Looking back at how Lil Jon packaged and released Trillville's album...

P. Town

The Album was called The King of Crunk & BME Recordings Present: Trillville with Lil Scrappy. Instead of releasing a Trillville album and a Lil Scrappy album, he put both they album's on one disc. The first 10 songs was Trillville's album and the last 10 was Scrappy's album. Both albums had 2 charting hits a piece in 'Neva Eva' and 'Some Cut' from Trillville and 'Head Bussa' and 'No Problems' from Scrappy, and the album went Gold.

My question is, do ya'll think it was a smart move looking back?
And should more folks consider doing their albums in this format? Like say the 100,000 artist signed to Young Money?

Niggas were lazy for doing that but other than that most of the tracks from that album were whip worthy @ the time!!!

Hell yeah its a smart move. Because either way he made a profit and sold em seperately later

that album went hard to be honest, you gotta have a system in the whip to appreciate though

I liked both sides It was a smart move for lil jon. it's just too easy these days to drop a mixtape than do a half/half album

but looking back that shit was pretty creative. i wonder how the money was split up tho


pimp c was not happy with them niggas

I hated that Bo Hagon never released a album tho

This.

Use to bump this album heavy back in the day

Black_Samson

didn't them shits come out as solo albums later?
that nigga knew what he was doing...

gotta remember, before that nigga got some crunk in his system, Lil Jon was a Geek...

Peezy_Jenkins

it was kinda different and kinda stood out, instead of pushing 1 artist over the other, he put the two hottest on bme out first, then had bohagon on tracks like he was up next, unfortunately, none of em sustained

That "Forever I Love Atlanta" track still bangs. That was off this album right?

it's still whip worthy.i was bumpin that neva eva a few days ago

south4life

I didn't understand why he did that and that started the beef with Scrappy and Trillville.

Lil Jon should have done it seperate and since they had 10 songs apiece, he should have added at least 3 more to make each a full album and he could have had two gold albums and made more money, I didn't get it?

Yeah. I still bang Scrap's joints off this album when I'm in the gym. F.I.L.A., No Problem, Head Bussa, and Be Real with some Three 6 will have you trying to bench press the building.
