Miss Info asked Jimmy about the VIBE news that a Dipset EP is on the way: Jim says the guys are working on an independent release from the group on July 4th, and that Koch may distribute but all the members are cleared and songs are in the making. Sounds like new Dipset will be right on time for Summer Jam?!”
“I’m a little bit disappointed in the way the album came out. I felt like the album was so dope, then you deal with some politics in the game that are way out of your control. When you deal with something so crazy sometimes you get disappointed… I really really did not want to come out on April 5th,” Jim continues. “The album is super dope. This is why I am even more disappointed because if I had the chance to market and promote the album the way I needed to who knows what could have happened.
“Then you deal with a situation where you back is up against the wall. For the sake of the label’s business, you sacrifice your art.”
Jim breaks down what went down with his last major label album.
“My last album was at Sony. I got to spend a lot of money over there. I had a fun time over there. Shouts to Hip-Hop and Al Branch. They were working my album over there. But 6 weeks before my album was supposed to come out both of them quit. So the marketing strategy drastically changed. The amount of records I was promised by the label changed drastically.
“So with the so called “consolidation” the number [of records] I was promised would be shipped changed.”
“With spending close to 8-million dollars or something close to that at Sony I figured I’m pretty much in debt for a very long time a lot of grapes and high-class studios. Ask Chung King studios about me. I locked out like a rock star in there. We were spending close $100,000 a month there.” (Missinfo)
