Yukmouth presents...I-Rocc FEBRUARY 2004

Nice idea, but a little too much.
How much $ is this going to be?
This is solid advice: You'd make more money releasing the Swishahouse version as it's own cd.
If Watts did it, then you have no problem throwing the SwishaHouse logo on the cover of the Watts version. Look at what Lil' J did with the Chopped version of Devin the Dude, and how Eightball & MJG released the Watts remix of "Space Age Pimpin". If you're in touch with the slowed & chopped movement then you know that the remix is worth it's own cd (and in many instances is a hotter seller than the regular version.)

Kage: Right on for the good words but we aren't interested in making more money we are interested in selling more units which means giving consumers more for their money. We are in an industry flooded with CD's and now we as labels have to raise the bar by offering more. If we released a Yukmouth presents...I-Rocc in the Southas just a screwed version then the chances of anyone picking it up are slim because I-Rocc is basically a new artist outside of the West Coast and KC. I have done my research on SoundScan regarding Screwed only albums and they are as big as people think. Even taking into account the large # of Mom & Pops and Swapmmeets that are not SoundScan, it still isn't enough to justify the expense of it's own stand alone CD.
Right on everyone.
Peace.

Real talk B-12, I've been telling folks for the longest chopped $ Screwed shit will win, especially on the Swisha House mixed tapes then the shit drop, you already have your shit circulating wit Lil Flip, Chopper, David Banner, etc... I was was just wit the Swisha House click in Galveston Texas. We're putting together the "Best of Spice1 Chopped & Screwed", Messy Marv and I hope J.T. will get down with this aswell. But Irocc is grinding in the Industry and he's learning from one of the best.
