Here come the fucking "beef" comments lol

With a side of gravy

I'm not one for the whole beef deal but he basically calls ICP / PSY out on nepotism pretty hard in the beginning. You can't deny that. Whether there is beef or not, or if there was but it was squashed, he is kinda flat out there with some shit. I don't know if it's "beef" but he is definitely unhappy with the way Twiztid was treated in the past.

We went through and listened to the interview prior to its release (thanks to Ray of NE-HipHop) and put together a list of bulletpoints from it. If you want to see what's covered, check it here:

"The Darkness" being the highest-charting and longest-lasting album they've ever released
What it's like running a label and doing everything themselves
Will sign artists to MNE who can be groomed to run their careers the right way.
MNE almost ready to announce 5 new artists! 3 from Cali, 1 from New York, 1 from Detroit. Just have to wrap up some legalities
Monoxide's eye for talent and how he tried to bring Rittz, Yelawolf, Snow the Product, Hopsin, Eminem to Psychopathic Records
Said that these signings would have changed the history of music
Twiztid's history with Eminem
There will be "extreme quality control" with artists on MNE. It's not about gimmicks, race, etc, it's all about TALENT
Twiztid will take a back seat after 2015 and concentrate on their roster
Twiztid will also be working on a movie next year, launching a radio show, and hope to get their own satellite radio show.
After leaving Psychopathic, they have had tons of offers and licensing deals being thrown at them. Some are great, while others...not so much. They will maintain brand integrity
Twiztid plans on bringing horrorcore to the mainstream properly.
April is Twiztid Fam Appreciation month! Instead of pocketing their proceeds, they put most of their money back into the operation to give the best possible products and experiences for the money!
Twiztid has turned down several offers from major tours and festivals to maintain their integrity
Wanted to focus on just Twiztid after leaving Psychopathic, but were quickly inspired to start their own label.
Merch discussion and thoughts of a new clothing line that has nothing to do with Twiztid as artists (similar to what Kanye's doing, but affordable)
Twiztid shoes and the process they went through to make them
Growing up poor and how music saved them
Performing Mostasteless from start to finish at the Mystery Show
Monoxide's favorite music that has dropped recently: Kendrick Lamar

From NEHip-Hop.com:

Tune into NEHip-Hop.com at 1pm sharp for our just under an hour long interview with Twiztid's Monoxide Child! WAY too much to recap here - but there are plenty of exclusive updates regarding their plans for a new clothing line, movie and 5 artists they're about to sign to Majik Ninja Entertainment!

I figured i would start a thread about this interview since people didn't see their Smokebox interview until days later. I'll post the interview in here when it drops around 1p.m.
