She did that on Ruff Ryders, who had distribution thru Interscope.... but when she came over to Aftermath, she got dropped.

i said she failed, not flopped.

Her, Busta,Raekwon,Joell Ortiz and Rakim are all examples of how shyt doesn't always work with Dre.

rae went indy before that shyt hit the fan with a official aftermath release :whew:

:heh:

Rotten Apple and Thoughts of a Predicate Felon never went platinum.

you don't remember when Game shyt on Banks for selling 48k his second week?

dude got a huge push from Interscope for that album, even had an episode of Miami Ink with him getting his album cover tatted on him.

Tony Yayo didn't even go old :heh: neither did Rotten Apple breh.

Yayo went Gold a long time ago bro where are u getting your facts from?

Banks was far from a flop his first album is platinum and he had hit singles on it. On Fire was a top 10 hit on the billboard hot 100

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..



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.

Banks had success he has a platinum plaque and rotten apple went gold eventually :rudy: seductive was a top 50 billboard hit . For the weakest member out the crew to get that high up is :jawalrus:
And comparing 50 to Keef who's generated nothing for interscope as opposed to 50 who damn near carried the label on his back is hilarious .

She got on interscope again after the success of that single... No album, got dropped.

The first time she went by the name Eve of Destruction and had a single on the bullworth soundtrack. She got dropped and popped up with the ruff ryders later.

Interscope has burned a lot of money on aftermath projects that don't get released.

Dr. Dre did "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" and "Satisfaction" - that production made her career . . maybe not, but in my eyes :usure:

Yayo never went Gold. he's still hovering around cork

Rotten Apple was a complete flop, especially with all the hype around it at the time.

and i never compared 50 to Keef, the only time i even mentioned him is that he's one of the 2 interscope features on the album... and i did it in regards to his advance.

:heh: 50 Carried Interscope on his back...when Eminem was a far bigger draw than 50 ever was.

Breh, how 50 Carry Interscope on his back when he was signed a sub-label of a sub label ?
