i am pretty sure this is unheard of. it is an unbelievable stat. if em and 50 were actually dope artists, it would make them the GOAT label, but em music dont hold up, and 50 kinda a one album wonder. if the music was piff, i dont see how you put anyone against them, they might even have had def jam beat.

i think Kendrick has actually given Aftermath their 3rd classic.

Good Kid Maad City

64 million units sold in the US alone. damn........... Death Row sold like 30 million....


dre the ultimate survivor in hip hop. a part of 3 legendary labels that he built form the ground up. thats like winning 3 superbowls with 3 different teams brehs from scratch.

dude is one of the few who truly deserve nothing but our respect.

Dres earned over 100 Plat plaques in his time in the game, he's inarguably the GOAT commercial producer in hip hop, most longevity aswell.

Def Jam, Death Row and Bad Boy are Hip Hop Most Iconic Labels. "Aftermath" you can't hate, they had a lot of success but it was honestly mostly Eminem. Sure 50 and Dre moved units but over 60% of "Aftermath" sales belong to Em. Also where's the classic music? I'll give you 2001, Get Rich and 1 of Em's album but what else? Are you going to say Aftermath has more Classic albums than Def Jam, Death Row and Bad Boy? NO.

How many classic albums are you spotting Bad Boy? I'm assuming Biggie's two albums...then what?

i cant even say Bigs albums were classic, he had a lot of great moments on albums that were uneven. Bad Boy dont have more classic albums than Aftermath, classic music no doubt with the singles and radio domination no doubt though.
