DarthRozay

Yo I'm sayin Sion all the way. I might be ? and almost called him Saigon, but that just boosts his realness factor.

This ? ? has an album cover that's a gif.. Good ?

First and foremost, we have to acknowledge the OLYMPIAN , CT FLETCHER LIKE EFFORT made on the covers that match the titles. We can all feel the Pain and Dedication of the wise @sion for his label.
And once again , his florilege of producers is a proof of consistenency, sustainability and originylity. @sion is what hiphop needs : the will of creating , dearing and advancing.

future sales: Sion
future critical acclaim:Sion
longevity:Sion
album covers/tracklist:Sion
roster/tracklist cohesion:Sion
overall:Sion. Just give the champ his title
Im voting Sion. He has a mobb deep album on his label. Whats else is there to say

VIBE

future sales: @Sion has the heavyweights; Em, Dre & 50 who all would sell big #'s. Jay Electronica would do really well and so would Timbaland. Only ones I see selling big for @TonyDubbz would be Jay Z and Rihanna. But nothing compared to Sions line up of #'s.

future critical acclaim: TonyDubbz. Sion has a line-up with less of a "future".

longevity:TonyDubbz. He has the younger roster, all whom can still sell at a decent rate to keep the label alive. With Sions guys' nearing their end, I don't see Sions guys having that much longevity.

album covers/tracklist: Sion, easily.

roster/tracklist cohesion:

can't lie, both are good rosters for different reasons. Sion has the hip hop lineup, the guys who will sell well as always. Dubbz has a bit of a younger roster, so they have the longevity. So what's better? The roster for the long run or the roster who can sell big for now? I'll have to go with Dubbz. It's more promising.

Track list cohesion would go for Sion.

overall: I want to be bias and pick Sion due to an awesome label that is hip hop oriented. The hip hop heavyweight label is a lot more appealing but they're all old and none of them are really in their prime. Exception would be Jay Elec.

They're nearing the point where a full feature album from them isn't necessary anymore.

Dubbz has Songz, Krit, RiRi, Miguel - all young and hot artists who will have the longevity.

Do I vote for what I want? Or vote for what will be better business wise?

I'm gonna assume business. @TonyDubbz wins.

someone explain this thread to me.

Business is about longevity. Enough with the 100 meters dash label Toney Dubbz 'z.

Future sales : @sion. No need to expand here by naming the monsters of his label. Just adding the key fact of very long term sales and in extenso lots of royalties. Royalties are the vitamins of a great label and what distinguish Def Jam with No Limit.

Future sales : @sion cause he got artists that will transmitt their flames through sub labels controled by @sion 's to young succesfull artists. Again, the remasterings , the remix will bring again lots of royalty cash.
Rihanna doesnt have that hability. Dre brought Eminem, helped K. Lamar. What about Jay - z?

Longevity : the two aformentioned criterias give an overwhelming advantage to @sion.

Album cover / tracklist : @sion . Though i respect the passion and work for @tonydubbz. But deep inside him he knows that sion has acomplished a great , great work.

Roster / tracklist cohesion : @sion

people look at all the combinations. Ok its for the better or worse, but one flash of creativity will blind and inspire @tonydubbz ' roster for a decade.

Thats brings us to

Overall : @sion roster of artists/producers/sub label owner will surely give the pace to the industry. Indirectly they will force @toneydubbz 's roster to slightly copy them because of their names , impact to the game, classics .
Creativity is the oil of talent. @sion has made the choice of tanking with that.

Toneydubbz label is Lob city. Sion ' s is San antonio spurs aka everlasting quality , not always first but always top 5.

Krit s flame is commercially gone. Dre Em are immortal.

I go for creativity and sustainable big business.
I go for the wise sion

Thanks for participating bruh

@evilchuck this is basically a hip hop fantasy league that was thought up by @Governmentcheese. At the start of the competition there were many more labels and we were all given a budget and chance to bid/buy artist for our labels. @Sion and myself are currently the last two labels standing and if you'd like to participate all you have to do is vote on which label you think is the best by going to the first page of this thread and looking at the first two post.

Take into consideration the artist who are signed to each label and really pay attention to these things if you do decide to participate:

Future sales - Which label do you think would go on to sell more in the future album wise

Future Critical Acclaim - Basically whos label has more to offer in the future, whos artist do you see still doing this ? for years to come.

Longevity - Whos label do you think will be around longer?

Album covers/tracklist: Who has the best album covers?

Roster/tracklist cohesion: Look at both our rosters. Whos artist actually go well together? Also take the time to skim through our album tracklist, do the song titles & producers look like somethin the artist would actually use? or does it just look like it was thrown together with no thought?

Overall - YOUR OVERALL VOTE, WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD WIN.

GovernmentCheese

1-1 tied up. Community vote, best of 3!

@evilchuck It's a game where players have to make their own music label. Players built up their rosters from bidding wars they participated in at the beginning of the game. Posters and judges judges the labels based on cohesion, future sales, album covers/artwork etc. (The info on that is in the OP)

This thread is the last round of the tournament, the winner will be considered the best label.

Shout out to @governmentcheese @sion and @tonydubbz for this final !!!
