The Daily Swarm reports the buzz is that there will be loads of layoffs at Interscope today, which isn’t that big of a surprise, what with the total collapse of the economy and the fact that the music industry has had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel for years now. One label A&R person reportedly describes it as “a bloodbath here today.” So, um…that can’t be good. For more, go here.

Well, Eminem/50/Dre are still signed technically, but the label hasn't had a big seller in awhile. |

A lot I guess...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Interscope_Records_artists |

Damn. I wonder if people at the label are blaming Dre and Eminem for losing their jobs. That is a lot of money that those two would generate if they ever came out with a new album. |
