I find it hard to believe that strange would sign twiztid though, they've never shown any interest in them before. I'd love to hear why you're so positive that strange even wants anything to do with them at all.

yayyay mighta "projected" but he also brought one of the only reasonable posts to this snowballing thread.

 

i'm not entirely sure where everyone gets this "miserable" twiztid image from...for years now, they seem content and pretty genuinely happy in every clip ive seen. if anything, it seems like they are pigeon-holed into the "negative/horrorcore" scene. That is the double-edge sword of being the only successful act on psychopathic (besides icp ofcourse)-they have a strong, dedicated fanbase, excuse me, "family" but that "family" is very niche and not willing to really respect artistic freedom outside of the "horrorcore" canopy.

 

biggest difference between the two acts is talent...when discussing musical integrity and skill at the craft, your only fooling yourself if you dont realize icp is way passed their prime and only getting worse.i would say the exact opposite goes for twiztid, abominationz was an incredible release and really validated twiztid's talent and how much more they have to offer.

 

if i were J, i would be in panic mode.psychopathic is at a crossroads and desperately needs a total makeover or it will not last much longer.where as twiztid are most likely going to sign with strange and expand their music to a new, supportive fanbase that is sure to bring more success & $$$ than they have experienced in a decade (speculation, but i would be willing to put money on it), psychopathic is fucked. icp was the face of the franchise and twiztid was the faithful soldier carrying the torch...the only act really worth checking on the roster.you are kidding yourself if you don't see how much their departure hurts the label and im sure J knows it (absolutely hates it...but can't deny it)

 

psychopathic doesn't seem interested in capturing relevant/up&coming talent...they don't appear to have an A&R division whatsoever. they have lost their only asset outside of icp and seem content on keeping the ship sailing, no regard for the damage done or the fact that they are capsizing.

 

i mean...legz diamond and the purple gang?...are you fucking serious?...theyre gonna send legz, J's brother, and his babysmomma out there in zoot suits and call it a day?...they need to let go of the "gimmick" aspect and find talent.music is WAY more important than theatrics, they got lucky with twiztid.im extremely excited to see twiztid sign with strange (once psychopathic actually releases them...) and the magic they create in such a thriving environment.having followed both labels for such a long time, its really impressive looking at what strange has become and the talent they have assembled...psychopathic should be scouring the globe for an act such as mayday, ces cru, kaliko, etc...

 

lastly...the infomercials/approach of psychopathic is an insult and embarrassment to any fan...or "juggalo" if you will...ugh...i don't even wanna get started on how counterproductive and hurtful that shit is from a marketing standpoint...speaks volumes for how out of touch and lost the label really is.

 

Thank You *end rant*

""but a friend of mine is a big fan & schooled me on it.out of respect for their privacy," See it's word of mouth. Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear. Them going to Strange would be a terrible idea on their part."

you misinterpreted what i was getting at.it's not word of mouth, some people would enjoy putting a celebrities business outthere like that, but i'm not that dude.you kinda seem like the typa dude that would show up on their doorstep bitching after they sign to strange.haha

you should do yourself a favor and research strange music and their track record before so much talking about how bad of a business decision it would be.

they offer amazing promotion/opportunity to their whole roster, not just tech.

there coulden't be a better fit for twiztid, its a similiar fanbase to explore, they will have full backing:top notch recording/production, full promotion, multiple professional quality music videos for each project, and most importantly:constant, successful touring revenue.

you don't really have an argument.the reason you choose not to elaborate as to why it would be such a bad fit, is because you aren't familiar w/ what your talking about and don't really have an explanation...or...your...trolling?

Didn't say I believe it completely either but Twiztid has always had a good relationship with them. On Ashtrays and Action Figures they said they're at the Strange office a lot. Then that pic on their twitter at Strange after their album was released. Who knows and who knows how long Psychopathic will drag this thing on.

If Twiztid goes to Strange they have to deal with a middleman/middlemen. If it's just them dealing with a company for merchandise they get bigger cut for everything sold. If they go to Strange they're back at square one. 10k to make a record. If the Lotus Pod is still the free studio (inhouse studio) there they're paying for a producer, mixer, engineer, artwork & promotion. That 10k turned to a pretty profit if for every record sold they got back $1.17 they just made 20k (if my calculator didn't screw my math up). And 4 bucks for every shirt they sold, they did better than you guys think.

Come on, who hasn't wanted to slap a crying baby on an airplane before? We all have, admit it, if you say no I find it hard to believe that you have ever been in that situation. Have I ever done it? No, it's important to show restraint and I feel it's wrong to hit children, especially infants. Not saying I agree with him hitting that child, I'm just saying I understand. It's not like airlines don't provide headphones, drown it out man. Or hit the kid and wind up in jail, up to you. If he hit a white child with no racial slur would people bitch this much about it? Probably not, which is ironic, because it's wrong either way.

My point exactly.

If Twiztid signs to Strange I'm not sure how good or bad it'd be. They obviously will get better promotion, better music videos and such judging by how they handle other artists. I don't know though.

It might be bad because if they do sign to Strange there will obviously be some bitter feelings on ICP's end. If that happens we already know that tons of juggalos will leave Twiztid's side since there are already juggalos that hate them just for leaving the label. Perhaps there are people that just plain out hate Tech and Strange and will hate them just for signing to Strange. These days people will hate artists over stupid petty ridiculous things so you never know.

 

Joke.

How many dirty stinkin' Tech N9ne fans does it take to screw in a light bulb.

3 dirty stinkin' Tech N9ne fans.

1 dirty stinkin' Tech N9ne fans to screw in the light bulb and 2 dirty stinkin' Tech N9ne fans to ride Tech N9ne's dick.

I'm talking more so on business path they would do better going solo if they learned from Icp. Tech on a personal opinion I feel he did sell out. But the thread I created was just to troll the tech fans.

I don't think Twiztid is big enough to roll solo. They're no ICP.

twiztid has little to no chance at success if attempting the DIY approach...there is so much that goes into it that they would get swallowed into obscurity before releasing two more projects.

 

they just dont have the revenue/fanbase to pull off something of that magnitude.the majority of the $$$ made by any artist is in touring...twiztid have been playing small shows the past few years and w/o any way to keep their name buzzing, that market will only shrink further.after putting so much into their careers for so long, i wish they had the fanbase to pull it off...but it ain't happening.

 

the way psychopathic is dragging their feet on releasing them is pretty fucked up...they're intentionally bleeding them as much as possible.
