Aftermath Entertainment
Aftermath Entertainment is a record label, specializing in hip-hop music, founded by Dr. Dre in 1996. Dre was originally co-owner of Death Row Records with current Death Row CEO Suge Knight, but left that label in early 1996.
With artists such as Eminem, 50 Cent, Eve, Busta Rhymes, The Game, Stat Quo, and Dre himself signed to the label, Aftermath has become one of the most successful hip-hop labels of the present era.
- Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin' Dre fell off
- What, 'cause I been in the lab wit' a pen and a pad
- tryin' to get this damn label off?
- I ain't havin' that; this is the millenium of Aftermath
- It ain't gon' be nothin' after that
- So give me one more platinum plaque
- and fuck rap! You can have it back
