Shady/Aftermath the new Death Row? For all the wrong reasons?

[Caesar]

Anyone else feel like Shady/Aftermath has turned into the new Death Row for all the wrong reasons?

Signing a bunch of artists and then just never putting them out?

Look at Stat Quo, didnt do shit on the label now drops a mixtape a month. Reminds me of Crooked I.

I wonder if Bishop and Cashis will actually release anything?

Not to mention all the high profile artists that signed and left over the years.

Wasn't there another thread like 2 months ago on this?

edit: found it http://www.streethop.com/street-corner/160708-what-happened-aftermath.html
was in Dec 2008.

Joell ortiz and Gage were good, young talent creating buzz on the street and they were let go.

people had already heard of obie and stat quo from eminem albums (also obie on his own, since cheers went platinum) so these two artists leaving was a huge loss.

cashis, obie and stat quo constantly having their latest releases being pushed back.

is stat quo going to release stantlanta or is the whole project/album scrapped (if so, is he releasing it song by song?)

joell oriz and gage never saw the light of day, although they dropped some good mixtapes. but to admit, all gage got a chance to do was rap over previously made beats from other artists.

bishop will release the reformation after detox, which will in turn come after BISD and relapse - which are also constantly being delayed.

so the big question is, like caesar is saying, when will aftermath drop another album.

p.s. the math also lost raekwon for OBFCLII distribution, and Eve. Im pretty sure Missy Elliott was there for a while. They also lost Tiffany Villarreal recently, who i think is a very good singer. Marsha is not really doing much the way it looks, she did release a mixtape about 2 months ago, however.

^Eminem release soon. Dr Dre release soon. 50 Cent release soon. That's all I can think of and those don't even have release dates yet.

It's pretty sad for a label that could have such potential.

When was the last time they released anything good?

i wish bishop would get his stuff put out..... There were some really good tracks of that mixtape, the Confessional??... If he is not all over Detox then i think Dre is making a mistake

eminem teeny boppers think Crack a bottle is the best song ever.

eminem teeny boppers think Crack a bottle is the best song ever.

and it's in fact horrible. I really hope Em's album doesn't turn out to be a huge disappointment.

do you realize most eminem fans have been his fans for the better part of a decade now? step up your stereotype game, pussy.

i think he's talking about the ones who just found out who he was when "without me" or "just lose it" came out. - and i bet most of those type eminem fans dont even know "crack a bottle" exists.

crack a bottle isnt anything good, but id MUCH rather hear that on the radio then 99% of mainstream rap today.
