It's too bad I may miss out on this boxset. 100 bucks is just too steep right now. I'm broke as fuck, and all my money next month is pretty much spent already on bills and presents. 

That being said, I had a feeling something would happen. And it did, by the looks of it. It sounds like Island had a few more papers to get signed. Ugh. 

But still, going through hatchetgear is a nightmare these days anyway. It used to be awesome to come home and look in my mailbox to see my stuff had arrived way earlier than expected, and it was a treat. Last christmas I ordered the death pop vinyl in november and didn't get it until like early February. I was so pissed. But whatever. I just wish PSY would start kicking some ass at HG Warehouse. It really will hurt your sales when word starts circling around about how crappy customer service is, orders not getting shipped, etc.

Like I doubt they get an amount of orders daily that makes it impossible to process on a timely fashion, so its either laziness or they just dont know what they are doing and were never taught how to properly do orders. Was it ever this bad when Alex Was running pSY?

When Alex was in charge, he got ICP/PSY deals with big labels.  He got their CDs into stores like Best Buy and FYE.  But it's different now.  They distribute themselves and those stores don't give a fuck.

What is Alex doing these days anyway?

So he did PSY dirty?

Because I have a crazy encyclopedia memory when it comes to Psychopathic, I can show you the exact interview XIII is referring to. Cue up to 26:13 if it doesn't do it automatically.

Sweet! If anyone wants to be "down" then go right ahead and buy this bullshit. 

 

Btw, if anyone here listens to DJ Gay than your fucking clown shoes. 

History will not look kindly on your homophobia. It's fuckin 2014; using "gay" as a pejorative is something that only 12 year olds still do. Also, I'm not one to make fun of grammar mistakes, but if anyone wants to take that one it's up for grabs re: "your fucking clown shoes".

if Alex had never left, I.C.P. would be huge ! they would be selling out arenas ! the current manager has fucked them over for a quick Hot Topic buck ! Alex was a real business man with a plan !

nah, they would just negotiate a license, most likely, then have em pressed up, if a ready supply wasnt available.  

But Island controls the masters to certain Jokers Cards right?

That's why ICP can't take the vocals off of the beats for certain songs in their live show. J said they lack the ability to do so.

Island would press up the cds for those cards, and ICP would negotiate a wholesale price, for a bulk shipment.

great they probably wont be remastered either. Ehhh

They lack the ability to do so for technical reasons, not for legal reasons. They don't have the multi-track data for their old songs since they were made with older technology. Dig? As in, they don't have the ability to strip vocals off of a full mix any more than you or I do.

Seems strange Psychopathic wouldn't have an instrumental version of all their shit. I figured Island owned the "multi-track data" for those few cards, which is what has prevented ICP from being able to access it, to create instrumentals for Jeckel Bros songs etc., in their live show.

Either way I don't see Island letting Psychopathic press up all of those old Jokers cards cds with Island logos on them, by themselves.
