Eminem made millions off his music because it was great, interesting and catchy. Musical artists don't create controversy if they're not interesting.
Yes it is an awful comparison. You pretty much said the value of education is nothing considering eminem has made so much money with little education.. IS that not what you meant by this remark?
So you spent "years at a university" learning all this advertising BS? Eminem spent 0 years, 0 days and 0 seconds being institutionally educated about advertising and has made millions off his products.
What does that say about the value of your education in advertising?
Oh reaaaaaally?! Marketing music is about appealing to a target audience? I had no idea. I wish I spent four years of my life going to lectures so I could learn stuff like this.
No one said I did.
No, he needs artists who make great, interesting and catchy music, period. If the music of Slaughterhouse/Yelawolf was all of these things (which it isn't...it doesn't tick a single box), then the "advertising machine" doesn't need to do much.
No one denies he need great artists. That does not change the fact that they should be doing better numbers on a label such as Shady Records. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of worse artists than yela and slaughterhouse that are doing much better numbers. This could be because of the type of music they make, yes. Acting as if the marketing machine plays no role in this is ridiculous.
You have people posting music videos on Youtube with virtually no money spent on advertising and they're getting more attention than Yelawolf, who has a large company shitting out money for him.
Exactly, so obviously they are not doing their jobs properly
