we'll see what happens but i'm genuinely trying to remember when was the last time a rapper with a good indie track actually benefited from being signed to a major like this

I'm not sure Shady knows what to do with these guys, hopefully this will be mostly for promo and distribution

Here is how this went down. Action is managed by Paul Rosenberg, who heard them making noise. He brought it to Em, which is really face of the label but Paul runs everything. They brought in this because Shady hasn't had a very good track record and needs new blood and a connection to this specific demographic. Will they sell units on Interscope? Hell no. But it's great press for them. Probably a decent 6 figure advance and in 2020 they'll be off the label.

yea sounds about right

they might push out an album or two that will have ill-advised crossover attempts and/or Buddens features, which will naturally brick. or they'll just languish without an album for a while and then get pissed and split

I'm sure its a good move for them $$$ wise, but I'm def skeptical that anything good will come out of this.

Does anyone know where you can get the FLYGOD album? I looked on Amazon, DatPiff, iTunes. No dice.

Thanks man!

I see this going the Slaughterhouse route

seems more like Royce's hand in this although Rosenberg probably been keeping an eye on them through Action etc.

These guys have a niche. Can they make a mainstream hit? Who knows but the promo will be good. Conway is dope and deserves that kind of a look.

i hope that they wont regret this , look how slaugterhouse ended

+ Yelawolf

They have been recording with Alchemist.

This will give them the opportunity to get out and tour, which is really all that matters.

Can't fuckin stand Westside Cumm Stain. He's 35 and dresses like the biggest fuckin clown fgt. And that annoying voice of his sounding like he's forever constipated and tryin to squeeze out a shit. What a joke.



^Sittin there slouchin like that gets ZERO respect. And look at that big ass head!!! Hahaha!!!!

Yelawolf ended up doing the Kid Rock thing and making more songs geared for the white people who like rock, country, and Americana shit. But Yela can rap circles around Kid Rock no question. I don't know if that pleased Shady and Interscope but it looks like he is still there.

Slaughterhouse, I can understand. I feel like they should take the Joe Budden route and just let Aarabmuzik and !llmind produce for them completely for one album before they possibly split if they haven't already.

+ Stat Quo
+ Obie Trice
+ Bobby Creekwater

It's like Aftermath Part 2.

haha @ this dude saying $1500 jacket lol

Wicked's obsession with how men dress and how that relates to their music is concerning. That said...is that a real pic? It looks like they photoshopped his head on. Is he a dwarf?

all these years and Em never gave a member of D12 a solo deal with his own label. not even Proof. factor that as you will.

conway the only one in that crew i dig. wonder which rapper did the heavy lifting as far as winning shady over.

And being a fat slob 40 year old that still doesn't know how to eat properly and stay in shape is better?

I haven't heard much from either of these guys. But really listened to that FLYGOD this weekend. Definitely a dope album.

what yall think of yela's album. i thought it sucked

I don't care how he dresses, I just don't get all the hype about WSG. That voice isn't tolerable, but I feel he has a very dope ear for beats. Conway I prefer much more, but you'd think they're the new Mobb Deep the way some of you are acting.

air rushes to fill a vacuum

people want somebody like these guys to exist, and in the long absence of Marci they looked like the next best thing

Of course they aren't as good as mobb deep and shit, but they do fill a void in that lane of rap pretty effectively.

Does anyone care about Yela anymore besides the type of people that would attend the Gathering of the Juggalos?

no, because shady killed him like it kills everyone.
