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

I'm referring to all the animosity that Dame has for Jay. At least to me, it has somewhat sullied the Rocafella legacy.
Dame being bitter doesn’t mean anything to the end of Rocafella(2013) which was a massive success anyway you slice it

Oh ok. whats your opinion on Shady Aftermath. Eminem is probably the highest selling of all time. Every album he has ever put out goes #1 off rip damn near.


They still going. They "popping" ?

Shady records and aftermath is still going. Rocafella isn’t and at the end Rocafella was still popping.

ROC went out sad after 2005…


Young Gunz second album was basura

Bleek’s album was ok

Freeway’s second album was decent but it should’ve had better beats. The Bink produced cuts saved the album


It was good while it lasted

All Dame had to do was play his position..


I wouldn’t have been cursing at the guys in the label meetings that could stop everything at a button.

Dude is trying to make an argument about Def Jam/Universal using a legacy imprint mostly for paperwork reasons. Rocafella was dead by this point. They didn't really have any people working for them. No offices or anything like that.:dead:
