Why does the Coli believe OVO is a bad label?

[Jamal514]

Someone who's serious about putting his artists on would've done this already

There used to be mad compilations back in the day. shyt even recently Kanye did it for GOOD

PND is doing fine, but dudes like P.Reign and OB O'Brien could benefit greatly from a compilation. What have those guys done other than appear in Drake's videos?

What he doesn't seem to realize is that he's hurting himself in the long run. Drake is almost 30 and won't stay hot forever, he should be grooming the future at this point in his career. Once he falls off, OVO is gonna stuggle to keep it's head above water.

I got a question... if it's no big deal that the artist albums flop... why even put out the albums? Why not just put out tapes? Why even put it out for sale? Is that going to recoup the investment? If Majid Jordan are selling like 12k... what is OVO recouping? Roywoods sold 2k... PND gonna sell 50>... why even put albums out?

How so?

Everybody on OVO is there to prop up Drake and give him their best material it seems like.

You look at somebody like 50, he was giving his artists material and his presence to his detriment. Game, Banks Buck went plat, Yay went gold...Mobb Deep and MOP got signed and given a platform on the strength...he was holding THEM up.
Jay got Bleek some shine, Beans some shyt and put him in a position to put his crew on, they all ate from HIS plat. All this "bu but the whisper flow!". They weren't propping Jay Z up at
Same thing with Shady.
Same thing with TDE.

Only OVO artist I know of his Party, and he keep stealing all of Party album...to go and put it on his Party album

Real shyt...it's a successful formula but it's run like a factory, he's Willy Wonka, all these other nikkas are oompa loompas.

dawwwwwwwwg 50 MADE SURE all his artists popped... kirby is much bigger and cant do shyt for his artists

As the resident PND stan, do you really think if he was signed directly to Warner lets say, or even another boutique like TDE or MMG... that he wouldn't be a mega star right now? I could see Rick Ross betting the farm on a talent of this level... Yet PND3 best joints are already distributed on drakes last 2 albums

 

[Vinny Lupton]

It's not about making money.

Yes it is

Especially since the current state of music where songs like Brocolli and One Night are going gold and charting. So save the bullshyt

Those special ed raps will never even smell the top 10 on the hot 100

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Don't get so defensive fukkboi. Especially when you realize that the quote is part of his solo deal that you speak of. And since you seem to think your in the know...what's his label deal ?

All his artists are through OVO Sound/Warner Bros. Nothing to do with Cash Money / Universal

 

[Vinny Lupton]

WHO IN THE fukk IS THAT?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

Be proud of being ignorant and out of touch, brehs. I bet you know when Redman or some other old head drops though

 

[NotaPAWG]

Yes it is


Those special ed raps will never even smell the top 10 on the hot 100

Brocoliii was charted 34 last week and moved up 5 spots in a week and is gaining more and more momentum

The point is you can't make a claim based upon personal opinion and your stanning that the songs Drake has taken from artists couldn't have charted high on their own.

 

[RIPBIGSWOLE]

Yes it is


Those special ed raps will never even smell the top 10 on the hot 100

That Kent jones(don't mind) song was officially released last year and charted at number 9 or 8. Wouldn't be suprised if it's gold now.

I'm pretty sure you read the OP when

So when G-unit was hot, Yayo, Buck, and Banks never put out albums or released nothing but bricks, and 50 was the only one selling? When Ruff Ryders was poppin, it was just DMX making hits, and Eve, Styles, Jada, Sheek, and Cassidy were doing nothing? Rocafella in their heyday was just Jay-Z selling records with Bleek, Beanie, Freeway, Young Gunz, Twista, and Cam'Ron standing by just waiting and doing nothing? That is not true at all.

Im pretty sure the OP says you can't compare OVO to the Roc, and the likes.

Sohh why are you two quoting me comparing them to the Roc, G unit, etc

 

[CrimsonTider]

Drake takes most of his artist hits and they really won't even pop.

Who's hits has he taken?

 

[Still FloW]

Drake stans who spend all day bragging about his sales now want to throw out sales don't really matter and that ovo dropping brick after brick that makes 0 waves doesn't matter because it's a platform

A platform to what? Have Aubrey steal all your music and drop you soon after?

looooool dont hurt their feelings loooool

There's a humongous difference between #34 and the top 10

 

[RIPBIGSWOLE]

gotta see what he specifically wrote but I know he did some stuff for him. I'm sure Drake convinced him to give up that song work also.
