While Death Row may have been home to more well known artists, Bad Boy Records had a solid crew that was backed by the one-two punch of Biggie and Puff Daddy (P.Diddy). Diddy produced practically all of Biggie’s songs, and the two were a well known team. Also, Bad Boy was a pioneer hip hop record company in the sense that they were one of the first to sign female rappers to their label. Such examples are Faith Evans and Lil Kim, who were also featured on many of Biggie’s songs. Foxy Brown also had signed with the label at one point. Though Bad Boy didn’t have the star power that Death Row had, they still had a solid supporting cast for Biggie with artists like Craig Mack and Mace. Now Death Row may have produced more hip hop hits than Bad Boy, but Bad Boy also produced many R&B hits, showing that they were a versatile operation. Overall, I would take Death Row Records Over Bad Boy Records personally, but both companies are legendary in the hip hop community.
