Why can't they sign on Yuk or E-40 or something like that. Instead they Got Kanye West and some other average rappers on their label. Surely if you have a fat bankroll, any average rapper will end up making a few mil but damn. If Yukmouth was signed on to Rocafella, Dame would see QUITE A FEW MILL on that! Ya know what i mean? If San Quinn or Too $hort or someone who actuallly have skillz and game on the mic had a large corp to promote them, money will be make in a major way, think about it. shit
-
not neccasarily, its all about image, yuk n 40 dont fit the roc image. plus kanye has got skill you cant deny that.
-
Yes Yuk and 40 do, are you kidding me?
-
yeah you are probably right .....but its their business.... 8)
-
True, it's their business damn right, but I'm just saying, what if... What if.

Kanye don't fit the Roc image, he says it himself. How does Yuk not fit? Raps about Ice, Bitches, Cars and slangin' yay.
But, ROC don't give a fuck about a West Coast, only Rick Rock.
-
yeh kanye is dope on da mic.....nobodys gonna make me change my mind....rick rock is westcoast.....i never knew dat....kool......CHUUUCH!!!!! 8)
-
Because they are an east coast label, who only sign people that fit into the New York type of sound. I know Kanye is from Chicago, and Sigel and Freeway are from Philadelphia, but they fit into the ROC sound type. There is no need for Rocafella to sign any west coast artists.
If you want to big label to put a push behind some west coast artists I suggest you look closer to home.

YUK AND 40 ISS OLD NICCASS THEY ALREADY HIT THEY TOP OF THEY GAME IN 95.ROC-A-FELLA ISS ALL ABOUT WHATS HOT AND NEW CUZZ. YUK AINT SSHIT COMPARE TO ANYONE OVER THERE. 40 GOT SKILLSS

what if? if they made it to the roc, they'd be garbage. they'd be the biggest thing in the world today and then be the lowliest pieces of shit out there tomorrow. that's what happens to big label artists, except for a select few. there are maybe 10 or 20 big label artists that are still respected no matter what happens - the rest are doomed to ja rule status or p. diddy status.

How can Bad Boy be so ignorant?
How can Death Row be so ignorant?
How can Aftermath be so ignorant?
Everybody's ignorant in your case, but Smoke-A-Lot. I don't get your point why they should be signed by Roc-A-Fella.
-
They wouldn't fit in. Rocafella stands for a certain style in post-millenium NY rap, there might be exceptions, but Yuk on the ROC....hell naw. He'd have to change his style and he'd prolly fall off badly. Same for E-40
-
i wouldnt like to see any WC artists on an eastcoast label look @ Jayo & Warren
-

i think warren and jay did pretty well on def jam
-
wanst richie rich on def jam too. that was a prety werid hook up./
-
IMO Yuk would fit in nicely with the Roc. He'd then automatically be their best emcee behind only Kanye[maybe].
-
Roc should sign Clicc Gang...them niggas hard.
-
the roc is far from ignorant. they in the process of signin twista. talk about skillz. Kamikaze is a dime piece. and kanye is SICK on the beats and real dope on the mic. other than that though i dont like tha roc. theyre the only two.
-
simple.......east coast labels dunno how to market west coast artists.......
Locksmith could've done some numbers for Def Jam.......but they didn't pick him cuzz they dunno how 2 market him.......they really don't want to either......and there's no secrets man, we all kno tha west vs east shit is over and everyone is 'networkin' now......but cmon, do u really think tha rivarly is gone? is it all good alice in wonderland? hell naw.....if u in da streets or tha industry, u would kno wassup.....

This is a good thread to be brought up....I was listening to Memph Bleek's new album the other week and I came to realize.....dude sounds like Yukmouth a lot if you think about it. Yukmouth could easily be on ROC, infact I think he's the easiest choice if someone were to pick a Westcoast dude for the ROC.
For the record, Kanye SUCKS at rapping, good beats but he needs to stick to that. "Light skin girl look like Michael Jackson saw a black skin girl look like Michael Jackson" c'mon now Adidas, you don't think Yuk is better than that? I think Yuk will tear EVERYONE from the ROC to pieces except Jay and maybe Beans, that's on me. Young Gunz suck, Camron sucks, Freeway REALLY sucks, Dip Set sucks, ODB sucks now, their roster looks great on paper but on record it sounds like garbage.
Oh, and u said Yuk and 40 are old....but Yuk is prolly younger than most peeps on the ROC or right about the same age as most. He's 28. You got heads like MOP over there who are prolly closer to 40 than 30 with an album coming out, plus ODB is prolly close to 40 too. Age is not an issue with this.
-
yukmouth raps iss old, nobody talking about doing weed getting lifted and being faded 24/7 u know kanya raps for the comunity and bleek and beans, even killa camron.u go assk every rap cat in the world to chose a album by yuk or a roc mc and yuk come out at 30%,facts u do da math...

that line by Kanye is fuckin hilarious in the context of the song, but i agree that their roster is weak, with the exception of State Property. Dipset is beyond aweful; they should be banished from the rap game until they learn how 2 rap
however, the ROC has enough problems with the Bay with the Memphis Bleek/JT beef. to be honest, even if that wasn't an issue, I don't think the Bay would WANT to fuck with the ROC
-
if yuk was with Roc, Rocafella would be the biggest label in the world. BEEEEOUCH
