Got me thinking after watching SOC. 
Would Aftermath be as big as it is if Eminem was never signed?

No, but Dre would still be who he is today.
no he wouldn't. Before Eminem Aftermath was a flop company. You think people would be paying 400 for Beats if his last hit was keep your heads ringing. Which didn't even hit top 10.

The question they don't ever want you to think about
Quite simply, no
Eminem's co-sign is what resulted in 50 Cent's success in mainstream America

Wow. So we're just gonna act like people weren't hype as shyt for the Ice Cube, Rakim, Dr. Dre, Hittman, and Knoc-Turn'Al albums that was supposed to come out? Or the Truth Hurts, Snoop Dogg collaboration project, and N.W.A. albums either

Would the United States be an independent country if it had lost the Revolutionary War?

So becuz Dre dropped "The Aftermath" compilation (that had one or two of his greatest beats on there) that all of a sudden he was a dead fish floating in the water?

lol you realize literally none of those were scheduled until AFTER eminem came out right? Of course not,youre an idiot.Wow.

When dre left death row he wasnt rolling in money,he couldnt afford top notch musicians and beat makers to work with. When that aftermath compilation dropped it was fukking trash. Literally nobody liked that shyt. And the king t album got bad reviews and was promptly shelved. Aftermath was on its way to being a huge failure. The firm was also trash. Dres production around that time was mediocre AT BEST
Without dres cosign eminem wouldnt be where is. And without eminem aftermath would have floundered and failed.
