    The problem with you saying that drake would’ve done better if Family matters came out after NLU is that’s just an impossibility. If you payed attention, the last verse of NLU couldn’t exist without Family Matters dropping. Part of NLU was created in as a direct response to family matters. He quite literally says in the latter part of the song, “the family matters and the truth of the matter it was Gods plan to show y’all the liar.”

    If you're signed to another rapper (larger than you), you're rarely not destined to be under their shadow. You're in a position where you could be perceived as the hype man and under their control and momentum because you gave them the keys to your own car. You don't need it in 2024, I'd steer away from signing to a rapper-owned label.

    Think it's more so what the Artist does on the feature that determines if they blow or not. If they're mid on the feature and don't surprise the audience then what was the point in the first place. Most of the new artist rely on the feature instead of showing there talent and what brought them to the table.

    In terms of pure commercial potential, nobody is really close to Opium. Carti is 10x bigger than Moneybagg Yo and that whole label in literally every aspect: followers, monthly listeners, dedicated fanbase, ability to sell merch, and so on...

    Pretty much. The record business operates like Fashion in a sense. Like how there are 3 fashion houses that own all the brands and everybody is under them... All record labels like Sony, Warner Brothers & UMG hold all the power. Then there's Labels like 300, Cash Money & so on who are subsidiaries of their parent companies... then artists start their labels! There's no benefit to that because its sooo much money being broken up soooo many ways. By the time it reaches the artist, it's meaningless damn near.
