Looking back I think we can all agree Death Row Records > Bad Boy Records

So you really think lil kim, cease, black rob and French Montana dropped better misic than Dr dre, snoop, rage, etc?

Kim and Cease weren't even Bad Boy artists. I just listen to more Bad Boy than I do Death Row. Again, it's my preference.

The ONLY two things that even makes this a respectable debate is:

- Bad Boy has more longevity
- A "Bad Boy Remix" was a guaranteed smash hit.

You could make an argument as far as rap labels go. Not a label in general.

Puff has broken too many kinds of acts.

Bad Boy > Death Row overall. Death Row had Dre, 2Pac, Snoop, & to a lesser extent Dogg Pound as stars

Bad Boy had Total (female R&B group), 112 (male R&B group), Carl Thomas & Mario Winans (male solo R&B), Faith (female R&B), Biggie, Mase, Loon, Black Rob (rap), Danity Kane (female pop), etc.

Half the people you're naming didn't sell. Carl Thomas, Total, Black Rob and Danity Kane only went plat once in their entire career. Loon never even went gold.

That's why we're talking about a specific era. The prime of both labels. If we're naming random ass people Puff signed over the last 20 years, Pac alone outsold them all.
