"TIP.World" -- How's it said?

[Guest kingdok]

I've been a fan of TIP Records for a long time, but have never been totally clear if it's pronounced like "TIP" as in the tip of an iceberg, or (phonetically) "Tee-eye-Pee" like an abbreviation for The Infinity Project. Which is correct?

 

The reason I ask is because I've heard both used, but packaging seems to imply that it's one syllable, not three. "Let it rip with TIP." "Top of the TIPs" etc.

 

When TIP.World started up I figured "Tee-Eye-Pee dot World" was how you said it. But I've heard people say "Tip World" and "Tip dot World."

 

How do YOU say them?

I just say or 'tipworld' or simply 'tee-aai-pee' without the 'world'.....

 

doesn't matter

hehe, funny to see this thread showing up now .. i think i was discussing this with anoebis when i met up with him last friday but i have no clue how it should be pronounced either .. i usually just say tipworld ... but sometimes i say tee eye pee as well i don't think it really matters ..

I've never said Tee Eye Pee, always just said tipworld. Sounds better too...!

[soem aeld]

I say TIP, like tip

See, this is where it would be handy to have feedback from actual label founders/artists. Have any of those guys done interviews -- recorded interviews? I think there IS a correct way to say it, and that it does, in fact, matter.

if you check the interviews on Thumpradio, (the url is sth like thump-radio.com or whatever) probably they have recorded (i.e. in real audio) interviews with someone from TIP...and you'll hear how it is pronounced....i don't have the time to do it now, so if anyone is interested, give it a try

Tee Eye Pee (World) of course !!!
