2768416, why are there no labels centered around producers anymore?

how many fruitless ventures did major labels grant to rappers in the 00's?

why did somebody like nas have his own major label-distributed vanity imprint but somebody like rockwilder didn't?

almost every subsidiary label given to a successful rapper has flopped.

imo one of the most important things behind every successful label is a producer or a production team.
that concept seems to have been lost in the terrible 00's.
everything became freelance.
a lot of missed opportunity and potential money as well imo.
