Speaking of the Board of Doom...

As I've snippetized in email and in comments, here's the latest hoohah from the land of What the Hell is Going On With JC's Album?(tm) Edited to add: The post has been edited since I snagged this info.

Posted by Jayne:

"Someone claimed on another board that some freelancer from Jive told her that Jive pushed JC's album back to "punish" him because he wouldn't put a rapper on his first single like they wanted."


Posted by gadzookus:

"I don't know anything about the punishment part, but both DMX and Jay-Z *were* approached. I have no other details, but that did in fact happen. Your friend is telling the truth."

!!!!!!!!!!

A week later both DMX and Jay-Z announced that they were leaving the business. Oy.

Well, at first Jive had threatened to send JC to bed with no dessert, but that was far too harsh, so instead they pushed his album back.

The on going tale of Little Pink Ridinghood and the Big Bad Jive. I see book deals and merch. Little tshirts that say 'Grandma, what big name rappers you have!' and on the back 'All the better to bastardize your album with.' Yes, what an absolutely marvelous plan.

Oh and a week later both DMX and Jay-Z announced that they were leaving the business made me laugh really very loudly. Thanks for braving the Board of Doom to bring us such comedy.

and on the back 'All the better to bastardize your album with.

So, this made me cackle with glee. Too much man. Thanks for the laugh.

Fox, I love when you brave the board of doom.

Fox, I love when you brave the board of doom.

The secret is to take a sleeping bag, a couple of sandwiches and a Thermos of soup with you. Oh, and a some J-14s for when it gets boring.

Heee! JC drove DMX and Jay-Z out of the music industry!

Now he and Justin can be villains together. This is a story I would read. =)
