do you not see the obnoxious/stupid trend that seems to weave its way throughout the lives and actions of the individuals in question?

6/14/2008 12:39:01 PM

I think you are over thinking the situation.

some of my summer internship work requires me to work at the same power plant as my dad. his name is wayne. i am now referred to as lil wayne at work

wayne is his middle name and his first name is elvis, so sometimes i'm "E.J." for elvis junior

well its not like a soft rock album. its not john mayer. its not music to calm the soul. why would you promote it in a calm way. if the music is geared toward getting you excited and giving you energy, then the promotional advertisements should be handled in the same fashion.

you've obviously never been to a rap concert before. it's one person rapping and 20 other people with microphones screaming "YEAH!" or "UH HUH!"

I, I, I Don't know that you been told
But I can tell you something 'bout me
I smoke weed, I drink, and I roll
Now is you fucking with me
Now I can't tell shit 'bout the next man
But he ain't got nothing on me
Cause after a pill and half and a shot of Patrone, I'm a Pussy M.V.P.

It's "their" culture!

6/17/2008 12:09:30 AM

aren't these typically DJ's promoting the album in a large and noisy popular club in some city where this type of thing is conducive to the environment?

stop downloading illegal bootleg mixtapes if this annoys you?

^^Or maybe, just maybe, they do it because it works...



I mean, this type of advertising is prevalent in all industries, not just rap.

But congrats on being racist, guys.

^That or they're pretending to be in a loud, noisy place.

The OP mentions Lil Wayne and hip-hop in the same train of thought. I'm not fully sure why anyone even entertained this thread (this includes me).
