Aftermath rumor - House cleaning ahead????

[Z the laidback Virus]

Rumour or not, Aftermath would probably benefit from a house cleaning.

lol wow Dre to buisy to work with any1...surprise

Really though.

I wanna know what he's so busy with. I mean, he hasn't dropped an album in almost ten years. And Aftermath drops an album like once every two years. So what is he doing with all his time?

Arranging his $100's and $50's into neat piles...

[wcsoldier]

^^^^ probably dude made 20 Millions in 06 just by releasing 10-15 beats, mixing a whole album and running his label ... life is too easy for him I guess

[es-jay]

allhiphop rumours are fuckin shit. this article was posted here on the Dub about 2 days ago:

"Built 4 Cuban Linx II," meanwhile, will be 14 or 15 tracks of "raw hip-hop," with production he says is "a little deeper." Collaborators on the album include Dr. Dre, RZA and the late J. Dilla, the latter on what Raekwon calls "a brother and sister track" to "Triumph" from 1997's "Wu-Tang Forever." He may also be looking for a new label home for the album, as Raekwon says he and Interscope "didn't come to a complete understanding about the project."

so it would appear that jimmy is fucking the project up, not Dre...

Wonder if Bishop will ever be able to drop an album on Aftermath. Dont really care though.

[wcsoldier]

^^^^ Bishop will probably have a club record or a funny one ala "My name is" as a 1st single .. I don't see major pbs for him , outside the usual pushbacks

The issue Rae has is w/ Interscope, not Dre. As for people getting droppped or leaving, it could possibly be Rae and Dion. I don't know about Marsha, Eve & Busta. But Bishop, Joell, Stat and Tiffany are pretty much set in stone.

btw, Eve's album is currently set for Oct. 16th.

wcsoldier, Gage and Antonio were signed to the Math.

It was done but it's delayed for a couple reasons. One reason is that there isn't a big enough buzz surrounding "Here We Go" at the moment. Also, Interscope is spreading the releases which is why Eve is no longer so close to 50's release. I also have a feeling that both Eve and Stat are adding a track or two to their albums to replace "FIRE" since it looks like it'll end up on 50's album (assuming "Fire" was the same Dre beat for all three artists).

So the way it looks now for Aftermath:

50 Cent = Sep. 11th

Eve = Oct. 16th

Stat = Nov/Dec.

Eminem = 1st quarter of '08

Biship = 2nd quarter

Dre = late Summer

aftermath won't be aftermath until it get close as can be to the 2001 aftermath, and that's impossible wit this washed up eminem and snitchy cent, so i dont expect shit from aftermath right now

LOL.. just another day at Aftermah...


Harry Browne presents another day at Aftermath...

**********************************************.

Random Label A&R sits all alone in Aftermath offices....

---Knock Knock Knock!!!---

---silence-------

---Knock Knock Knock!!!----

Rakwon:  "Yo, anybody there?"

Label A&R:  "Who is it?"

Rakwon:  "It's the Chef, nigga, open up?"

Label A&R:  "Who the fuck is the Chef.  You know we are closed at 2pm on Wednesdays."

Rakwon:  "The Chef, nigga, you know, Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin to fuck with!"

Label A&R:  "Ohh, sorry, yeah, come on in.  How's the album comin."

Rakwon:  "Yo, it's hott.  Niggaz been puttin in mad work on this shit, god.  Now we just ready for Dre to do his magic and make this shit a classic."

Label A&R:  "Ummm... yeah... you know... about Dre.  He's busy working on Detox I think.  I don't think he's gonna be available for a little while."

Rakwon:  "Well, you better call dude, cause I done signed with this label for less than a point just so I could work with Dre and make a classic."

Label A&R:  "You know, I hear Koch records is given pretty good contracts these days to has-beens----- I mean, experienced artists who are looking to release another quality album."

Rakwon:  "Naw nigga!  Now you get on the phone and call Dre, I'm ready to be the next DOC, the next Snoop, the next Eminem, the next 50 Cent, it's my time to shine solo nigga!  Now get on the phone before I tie your asshole up and start feeding you!"

Label A&R:  "Okay, okay, but.. Dre changed his number.  Let me call his friend, director Phill Atwell and see if I can get it."

...to be continued

He's suposedly engeneering the "new sound" that will mark this era but i don't believe a word of this theory ..sadly enough i must say

[Fatdodger]

I know something that is really gonna shake the westcoast and the aftermath roster

[ai002h]

The only people doing things on Aftermath are 50 and, when he drops his labum next year, Eminem. ...and surprise surprise..those are also the only artists who can push units without having to worry about getting Dre's blessing, or production/name attached.

I love Dre, but I find it easier to just consider him retired and not expect anything coming from him or, for the most part, his label. That way when shit drops on Aftermath its a pleasant surprise.
