Makaveli - Immortalized
 
That Born Again album was trash. Mackavelli was the superior posthumous album

Death Row wins this
 
This is the closest match up in the tournament.

Classics/album quality: BB had more classics/high quality albums, but if I made a top 5 using all the albums 4/5 would be from DR. Tie

Sales: BB released way more albums, DR shot a better percentage. Tie

Impact: Tie


My deciding factor came down to how many years within the 5 were they #1. 97 is clear for BB, 96 is clear for DR.

98-00 you can argue Roc, aftermath and RR ran those years.

92-95 can be argued DR ran all of those years.


Slight edge DR
 
this was difficult cuz 95-96 was peak years for both labels

hell u could argue this is why they even had an east coast vs. west coast beef

I even think they were a couple of movie soundtracks from both that weren't included in the lists too
