Can He Hold Down the Roc? Or Will The Roc Fall To Just Average Albums?

i rekon the ROC will hold together but not beacuse of him it will be dash that holds it together i reckon

The ROC's been dropping average albums, with the exception of the Black Album, for a while now. How good the album is has absolutely nothing to do with how well it sells. The ROC will stay together, like K said, because Dame is a shrewd businessman and Jay isn't a slouch either on the business end of things. And their reputation will keep them afloat too. The ROC has a rep and a lot of cats will buy whatever they put out just off the strength that it was produced by them. For Christ's sake, there's people that still buy stuff from The Row just 'cause they made it, and they haven't dropped a decent album since '97. So, no Memph isn't gonna hold the Roc down if his album is the shit, and he won't break them if it sucks. Neither will anyone else in the Roc for that matter.

^^ summed it up pretty well

Roc isnt going anywhere...Kanye West...Kanye West...Kanye West...Kanye West....1luv.

Well, skill wise... Bleek is just slightly above average to me. Beans and Kayne West are good rappers, and of course Jay-Z is. 3 good rappers is pretty good in the mainstream labels, which usually only have one good rapper (sometimes NO good rappers) and the others are hopeless. Also, they got Just Blaze and West for production so thats good. The Roc can hold it down skill wise AND sales wise... but it wont be Bleek who does it

umm damn you guys are dumb..roc have 2 groups that will always keep them on top..
Diplomats
State Property..
now jus imagine everyone thats in thoise two groups..remember..cant stop wont stop was the shit over the summer..they will most cetainly stay afloat

they can simply speak over Just Blaze and Kanye beats. Freeway is gold which is very good for a debut album. Bleek consistantly goes gold, State Property goes gold, Beans is a gold seller, Kanye will probably go platnium, M.O.P. will probably go gold, if they end up signing Shyne he might go platnium off his immense street cred, and if not he'll def. go gold, Dip Set go gold, Cam'ron goes plat, DJ Clue goes plat, they are probably going to sign Rakim so that may be another gold plaque, Young Gunz if they have another good single will probably go platnium. So no HE won't hold them down THEY will hold them down.

Isnt Desert Storm connected to the ROC family in sum way???

the owner of Desert Storm is an artist on Rocafella(DJ Clue) and in some other ways 2 i think

If they sign Shyne, i will be tuned into the ROC's work...

either they will or fucking Murda Inc will

no, i know shyne is too street and gangsta for tha wankstas at Murder Inc.

Irv Gotti is an actual gangsta so thats why he has a chance of getting shyne. But nobody likes anybody on murda inc so he should go with Rocafella. He has a personal vendetta against puffy so hopefully he'll shoot him in tha face

^ lol! Now we wouldnt want Nelly to lose his beloved boyfriend

And also, if Jay-Z is lying by his "last album" he'll prolly go multiplatinum on whatever else he releases... does anyone know when "College Dropout" by Kayne West is dropping?
