rkfoster8 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Apparently the band fabricated re-tweets from various celebrities promoting their new DVD. http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1960962 Article about the backlash from it. And now apparently there's a stir this may be the end for them as they're playing their last show "EVER" in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecream Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 i know this is just a reason to talk shit but kanye WAS helping bring hip hop back now he's just contributing to the bullshit autotune garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankmurphy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 If hip hop is going to be saved, its not gonna be the million-dollar MTV rap stars that do it. They're the ones who killed it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnypuncher Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Kanye>ETIDHis G.O.O.D. Friday releases have been so awesome. Seconded HARD. Anyone who's still sweating him for the autotune stuff automatically shows they don't know what they're talking about. 808s & Heartbreak came out 2 years ago, which in the hip hop world is like a decade.

hankmurphy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Where did hip-hop go that it needs to be brought back? Into the pocket of the music industry. Most mainstream media wouldn't play rap until they started rapping about money and how to spend it. And any hip hop artists with something worth saying still get no airtime.

zac Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Seriously though, if anyone hasn't checked out the 10 singles Kanye has put out for the G.O.O.D. Friday thing, it's some of his best stuff. It makes me so excited for his new album, he has the best guest spots too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittenmittons Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 this shit is so stupid. the second I saw them doing this on twitter and they hit kanye west i was like OH SHIIIIII----- like you could just SEE this coming. that pompous, self important douche isn't trying to give ANYONE free advertising. i thought it was a fun gimmick and if i was a celebrity i'd just LOL and say "nice job manipulating twitter to sell dvds guise! WELL PLAYED." seriously, have other bands/celebs done this to promo stuff? i thought it was pretty ingenious. i hope they sell a fuck ton of dvds to pay the court costs and shit.

rkfoster8 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Keith said Jimmy Fallon took it well. I mean, how can one be so arrogant and go so far as to file a lawsuit against this? I mean really, if he cares about his image so much this isn't the way to go about helping it. I'd love to see that whole band in court btw. The judge would have his hands full.
