Sales: Greenwood got this easily. Outside of EM, not too many units will be moved on Yung$, 50 could go Gold tho.
Greenwood has Watch The Throne 2, which is going plat within acouple weeks. It'll take about 3 weeks for Frank Ocean to go Gold and Ross goes Gold on every album.
Winner: Greenwood
Longevity:
Greenwood got this one easily too. Damn near everybody on Yung$ is over 40, while most of the artists on Greenwood are relatively young.
Winner: Greenwood
Album Covers: The covers for Fat Joe and Gunit are atrocious, my lil nephew can make a cover better than that and he's only 3 months old b. I do fuck with the Em and Joe/Banks album covers tho, I can see them using them covers in rl.
While normally covers are Iceberg's specialty, there's a couple of these I didn't really fuck with. I don't see Ross ever using a cover like that, the Frank Ocean cover was cool , but I'm not really feeling that one either. They're not wack, I just don't see them using those. With that said, the cover's for Chance and Mos were dope and definitely fit their personality.
Winner: I give the edge to Greenwood.
Tracklists:
Smh, I really wanted to give this one to Yung$ because he had some dope collabs that I would pay for to hear, but the attention to detail Greewood has can't go unnoticed. He had a specific producer for every track to compliment the artists who are on the track.
Winner: Greenwood
Critical Acclaim:
Again, Greenwood got it. Every album Frank Ocean drops gets critical acclaim. Kanye? You already know he's gonna get 1000 awards. Chance's last album was one of the highest rated albums of year.
Winner: Greenwood
Yung$ has a pretty good roster, I just think he should've mixed in a few younger artists to balance it out. TBH as a hiphop fan, I would wanna listen to the albums dropped from Yung$ before the albums dropped on Greenwood, but when you're creating a label is less about who you like and more about the business aspect of it and Greenwood mastered that. Good job by both.
