Pharoah Monch to sign with Shady / Aftermath!!

[Kill]

It was alleged that Eminem and Dr Dre were so keen to sign the MC, they flew to New York to do the meeting face to face.

kinda has me questioning the credibility of the article. dre's lazy ass will never leave LA for another person, trust me.

LOL

I hope it ain't true...that'd just be too many cats on a label that releases about two records every decade

^^^^Similar to 50's situation...they gave him airplane tickets to go to LA so they could meet him face to face.
This would be cool, I'm all for it

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I sure hope not. I wanna see a Pharoahe album somewhen within the next ten years, and I don't wanna see his creativity being spoiled by Dre and Em's influence.

[LazyLatino]

im gonna laugh real hard when all the sudden you see mad albums drop from the math ina year period

LMAO

Yo, this is off the subject but what label is Kweli on now after Rawkus folded? Is he not on the Roc or something now? I don't know if that is right but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that on this board, but it could have just been speculation or which label someone would like to see him on. Does anyone know for sure which one he is on now, or is he currently a 'free agent'?

[CRAFTY]

Talib Kweli is currently a free agent. Last thing I heard he was still negotiating with several labels (including Roc-A-Fella)...

[Conan]

Cool, thanks for the info CRAFTY. I personally think Kweli should go with Roc-A-Fella. Him and Kanye make a good combination and he has a good chance of dropping an album over there. Any word on Mos Def?? I'm beginning to doubt that he will EVER drop another record, but isn't he working on a new CD? I've definately seen a couple of newer tracks by him floating around on current mixtapes, such as the track with Ludicris. He inked a new deal yet? Its just that I find it pretty surprising that the entire former Rawkus roster hasn't been snapped up yet...

[LyRiCaL_G]

itd be good for aftermath f they released his cd, but i cant see how aftermath and jimmy would be happy enough to release a monch cd, ra left cuz he wasnt ready to become all gangsta again, homie became mature......i dont see how monch would get a cd released from aftermath.

[white Boy]

fuck aftermath, with all the artists they got, they will NEVEr release his album, like poeple said rocafella would be better, they need some good rappers, and it would be good if talib signed with the roc also,

Actually Kweli and Mos were both signed by Geffen to release their next albums. Both their albums should be released somewhen in spring/early summer. However I think these are both just one album deals, and the major rumour going around is that they will both sign to Rocafella after these albums have been released.

This could be good (I know that could be a longshot) if the following happens:

1. Eminem does not do any production on this album. God he's an awful producer.

2. Hi-Tek gets down on this album for production. He got down on Truth Hurts' LP so you never know.

3. If Dre could give him a couple of his heater beats as opposed to leftover tracks, yeah hope against hope.

4. Dre doesn't try to change who Pharoah is as an artist.

[G Funk Era]

I agree with Halu Sination on this, it dont sound true with the whole flyin out thing n shit

My thoughts exactly.

[NobodyButMe]

people wouldnt be signing there if they didnt want to, its not like they get no choice in the matter

\

word. it's not like the 'math releases horrible albums either....but then again, they don't really release all that many....

[KavorkianPorkian]

Pharo Would Be Good .  But I'm Still Pissed About Rakim.  What Dre Needs To Do Is Get RAs Kass On The Label And Get Him Popin'.  What The Fuck Are You Waiting For Dre, Sign The Man.
