This is the unofficial, unapproved website of Aftermath Records. Aftermath is one of the premiere rap record labels. It was founded by the man given credit for creating gangsta rap. But originally, it wasn't supposed to be. Dre wanted his label to venture into movies, television, and music. But after "growing pains" early on, Dre was desperate to make Aftermath Entertainment work out. Artists like Truth Hurts just didn't fly. And so, on came Eminem. Then the Chronic 2001. Then 50 Cent.
