Artist who stuck out like a sore thumb on record labels!

[tharealest561]

Snoop on NL dropped two of his best post-Doggystyle albums though but I feel what you're saying.

 

[soulbrother]

Rakim on Aftermath...bad idea...sounded good on paper...

Mack 10 on Cash Money....real gangster signing with fake gangsters..lol

Busta Rhymes on Cash Money....no comment!

 

[Mr.LV]

Damn it someone already said busta rhymes on cash money lol.

 

[usmarin3]

lol forgot about Mack 10 on Cash Money, that's when they were signing a bunch of awkward people like Tina Marie, TQ, etc.

R&G and Blue Carpet beg to differ.

Wale on MMG

Conceited (the battle rapper) on SODMG

MOP on G Unit, and Rocafella for that matter

Speaking of Rocafella, they made some real awkward moves in the last phase of their tenure (signing ODB, one of the Spice Girls, I might be missing some)

 

[soul rattler]

Ymcmb is one big sore thumb and damn near all of them clash so that's a moot point.

Though he became the frontman for the label, Pac stuck out at Deathrow. Take him out of the equation and the Row loses alot of notoriety, mystique, and substance. Basically it would be a bunch of gang bangin and pimpin ass niggas.

 

[usmarin3]

Jin on Ruff Ryders. lmfao

SunNY on So So Def

 

[Ms. Sweeetface]

Jay Electronica on Roc Nation

 

[jono]

Mase on G-Unit is the most bizarre,

Snoop on NL was laughable, considering he's crew hopped half a dozen times since then shouldn't be a surprise.

Rakim had no business on Aftermath either, especially considering Rakim wasn't really relevant since the early 90s

Busta Rhymes on CMB or YMCMB which ever he is signed to is ridiculous.

 

[soul rattler]

Kanye on the old Roc-a-fella

Big Sean on G.O.O.D. music

 

[lamontbdc]

Mc Hammer on Deathrow

Daz and SoSo Def he was supposed to be the lead producer shit just seemed off.

 

[tharealest561]

NL Top Dogg n Tha Last Meal >> any Snoop album not named Doggystyle

MC Hammer takes the cake though, so random

Yo, I remember when that Flipmode album came out... dude had the most ungodly talented roster in hip hop at that time (Rah Digga, Lord Have Mercy, Baby Sham, Serious, not so much Spliff and Rampage, but they were dope too)... then he went from that to being a second string artist on Aftermath, then to a third string artist on Cash Money... what a shame, he could've been in Jay's shoes right now businesswise.

 

[H-Rap 180]

Wale, Stalley, Rockie Fresh, Teedra Moses & Omarion on MMG.

Mr Hudson on G.O.O.D Music

Money and Politics (relevance).

 

[lamontbdc]

Yea the Last Meal was that shit from Snoop. But it was more of a real west coast Snoop Battlecat laced that album. That 1st album Snoop dropped on No Limit was really forced.

 

[tharealest561]

Definitely, it was forced. He had some dope songs on there though, it's just not what people wanted or expected from Snoop.

I appreciate it for what it is.

 

[Lab Baby]

Nobody like No Limit Top Dogg? That album was dope to me.

 

[BackInWhite]

twista on rocafella

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

Spitta when he was on Young Money.

He was being held back, and decided to do his own thing.

Fast-forward to 2012; niggas are fuckin with the Jets, he has dropped several good mixtapes, and he finally crossed over into the mainstream without selling out or changing his style.
