Whichever label it is will be doing it strictly for clerical honors (a k a, collecting and distributing the dough), since Def American handles all the marketing and promotion. WEA President Henry Droz, insisting late last week that the largest American-owned record conglomerate is not concerned with "The Geto Boys" lyrical content, announced that the album will be handled by one of the WEA-distributed labels, though exactly which one may not be decided by the time the album is shipped Friday. Records, the "W" in WEA (the other labels are Elektra and Atlantic). bought Geffen Records earlier this year for $545 million in stock, but the label continues to be distributed by Warner Bros. But, Bridenthal said, Def American has been going further and further in pushing the taste envelope and "because we believe both in artistic freedom and the freedom to choose the direction of our company, we felt it would be most constructive to encourage Rick Rubin to find a manufacturer-distributor with a greater affinity for the direction of his label." "We find ourselves increasingly at odds with Def American's creative philosophy," said Geffen spokeswoman Bryn Bridenthal, pointing out that in the past Geffen (home of Guns N'Roses) had removed its own logo from Def American releases it considered offensive, including recent releases by Clay and heavy metal acts Danzig and Slayer. Geffen on Monday terminated its manufacturing and distribution deal with Def American over what it said were philosophical differences.

It was Geffen that pulled the plug on "The Geto Boys" in August. The album has been picked up for distribution by WEA, which, ironically, distributes Geffen Records. “The idea is to do that in a way that gives students a vocabulary, grammar, ideas and concepts that will allow them to think about and work on related issues within their own context."The Geto Boys," the rap album on the Def American label that Andrew Dice Clay's record company refused to distribute because of its glamorized violence and graphic sexual imagery, is headed for stores this week. “This course takes two important cultural developments in human history and looks at their points of commonality and their differences,” Anothony Pinn, Bun’s co-lecturer said on Rice University’s web page. Last yer, the rapper born Bernard Freeman also teamed with New Era for a Houston hat collection, and in 2015 he served as a lecturer of Hip-Hop and Religion at Rice University. In addition to Bun’s prolific rap career, the 44-year-old rapper is also the host of Trill Meals cooking show. This week, the veteran rapper linked with a couple of Houston’s finest, Lil Keke and Slim Thug, for the album’s first single, “Knowhatimsayin.” With hard snares and synths blaring over the instrumental, Bun, Don Ke and Slim Thug salute Houston’s culture of candy paint and old school slabs. Port Arthur, TX native Bun B is prepping his forthcoming album Return of the Trill.
