Never thought I'd say this as a 31 year old , but their staying power is incredible:
6 different artists going platinum
5 plat albums in the 90s
6 more from 01-10
6 so far since '10
29 albums at least gold since '98

Hot boys era... (my favorite era...I know...I know...I'm )
Birdman and Wayne era...
Wayne Drake and Nicki era...
Survived the hot boy breakup and the loss of Manny Fresh....

Not sure how many universal classics they have but Guerrilla Warfare, chopper city, 400 degrees, C1 and C2, so far gone are among my favorite albums

Had the hottest rapper in the game twice Wayne and Drake
Arguably the best female rapper of all time Nicki


Do they have a legit argument? If not, what's stopping them?

 

[iliketurtles]

Aftermath...

 

[TheRtist]

Aftermath...

5 letters.

 

[Loud Still Coolin]

easily ......

 

[Cuban Pete]

easily, who else? the roc? death row?

 

[The Hovering Heed]

def.

We cant overlook the independent deal. Also N.O. is a smaller market than NY, CA, ATL etc.

Also they found the GAWD LIL Wayne at such a young age. He is the Chosen One.

 

[Loud Still Coolin]

rapalot records loss

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Yes. You take all their success combined with getting that 80/20 deal and the argument is valid.
Russell Simmons even said it was the best company in hip-hop.

[Rice N Beans]

You'd have to produce quality content for that to happen, thus excluding Cash Money.

 

[R.O. Double]

Now a days, signing directly to cash money makes you a tax write off like Busta Rhymes, Bow Wow, Paris Hilton and Mystikal.

YMCMB is the only part of that label moving units.

 

[iliketurtles]

You'd have to produce quality content for that to happen, thus excluding Cash Money.

YMCMB has classics hits but not albums aftermath won

 

[TheRtist]

Cash Money to hip-hop/rap is what Motown is to R&B

 

[mobbinfms]

Absolutely not.

400degrees Chopper City in the ghetto, and Carter 1 and 3 are piff, the rest is trash. Cash Money has very few classics compared to all the albums they've released, this will keep them from being in the same category of Death Row and Bad Boy ect...
