I did a video on artists getting dropped from their labels and it's pretty crazy Columbia dropped 50 Cent before Get Rich or Die Tryin', and Atlantic dropped Chappell Roan before she took off as well

It had me wondering, what's the biggest fumble we've ever seen from a label

Could be not signing an artist they knew they could sign - Drake in 2009 bars about Sylvia "That was your bad, how could you pass up on em"

Or letting an artist go to see them have huge success after the fact

who did I miss

Universal f***ing up I Can't Feel My Face

wilco

What did they do to it? Idk the lore

Hadji

Wilco f***s

Def Jam dropped lady gaga after 3 months then she dropped just dance, then made a diss track on def jam

LA reid said this was his biggest mistake ever

It wasn’t Juelz’s lean addiction and laziness?

@NoGoodNamesLeft

Could have just dropped the Original Carter 3 that summer/fall and then kicked off 2008 with I Can't Feel My Face. I would sacrifice A Milli, 3 Peat, Beat Build and the other few songs that matter from 2008 C3 for this lol

Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.5% is disgusting. I never heard someone blame Cam for this not dropping tho tbh that probably grinds his gears pretty bad

Imagine Kanye and 50 Sales Battle Happening that year just for Wayne to outsell both of them niggas on Halloween/Black Friday/Xmas

Def jam leadership change and they slashed Big KRIT budget on live from the underground so he couldn’t clear samples, and he had to rush to rebuild his whole major debut project

This was the big three in another timeline

Lmfaoo I thought you were talking about the weeknd song damn I remember listening to the leaked version of some wayne juelz song that was basically just this one spanish guitar all the time

lmfao
classic

“I thought it was The Weeknd song” this right here is what’s wrong with this site

idk if this counts because she was already successful, but..

virgin records paid mariah carey 28 million to end her contract after glitter flopped

she signed with def jam after that and dropped the emancipation of mimi

LMAO classic. I think I just had this on my ipod under the title "Can't Feel My Face" and assumed it was the title track or something

Lmao I'm familiar with both things being talked about. I think the range of music to be talked about might be one of the few right things about this website!

Everyone who passed on signing Bruno mars
