I never understood why TDE was always perceived as some dope ass label to be at.
they got a cool collection of artists and producers. i will say TDE lets each of their artists do them...not try to fit some mold, but in the course of "doing you" you, got to wait 2 years between projects :rudy:

TDE recent records

2014: 4 releases
2015: 2 releases
2016: 3 releases so far

I think that's pretty good, most labels can't even stack up to that
when i think of this camp, the issue isn't retail releases, it's the fact they don't do mixtapes/ep's, don't really let their artists do many interviews if they're not on their "album cycle", they (outside of k dot and q) don't do many features outside their camp/high visibility features (don't know if this is driven by the artists or the label). like i said in another thread about TDE, these cats don't have to be curren$y with the output, but it's fact that today's attention spans are much shorter, the artists on TDE need to be a shorter cycles and have more visibility.

One thing about OVO is everybody gets a release. But the model over there is no big push, relying on fans to organically spread word and social media etc (Like worked for Bryson and Weeknd.) Am I right in saying everybody on OVO has dropped a project this year pretty much?

TDE is good but it's kinda closer to the traditional rapper label. It's hard for them to manage a singer. G Unit flopped with Olivia but I feel like SZA will end up doing well on TDE
I don't know why people shyt on OVO.

They all get barcodes over there :manny:
