smells like the doings of Bob Perry

[Verge]

at Popabitch and yeah Bob Perry is who l filed my paypal complaint against. Shady background on this guy l assume? l know he's got people at other forums talking bout they still havent received his last project, that soundtrack shit by RZA.

[Neuro]

Yeah Bob Perry was who I purchased it from on Paypal as well. I saw he was actually credited in the ending credits of the Rise of the GFK video that someone just posted. I've e-maied him and Soul Temple a few times now. Gonna issue a complaint against him today. Let me know when you receive yours.

I did get my iron fists package; I'm going to wait until the last second to open a dispute if I haven't gotten anything since a refund still puts in me in the lurch re: tracking down the brown tape (apollo brown remix version of the album for those that don't know)

Bob is the king of bootlegs. He is also the owner of Landspeed Rec, Traffic Ent.

[Philaflava]

I used to hear mad stories from friends who worked with him or artists that were signed to Landspeed. I'm sure you can find shit on Google. Freddie Foxx was the only one to really get to Bob and made him pay up.

First search I found..

Trav,

What’s up, it’s Dan from Dekagon Records (Archetype).

Well I worked for Landspeed Records in 2002 and by early 2003, it became Traffic Entertainment (which is still is).

Landspeed was a big distributor for indie hip hop in the beginning of the decade and was home to many different labels including Brick Records, Eastern Conference (after Rawkus), Groove Attack, and many others. They released some big indie rap records in that time including the first two Cormegas,Bumpy Knuckles Industry Shakedown, and the first 50 Cent mixtape Guess Who’s Back. Their last two releases were Big Noyd’s Only The Strong and dead prez’s turn off the radio 2 (like I said I was there at the end).

They really had some dope hip hop and being more or less the only non-ny outlet (although they had NY offices for the label, the Boston place was for the distro) such as Edan, 7L & Eso, and a few others. The bottom line was that the dude who owned the company, Bob Perry, was a crook. He didn’t pay anyone. He started not paying artists, it then trickled down to other labels/distributors, and eventually reached us (the employees). Traffic was actually formed by people that work for LSR but didn’t agree with the business practices, so they branched off and did their own thing, but Bob Perry got rich. The company eventually went bankrupt, but by that time dude was already caked up. I saw alot of artists and labels get fucked over there. So while the catalog may look nice, Land Speed’s legacy is certainly tainted.

^thanks for the info, what a scumbag this Perry cat is.

[admiral]

Bob Perry jumped out of a back window to avoid Foxx when he came to the Landspeed offices asking about his Industry Shakedown money

teh brown tape is now up for streaming and purchase in its entirety, which is a great idea. that secret cassette shit was dumb

http://soultemplemusic.bandcamp.com/alb ... brown-tape

[Neuro]

it wasnt dumb, but its def not the only way to release it though

glad they realized

[drizzle]

releasing it onto cassette along with other easily available mediums isn't dumb

releasing it in cassette form only as part of a costly bonus package that apparently hasn't even shipped is dumb

[Philaflava]

they realized there is a demand for is based on the pre-orders (that haven't shipped) so why not make more money from you guys and offer it online to download. if you ask me, it was apart of the plan the whole time.

digital purchases are equivalent to bottle water.

[Neuro]

it def wouldve remained more of a gem if it was tape only

just sayin'

[Mindbender Futurama]

Lovin the album!

This.

Sounds kinda like Ghostface's version of "Liquid Swords", but all dusty and shit.

[Neuro]

HEY THATS WHAT I SAID

[Employee]

"Rise of the Black Suits" on The Brown Tape =

[Mindbender Futurama]

HEY THATS WHAT I SAID

THEN YOU ARE A GENIUS

[Tired & Broke]

The Brown Tape is phenomenal. That shit is next level, it captures the sound I want Wu-Tang to have moving forward. Haven't even heard the original version yet, but I fear it won't live up to the masterpiece that Apollo Brown has crafted.

[ogie]

got this email Wednesday

First off we would like to thank you for your pre-order of Twelve Reasons To Die and for supporting Ghostface Killah, Adrian Younge and Soul Temple Records. We are committed to putting together first class Hip Hop packages and we cannot do that without your support.

We want to assure you that we have all of the Ghostface 12RTD inventory in-stock and we are packing orders now. We expect that all orders will be shipped by this weekend and that you will have your product shortly there after.

The reason that we had a delay was that wanted to ship all of the packages with tracking/delivery confirmation and we had to upgrade our mailing system to handle the large volume of packages we are dealing with.

We know that this delay is entirely our fault and that you should have had your purchase by now.

As an offer of good faith, we would like to offer you a free digital download of The Brown Tape as well as 20% off discount code for your next purchase of any item in our catalog.

Just send us and email to soultempleinfo@gmail.com with "Free Brown Tape" in the subject line and we will respond with 24 hours with your download and discount codes.

as much as i like the brown tape for what you just described, IMO the official album IS better, in many ways

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Anyone receive their order yet?
