Selling Weed to Sell Records
Naming your record label after the drug trafficking gang that funded it is a bad idea, especially when they’re responsible for 12 murders and moving a million dollars of weed per week for 7 years. Whoever thought people wouldn’t make the connection between John Shop Crew, the murderous drug dealers, and John Shop Records, the reggae label, is a fool. It’s interesting that John Forte, producer for the Fugees, worked with John Shop. He’s currently serving 14 years for trafficking thirty pounds of liquid cocaine. [NYDN]
