This should come as no surprise Bad Boy Records apparently is closing its doors and moving to Revolt! In the 90s it was all about Bad Boy Records with The Notorious BIG, 112, Lil Kim, Total, Faith Evans, Craig Mack, Mase, Loon, G-Dep, Carl Thomas and many more, but those days are long gone and the golden era of hip hop has truly faded.

These days, Bad Boy Records has been less than impressive with lackluster artists and groups like Day 26, Danity Kane, Cassie, Diddy-Dirty Money and many more seen here in the artist graveyard or as Bad Boy would say, their Rooster. Bad Boy has always pumped out hits, but NOT like the 90s and many artists were thrown to the waste side after one or two albums. It was said in many circles that Diddy didn’t want his artist’s light to shine brighter than his and that Bad Boy had many sign shady record deals, observant costs, leaving many artists now destitute with no outlet or label to produce them. Today there is less than a handful of artists making a buzz from Bad Boy like Janelle Monae and French Montana. The only problem is none of his current artists (Cassie, Janelle Monae or French Montana) have reached platinum or gold success.

In light of the two radio friendly artists, which is a sad comparison to yester-year its only obvious the next step is to close and dissolve the label.

Word on the street via AHH is that Diddy has FIRED all his employees and sent the rest to the REVOLT.

You may remember REVOLT is a new music network created by the mogul that is also rumored to be bumpy start and is still not in many cities yet.

As for French Montana and Janelle Monae, they’ll be transferred over to Interscope Records according to sources.

janelle monaes been under atlantic for a while now...bad boy still gets a share but shes been distributed, marketed, etc all under the warner/atlantic umbrella.

this move makes sense but that janelle note is a bigg mis-statement, not sure how legit this article is.
 
Damn Los, it's over.

EDIT: I thought he shut down bad boy 10 years ago tho?

This is believable. Janelle needa' be somewhere else anyway.
She's been signed to her own company since the beginning. Check out her interview with the breakfast club to here her describe how diddy and big boi play into her career. I doubt if diddy did infact shut down bad boy that it'll have any affect on career luckily.
 
What happened to "Can't stop, won't stop"?

I aint even know Janelle Monae was signed to BB :wow: :lol:

It'd be an end to an era but honestly BB been dead for a while, the last person they had on the label that generated any hits was Diddy himself and he hasn't been able to get anywhere with a new act since.
