Do what?signing to aftermath hurt his career far more then it helped. He was a bigger star before he signed.


Anyway, this isn't surprising. Busta doesn't get enough respect in the game, he didn't make that one sure classic album but he's had a very solid,consistent discography and a very long career.

Not really. His career had gotten kind of stagnant at that point. Alligning with Dre had people talking again. It also gave him his first #1 album. It definitely didn't hurt his career.

He's had verses, even songs where he flies through the whole thing. But recently, he's been making all his guest apperances that shit. Have people in the background making noise like he's "murking" shit, but in reality he's rhyming "Badaboom, badabing, I gotta do a lotta things" lol.

I can see a straight 17 songs in a row being like that lol.

Commercially he was huge before he signed with Aftermath, although to me Big Bang is his dopest album

How you debut on a chart is over rated. It always just depends on your competition that week. How was it stagnant? He was releasing a new solo album every 1-2 years, all with success. He released genesis in 2001 then it ain't safe no more in 2002. Both were successful sales wise, and spawned hit singles.I know what you want and make it clap were in heavy rotation. Sure, the dre signing made noise at first because it was two heavyweights aligning for an album. But busta was far from stagnant. Then the album took four years to hit shelves, the longest in between time in bustas solo career. All the momentum of his career was slowed to a crawl and he's never really recovered. I'd say signing to dre was the biggest mistake of his career. Big bang was also his lowest selling album up to that point. Until his next one of course.

Birdman is flexin his muscles rite now. power moves

its an egocentrical thing that bosses do (look at 50 cent)
u can c how Birdman is leanin back in his chair feelin himself/all self-satisfied n shit,,, i dont think hes a good boss after all

signin alotta talent can help soldify ur label in the industry as a "forece to be reckoned wit", but nine outta ten -- if a label is oveflooded wit talent n diff acts, chances r some of the acts will get lost in the big Bermuda triangle.
look at Def Jam in the late 90's. they had 40 acts on the label at the same time (most of the former clients only have bad things to say, to this day)


the only label that had success wit millions of acts on the roster at the same time, was No Limit in the 90's -- cuz they had a perfect distriubtion deal wit Priority, and No Limit was like a new thing/a franchise at that time,,, so it worked

Mystikal was probably the best rapper from No Limit. But he brought up No Limit as a label overflooded with talent. In reality it only had a couple standout acts and a lot of average to wack ones. A label can't be overflooded with talent if Silkk the Shocker is one of their stars.

One thing P did was make the label more important than the artist. Every album felt like a No Limit album, and its artists would be featured all over it with in-house production. I think that's why they were successful. You almost knew what you were getting with each album, no matter who's album it was.

signing to Cash Money can be even worse than signing to Aftermath for your career. as Mike said, it's mostly an egotistical power move by Birdman (the Man City comparison is actually accurate except for the fact that Man City actually buys the cream of the crop whereas CMB also signed fading legends like DPG (well they didn't even sign or Teena Marie lol) but look at how many big name stars or upcoming artists with a buzz have signed to Cash Money over the recent years and their career have stalled or even worse they left the label without doing anything major. Bow Wow, Glasses Malone, TQ, Freeway.

Title: Re: Busta Rhymes signs to Cash Money Records
Post by: Enigma on November 19, 2011, 10:23:42 PM
Freeway signed to Cash Money? Is this current? Last I checked he's signed to Rhymesayers (the muscle of the independent scene).

Omarion was a bust, Dogg Pound and Outlawz never worked out, TQ could have worked out but they fucked it up, Bow Wow isn't relevant.

Signing Mystikal would be dope, if he can still rap. He fits that image and their sound. They really should try to do that Hot Boys album while they're all still relatively young.

Title: Re: Busta Rhymes signs to Cash Money Records
Post by: Chamillitary Click on November 20, 2011, 05:41:46 AM
I don't know if I agree with Cash Money being a poor career move. A lot of them guys have singles out. You have to understand that Wayne just dropped, so nobody is going to come out near him.

Plus Busta Rhymes automatically becomes the second biggest name on the label, even over Birdman lol. The rest of those guys you're talking about are nobody's.
Title: Re: Busta Rhymes signs to Cash Money Records
Post by: bouli77 on November 20, 2011, 06:21:10 AM
He's clearly the second biggest name on the label, but he's not at the peak of his career anymore, Busta's a vet and his momentum isn't all that as we speak. He might fall into oblivion with such a crowded roster. That's like Hammer signing to Death Row in 96.
