Post by: Eihtball on January 22, 2006, 12:01:30 PM: Miscellaneous (or Misc?) - they appeared on the song "As The World Keeps Turning" from Dre's "The Aftermath" compilation, and got dropped almost immediately after. I have their debut album (it came out independently in 2000), and there's a track where they diss Dre and address the matter.

In fact, now that I think about it - it's ironic that almost every artist on that CD (as well as many of Dre's protege producers who also worked on it) got dropped from the label not long after the album dropped.

Ras is at the end of litigations with Priority records and is about to be free from his contract within the next few weeks to months..basically he has offers from everyone..but In My Opinion hell be on Aftermath or a Aftermath imprint...hes always been heavily supported by everyone at the camp..I cant really speak for Ras nor can Ras really speak on the subject (because of the lawsuit) but id suspect he'd be on some kind of Interscope related label by the summer...

Post by: LyRiCaL_G on January 23, 2006, 08:16:15 AM: lol@gage signing with dre, he should have known better, his career is over before it even began......nobody gonna be interested in him once dre tells him his times up, ask antonio, joe beast(who was catchy as fuck imo)...brooklyn.......and so on
Title: Re: Name all artists who were dropped from the Math since 96
Post by: Eihtball on January 23, 2006, 08:25:51 AM: Wait...so does everyone want me to hook up the Misc? album, or should I just post the Dre diss track?

Post by: Larrabee on January 23, 2006, 10:56:01 AM: Current Aftermath roster

Dr. Dre, Eminem, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Eve, 50 Cent ( Shady-Aftermath ), Stat Quo ( Shady-Aftermath ), Bishop Lamont & G.A.G.E.

Artists that got dropped in the last 5 years

Hittman, Truth Hurts, Rakim, Joe Beast, Brooklyn, Shaunta, Antonio

I don't think Ice Cube was officially signed, and Mel-Man left the label at one point a few years back. Back in the day, most of the artists that were signed in '96 left shortly afterward.

Post by: wcsoldier on January 23, 2006, 11:02:42 AM: That makes a ton of artists. One thing I always wonder is why Dre signed "unmarketable" artists knowing Jimmy won't release shit. I just don't get it
Title: Re: Name all artists who were dropped from the Math since 96
Post by: Kaligula on January 23, 2006, 03:28:35 PM: I'm still scratching my head to G.A.G.E. He's just never gonna cut it.

Post by: Dedicato on January 24, 2006, 12:01:29 AM: Brooklyn is signed to Aftermath as a songwriter, so she's still with the math ...

There're so many artists who got dropped ... D. Robinson, Hittman, Beast, Shaunta, Antonio ... Truth, RBX & Ra left the math
Title: Re: Name all artists who were dropped from the Math since 96
Post by: Okka on January 24, 2006, 01:40:50 AM: Bud'da was a producer on the Aftermath Production team, so i think he got dropped too...
Title: Re: Name all artists who were dropped from the Math since 96
Post by: Don Seer on January 24, 2006, 06:49:42 AM: Glove was on the production team too...

thing is.. dre's relationship with a lot of ex artists is pretty good.. since he didnt tie peoples hands who wanted to leave.

last emperor was def signed.. he did drop a 12" on interscope/aftermath (cant remember what one now).. some of his leaked tracks mention dre/aftermath and on his lastest album he reaches out to dre and kinda apologises for being young and having a bad work ethic..

Post by: No Compute on January 24, 2006, 08:02:48 AM: T.JONES: "First you were signed to Dr. Dre's label Aftermath Records. What happened with that deal?"

THE LAST EMPEROR: "Initially, I was signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records in 1997. When I got there, it was with a certain understanding that my album would come out in a certain amount of time. I thought that the rate of production and work that I would partake in would be somewhat frequent. When I got there Dre couldn't be as hands on with my project as he initially alluded to. I was pretty much the low man on the totem poll at Aftermath. So, at a certain point, I had to say to myself, 'Well this is not really satisfying to me or the rest of the empire in terms of how rapidly the music can be placed'. I was kind of limited even at doing side projects. So, that first deal kind of went sour. At a point, Dr. Dre sat me down and said, 'Look, realistically speaking, the album may not come out for another 3 to 4 years. If this is something you could live with or a reasonable scenario, cool. If not, and you feel that you need to go somewhere else, I can respect that as well'. I opted for the latter. I really dug the potential of what could have happened at Aftermath but I didn't feel that my project was getting the right amount of attention. I opted to leave. The parent company, Interscope, kept me for about a year. The situation was, I was given an A&R and this was his first experience, being an A&R in music at all. So, that didn't work. For the second A&R I got, it was his first experience dealing with a hip-hop act. Prior to that, he dealt with acid rock and things of that nature. It kind of created a riff or a clash. When we ironed out everything, I got dropped from the label. This was around late 98 or early 99. If you studied what was going on with a lot of labels around that time or the American company in general, you would know that there were a lot of companies folding and downsizing. I looked at that situation like I got downsized if I worked for Enron or something. They let me go because resources were scarce. After I got out of Interscope, I sat around for about a year as a free agent. I did as many projects and collaborations as I could."

Post by: Layeth THe Smacketh Down on January 24, 2006, 04:40:36 PM: Daks was signed to. He was on the Wash soundtack and performed that song Ridin High with RC.
There was also an artist called H&R Block that was signed. Dre talked about him in an interview with MTV around the time the Truth Hurts album dropped in 2002. I guess he got dropped before he even released any material.

Post by: Cheese on January 25, 2006, 09:33:10 AM: This dude was supposed to sign to the MAth. There were rumours about him being shot 35 times and he supposedly killed 24 gangmembers. Still he got dropped when Dre saw his picture...

I think Dre produced a couple tracks for him, he was on The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem was on Black Trash...

I was just guessin!!!!!

was ras kass in negotiations with aftermath?

Ras is at the end of litigations with Priority records and is about to be free from his contract within the next few weeks to months..basically he has offers from everyone..but In My Opinion hell be on Aftermath or a Aftermath imprint...hes always been heavily supported by everyone at the camp..I cant really speak for Ras nor can Ras really speak on the subject (because of the lawsuit) but id suspect he'd be on some kind of Interscope related label by the summer...

Is he off Priority yet?
