TVT Records, former home of Nine Inch Nails and current home of Lil Jon and The Polyphonic Spree, has fired most of its employees in anticipation of filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. While many observers will probably chalk this up as another sign of how far the record industry has fallen, I think the more pertinent question is what will happen with Lil Jon’s Crunk Rock? A tearful nation awaits the answer.

you beat me to posting this. the spree has such bad luck with labels, poor kids. all 25 of ‘em.
Any record company that has the intelligence to have NIN on their client list and then sign somebody that has an album cover that embodies the image that this cover does probably deserves what it gets in this matter. However, it is a shame that a record label of this size is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It definitely shows the sorrowful shape of the music industry at this point. Piracy has a lot to do with this, I guarantee it. Of course, I’m drunk, and none of this may make any sense.

I find it so telling that “crunk rock” can very easily be shortened to “crock.”
