Sophia ChangGUEST
They're all West Indians.
Sophia ChangGUEST
And we came out of the Jive Records office and I said to Chip Foo, I said, oh, go get us a cab.
Sophia ChangGUEST
And he looked at me, he said, I can't get a cab, Sophia.
Sophia ChangGUEST
I said, what do you mean? He said, I'm a black man.
Nicole RaposoHOST
Anyway...
Nicole RaposoHOST
The issue included a short blurb explaining why NSYNC couldn't break up, and what it boiled down to was that the group still owed Jive Records another three albums on their contract.
Nicole RaposoHOST
It was a very teen magazine kind of reassurance, a contractual explanation that was probably soothing to the more anxious readers.
Nicole RaposoHOST
It sort of treats the contract as if it were a safeguard against things like... interpersonal differences or creative divergence, or even a safeguard against any of the individual ambitions that different members were already showing.
Lil JonGUEST
And I would do as many beats as I can.
Lil JonGUEST
So this was for Jive Records.
Lil JonGUEST
This was Jive Records at the time.
Lil JonGUEST
And they booked me doing mystical beats.
Lil JonGUEST
So I'm doing beats for mystical.
Persis AbrahamHOST
She had a vision for Blackout.
Persis AbrahamHOST
The album's title, by the way, Jive Records said it was about blocking out negativity and embracing life fully, which, given the year she had had, definitely hits a little differently.
Persis AbrahamHOST
So let's get into how the album got made.
Persis AbrahamHOST
Britney was the executive producer.
Lil JonGUEST
Somehow Petey Pablo.
Lil JonGUEST
Well, the beats were done for Jive Records.
Lil JonGUEST
I would go in the studio and I make a bunch of beats and the label puts them on whoever they want.
Lil JonGUEST
So I didn't when Mystical didn't pick it, I thought it was dead.
Jeff SledgeGUEST
But going to Wild Pitch, I mean, to Christmas actually was my first kind of step into the arena.
Eddie O'LoughlinGUEST
But Jeff, do I remember you being at Jive Records?
DJ EclipseHOST
Yeah, that came after.
DJ EclipseHOST
We're not there yet.
Lil JonGUEST
A friend of mine gave some beats to Sean Garrett, the writer of, of yeah.
Lil JonGUEST
And then the sessions for mystical were done for jive records.
Lil JonGUEST
So jive technically had there with their beats because not their beats, but they had kind of first right to the beats.
Lil JonGUEST
So yeah, Petey is signed to Jive Records.
Lil JonGUEST
So Petey got the tracks and shout out to this guy named C.O.
Lil JonGUEST
He wrote on Freaker League too.
Dan CumminsHOST
This is Lou's fifth blimp crash that resulted in an insurance claim.
Dan CumminsHOST
The following year, in early 1995, Mercury's A&R manager, David McPherson, or McPherson, excuse me, being courted by another label, Jive Records.
Dan CumminsHOST
Oh, man, they were a fucking powerhouse at this time.
Dan CumminsHOST
Jive was the label side of a music publishing company called Zamba, founded by South African music entrepreneur Clive Calder in the 1970s.
Dan CumminsHOST
Clive, today, worth about $10 billion.
Dan CumminsHOST
Largely thanks to Jive having so many huge acts signed in the 90s, including Backstreet Boys, McPherson went over to Jive to help them round out their pop music catalog and make the label more appealing to the European market.
Dan CumminsHOST
In May of 95, Jive brought Lou and the boys, together with AJ's mom, Denise McLean, out to New York to sign a contract, one already approved by a lawyer hired by Perlman.
Dan CumminsHOST
Perlman and the lawyer added a few non-standard clauses to the record deal that would come up in court years later.
ScottHOST
But more likely that without the band to promote the song, it was deemed to likely be a flop.
ScottHOST
And so Jive Records decided not to put it out and ruin their run of consecutive five singles.
ScottHOST
Which, happy that they did that.
ScottHOST
If, you know, from that perspective.
ScottHOST
Please don't.
ShaneHOST
Please don't.
ShaneHOST
The track listing included the WIP Megamix, for which Jive Records made a video clip for that aired exclusively on MTV.
ShaneHOST
That Megamix would eventually be included on the 5678 The Collection, which was released in 2015, as well as the extended version of Gold Greatest Hits in February 2020.
Paul KatzGUEST
Um, so for me it was really important to have the control, and, you know, as my background, um, originally is, is, is in mus- music, in the music industry, and I, I... law and all that kind of stuff.
Paul KatzGUEST
It, it was part of a record company called Jive Records.
Paul KatzGUEST
Intellectual property's important.
Paul KatzGUEST
I like to own my intellectual property, whereas you don't with a, a, um, a, a traditional publisher.
