This. like why the fuck do they do it? It pisses me off :angry:


It's business.

If they're placing products that'll mean those companies are probably funding the videos.

So business-wise, it probably makes sense for the label to show a close-up on the odd watch or car, to have the video paid for. Rather than spending, however much videos cost to make, themselves.

theres a fuck load of advertising in here, em's watch, the dre beats, the crysler at the end, the piano bruno is using (i doubt you guys care about that bit but... i had to say it)

the product placement sucks but are you all saying you wouldnt have done it if you were in em's position? it makes more money, and the song is aimed at a wider audience than most of *em's music (*bad meets evil), so 90% of the people who watch it will know fuck all about rap, so will not realise just how bad the product placement really is. Not saying i agree with it, just saying i understand it.

The latest Em videos seem to be very high budget too. You either get videos with product placement, or you get Lil B' type videos. :laughing:

No, it's not. But they made his hair look blonde with ligtening, not paint. But it is supposed to be old Em.
We already said that :shakehead:

But, like someone said it looks blonde. So.... it doesn't really matter how they did it.

I didn't say they used paint lol. No point in going back and forth about this though.

On another note, who really cares about the product placement? It's not like a one second closeup of some headphones is going to ruin the entire thing. It is pretty obvious, but you don't really have to pay that much attention to it.

Still waiting for it to show up on iTunes, by the way.

at the beginning, of course Em is younger and he wears his clothes xxl and his blonde hair, he has no chain either, after we see it on him when he is in the basement. Superb video, Bruno Mars really has a beautiful voice.

:y:
I'm out of the matrix and I improved my music taste here, I opened my eyes and discovered so different ways to see the world, thanks to you all!
