id hope not...his production would be lost in the mix...i think he should stay on his own and produce his own hits...which he has so far...id like to see him actually get back down with the wake up show collective...thatd fit him better...i think the whole vibe at aftermath aint right for him...

That would be cool, but now isn't a good time.  He said that Dre was gonna produce for his next album though.

Dre's a big big fan, so maybe... but I think Dre's MORE than got his hands full, if he signs anybody else i'm gonna go track him down and lock him in his studio.  I'll slide water and cookies (big boys like cookies) under the door for him.

There was rumours about this last year too..
Dre might do a few cuts for him, but I'd doubt he'd sign..
And for the record:

I think he should stay at Rawkus because there they (artists) can make the record they want to make, but if he signed to Aftermath, Jimmy Iovine would make him chnage it to sell more. And i prefer Pharoahe's ear than Mr Iovine. But i want Dre to give some dope beats to Monch, because that could be a potent cocktail.

No he will not .... realisticly its an impossibility.... his album would get pushed back like rakims.... Oh My God...

Let's see.. how long is it since Pharoahe released a solo-album again..??

Truth is I have heard so much about this guy and accept for the Oh No track with Nate on I have heard fuck all of his shit.  So signing to a major label with big promotion might do him some good.

Lol, people spelling his name wrong always annoys me as well.

Anyways, signing for Aftermath would be a very bad idea. If he does then I think he will go down the Xzibit route, and I really don't wanna see Pharoahe go down that path. He should stay on Rawkus, cause like someone else said, he actually has control of his music there, and has more space to be creative. With Kweli's album, and the success that the My Life single off of Soundbombing 3 had, I think Rawkus has more than enough behind it to make Pharoahe's next album better selling than his last effort. He is never going to be a platinum artist cause his rhyming is to complexed for the mainstream market, and therefore his best bet is to stay where he is and continue his current success.

ohh yeah i heard 'simon says' is now banned from sale.. dunno if its true or what.. might be worth snagging a copy while u can coz it might end up a rarity ;)

I was gonna say Bez, how can u not have heard Simon Says, that is a classic joint right there. And "Got You" had major playtime in the UK, and the video was almost constantly on MTV Base when it first came out.

Sad to see that only a chosen few knows about the lyrical genius that is Pharoahe Monch..
Maybe I will have to do a "Pharoahe - The essential tracks"-thread.. but then again only the people that is already familiar with Pharoahe would peep it..  :(
Title: Re:Will Pharao Monch really sign to Aftermath?
Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on January 20, 2003, 12:32:26 PM
Yeah thats the problem Jome, not many peeps on here wanna get into new stuff, and therefore they only look at the threads relating to their favourite artists. The only reason this thread has got more views than your average Pharoahe Monch thread is because it mentions him maybe signing to Aftermath.
