    As I guy who cannot listen to more than few songs of those guys you just listed, I can say I'd prefer Stat Quo and Cashis more but it's not how things work. Those guys can make money. The most mainstream-esque artist Shady ever signed was Yela and even he sucks in terms of success and sales etc. He got the voice, he can sing he can rap, so many different styles... Thinkin' Yela couldn't done it ,no wayCashis could make it big. But like I said maybe Stat Quo with the help of Dre and some catchy songs.

    In "Dear Summer," Stat Quo mentioned saying some joke to Eminem which made him wash his hands of the Statlanta project. A lot of the tracks he made with the camp were good/marketable. "Like Dat," "G.R.I.T.S.," "By My Side," "Here We Go." Most of his mixtape material - stuff he made without Em and Dre looking over his shoulder - I could never get into.

    With Creek and Ca$his I think it was a matter of the label doing nothing for them. Ca$his has like 9 kids and needed to put out music to support them. I like a lot of what he's put out since. Bobby Creekwater grew on me too. "You and What Army" is excellent.

    I always assumed considering their closeness at the time, shared history with drugs, and their distance now, that Cashis was Eminem's big dealer/enabler during the King Mathers era. I bet Em needed to be as far away from him as possible after he sobered up. The guy was decent at best so I don't miss him one bit.

    I remember when Creekwater was signed. No-one had any information back then, let alone after he quietly disappeared from the roster. It wouldn't shock me if Em has no memory of this guy at all. I thought he had potential, but no-one had a shot during those days.

    We all know more about Stat. Eminem was a crybaby, took offence to a joke (probably too true for him to handle) and left Stat to rot under Dre's 'supervision'. I still don't see why anyone would sign to Aftermath.

    I think Stat Quo and Bobby Creek are both dope. FUPM was a dope project. In the "Alright Alright" video, Kendrick Lamar made a cameo in the video for this song. "Church on Mondays" is a dope track too.

    It's still hard to believe that Stat Quo was on Shady/Aftermath for 7 years and never dropped an album.

    Shady records as a label is pretty meh in general, the only ones who benefited back then was 50 and D12, and maybe Obie.

    If Stat actually dropped back in 2003 when they first signed him, back when Southern rap was huge, and gotten some good beats from Dre he could've been very successful. He sat on the shelf for too long and the Southern/Crunk phase came and went.

    Naw he was there from 2003-10. This is the first freestyle I heard from him when Dre signed him in 03. Such a sick beat.

    If that was true I don't see why he would be signed with the label until 2011 and have an ongoing writing agreement or something (according to Cashis) beyond that.

    Bolded tells the whole story. I've not heard Eminem mention the guy at all since he returned to music, nor is there any evidence to say they've worked together since... To my knowledge at least. I know there were a few Em produced tracks released, but I doubt they were recent. Em shunned the guy.

    My source was Shady Records own site tho. I know those albums were also Aftermath but you know what I've said was true anyway.

    s--- I don't see what the point was in signing the man. That's bad when people don't even know how long he has been signed for lol.

    He was writing for Detox. Seems like a few rappers were signed just to ghost-write for Dre.

    Euthanasia 2 was released this past week. Pity no effort was put into the artwork, but the album is good (in my opinion).

    Would love to hear your thoughts?
