Bein on Deathrow gave em a extra swagger he haven't really had since,he'll still lyrically slice anybody in the game up....but his delivery and cockiness wuz just on a different level when he wuz on Deathrow:blessed:...he mighta just lost that edge with time I don't know,but he wuz definitly killin shyt on Deathrow and I got to be a Deathrow stan one last time before that fell off again when DR,Murder Inc,Rapalot wuz supposed to join forces but the feds came in and fuked it up....he wouldna released shyt on Aftermath either,at least he got sum attention on Deathrow....let's be honest Kendrick got to release his album bcuz he wuz a label plant,ain't shyt that Dre probaly did to make that happen.

What an idiot. He didn't release an album on Death Row either. I would have taken a chance with the biggest label at the time.

:what:

Let's take a look at all the people who've signed to Aftermath...and never did shyt.

Eve
Raekwon
Joell Ortiz
Rakim
Hitmann
Truth Hurts
Bishop Lamont
Stat Quo
RBX


Truth Hurts dropped a Gold album and had a big single with Addictive. Their are some underrated joints on her album.

But yeah, signing to The Math has fukked up a lot of careers, Raekwon was smart to bounce so quickly.

At least he would've had a fighting chance on Aftermath. Even if he never would've saw an album release he probably would've done some ghostwriting, made some money doing features and raised his stock by being associated with the other artists on the roster.

Deathrow on the other hand was shinking ship status long before Suge sunk his claws into him. It's gotta be one of the worst career decisions in hiphop which is why it's no suprise that he ended up forming a supergroup with Joe "Do you want fries with that" Budden.
