Years ago (back in the early 90s) one of the top hip hop record labels were Death Row records,run by Suge Knight and Bad Boy records run by Sean P. Diddy Combs. If you wanted success as an artist in the music industry, Bad Boy records was the choice. But with success ,things tend to happen. The greatest rapper of all time who is sighned to your label dies in Los Angeles from a so called eastcoast/westcoast rap beef. Your next protege who has a debut album that sells 5 million records decides to leave your label after finding god. These Implecations of numerious events are sighns of the Bad Boy curse.
Its something about the label that just turns pontential stars to 1 hit and 1 album wonders. Artist like Loon,G Dep & Shyne have had legal problems that put their career in jeopardy. I'm not saying the label purposely sighns artist to help them get a degree as criminals. I'm just saying how ironic it is that you sighn to bad boy records and in the next 5 years your either behind bars facing murder or drug charges (G Dep,Black Rob,Loon). Once an artist leaves Bad Boy, their Career is never the same. Now thats like Whoa.
let's not mentions some of the fewer acts who are not in jail or serving time. Like Total or the all girl pop group Dream. What about the making the band cats or B5 (who) yes these acts are gone and forgotten.
