Drake doesnt run ovo. The only artist he signed is baka
Who signed Party, MJ etc.?
I remember Drake saying in an interview way back that he didn’t want to sign a rapper to OVO, because he was so focused on being the best. Which was a big mistake imo, Drake could’ve had the same influence on rap artist like Wayne did with him and Nicki when his “stimulus” was going strong.
Every artist on XO owns his masters,cant say that about all these other labels
Theyre not worth much tbh
How is OVO a failure? PND has had a super successful career, dvsn, Majid Jordan and Roy Woods are all doing fine, Popcaan is working hard & they just signed Smiley who is one of the hottest out there rn. OVO gives proper support and visibility to its artists but in the end it's their job to shine. There's a reason why their artists won't leave the label, they are happy at OVO
smiley???????

I just feel like it could be way bigger and it would surprise me if the people at OVO didn’t want that
NAV only have beibs in the trap verse to count
Belly, 88glam some mid so yeah
Comparatively
OVO has dvsn, Majid, Party releasing some good records
iirc NAV produced Drake's "Back to Back"

Boi1da found party and oliver signed him with drakes blessing. 40 found Majid Jordans first mixtape (Good People - Afterhours) on soundcloud and signed them

Literally could copy paste this with XO and it wont make a difference.
Drake stans bored so they try to run agendas
Lol
wym “lol” that’s literally how the music industry works 
These man signed to XO not Lyor Cohen who put multiple acts including Young Thug in a 360.

1-2 and 6-7 are common practice, the rest aren’t.
Nav the only notable artist besides the weeknd
Thats 50% of the roster lol they're a small label
XO manages Young Thug and Doja Cat
plus Metro and Wheezy
Their management more impressive than the label
Thats 50% of the roster lol they're a small label
What’s the point of having a label then if ur only gonna sign 2 artists
Atlas got some dope music

Give your friends a platform,masters and invest in their videos and promo,why not
Belly just dropped a great album with like 4 fire singles that have generated a lil buzz,NAV is goat,Abel is Abel and Black Atlass is a small act lol
how could a label with NAV be a failure?
This is like asking “how could a label with kendrick lamar be a failure”
Most labels wish they could have a artist as big as NAV so saying XO is a failure is hilarious

Is belly xo or roc nation
Atlas got some dope music
this version is just GODLY, Black Atlass is super underrated but it doesn't takes from his superb talent, i hate when people trying to make an argument that some artist are not good just because they don't have commercial success, this is such a smooth brain logic
commercial success ≠ good music
