    I would have to say Cash Money, but that doesn't mean they've had the better talent. I think Bad Boy or Death Row had the best talent.

    how is bad boy defunct?

    anyway in their prime deathrow was the most dominate between 92-96. Bad Boy has longevity, and No Limit was hot for like a year and half in the late 90's. No Limit didn't blow up on a nationwide scale until late 97 and they ran until 99. Cash Money is doing alright with Wayne.

    I agree that Death Row had the most powerful impact out of all of those labels, such a shame that Suge ruined it all.

    For longevity, definitely Cash Money, even though I haven't been a fan since the Hot Boys days.

    Cash Money is dominating during a drought.

    Their success is second tier compared to Death Row, Bad Boy & Roc A Fella

    Young Money and Cash Money are two different things... Young Money is Drake, Tyga, Nicki and Lil Twist etc..... Cash Money is B.G., Turk, Juvenile and Mannie Fresh etc... Sure Lil Wayne and Birdman still there but if you don't see the difference ur just a stan

    bro, i miss the hot boys days too

    BG, Turk, Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and them are GONE

    you can't even say that they are Cash Money because there was a Cash Money before them
    you not mentioning ? Daddy, UNLV, Ms. Tee, The BG'z, etc., etc.
    YMCMB is 2012 Cash Money, like it or not

    Young Money is a division under Cash Money. Every release under Young Money is an imprint of Cash Money Records. Stop the madness.

    yes, he did
    there's no disputing that and i'm not trying to

    dmx is a junkie ? ass ? only good for his interviews
    his record label is a defunct roach motel
    how can your run be better than a ? 's run that's still going?
    as much as i hate lil wayne dude is still writing history while dmx's book is pretty much done

    To put it in perspective...

    Cash Money has had 7 Platinum-selling artists (Juvi, Nicki, Drake, B.G., Big Tymers, Wayne, Hot Boys) and 2 dominating runs: 1998-2002 (4), 2006-current (6+)

    Bad Boy = Biggie, Mase, Faith, Diddy, Total, 112, Dream, Black Rob, Cassie, Danity Kane, LOX
    Run: 1994 to eh... I'll be nice and say 2001ish (7)

    Death Row = Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Tupac, Tupac
    1992-1996 (4)

    Roc-A-Fella = Jay, Kanye, Beanie, Cam'ron, Diplomats, DJ Clue, Juelz
    1997-2004 (7) ... I'd say that's around when they stopped being a hot label and just became Jay & Kanye

    Ruff Ryders = DMX, Jadakiss, Styles, Eve, LOX
    1998-2004 (6)

    G-Unit = 50, Banks, Buck, Game
    2002-2006 (4)

    No Limit = Master P, Snoop Dogg, Silkk, Mystikal, TRU, C-Murder
    1997-2000 (3)

    Murder INC = Ja Rule, Ashanti, The Murderers, Lloyd
    1999-2004 (5)

    Yeah, but also when you look at Ruff Ryders, DMX was the only one doing those type of numbers aside from Eve. Cash Money has had a few artists go Platinum plus more than once.

    Lol now you exaggerating. Eve never sold like Lil Wayne. Carter 3 and Carter 4 alone >>> Eve's total sales. Kiss' most popular album took like a year to sell 1 million. Drake & Nicki do that in 2 months.

    Only thing they have over them is X, but Juvenile + Lil Wayne make up for that.

    the hot boys went platinum, the big tymers went platinum, bg consistently went gold
    hell even the baller blockin soundtrack went gold
