I worked in the music industry in Houston for over 10 years and I worked at Southwest Wholesale for 3 years. I witnessed 100 percent of what Robert spoke about in this interview. Great times, great people, tons of stories. Great interview Donnie. This is my favorite podcast.
I as well worked there 3+ yrs... it's true just wished he'd gotten into why swhs shut down besides the market change...he didn't want to get into that... i worked returns dpt and puller/packer 99-02
@@jarvisclinton I think you gotta be a certain type of person to handle working with so many rap and hip-hop artists in the South. Robert will probably never tell us exactly how things went down. When you're involved in record labels or distribution, they're are some things people just don't wanna talk about....
Man that’s crazy you got him on for a interview good look !! Great interview ,, dude was a big influence on the independent music scene back in the day !!
Bro you gotta be really deep with this Htown shit to get SW wholesale on here. Thats wuz up bro, man i appreciate your content, you got some real jewels on here. Man they sleeping on you
Love the content Donnie. Being a young guy from Europe, I was too late to experience 90's / 00's Houston / Texas rap while it was happening. Content like this makes me feel like I was there and helps me put the pieces together. 🙌
I’m not from Houston, but it’s really cool to see the hard work and effort you put into learning and preserving your city’s culture. Cool to hear his point of view.
Thank you for all you have done for the artist and music of the southwest region. I appreciate all you did for me personally. What an amazing mentor. Thank you sir from one half of M.U.C.H. POSSE, Pain, Painkilla and now IamPastorChris
thanks for the videos.i delt with robert at southwest wholesale he distributed my first cd.he's a great guy.he told me how to get my cd in the stores myself from then on i did it myself thanks robert peace.
Yungsta was a talented dude..He made that wana be a baller track what it was Without him it wouldn't have gone as far as it did It sucks for us as fans that we didn't get to see much more from him after that track He had that album on straight profit but he could've done much more The dude had the potential to be one of the greats He should make a comeback..It's never too late 🙏✊
Just came to watch this after u posted the short on ig didnt know u had him on gotta check this out and rip to a pivotal person in the houston rap scene
I've always wanted to see a real H Town culture movie. This sounds like you could really link everybody through Southwest Wholesale in a movie. #BookIt
I use to buy all my 💿 from southwest whosale on Bissonnet n Dairy Ashford. All the new shit was there the day before. I was in the 6th grade the first time I went into their store n was a customer until they closed
@@WHATYOUKNOWTV ok I'm 32, yeah I was 11 in 99' but in East tx I was forced to shop at hastings and Sam goody. Wasn't no Southwest in Tyler and Longview.
That wasn't southwest wholesale. They were a distributor, they did not sell retail, they had a office near the medical center. I believe you are talking about lions den over there in that area
SAY DONNIE, THESE INTERVIEWS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE THE HOUSTON CULTURE🍿🎖️🥉🏆🔥💯🍾🍺🍻🥇🏅😎🏆🧨💯🥈💥👏🏾👊🏾 I JUST WISHED R.P COLA WAS STILL ALIVE TO GET THAT STORY BECAUSE HE WAS ALSO A CORNER STONE IN THE HOUSTON CLUB AND RADIO SCENE
That's who shot my cover when I was with Shut em down records. Donnie checc my resume I need to get on your show. 32 yrs in and still doin my thang. I came up rapping with essays like Rasheed so that's my main fans
lol, those were the days... no mention of sww distributing to belgium, norway, australia and shit... i dont understand what a "digital distributor" is... ppl with a catalog like all the folks he worked with in the 90's can deal directly with itunes and eliminate the middleman
Who is ice water slaughter. I heard a friend of mines reference that name whenever he was talking about something cool “That shit was ice water slaughter”
Does any one else agree that ol' Robert was being real cagey and careful about his answers? He was letting Donnie ask the questions AND fill in most of the gaps! I'm sure it's because Robert dealt with some pretty tough and scary individuals in the Southern rap scene and not all of them loved him...
@matthewprince9705 I knew him well. When he talked about " I THINK the leader of the group M.U.C.H Posse got incarcerated " Robert DIDN'T THINK BUT HE knew I went to jail for murder. He wasn't being cagey, not really. Respectfully, He was respecting everyone's privacy on the details of their life. He was just a great, loyal Man who protected those he cares about.
Dh checc my resume. Big C. U can ask Lil Young bout me. I been in the game 32 yrs but I came up with the essays so my #1 fan base is mexican. Get me on the show bruh. Like I said I started rapping in the 80s. First group in 92. Big C The Og

RIP Robert. Great times working at SW Wholesale in the 90s
Kind of funny he doesn’t know the phone number but he knows the website address. Shows how we all change with technology.
This is fascinating. Great episode
Best interviews

@thReedtRiangle RNDS lmao u beat me to it
He on locc right now
Said madanna wanted to sign youngsta!!!!!!
wow
Madonna+ Yungstar😁😁let me find out that Madonna a screw head🤘🏽🤘🏽
You would be surprised how many in the industry saw how big would be before it blew up.....
Screw had respect in the industry. Usually when an artist came to Houston they would wanna meet screw and get some of his music
Yungsta was a talented dude..He made that wana be a baller track what it was
Without him it wouldn't have gone as far as it did
It sucks for us as fans that we didn't get to see much more from him after that track
He had that album on straight profit but he could've done much more
The dude had the potential to be one of the greats
He should make a comeback..It's never too late
🙏✊
Just came to watch this after u posted the short on ig didnt know u had him on gotta check this out and rip to a pivotal person in the houston rap scene
Straight up, my Mom told me about that “On Fondren” song. Please do a story on the Rhinestone Wrangler.
Robert was brilliant

Did they have their own manufacturing plant at South west whosale
Pen and Pixel just happened to be the biggest. They also did cash money and no limit covers
Southwest Wholesale🔥🔥🔩💯🤘💿
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interview the owners or the employees of BCD Music Group. They picked up where Southwest Wholesale abruptly left off.
MAN MYTH LEGEND!
I've met him twice, extremely nice guy. When you first talk to him you wouldn't realize he had such a big spot in Houston hip hop history
Are they still around? 2022?? Might look them up
How can i get in contact with him southwest digital
Lol "they couldn't do that" = bro you signing shit or you gotta move around. Lol solid white dude
Do you have contact info for Robert Guillerman? My label was signed under SW Wholesale back in '98
Pen and Pixel did our covers

lol, those were the days... no mention of sww distributing to belgium, norway, australia and shit... i dont understand what a "digital distributor" is... ppl with a catalog like all the folks he worked with in the 90's can deal directly with itunes and eliminate the middleman
I never thought of a bold move like that
Rip chucky trill. His dad d don’t get the credit he deserves for being a pioneer in the game. U gotta get him or ice water slaughter on here
Who is ice water slaughter. I heard a friend of mines reference that name whenever he was talking about something cool “That shit was ice water slaughter”
Him and D was the group Trinity Garden Cartel
Where is Robert. I need to talk to him

THOUGHT TRINITY GARDEN CARTEL WERE RAP-A-LOT ?
They only did one album with Rap-A-Lot then they went back to Southwest Wholesale.
TGC never signed 📝 everything was done on a hand shake. 🤘🏽👌🏽🚩.
hpd sued rap-a-lot for their album cover so they had pull the 📀 & redid the cover. 🤘🏽👌🏽🚩.
Yep I still got the OG Pen & Pixel cover that doesn't have the police faces blurred out.
I got both. 🤘🏽👌🏽🚩.
