What Happened to Young Money? (YMCMB)

No matter who you are, relevancy and dominance in hip-hop is never secure. Within a moment’s notice, what once felt unshakable can enter a state of disrepair and for hip-hop’s labels, their position is even more precarious. With just a few misfires, a beloved label can find itself scrambling to regroup. Resulting in a situation where, no matter how they reshuffle the deck, a snapshot of their golden years can leave them frozen in time. In turn, making everything that’s happened afterwards seem like a failure by comparison.

YMCMB was like the Justice League. It was Wayne, Drake and Nicki carrying the crew. Or Batman, Superman and Wonder-woman. You didn’t care about the other cornballs. Tyga was like Flash. He was cool occasionally but not enough for you to care.

A bunch of bad contracts and laziness…..Drake and Nicki went the most commercialist that’s why they were selling like hotcakes especially Drake he’s was constantly working. Everybody else on Young Money seemed to be lazy they wasn’t dropping a bunch of mixtapes nor getting features they could’ve easily ran the 2010’s after the “We Are Young Money” compilation album dropped. Tyga was slapping in the tape game at that period he even had both a platinum and a gold album on the label before he left to do his own thing with LastKings he just didn’t have that big push for those 2 albums all the focus was really on Drake then the fallout between Birdman and Weezy fucked everything up.

Also about Nicki. Im not dissin drake but he dropped consistently staying at the tippy top top, and strived to be the highest but Nicki took a different route. She secured her spot and went on to take the legacy path. She doesn't release as much. And to prove she did secure her legacy and status was her 2 year hiatus. She literally took 2 YEARS off music and still got people begging. I think this is because of her relationship with her fans.

[@edwardmulenga8463]

Once you realize that nothing lasts forever and not everything works out you'll stop questioning things like this. Gudda is Lil Wayne's friend since childhood and him being signed to the label is because he's in Waynes circle even if he doesn't drop anything.

When YMCMB was poppin times were so simple

[@Tru3ac313]

Remember that line “and I got her nigga,grocery bag”🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Mr.Frost181]

So pretty much it was just temporary working with Wayne .....I would've left to if I didn't get my money ......I was asking myself that why happened to ymcmb because you don't hear nothing from them

[@KIAS1]

There are very few imprint hip-hop record labels that last longer than a decade. The best course of action is either signing to a major label like Atlantic or remaining independent.

[@miltonayala3845]

YM were nothing more than stepping stones for Wayne to cement him self as the GOAT. Was a great team.

Cash money and young money labels has stood the test of time. Back in 2009-2014 every artist had either a wayne, drake feature to blow.

Young money hasn't stood the test of time they aren't doing shit

what’s crazy is that were actually talented. that collab album was fire

I was listening to young money album this week🔥

[@siphosimwanza4429]

6:32 "... he still has zero studio albums to his name, even after 16 long years on the label." 😂😂😂😂

[@teeswrld]

If your on a label for 10+ years, with no album. I want to know what your required to still be doing at this point? Do you move on as a writer, producer or what?

[@MisterKOak]

Cory Gunz was the one person I was excited for; I had been listening to him since his pre-Young Money days. Alas... earwax.

[@TheMallachiv]

I feel bad for corey, his verse outshines Wayne on his own track in 6 foot 7 foot. I also feel bad for Kevin rudolph(the guy who made let it rock). He had legitimate talent but was just the token rock guy in the crew cause Wayne wanted to be a rockstar at the time. So many artists had a promising future in cash money but were horribly managed. They could have been one of the greatest rap groups to do it but ego,bad decisions,keeping albums hostage and controlling artists creatively and otherwise ruined it.

[@GucciP777]

Why does nobody know about the REAL original young money.. in 2003 it was gudda, t streets, Kidd Kidd, supa blanco, and young yo, that’s the first era.. second era is the curren$y, Mack Maine era from 05-06... THEN the drake nicki era... gudda ain’t no damn new comer he’s an og member since before even tha Carter 1

What happened is the same thing that happens to all organizations businesses where they're concerned themselves with flash instead of working on your business and making sure that that's tight you get what you get

[@OdysseyTag]

Pattern repeats itself for both MMG and YM - if you want your vision to thrive, you can't get hooked to your label.
