lol, couldn't have put that better...

Anyway, I'd actually like to see Pharoahe on Shady Records. I dunno how he would sound over Em's beats (doesn't sound like a great combo to me, but I guess we will have to wait and see if it ever happens), but I do know that I'd be very interested in hearing a Pharoahe/Obie collaboration. Don't ask me why, I'm a bigger Em fan than Obie fan, but for some strange reason I get the notion that Pharoahe and Obie would really compliment each other on the mic.

Just think what the Shady roster could have been/could be:

Em
D12
Obie
50 Cent
Stat Quo
DJ Green Lantern
Pharoahe
Royce (why oh why did Em stop fucking with him even BEFORE the beef ??? )
Xzibit (wasn't he in talks to get down with them a while ago?)

I'm sure there was another big name (or well known) rapper in talks to get down wth Shady, but my mind has gone blank. Anyone notice anybody else on the list of possible signings that I've missed?

One thing I don't understand though - why does Em share his top signings with Dre? It was Em who ''discovered'' 50 Cent, even Dre admits this in interviews, yet he is a Shady/Aftermath artist. Same with Stat Quo, who refers to Em as his C.E.O yet he too is Shady/Aftermath. I wonder if Dre has a say in who is purely Shady and who is co-aligned with Aftermath? I mean, its not like Dre is 'sharing' The Game & Busta with Shady Records...confusing...

Shady Records is part of Aftermath, so anyone (ex: 50 Cent) signed to Shady is automatically falling under Aftermath as well. However, if someone (ex: Busta) is signed to Aftermath, he isn't necessarily signed to Shady.

i love "simon says" ^^^^^^^ good song.

Conan:
Live-N-Die-N-LA, that makes sense - but D12 and Obie are purely Shady artists. Then again, they were the first signed to Shady so maybe he decided later to put out all Shady artists from then on with Aftermath. Eh, I dunno...
