I was thinking recently that do you guys think that MNE is taking on more then they can handle? What I mean is, MNE has 12 artists, counting AMB, Triple Threat, and Zodiac, with albums or albums coming out, and with the recent downfall with the production quality and the use of CD-Rs, along with the lack luster Psychomania and Triple Threat EPs, do you think they are taking on too much and is their label and music is going to suffer from the work load?

It is too early to tell, but depending on contract terms, I would like to know how they are paying all of those acts because it is a lot of people, and that is not including the costs of running a label.
These days almost all money is made from touring and merch sales. I have not read much about MNE since it began, but what do their tours look like? Are the places sold out every night like an ICP show? For a tour to be profitable tickets need to be sold steadily. If that is not happening, the bills and artists cannot get paid and will start to leave. Depending on how popular the acts are, if they can get a better deal likely from a larger label then they will leave. And considering Twiztid is easily the most popular act on MNE, they need to be touring nonstop.
Beyond that, the decline in quality raises more questions. We can assume Twiztid had made some money over the years on Psy, it is very strange they would not invest in the quality of their releases, at least for the first few years.
TLDR- if acts start bailing yes they did.

its only too much, retroactively, if they fail.
and further, only if they fail specifically because they took on so much.
otherwise, all other scenarios, the question is completely hypothetical. and the answer is still no.
okay, if you wanna clarify ‘suffer’ into some kinda extra specific occurrence, like ‘did they take on too much to be able to get me my t-shirt order in three days?’… then, the answer might be yes. but still only after it happens.
awfully paranoid, arent you?

The Twiztid shows I have been to have been pretty packed, compared to ICP though? last show i could get to was the American Psycho tour sooooo
For the quality, it is weird to see, maybe they are trying to pump out releases to show they really can hold it on their own? or it could just be convenient timing and skimping on “less important projects”. But saying that begs the question, why was the first print for Gorilla Voltage on a CD-R, they are clearly talented, why skimp on them?
