Is Rocafella the only classic rap label that didn’t go out sad and irrelevant?

Roc-A-Fella Records - Wikipedia

The last 3 albums in the history of the label all went at least double platinum with successful tours. Watch The Throne, Yeezus, Magna Carta Holy Grail. First album in the history of the label went platinum last went triple.

Compared to death row or bad boy or murda Inc who was going triple plastic at the end. Cash money records is still around but they haven’t gotten a platinum album in over 6 years.

Nah, sales wise, it's still Bad Boy. Their last platinum plaque was 2020, whether we like it or not.

Rocafella got the numbers, but not the diversity. They got carried by two superstar artists dropping multiplat every year seems like.

Rocafella literally went out sad and irrelevant.

Beans,Bleek,SP,Freeway,Dame are all the definition of sad and irrelevant.

Brehs, imagine going from the being the dude who was one hit away....to this.

 

[Yehuda]

Sick Wid It and Lench Mob

 

[Billie Jean]

they were sad and irrelevant from jump

 

[Striving For Greatness]

Brehs, imagine going from the being the dude who was one hit away....to this.

Be bald in a shampoo commercial brehs

Magna Carter Holy Grail is for sure going out sad.

This would be somewhat correct if Dame wasn't literally going out sad these last several years.
Also, depends on your definition of Classic. Def Jam is a cheat code when it comes to rap label discussions.

platinum albums isn't the only measuring stick for success in the industry. Cold Chillin doesn't have one platinum album and is still one of the all time top 10 greatest hip hop labels.

Fukk you talking about? Gay Z and Coc-A-Fella went out sad

The final 3 albums of Rocafella are double, triple and 5 times platinum. That is literally not sad and irrelevant

Dame left the roc in 2004, they were popping until the end in 2013

The last album in the history of Rocafella is triple platinum
