What's the most slammin' label?

[AnthonyA1971]

Just curious to hear some opinions...What's the most slammin' freestyle label...BESIDES Mic Mac and Cutting?? I say Metropolitan...the old school Metroploitan specifically...Wiseguy and High Power are a real close second...

 

[djmongo1one]

In my opinion its Metropolitan definitely for old skool and for new skool it has to be Artistik!!!

 

[James Anthony]

Metropolitan started out good and then started to suck really quickly.....and they wonder why they stopped playing freestyle songs on the radio.....Micmac suffered the same fate, but at least they were good for a couple of years, and even when they did start to get shitty there were still a few gems in the later years (Nyasia "Whos Got Your Love", Cynthia "Love Me Tonight", etc...)

 

[Kenny Guido]

the new sound of freestyle was not the reason why MICMAC died......it was alot more complicated.

Tommy Boy/ Timber records. Lately, they've been distributing excellent new school freestyle. I wish they'd make more freestyle than what they have now.

Robbins and I think the name is StreetBeat is coming up up a lot of slammin' tracks lately. My vote's for them.

 

[Primax]

I am baised but ...

Of course anyone who knows me expect me to say "Tazmania", well I am gonna say Tazmania. They are the true originators of new school even though they had some artist that just should not have been recorded.

Actually let me revise this and say not a label but the studio "The Polygon!" Rob at the polygon is the man with new sounds!

PMX

 

[dathunder]

I definitely agree with primax, Tazmania!

 

[ER THE FS CHILD]

OLD SCHOOL--> MICMAC & HIGH POWER
NEW SCHOOL--> TIMBER/TOMMY BOY

I would have to say :

Mic Mac
Fever
Cutting

Those are my top labels.🙂

 

[Alex]

CUTTING

Timber! & Robbins. although tha only freestyle artists i know of on Robbins are Cynthia,Rockell, GL, & K5. other than that they have more artists, but not freestyle.

but i have to say my favorite was MicMac back n tha day! "change on me", "i wont stop loving you", "no reason to cry", "crying over you" did they know how to work tha vocoder sound or what!!! LOL!

One more good record Robbins has is "Castles In The Sky" by Ian Van Dahl. It's my fave song right now. (It's Trance though 😀)

Robbins also has good comps and mixes with Freestyle, House, and Trance.

 

[Putana]

Good topic! Old school, Hmmm that's tough! I've GOT to go with both MicMac and Metropolitan! (Deniz's "U R the One" still gives me a bone to this day). New School - I like Artistik & Tazmania! I've got to get my freakin' hands on Artistik freestyle parade Vol. 4 already!!!

p.s. - sorry to be so graphic, I'm just being truthful about Deniz's song & what it does to me!

 

[toni]

for oldschool ofcourse mic mac

but u think metro is old school????? not in my book

 

[hard2pleez]

In my opinion, MIC MAC kept the classics coming one after the other up until 91-92. I remember going to the record stores and people were running to hear the new song on that label that had the red and yellow record sleeve. They did wonders for freestyle with:
CYNHTIA
JOHNNY O
BODY AND STYLE
EXO
TONASIA
RIOS SISTERS
NYASIA
EILEEN FLORES
ABBY LYNN
AND MORE
MARIBELL
SOAVÉ
TIANA
Can you guys think of another label that brought us so many hits and classics? Too bad they got greedy and it had to end.
