Ovo is a crappy label.

How come drake don't put on for his label like Rozay does for Maybach?:francis:

No matter how many times I say you can't compare OVO to MMG, the Roc, Ruff Ryders, ETC y'all continue to do so.

Those labels were marketed as family and crews.

OVO is run like a major label where you create your own buzz and work your own music.

Compare OVO to dreamville, Dreamchasers, etc

The fact they have better careers than anyone on ovo :mjlol:

Weeknd out here going multi Plat with #1 singles and 4 albums on ovo betwen them can't even sell 50K :mjlol:
:russell:

The Weeknd & BT went with the biggest offers and OVO wasn't even ready to sign artist when the Weeknd was being courted for deals.

And?

What's exactly your point? If they were on OVO Aubrey would be cherry picking their songs for his own career and they'd be releasing flops like the rest of ovo.

Weeknd out here on arena tours that he's headlining by himself but you think he should sign to a label that nobody cares about :dead: roy wood out here selling 2k first week

You're making excuses for OVO being a crappy label.

Drake is one of the biggest artist in the world and he can't put on for at least one artist that's signed to his label.:heh:
They too busy writing for him.:mjlol:

This. OvO is just used to make Drake music.

The best thing Bryson tiller and the weeknd could have done was avoid signing an ovo contract.:yeshrug:



Its business

Oliver discovered Abel and once the world got a glimpse there was basically a bidding war and he couldn't hold on to that boy.

Thats a special case tho, who really had a project like house of balloons under their belt.


Anyways party is gonna be alright he is building his fan base.

Meek and Wale already had fan bases before Maybach...

Wale was one of the blog rap favorites with Cole, Drake, Wiz, Cudi back then. Nike Boots video premiered on MTV, Lil Wayne remix. Debut album with Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Gucci, Bun B, and Cole features, song on NBA Live, tapes hosted by 10 Deep, fukking Jerry Seinfeld co-signs.

Meek was on Smack, the street DVD's, beef with Reed Dollaz. The Flamerz tapes, had a deal with T.I. and Grand Hustle before Maybach.

Meek and Wale have their own brands independent of Maybach and side deals as well.

Why y'all nikkas don't talk about Stalley, Rockie Fresh, or Gunplay's numbers? Comparing rappers with fan bases and deals pre-MMG to OVO a label with a smaller budget and a roster of Canadian alternative R&B acts.

But the song went Gold without radio play how many times does this need to be repeated?

Nikkas who don't understand the charts or modern music industry chatting. :snoop:

I don't understand how :flabbynsick: wanna tell younger posters whats hot and whose relevant in 2016 in musical genres driven by teens and young adults.

Pretty funny how people claim to be in the know about charts and what's hot, yet can only manage to come up with smilies as the reason why. There's no tangible evidence of a lot of this music people claim to be hot, actually being hot. It's similar to people using extreme analytics to prove a team has a great defense, when you can just use the eye test and see that team goes 3-13 that same year. Do any of y'all actually go to parties/clubs? Y'all actually flip on the radio every in awhile? See advertisements on TV? Or do y'all just look at YouTube and SoundCloud views, both which clearly had been getting manipulated for years? Based on yalls logic, Hopsin and Earl Sweatshirt are some of the hottest selling/unit moving dudes out.

Ross still puts in more work than Drake when it comes to their respective labels.

Dude resurrected Omarion`s career.

Drake is selfish. No way around it. Dude got plenty of clout to put at least one of his artists on, but he'd rather have them penning up another song for himself.:dame:
