    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

    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.

    XO manages Young Thug and Doja Cat

    plus Metro and Wheezy

    Their management more impressive than the label

    Most labels wish they could have a artist as big as NAV so saying XO is a failure is hilarious

    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
