guess who's still bitching about autotune

lol my guess was gonna be "sean price"

haha sean price >>>

sean is the awesome u madd

It's Damian not Damien Marley, and I'll defend it on the '10 poll campaigning thread. I think there's maybe one good song each on the Eminem and Kid Kudi albums, but otherwise I agree so far.

Sorry, Cudi! I am a hypocrite.

that album had a bunch of Kid Kudi Klassics IMO

oh c'mon it's a commercial, let the dude get a check or two

Auto-Tune isn't the problem, Murs. You are.

Yeah, I'm not mad at him doing a commercial. I'm mad that he DOESN'T HAVE AN ALBUM OUT YET.

im mad that its a corny commercial & that its shilling for mountain dew of all things. yeesh

i don't really want to get into this, but how is it worse to shill for mountain dew than vodka

if yr gonna DROP KNOWLEDGE & be all I AM THE PROPHET RAPPER then shilling for sugar water directly linked to the rise in obesity that incidently disproportionately affects poor ppl & POC? ehhh

it just undercuts the entire message

diddy has never claimed to be a prophet
im cool w/ ice cube repping for st ides

but if chuck d did it id be like, huh?

get the fuck outta here with POISONING OUR POOR

let those barely successful rappers that have turned down endorsement deals cast the first stone

t/s: encouraging people to buy $1 beverages vs encouraging people to buy $89 pairs of jeans

& anyway comparing him to chuck d is nonsense -- he's not the dude from the coup

ehh. its corny to me. it contradicts his image. if he hadnt set himself up as some sort of mystical everyman prophet here to save rap then maybe i wouldnt be all 'wtf' -- i expect, like, wiz khalifa to do mountain dew commercials. q-tip, even. at least when nike used mos def it didnt seem like such a blatant pandering maneuver

who is trying to convince ppl to buy 89 dollar jeans? who cares? waste money however you want
do u want me to bring out diabetes statistics

lol who is trying to convince ppl to buy $89 jeans? oh idk, any rapper ever that has started a clothing line

should we talk about alcoholism

dude you're totally missing the point here

it's kind of amazing how wack as fuck jay elect has been since exhibit c

if mos def starts shilling jeans, i would be like "what the fuck???"

its how you set yourself up that matters w/ endorsements. if jacka gets into a gap commercial with common ill be like, 'fuck this'

it's one thing to criticize him for undercutting a persona (legit) it's another to single him out for being detrimental to his community, cuz then you're bordering on the arguments ppl made against jeezy/clipse/cam'ron circa 2005

anyway i think you're overselling his image -- the dude's always been kicking around w/ diddy & the like -- obv part of his selling point was like "the conscious gangster!" or w/e but he's not krs or something

Can't we separate rappers from their endorsement deals? I don't give a fuck what a rapper does outside the booth, as long as it's not beat up Rihanna.

hes overselling his image & so are his fans
hes like the savior of real rap & hes making really goofy & poorly staged commercials
i wouldnt even be mad if it was at least well done.

& no this isnt the same as getting mad at jeezy or clipse, although um there are legit criticisms to be made of those artists & particularly the way they are received, but jeezy never pretends to be anything more than he is -- there's no JAY ELECHAUNUKAH type mystical propheticism to his shit -- he brings exactly as advertised. if he started shilling for mountain dew it would be weird too!

50 cent managed to do this kind of endorsement right, btw

jordan i cant believe youre defending this corny-ass commercial

if u want to be a SMART BRINGING UP THE YOUTH rapper then stop advertising for sugar water

imo

there are legit criticisms to be made of those artists

i agree -- but were you making them??

you're still conflating the two arguments tho

i'm not defending the commercial itself -- i couldn't even make it thru the whole thing

i'm defending the dude's decision to take a check from mtn dew

if yr gonna sell out do it in a way that doesnt conflict w/ your message & ideas imo

that might be hard unless the dude selling wood jesus pieces is buying commercial air time

can we just marvel over how much worse the mountain dew beat is than the original production on that track
it really underlines the mumbo-jumbo ness of the lyrics

what's the og track?

i blame BOB

i get so confused every time i open this thread and try to understand the first few posts all over again. deej defines "swag nerds" as people that buy new eminem albums?
