    future sales:
    The GOOD ROC Foundation – both labels have a similar profile, which makes it very hard to decide who deserves the victory. Both labels have a handful of acts who can deliver big sales numbers, but I feel like Sion has one or two more, which gives him the edge in this category. His “lesser” names, as in those who might not sell millions, are likely to perform better commercially than their peers at FH&F, which secures the win here.

    future critical acclaim:
    Freak Hos & Flows – the amount of people on FH&F with classics or near classics already under the belt, or very likely to happen in the future, is simply overwhelming, and this goes for rappers, singers and producers.
    The GOOD ROC Foundation, on the other hand, has a few acts who haven’t really proven themselves yet, nor give a great reason to believe they could deliver critically acclaimed records for many years. This isn’t to say it’s impossible, but compared to Ibex’ roster, they simply cannot compete.

    longevity:
    Freak Hos & Flows – on top of already being critically acclaimed, a big part of Ibex’ roster is relatively young, which gives a promise of many years active in the industry. These two combined, age and acclaim, is almost a guaranty of longevity.
    ROOD ROC suffers a little under their younger acts not having proved themselves in the same manner as the counterparts. While Sions household names can go blow for blow with Ibex’, the younger division of his label costs him the win in this category.

    cohesion:
    Tie – as mentioned early, the labels seem to have a similar profile, with a good mix veterans and up-and-comers. Both have made sub-labels for the up-and-comers, sub-labels that are quite realistic. Given the similar profiles, this category is a tie.

    album covers/tracklist:
    The GOOD ROC Foundation – both players came through with some high quality work here. Their covers are fantastic, and it seems like they put in almost as much work on their tracklists. The reason I’m giving this category to Sion is, his low points aren’t as low as Ibex’. All of his covers maintain a high standard, where some of Ibex’ stuff doesn’t hold up, although this says more about how great Sions work is. Ibex’ greatest work can easily stand next to Sions. I also feel like Sion got a little more creative with collaboration projects than Ibex did.

    Vote goes to: Ibex
    The scoreboard says 2-2 because of one tied category, and deciding who should be the overall winner of the match up was very difficult. I was inclined to use covers as a tiebreaker, and give my vote to Sion, but reading the OP, it says, “The goal of the game is to make the best label possible”, and looking over the rosters, I feel like Ibex did this. His label has, in my opinion, a better long term profile, and if only one of the labels could exist for a long time, I believe it would be Freak Hos & Flows.

    I think both Sion and Ibex are two players who have not burned any bridges or made any enemies throughout this game so it would not hurt to let yall vote. I think they both on good terms with everyone who played and i dont think anybody would try to ? em over.

    i go for the GOOD ROC FOUNDATION

    COMMERCIALLY they have the worldwide biggest potential. you know as soon as JAY or YE or SNOOP or BLACK THOUGH cosign you ...

    HIPHOP WISE i like @Sion thing cause he BRIDGES the GAP. under the guidance of thes vets, artists and producers, the youngins cannot fail. Plus the album are very plausible.

    in addition to longevity ,this production POWERHOUSE has the EFFICIENCE. with that roster you cannot have a slow year . i see more awards nominations

    other point, the side deals and ventures that theses artists will provide to @Sion are stratospheric imo. Movie , restaurant chains, clothes lines, clothes...

    future sales:
    Both labels have some star power here but Sion seems to have the leg up here. Even some of his acts which aren't huge stars will do better commercially. Vote :The GOOD ROC Foundation

    future critical acclaim:
    Sion has a nice crop of artists who commercially will flourish a great deal and a lot of his acts have proven records of classic records but Ibex across the board has universally acclaimed artists. Almost as if his label was solely built to win this particular category. It makes up for not having a commercially driven label. Vote: Freak Hos & Flows

    longevity:
    Outside of Rihanna, Sion's roster is more the "In the Now" label. His acts got a virtual death grip on the industry at the moment with no letting up in sight. That hurts his label in a sense since his younger acts (outside of Frank Ocean) aren't as musically compelling as Ibex's younger acts. Ibex's star power plus the talented batch of young artists make him more versatile in this category. He has some acts that can stand on their own against Sion's top acts but his younger section have more lasting power. Vote : Freak Hos & Flows

    cohesion:
    These rosters got that 6 degree of separation going on and considering I know how to weave up a roster seemingly of folks who you wouldnt think coexist under one umbrella. IMO I think Ibex's label seems more unified in comparison. There's a few acts on Sion's roster that dont fit. Ahem : Macklemore I'm looking your way pause. Vote : Freak Hos & Flows

    album covers/tracklist:
    Initially I was gonna say "I dont have to think too hard bout this one. No brainer IMO." but I feel the need to explain. And to be brief: Sion was just more creative here. I know he has an advantage with the covers which led me straight to the tracklists. Some of Ibex's projects are cool ideas that I think weren't executed as best as they could considering the rosters. If you take that and look at the covers as well it makes for a dry experience. There was a bit more of a creative intent with Sion when it came to the tracklists and titles. Vote : The GOOD ROC Foundation


    @Sion my bro in arms but I think Ibex might have edged you out here. This game is about "The best possible label created" and if i'm keeping it real thats what @Ibex did.

    Future Sales Winner: GOOD ROC
    I had this going to FH&F but after taking away both labels heavy hitters, I just can't see anyone outselling Big Sean, Push or Rihanna who are each gonna do respectable numbers. It was really close but that edged it for me slightly.

    Future Critical Acclaim Winner: FH&F
    Everything coming from Sion roster is gonna be dope but when I look at classic potential I just see more on FH&F as his best artist should only get better. Lauryn Hill is gonna put out some ? with the people he has put behind her.

    Longevity Winner: FH&F
    Another hard category, but with FH&F roster being younger and actually talented I had to give the edge here as I can see them having a GOAT run possibly while GOOD ROC has less of a ceiling as they have reached it for the most part.

    Cohesion Winner: GOOD ROC
    While I give it up to FH&F for having a cohesive label, GOOD ROC is just too strong filled with acts that we all know have done work together and the ones that haven't it is very easy to see. While trying to vision The Roots and Mackelmore together was hard , it was just more difficult trying to piece together Freddie Gibbs with a Beyonce or Miguel.

    Covers/Tracklist Winner:Tie
    This is suppose to be GOOD ROC guaranteed win category but I think with the covers being so dope he may have gotten lazy with the tracklist and since they aren't weighed any differently and FH&H had just enough dope covers to make it even for me. SchoolBoy Q and Ab-Soul's saved you lol.

    So to pick a winner, I will go with FH&F mainly because his label was more original in how it was put together and there are projects as a fan of music I would just be ready to hear. GOOD ROC is a juggernaut that if was real would be on some Def Jam ? back in the day, but feels more like a merger of real life labels rather than created and this Create Your Own Label. @Sion @Ibex Salute to both of you for real, this match up really ended up being a damn near coin toss based on these categories which makes this game so dope and I hope to see it continue.
