We need to run back that Pen n Pixels cover thread.

That was one of the funniest threads in Sohh/Coli history.
u know much money was made with labels using them...southwest wholesale..

1000 was easy for a package with pen n pixel...they worked with ya budget too..if u didnt have the stack..but the dope game was wide open back then so a stack wasnt shyt..

then southwest whole sale..200 dollars witll get u ya upc isrc codes n scans....20,000 cds.

10,000 cds for albums and like 500 for singles pressed that goes to sw accounts..like sam goody ..circuit city warehouse music n cd warehouse nationwide...out of state will get like 30-49 cioues...but regional will get more...

the remaining 9500 cds is yours...move yaself out the trunk..or drop em off at mom n pops

n with the pen n pixel package..take it to sw wholesale n they will give u x amount of posters n flyers ..like say 300...150 goes to them n they put em in their account...u get the others...

u had boys cut out the mom n pops...n kept the 9500 n sold the cds themselves 8 a piece...76000 go back do the same deal..book shows and do the same thing on the road...152k easy

southwest started fukkin up...cats who were regulars...n making money started hustlin the connect..front me a package n i get back to u type shyt...southwest started losing money...their prices never changed but the clients get a buzz n get locked up n southwest never get the money owed..

n u had legit labels like suavehouse suckafree n cash money...taking loses because sw had to go bankrupt...those 3 labels were owed millions when southwest went under..

tony draper once they got the sony/relativity deal...he continued to use southwest...

if flip and cash money never signed a deal they would have been fukked like alot of labels...its was once 4000 labels in the south..southwest went under only a handfull remained

one label wreckshop records...fat pat esg big moe nem...dwreck fukked up ...interscope came calling due to esg shinin n grindin album..they messed that up

big moe was up next...he was sellin over 100k his debut..priority came...moe signed asap...wreck said the numbers 4 the label wasnt right...couple yrs later wreckshop dead...2005 when southwest went completely under they did too..
