Who's the greatest hip hop exec of all time?

[BlackStarryKnight]

Dame taught Hov and helped out Lee Daniels, introduced us to Kevin Hart as well as many other ppl lowkey behind the scenes. I suggest you do your research on him. Hov turned Rihanna and Kanye into a billion dollar empire. Cole has his own record label.

Drake is half white and Jewish. That's a layup but where is Juvie, BG, Turk? Wayne and Nicki is washed.

No all of that is right. I’m just saying you can’t give so much credit to a guy as an executive who stopped being that for said individual quite a long time ago. Even in my post I don’t credit Birdman for todays success, no one even drops on cash money or does anything with Birdman. You could be right and it’s Dame but not because Jay Z, Kanye etc are still relevant. You named J cole lol he ain’t got nothing to do with Dame.

It’s Lyor Cohen and it’s not really debatable

Poll is jokes

Suge. He had the craziest roster all in like 4 years

suge is prolly #1 as far as having the most impactful roster with Snoop, Dre and Pac alone

but longevity is something you have to factor heavy, so it has to prolly be Dre given he had Em(late 90s), The Game(00s), Kendrick and Anderson Paak(10s)

Russell Simmons

Him not even being listed makes it a joke thread

I feel that but he surpassed him and than some

If Suge tried to be righteous during Death Row's prime he'd be the GOAT exec but unfortunately he couldn't leave the bullshyt alone.

Honorable mention to Russell Simmons for Def Jam.

Discovering LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Redman, Slick Rick, Beastie Boys, etc among others is a pretty great accomplishment too.

Master P

After seeing Big Court talk about how P gave artist with no talent $250k and a house because the no limit name at the time could move records is more than any other nikkas would do for you and will give u a shytty 360 deal

Comments here are funny.

Tie between Irv Gotti and Master P


Dr Dre

 

[feelosofer]

In terms of overall impact. I would argue between Diddy and Dr Dre.
