I'm sitting here thinking about it and I don't really get it.
Did they just have the talent that nowhere else did?

Just curious...why did Philly get so much love from Roc-a-Fella?

Because Jay and Dame brought in Beanie and then Beanie, like any real brother should do, put all his homies on.

Jay Z love philly and besides N.Y we his biggest fan base since day one.Plus N.Y young bulls are ass so why not grab the spittas miles down the road.
I like to add the LOX and Ruff Ryders (Swizz, hid Brother) use to stay and lived in Philly. They use to grab youngbuls and have this spit for them buying their rhymes n shyt no lie.

They signed a crew, Dame was overly generous with the money and gave Beans his own label and they signed every single one of them 
. Oschino or someone said that he got a 900k advance and asked for more to complete his album 
could that possibly have been without a 360 though 
Not even Eminem signed a single person on D12 to Aftermath/Shady?
Ironically though, the only hot rapper from Philly right now is managed by Roc Nation

Are you forgetting that they signed 2 crews? The other crew being Dipset.

Smh Dame and Jay signed Young Gunz not Beans. Beans had nothing to do with Young Gunz and Peedi. Jay and Dame wanted Major Figgas during the Black Friday entertainment days. Philly artists were being signed by the dozens. Philly Most Wanted signed to Pharrell n them but Dame wanted them too. Eve to Ruff but Swizz n them already was Philly Peoples. Ruff Ryders had a bunch of unsigned Philly nikkas around too. Jay stayed following Philly buls. He loves Philly.
They had nothing to do with Beans?
The story I got was that they signed Beans and wanted to sign all the hot spittas from Philly that Beans fukked with.
Nall nothing to do with Beans they jist made them a group like State Property philly shyt but no all of them wasnt sign by Beans.

State Property was put together by Roc-A-Fella
Most of them didn't even know each other
Interesting, I thought Beans signed them to the Roc.
Not that they were friends (or I thought they were dudes that rapped in the same circles, shouldn't have said crew), just that he was like a SVP at Roc-a-fella which is why he headed the clothing line, group and all that.
But perhaps it might've been cause he was the hottest, oldest and best
.Good to learn something new about the roc I guess.
“Can’t no one man put nobody on hold,” Sparks of Oschino and Sparks said about the order sent down by Sigel (see “Mixtape Monday: Beanie Sigel’s Fair-Weather Friends, Saigon’s Dose of Ice-Free Reality.”) ‘State Property’ was a movie, then they branded us. They got a clothing line and sneakers, but it wasn’t no contract where we was a group [named State Property]. We were all in individual groups. The Young Gunz was a group, me and O was a group, [Peedi] Crakk was a solo artist, Beans was a solo artist, Freeway was a solo artist. Jay-Z signed me and O. People saying Beans got everybody signed. That ain’t true.”
“It wasn’t really no State Property, because [Roc-A-Fella] put everybody together,” explained Neef of the Young Gunz, who also said he and his partner were signed to Roc-A-Fella before they even met Beanie. “Nobody really knew each other. Everybody was rapping and trying to get on. They made it hard for n—as. In so many words they said, ‘You gotta come out with Mack [Beanie Sigel].’ ”

MegaTronBomb!
Power is in my hair nikka
That's all Dame breh... he was the one who saw that Roc-A-Fella needed to be more than just " The label Jay-Z is on"... and went to Philly.
Philly got so much love from there, because it's pretty isolated in terms of what gets out of there....so capitalizing on the biggest names gave them a huge advantage as a label.
Lowkey, Dame was trying to be his own Def Jam with all the people he had signed.

Chris and Neef might have been signed before Beanie. Most of SP didnt even know each other before Roc-a-fella. Beans only brought in Freeway and Freeway helped bring in Peedi
