Dope. Looking forward to another shelved aftermath album!
-
I hear they're releasing the album as a double package special edition, one disc Kendrick, second disc black hippy and a third bonus disc of tracks from detox sessions to build dre's buzz. That's the rumour anyway.
-
Greatest announcement in a long, LONG, time!
IF it indeed comes to full fruition & materializes in the releasing of actual records & full length albums!
Not in years of artistic growth & creativity being wasted with frustration from achieving nothing as was the case with the Hittmans & Bishops...
-
that's sad news :( so now interscope is gonna steal the best music from the west coast from us, as if they haven't ruined music enough!

"Are you serious bro?"

That's good news! I know Top Dawg did they're biz right... including a clause which includes HAVING to put out the album....we've already learned too much from __________ (<insert aftermath artist>)

yeah but do you really think TDE is having power over aftermath? I mean I really hope Kendrick and TDE stayed reasonable in this story but we should at least fear the possibility that - again - just the pay check was relevant in the end and that the conditions of the contract do not give the artists enough power to drop their shit the way they want to. Because if you ask me I don't ever wanna hear a Kendrick or Black Hippy album with features from Rihanna, Eminem, Skylar Grey, Lil Wayne and them...
-
The good point is WE KNOW that TDE don't NEED Dre desperately to handle ALL the production to come out with TOP-QUALITY products! They can do it by themselves & let Dre do a couple of tracks to give the final product that "Aftermath" label.
Now one guy who miay very well suffer from that is Slim The Mobster... He might very well be the next in line in the long list of "drop-outs"!

luv 2 c u shelved
-
this wont be coming out ;D
-
this will be good as long as we get to hear the music. I dont doubt that the Kendrick project will drop, but Im skeptical about the others.
-
Terrible move
-
we might get a mixtape out of this
-
look out candy rappers u bout to get chewed the fuck up
-
Lmao these responses are gut-punches. I wish Dre would read this, maybe thatd be the slap upside the head he needs
-
TDE signed a deal where some of the artists will be released via interscope/tde with Kendrick (aftermath will be involved in kendrick's only) / Jay Rock / schoolboy q / ab-soul. Black Hippy is signed to TDE but they are not currently part of the deal. It's more about financial backing for TDE to take their artist to the next level. Hopefully, they retained the final say on what makes the album artistically.
so it's not right to say kendrick / black hippy signed. no TDE the label did a deal. and those artists are part of that label and have been organized according to their personal needs.
-
the less tight the deal is, more chance something may come out of it. but he's working/been working with dre too? not always the best sign music will come out :laugh:
-
TDE signed to aftermath/interscope.
That means the whole roster is signed so they can release a black hippy album or solo albums from each member.
I'm guessing jay rocks will be a joint venture since he's signed to strange as well.
-

Haha seriously.. but his response will be...
''Y'all be the reason that dre aint been gettin no sleep, so fuck y'all !! All of y'all. If y'all dont like me, blow me.'' ;D
But on a serious note, good for them ! I hope they get to release their projects without too much struggle.
-
looks like slim pickins
-
:-\ they better not mess up his releases

"TDE signed a joint venture with Aftermath and Interscope. Not Kendrick Jay Rock AB-Soul and Schoolboy Q. They are signed to TDE."
"Black Hippy the group is signed to TDE. They are not involved in the deal. I have the freedom to put em out thru any company I want or indy"
-
So he can put them out under interscope.
It's a distribution deal but the artists aren't obligated to interscope.
-
This nigga top dawg needs to get up and coming label CEO of the year. This nigga is smart as fuck! He still has full control of black hippy even tho TDE he has a deal with aftermath/ intercope. So basically he using the aftermath/ intercope name to push his own label. This nigga is smart as fuck!.. he has full control of his artists, so aftermath/ intercope can't put them on the shelf. its just a distribution deal, but he still gets to use the aftermath/ intercope name :o wow this nigga is a genius... rappers need to learn from this brother top dawg.
-
Nothing negative to say. I hope we get to see some Dre-produced Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar albums but I ain't getting swallowed by the hype on this one.
-
I think Kendrick and them can put Aftermath back on the road again like emineme did! Aftermath nowadays is not a big label no more compared to Ycmb . They need young and fresh cats who can talk to the new listeners so Kendrick is the best out of the west who can do it big . i think it's the best for the both parts. Because TDE sign as a team. they can back each other . the previous rappers who were sign was all alone aganst Iovine and Dre.
-
Looks like Top Dawg's done some smart business with this, looking forward to their new music. Ab Soul or Kendrick up first?
-
not exciting

There's some logic to that. Aftermath's weakness was never the music. It was marketing and promotion and by bringing on esentially a whole label and basically actig as a distribution unit for them, it could be a good move. It's still a little too early to decide but this seems like a promising prospect.

you niggas don't get it. TDE already got mad hype on their own. this deal is just to get them on the main stage.. these niggas already ink a deal with strange music for jay rock which is the biggest underground rap label. now their link to dre who is a legend in this game.. thats major label push right there.. add the king of the underground strange music with dr dre and we're taking about some big shit ...y'all niggas don't even see what this nigga top dawg is trying to do. he's not signing any of his artists to exclusive deals with any labels. this nigga is retaining full rights to his artists that way TDE can become a big label like aftermath in a few years. like i said this nigga top dawg is a fucking genius y'all west coast niggas better start sending your demos to that nigga because he gone get you the right deal. once 50 saidd he respected them niggas grind you know these niggas knew what the fuck they were doing. 50 don't really gave any and anybody props. you gotta be on your shit for 50 to even mention you. nipsey need to holla at this nigga top dawg

TDE don't have a deal with Strange Music, that's just Jay Rock solo

50 is not a factor today, have you heard his last single? Thought so...
What you say was true like 2005.

Dre:
"Ok, here's the plan guys, I'll sign you while you're hot and I'll be excited to work with you
for like a week or so, before I hear something else that is hot, then you'll just work on your own
in the studio for like 3-4 years, never releasing anything and losing your buzz, until one day
I accidentally walk into the wrong studio and find you guys there and I'm like, oh yeah,
you no-buzz-having-anymore guys, y'all can leave now...
Make way for my new signings, Yung Snuffleuffagus, Lil Skiffleball, etc."

LMAO - precise ;D
Like others said - I'm not excited.
-
Well I guess Kendrick is fucked :laugh:
-
ok, now that this guy twittered that's it's just a label deal between TDE and Aftermath I'm a bit calmed down. That's good then. Cause Kendrick and them need to drop their shit soon, they're in a dope phase of their careers and you'll nver know how it's gonna look in two years. I mean history proved it many times already. So yeah, drop the shit this year and it's gonna be epic!
-
Kendrick Lamar = TDE/Aftermath/Interscope
Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock = TDE/Interscope
Slim the Mobster = Shelved indefinitely

Topic: Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy
Sign shelved on Aftermath/Interscope! (Read 1269 times)
Fixed.

Funny how every artist is making the same mistake by signing with Dre ... it's even worse now since Dre focus has totally shift to the Beats by Dre stuff
-
looks like most people didn't read what it's about: "TDE signed a joint venture with Aftermath and Interscope. Not Kendrick Jay Rock AB-Soul and Schoolboy Q. They are signed to TDE."
