"Before I signed with the Doc, I almost signed with Duck Down
Cause Rawkus didn't make no offers, so mothafuck Loud
They jerked me around so what's up now?
Wow, how much of an asshole would I sound like
Rubbing it and holding some grudge now, but don't front "

What would of happened if Em signed with a gritty label like Duck Down or if Loud hadn't jerked him around and turned him into corporate Em

Hell what if Rawkus would of made an offer? Em went in on his Rawkus features

Just kind of makes you wonder what impact or lack their of he would of had without the Doc cosigning him

Thoughts

Real thoughts

The only thing i can see being affected by this would be album sales

His first 2 albums content wise were gonna be what they were regaddless imho.

Promotion would of been different so it could of hurt a bit plus dre wouldn't of produced soo that could of hurt some of the second album and what he added to sslp

i think his beats wouldve been better overall, a real hip hop label like duck down would probably discourage his corniness tho and just push him to display his skills in a more classic east coast way

i'd probably consider him top 3

but word i just think dre encouraged him to be a weirdo and gave him alot of mainstream friendly beats and packaged him to be what he was. if you peep infinite you can tell the type of shit he liked to make. there was still a weirdo track or two, but it was controlled weirdness know what i mean?

basically he wouldnt have made corny shit like "my name is" and the like

Ghost1 · 03-26-2014, 06:24 PM

Infinite was aincient tho

He had already flipped his style into what it was on sslp a bit before that album actually dropped (sslp)

Like his rawkus shit? Shits identical to.sslp

He just found his style

Or cages/redmans :/

But yea....

I still maintain those first two albums were gonna be out there regardless

whats his rawkus shit? i'm sure i've heard it i've heard just about all his old shit one way or another.

i think alot of the themes and shit would be the same, like he was gonna make if i had a million dollars, and shit like rock bottom no matter what. i actually like those beats too they are pretty much perfect songs

i just remember alot of corny shit but its been years since i really listened to either sslp or mmlp

i just remember last time i went back i only kept like 5 tracks off both lol

uh-oh · 03-26-2014, 06:31 PM

and word tho i mean his style of rapping is one thing, i liked it back then too and thought it was dope, i just ain't the biggest fan of the songs themselves, alot of that has to do with the beats tho and just the overall theme and shit, the hook etc

imagine if em was backed by premier instead, just dropping BARS from the get go, no corny hooks, just premier scratching, and BACK TO BARS

he'd be the undisputed greatest of all time

Ghost1 · 03-26-2014, 06:51 PM

Em turned down premo on his new shit

Smh

But yea.....that wouldve been crazy

uh-oh · 03-26-2014, 06:55 PM

yea he's lost cuz people still gas him

he's barry sanders if barry sanders after his first season just decided to try and run everyone over. its like wtf MAN. why don't you just make them miss again? you ran over the smallest corner in the league and your hype about it? no one cares man do what you do best arghghg

but then you got the fans hyping him anyways like HE'S BARRY SANDERS THO. YOU DON'T GET IT. HE'S RUNNING HARD.

Frank is not going to be pleased

Frank Metts · 03-26-2014, 09:30 PM

Nah this was open for criticism because i think he would of been a totally differnt artist. .. The fame may not of gotten to him like it did and he would of more raw but not more overall polished like he is now

Most don't like him polished
