Examples of stars really pushing their new artists

[TheRtist]

In light of Drake bringing out everyone at MSG except PND lets talk about when aritsts really got behind their proteges

E-40 really went to bat for his artist Turf Talk at the start of the Hyphy movement, he put him on 3+ tracks on his album and all over his singles



Timbaland on the breakfast club



Cam'ron cosigned the hell out of Vado



Lil Wayne & Young Money

pharrell with clipse

a better example would be Ross & Triple C's

Meek & Wale had a lot going for themselves before Ross, Ross just helped them on the last lap.

Mike Will & Pharrell dont count because they are producers and did nothing more than they are supposed to do.

eh, meek yeah, wale not really, if he wasn't with MMG he'd be damn near papoose level right now imo..attention deficit did 28k first week, wale joined MMG, ambition did 164k first week

and the thread title stated examples of 'stars', so they do count

nah that was a play by Roc Nation to bring Wale to MMG.

Meek Mill joined Roc Nation after but had already been with TI/State Property/Cassidy..etc. Remember he made Billboard way before MMG.

Can you name artists who DIDNT get behind their proteges.

And Lets not get the word protege mixed up with signing the neighborhood MC or artists scouring the streets for new talent.

Fif first words on his interscope debut album was "G-Unit." That was marketing genius.
