It is not just Psychopathic fault people albums fail.

The sooner people accept this, the better off we'll all be.

yeah.  

albums fail... because we dont buy them.  

know why sales on abominationz were so 'low'?  because we all downloaded it, thats why.  

no one ive talked to who complains about lack of promotion didnt know about the album.  the only person ive ever seen that claimed not to have known about it was on facebook, and that guy kept spelling twiztid with an e, even after corrected.  

just going by who ive asked about it, more than half of them either downloaded abominationz, or got a copy from someone who bought it.  

you can blame the label, but the fact remains, if we know about it [which we almost always do], and dont pay for it, all the promotion in the world wont help anyway.  

and i admit, i have not given twiztid any money since they left.  i figure ill get new nightmare eventually, but i havent been motivated enough to get it so far.  

they havent toured here yet, thatll be end of this month.  not sure if ill be able to go.  

Remember that truly magical sale on HG where everything was $3 for discs? I got WOTH collectors tin, BMH soundtrack, MDP red pop, and Abominationz, maybe a couple others too. So I'll bet the royalties Twiztid got from my $3, if any (I don't know how it works), would be quite measly. But I did still purchase it officially, just got what I feel was the greatest CD deal in history... the only one that compared was when our Coconuts went out of business, I got all this n maybe more for about $60: Hank William III 3-CD collector's tin, CCR 3-CD collector's tin, The Pharcydes album, Hatebreed album, Candiria album, can't remember the rest but I think one was MF DOOOM - Mm Food. I love cds

But seriously, Lavel? Last I heard that guy became a Jehova's Witness. Dude tried to push Asteriah on the world. Have we forgotten about that travesty already? B-O-O-T-Y-U-P?

Dayton Family

If people didn't buy their music on Psychopathic before than why would the same fan base buy it now?

Rally said

Project Born

Retiring after this year. Once again how many people would actually buy their album. Plus they already have a record deal with AA Records.

Rally said

Lavel

I feel like a Broken record, who actually buys his music? What has he done recently to get signed?

Rally said

all Detroit rappers on their label I think it's better when you keep it close all those rappers from Detroit so they could work together anytime (plus I really like Detroit rappers)

There are a lot of better artists to sign from around the country. Plus the more artist from different cities you have the more promotion in other places can happen easier.

Rally said

sign prozak to a Bedlam deal him and Madness

Once again why would Twiztid sign a group that has not be active in years at least?

Rally said

Psychopathic would never do.

Twiztid was a round for a lot of the time so i'm pretty sure they know the reasons Psychopathic did not sign or keep these artist.

Rally said

Let Twiztid,R.O.C,Blaze make the SWK album

Why? Twiztid needs to worry about doing a Twiztid album, like wise for Blaze. The R.O.C. is bound to retire and come back before he really does anything else.

Rally said

Zodiac Imprint album,

Already happening

Rally said

promote Dayton Family better and Project Born

The best promotion Twiztid could do still would not get them sales.

Rally said

let lavel make his album and maybe let R.O.C and Skrapz make another Halfbreed/level Jumpers Album

Yeah because a ton of people are just lining up to hear any of this.

I may have come off like an asshole with this post but come on this is not the mid to late 90's anymore. Granted Psychopathic is not the best at promoting stuff but maybe lets just look at the artist failures also. It is not just Psychopathic fault people albums fail.

personally, id like to see mike clark produce a double lp with cypress and all of wu-tang, including dirty.  

i would also like world peace, and a pony.  

I'm not saying that it's what they should do, nor saying that it'd ever happen, just saying that I'd want to hear that album. It was something he planned releasing but instead did HLDV. Just thought it'd be dope for him to do that album with Seven's production and with actual studio quality to it.

God damn it, Scruffy, let the Lucem dream!

you do realize, that even if twiztid did sign them, theyd be in a worse position than if on psy, right?  

cmon...  speculation is one thing, saying 'twiztid should sign gordy, pair him with seven, and release an lp with this specific title', thats really reaching.  

what has twiztid done, to show that they know the first thing about running an artist on their label [which doesnt really exists yet]?  

if i was dayton family, i wouldnt even consider signing with twiztid.  prozak is/was already on strange, i strongly doubt twiztid can outperform them.  project born seems pretty unlikely.  gordy says he wants to be a 'normal' rapper, and still hasnt done anything.  

roc, lavel, they might roll with twiztid, but theyre twiztids homies, and they dont really have any other options, anyway.  neither is gonna make them much money.  swk probably would, but not roc solo.  

whats twiztid needs to do, is get their own shit movin.  

they arent gonna just sign someone else, who then drops an incredible hit record, which pays for everything the label does for two years.  not happenin.  not for a long while, at least.  

the capital for that label will come directly from whatever profits twiztid generates themselves.  only after they have that capital, can they risk signing other artists.  

Whether or not you like his really fucking dark wicked shock value baby rape songs (which I sadly doubt he'll ever do again) he is very fucking talented and I think he deserves some professional quality releases.

I'd really like to hear a dark horror album by Gordy that's produced by Seven. They could hook it up. King Gordy + Seven to finally release Gordy's sequel to Jesus Christ's Mistress that was going to be called I'm Pregnant With God's Baby.

But I fear that perhaps Gordy is just lazy. Like, he brags about having so much money but releases an EP that's not even mixed right with a shittily photoshopped picture as the album cover. If that's the case, signing Gordy is a bad idea
