Aftermath should've been on the same level if not bigger than Death Row. Too bad Dre & Em got rich and stopped giving a fuck. They pretty much handed their labels over to 50 in 03 and haven't done shit since.
Or Jimmy Iovine. He is fucking up that whole organization right now.

I ain't saying it is dead, but once it is all said and done, what is the label's place in hip hop history. Drop ya 2 cents.
Damn, has everyone gone insane? Aftermath is probably in the top 3 greatest HipHop labels ever, and they're easily one of the biggest selling, Eminem, Dre, 50 Cent - those are three of the biggest HipHop artists ever! Who sold big AND are critically acclaimedAftermath has sold more records than Death Row by a large margin - 50 sold about 25 million, Eminem about 45 million, Dre sold 6 million of 2001... compared with Death Row selling 3 million of the Chronic, Doggystyle 4 million, and 2Pac about 15 millionDeath Row had more 'classic' stuff, though only thanks to Dre anyway... and Eminem's first two records, 2001, and 50's first record are all highly acclaimedBad Boy sold a lot, but is a 99% a joke in terms of credibility (apart from Biggie), same with No Limit, they don't have any really classic stuffThe only label that probably beats both Aftermath and Death Row is Def Jam just because they have so many classic records and had such a huge influence in getting HipHop onto the level it is nowI'm probably forgetting some labels off the top of my head, but Aftermath is definitely up there
