It's 1994, who you signin' with? death row records or bad boy records?

[H. Selassie]

by 94 Death Row was on a slow decline.

.

what albums in 94 were DR better than Bad Boy tho?

Above The Rim soundtrack sold 2 million in 94
Murder was the Case soundtrack sold 2 million in 94
Dogg Food sold 2 Million in 95
AEOM sold 5 Million in 96
Makaveli sold 4 Mill in 96
Doggfather sold 2 Mill in 96

Deathrow's "decline" was due to unforeseen circumstances, not a drop off in relevance or oversaturation.

 

[African Peasant]

You should've said 95.

 

[African Peasant]

I'm going with Bad Boy. When I was a kid, Bad Boy seemed more fun to be around. Plus, I love the NYC's atmosphere.




Daeth Row looked like a gang set.

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

..........

Death Row but left after Pac got shot and Suge got locked up. Would've been too shook to be on Bad Boy after Suge called out Puff that next year and everyone started going at them. Studio sessions would be godly on both record labels tho

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Neither; I'd stay neutral and sign with Loud, Priority, or Columbia

You just want a Nas collab..Nikka you aint slick

 

[ChaddyLack]

Fukk what u heard I'm signing with Suge n them. Get to work with Quik, Johnny J, and Daz. Pac gonna be home next October n we gonna end up whooping some producer from Pittsburgh's ass too!

BAd boy...by 94 Death Row was on a slow decline.

The hey day of DR was 1991-1993 with Dre's first album and Snoop's first. After that the quality of the music falls off.

BB was startin to bubble with Mary J and then Biggie... they didn't fall off for another 7-8 years after.

You do know AEOM dropped in 96 right

Deathrow's "decline" was due to unforeseen circumstances, not a drop off in relevance or oversaturation.

if we're talking sales, then half the commercial albums back then were "classics."

And going by my original theory of pre Dr. Dre and post Dr. Dre....Doggystyle sold 11 million world wide and the Chronic album sold 6 million. By comparison that is still a "decline" post 1994 compared to the sales of the albums you've listed.

I mean is anyone REALLY going to sit here and say that Murder Was the Case is a classic sdtk except for one or two tracks? Same thing with Above the Rim?

Is Dogg Food is a classic album, except for 2 or 3 tracks?

AEOM is a double disk album with slightly more a few good tracks but "classic?"

Makeveli same deal...and Doggfather?


I mean according to your logic "Da Game is To be Sold" by SNoop is a "classic" because it went double platinum...and "No Limit Top Dogg" is a "classic" because it sold 1.5 mill LOL.


Either way, not a single one of those albums are classics...some may have classic tracks, but they are just old ass albums.

I get the feeling that people are just nostalgic about those albums simply because they are just old. Nothing else.
