You can say that about every single rapper label
I think the difference is that Drake is the biggest rapper in the world and arguably ever. Rappers with less support have made bigger stars that sold records. As big as Drake is, he should have at least 2 fringe level stars under him, and one certified star Imo.

Dude is huge in the game.

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

:jbhmm:
They're not a successful label:yeshrug:

Drake is a mega star & his label is cricket status. Dreamchasers /Dreamville & FBG don't have that

Closest is Kendrick & TDE is far more successful than OVO which in all honesty is pathetic

Not really. Other labels actually let their artists put music out, and they don't have to give up their best material

Every artist on OVO has put an album out and got either a verse from Drake or a slight push from him be it tweet or Instagram post. Only Party has really capitalized on it.

Hasn't everyone on OVO released an album?

An album that has been the artist vision with no lame attempt at hit records

Who has Drake signed that should be a huge star

He has created a niche label for niche artist

What has been impressive about TDE?

"Hold on, we're going home" was supposed to be Majid's hit record but Kirby swiped it. "Legend" was Party's song but Drake took that one too

I've seen Partynextdoor perform shows where everybody knew his words twice in London. He's toured the world without doing an interview on some Weeknd shyt :wow:

That was never suppose to be MAJID hit record and it wouldn't have been a hit if it was thier record

That song was created during the NWTS sessions

And Party makes more from Legend by giving it to Drake vs releasing on soundcloud

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

Awful Records is a great label.

Nobody knows what those records would've done it's too late now. Nobody knows what can take off and what can't
