Aftermath Entertainment

He signed with Top Dog Entertainment in 2005 and co-founded the hip-hop supergroup Black Hippie.

His alternative rap debut album Section 80 led to a joint contract with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.

He rose to stardom with his gangster rap-influenced second album, Good Kid, Mad City, released in 2012, which became the longest-charting hip-hop studio album on the Billboard 200 and was named the greatest concept album of all time by Rolling Stone.

Let me emphasize that again.

Dr. Dre made the decision to leave Death Row.

And since he didn't want any conflicts, he agreed to leave with empty pockets and create his own label called Aftermath.

One particular story was recounted in the documentary The Death Row Chronicles.

Dre took those masters with him, and Suge was really pissed off.

Suge tried to intimidate the producer, but nothing came of it.

Suge Knight was angered by the success of Aftermath.

When Dre was at the height of what he was doing at Aftermath, he just really was so focused on, you know,

But later, another reason became known as to why Dre decided to leave.

The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album by the American rapper Eminem.

It was released through Aftermath Entertainment.

Web Entertainment Interscope Records on February 23, 1999.

The producer was Eminem, Dr. Dre, Bass Brothers, and Melman.

You know, any music business, any genre, you know, you gotta hit when you hot.

I want to play a little bit of a record from later on in your career, from the time when you were signed to Aftermath.

It's from a Jay-Z album, The Blueprint 2.

And I really thought you ripped this song up.

So during the time that you were recording with Dre, not a lot of music came out.

I have to say that at the time, I was not that surprised that not that much music came out.

Both because, A, of all the people signed to Aftermath, almost nobody was putting out music.

Yeah, bro.

It was hard.

And I, I can remember when I did that mixtape, I was signed to Aftermath, and, um, Dre was telling me, "Don't do mixtapes."

Okay, wait.

So this happened after Aftermath?

Yeah.

You Know What It Is, Volume 1?

All right.

So, so let me, let me figure this out then.

Dre's messy as hell story.

hell divorce from the allegations of violence to the psychiatrist who said he was so scared for his life that he had to wear a bulletproof vest finally we're gonna take a closer look at all the rappers who blame dre for destroying their careers it could be possible that dre's label aftermath records wiped out a whole generation of talent

they should be worried about the streets and saving lives and worrying about you know Dr.

Dre's secrets go way back to the early stages of his career.

really

need to hear that i can't relate

despite dre's reputation as being one of hip-hop's biggest star makers his label aftermath records is notorious for shelving artists while most fans credit dre for signing superstars and waiting like snoop eminem kendrick 50 cent anderson pack and the game the truth is that a lot of dre's label signees never get a chance to put out music.

Over the years, Trey and Aftermath have made splashy announcements for signing up incoming talent, only for those artists' careers to fizzle out.
