Is Chief Keef Interscope's first failed venture in hip-hop?

Is it possible for an lable to have a .500 avg when breaking artists? I bet u they can. They just looking for the wrong things. And it looks like its blow in up in there face.


no, you're never gonna bat .500 with the majors, that's not the point.. it's all about how many home runs you hit with the majors... that batting for average shyt is for Rawkus, Loud and indy labels.

besides, there is no telling how the public will react to an artist..

MGK was on Interscope at one point? didn't know that

Yayo and Banks sold records, I wouldn't call them failures per se. Olivia, Stat Quo, etc tho...definitely flops

Didn't Keef get a big advance and some type of headphone deal?

Yayo and Banks flopped...in fact, Banks has a huge tattoo dedicated to the flopped album he dropped on his back.

Yayo was just :heh:, So Seductive flopped hard... and that attempt at a ladies record was a classic fail

them beats by keef headphones never came out,and his advance was spent on what? 4 features on his album,2 of which are Interscope artists ( french and 50)... he didn't have any big time producers on his shyt either.

in reality, Interscope didn't really spend shyt on him..most of the money was spent on whatever car/apartment in LA they set up for him to live in.

Wale's cd was undershipped, so I don't know how they "pushed him". Chief Keef got cd's sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

No it wasn't... that's why the internet had a field day with the album jokes.

Washington City Paper even shyt on him.

why do you think he got dropped? AD had one of the worst first weeks in recent history when it dropped. Finally Rich sold almost double that, without all the promo.

I wouldn't call her a flop though

She has at least 3 platinum plaques, hit singles, featured on big songs

Girl did her thing while she was there, lasted just as long as foxxy n em. Female rappers ain't gonna be hot forever
