Why does the Coli believe OVO is a bad label?

[CrimsonTider]

I never understood why OVO gets a bad rap on here?

Sometimes I see the faulty logic of posters saying look at the Weeknd and Tiller careers and wouldn't have been that on OVO. But I don't understand how this is a legitimate point. Everyone is going to be in a better position on a major label than an artist vanity label

Are you guys comparing them to The Roc, Cash Money, etc? That's wrong too

You have to compare OVO to its contemporaries: Dreamville, Dreamchasers, TDE, FBG, etc

You just answered your own question

 

[mr.africa]

tell me about the OTHER ovo success stories, op

 

[Matt504]

I think Drake would take exception to OVO being called a "vanity label"

 

[HARLEM AL]

They aren't a label to me at all so I don't judge them.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

None of these new generation Labels are really good labels. Take away their main artist and you don't have much besides TDE

OVO seems to be into making alternative music, is there one other rapper signed to OVO? It just kinda feels like they sign artists to the label to write songs for Drake and not to really push any other artists

Bo1da is one of the biggest producers in rap and he's signed to them

What OVO artist has had legitimate expectations on them and failed?

He shouldn't

No one in OVO is a trendy artist trying to capitalize on sounds and music that's popular right now

its a cool little boutique label.
i fukk with Party, Majid, DVSN...i haven't bothered to get around to that Roy Woods kids album.

really its a platform more than a label..it gets you press and then its up you to push on yourself because Drake isn't going to really force you down peoples throats or put "money" behind you.

Honestly, I didn't know people even spoke about OVO records in a positive or negative way?

The fukk cares about a label with 1 relevant artist?

But...if you're on OVO you are on a major label, doe...because you're on Warner Bros.

 

[Keep_It_Hip_Hop_Fam]

If you go outside and ask 10 random people to name an artist on the OVO label they won't be able to.
