RIP TVT

TVT Filing Chapter 11, Staff Fired -- AllHipHop.com

I have no real nostalgic connection to TVT, so while this is definitely sad news, it's nothing I'm going to wax poetic about as a sign of the times in the music industry.

I've been reading that indies are on the upswing -- some of the deals they're offering to artists are even more sketchy than majors. But maybe you have to be an indie formed in the past couple of years to be on the upswing rather than an indie suffering through 20+ years of this crazy business.
