Forgotten Aftermath Artists.....

[Sccit]

I dont know what's more death to an artist: signing to Aftermath or Bad Boy.

8Ball & MJG signed to Bad Boy and went plat', and then bounced. that's pretty nice.

i think they went gold with their bad boy debut..

RBX, King-T, Rakim, Raekwon, Last Emperor were the best in terms of rappers....but all of em were/are established rappers. This thread was moreso bout the artists from aftermath who never really were established.... the forgotton ones. Hittman and Bishop Lamont aren't exactly forgotten...werent established either, tho. lets not forget, Ice Cube was supposed to drop an album on aftermath at one point, as well.

I don't think we can call Last Emporer and "established" artist.   ....I mean how underground do you have to get?   If you want someone almost completly obscure and mysterious who has hardly any known tracklist, Id nominate some of the cats off the first Aftermath release in 96'....

...Like how about Nationowl!   His cut off the album was fuckin sick!!  It was dark, and melancholy and smooth as fuck!    There was also a fun theory here at the forum that dude was the same person as Hittman... LOL.. there voices do sound the same though

Last Emperor has albums out and a solid fanbase...none of the other cats do.


Nowl was dope, though...was he ever officially signed with Aftermath?

[Sikotic™]

that's one, name anotha one. 

puffy never signed and dropped cats at dre's rate.....lota artists went platinum on bad boy. Puffy, Biggie, Da Band, Faith Evans, Total, 112, Mase, Lox, Black Rob, Carl Thomas, Shyne, Dream, Yung Joc, Cassie, Dannity Kane.....and thats not even counting all the gold certifications.

True, at least Puff got his money's worth outta them. Then they all became irrelevant or died lol.

I think the Rakim thing was more a Jimmy Iovine thing & less of a Dr. Dre thing as far as it not working out. On Dre's part he like people that give it 110% and from what I read/heard Rakim wasn't all that motivated to come in & work, moody, want open to trying new ideas (like writing hooks, writing about differnt ideas, ect.) and I heard the beats DJ Primere was comin up with weren't up to Dre's standards. With Jimmy I think if he feels it ain't gonna make a bunch of green, he ain't fuckin with it.

Whoever decided not to release that musta been trippin bad, cuz the hype for that album was unlike anything ive ever seen..

Judging by the final product, it was good Aftermath didn't put it out. It seems like Rah didn't want to put in the work creating a great album and just wanted to half ass it....which he did with 7th Seal.
