent
Bishop Lamont
Marsha Ambrosius
Shady Records:
Eminem
D12
Ca$his
Bobby Creekwater
Who could leave or is inactive?
Aftermath:
Dr. Dre - About to retire as an artist and focus fully on producing.
50 Cent - On the brink of retiring from music, who knows if he'll continue making albums? Looking to persue a film career.
Marsha Ambrosius - She hasnt made a release on the label yet, she has an upcoming album. but i can see it being pushed back. Eventually she may leave and release the album on another label.
Shady Records:
Eminem - I can see Eminem coming to the end of his career and this may well be his last album, or maybe penultimate. He's also been very inactive lately - for obvious reasons.
D12 - Have also been very inactive, theyve been persuing solo careers, Proof unfortunately died (RIP), Bizarre is concentrating on solo projects, Swift and Kuniva too, and Kon Artis (Mr. Porter) has been producing alot lately. when is their group album due?
Ca$his - Loose Cannon has been pushed back several times now. Yes, Ca$his has been releasing a lot of mixtapes lately, but those arent on the label, they are independent and for free download.
Bobby Creekwater - His debut album on Shady Records is scheduled for release, but will this album, like other be constantly delayed? Will he stay for long? Or will he be released like many other artists as we know have done so?
What future do these two labels have? Talented artists such as Joell Ortiz, G.A.G.E., Obie Trice, Stat Quo, Busta Rhymes and Raekwon have left - which I believe is a huge loss.
On Aftermath, with Dr. Dre about to retire, Marsha quite inactive and 50 Cent about to focus on Hollywood, Bishop Lamont is left hanging around - the only active artist on the label.
On Shady Records, Eminem and D12 being very inactive, it leaves the quite inactive Bobby Creek and promising rapper Ca$his to release their efforts.
Will new artists be signed? Things need to be shaken up.
