WITHOUT KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOW..
IMA GO WITH DEF JAM.. -
Yeah def jam they put damn near everyone out at that time if you were dope
-
whichever one is offering tha best deal
-
No Limit
Bigger cut off the sales...
Serv-on said he was getting more off an album than Method Man in an interview.
Said Big Boi was shocked to see how big his house and all he had when he was staying in the country club in Louisiana...
P gave them dudes a big cut off their sales.
Serv-on said P got them a house and gave them their choice a car...plus the masters and a cut of the sales
I respect that and P always said "? the Fame, I want the Money"
15% can't even pay my rent Lol.. -
Def Jam or Rocafella, both labels treat their artists very well. No Limit would be a close third, based on the high praise Snoop gave Master P

death row
better chance to make the best music....had access to dre and daz for beats, could collab with kurupt, nate dogg, crooked I, and pac -

Yeah but Bad Boy might have offered the best deal but you see what happened to everybody that signed with them.
I'd go with Def Jam or maybe Loud.
Loud had Raekwon, Big Pun, The Alcoholiks, Mobb Deep, Three Six Mafia, Inspectah Deck, M.O.P, Xzibit, Three Six Mafia and Project Pat. Thats not a bad line up. I'm pretty sure most of those acts went gold or platinum without having to do a sellout song with a girl singing the chorus. -
Def Jam
Had a dope video featuring Redman directed by Hype Williams -
Deathrow
Between me, a young dre, snoop,pac, and suge other rappers wouldnt have been able to eat. Anybody who picked roc-a-fella wouldve got dropped from the label as soon as jayz started dating beyonce and got the memphis bleek beanie sigel treatment
Straight Like That -
Deathrow ...
So i can get smacked up by Suge, and cheated out my money. -

No Limit as long as I don't have to wear P. Miller Clothing or shoes

Deathrow

Out of that list in the OP probably Loud. I haven't heard anything bad about them over the years, unless there's some ? I don't know.
I'd want a label about good business. I don't wanna have to worry about street ? and janky contracts just to go to work. -
T/S should have posted Rap-A-Lot Records too, J.Prince made sure his artists were taken care of and never made you put out music that YOU didn't feel comfortable doing. He was also willing to help show you the ropes on the business side so you could own your own.
It'd easily have to be No Limit Records or Rap-A-Lot Records for me. Scarface, Devin the Dude, UGK, and for a lil while J.Prince even helped Gang Starr get on and was the dude who got DJ Premier to join the group (I bet ? aint eem know Premo was from the south). They had a legendary roster and Prince looked after his ? . All of my albums would have been classics.
Its hilarious to hear east coast dudes talking ? about the south and not even know one of their best producers is from houston
