Gotti scores smash singles, Khaled is a mega celebrity with smash singles every year and Nick Jonas seems to be a big celebrity in big movies and singles just of a google.

And Roc Nation is a media company, the label is just one part and many of these people are not on the label.
It also contains media profiles, athletes, songwriters, producers, dj's, video makers, authors, indie rock artists and on for publishing, management, record labels, deal making, tour management and it goes on. I think their biggest focus is management, publishing and striking big deals with endorsers, Hollywood etc.

So no, it's in no way close to what you are describing.

Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer scored smash singles yet their music was wack. I think the same thing bout Yo Gotti and Khaled

Same for Iggy.

And I know Roc Nation is a management company. I made the comparison cause Koch would sign almost anybody back in the 2000's and that's what I see with Roc Nation. When the last time Jim Jones been popping? Not since that wack ass Pop Champagne song.

But whatever you say, bruh.

Yeah, Roc Nation is all elite talent.... Jim Jones, Iggy Azalea, Yo Gotti:skip: and I'm sure there's other artsts I'm forgetting.

LMAO at Khaled. Nick Jonas? Motherfukker, what? LMAO! U just proved my point!

And Shakira? When the last time she put out a song that was good and had any type of relevance? Not since "Hips Don't Lie"

Maaaaaaaaan

Name the elite talent in the game today?

You just sounded old and washed and don't even know it. Like, incredibly washed. This was bad. It's about star power. Khaled is a star. Koch did not have stars. Khaled has a show on TV with Diddy, and like 80 endorsements. Jonas is still a pop star. Shakira just won the grammy for Latin pop album and grosses over 100 million per tour. I never said everyone and notice how you ran away from naming that entire roster because the more you name, the worse you look. You have to be 43.

Roc Nation co manages the biggest DJ in the world in Calvin Harris. You sound crazy.

Sorry, I stepped on your toes. Lemme fall back, I see some stans.:hubie:

Koch was more an alternative to the majors for solid indie distribution of music and movies. They weren't signing everybody, they had platform in which people could distribute music and get a good return, they also did distributions for other labels. That's how indie distribution operates.
Completely different business model. But something that would've been really dope if a black dude could start in these internet times where management is the key and money is not as important.

At Roc Nation they are taking an off brand artist like Mariah Carey and managing her catalogue, getting it into movies, giving her I don't know what shoes or a perfume and shyt like that.

shyt, I don't know. The game is in shabbles today. In terms of new talent? I don't know man. Cause the scale for what's considered great today is below average and what is good gets overrated cause of the non existent great shyt not coming out. I don't really see anything "elite" in today's good. A couple cool and good cats in the game but nobody I would call elite.

To me, the bar was lowered on what's great, good and wack in the late 90's. It was like a shift and then when the 2000's hit it just went haywire and crazy.

Not to say it won't no great music that came out during those years, but there was a steady decline and it's only continued to get worse.

SOHH ICEY N.O.
Same can b said for diddy with badboy but he still in the mix. Not saying anyone a snake, jus looks funny. Specially wit biggs.like somebody said hov wasn't rocking wit him like that. N dame seemed to be holding him down. He come home n get up under hov. Looks funny style to me.I don't think dame trippin tho. Knowin him he rather b on the outside giving interviews with his barber than be in there looking like one of hov sons.
who says hov was rocking with Biggs while he was down. Nobody ever said that, most stuff jay do he don’t put It out there. Dame had that rant about people not holding Biggs down while he was down, he was talking bout Kanye.

Jay a lot of stuff and nobody knows about until somebody exposes. Everything don’t have to be on front street all the time.

First day Biggs was home jay was there for him.

Y'all crazy....

Dame can't step foot in NYC because he has warrants out for his arrest for unpaid child support. Warrants. There's a reason he's always in LA now.

At the same time, Dame don't wanna hang with these people anymore. Tho it's funny that he's begging Irv Gotti to tell Kevin Hart to support his "movie"........ :huhldup:

With regards to Biggs, Hov has personally supported some of his fashion lines. The whole "Reasonable Doubt" clothing line.... Hov was wearing it. The Roc-A-Fella shoe? Hov was wearing it. The hoodies? Hov was wearing them. Then Biggs is doing business with Emory, who is their mutual friend. Biggs is also tight with the Dominican Harlem OGs (Juan, Moya, Bo, Gordo)..... who work with Jay-Z. Do you see Dame wearing Biggs' hoodies?

There's a reason you see Biggs with Jay more often now
that and damn disrespecting og Juan and his wife and calling them snitches
