Are we gonna act like this isn't a marketing strategy ?

Are we gonna act like this isn't a marketing strategy from Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/TDE ?

Are we gonna act like they didn't use the hottest rapper right now (Kendrick) for some Eminem promotion ? I'm not saying that Em needs promotion but this is way more effective than a tweet from Paul, that verse is even making headlines in the newspapers and this is getting more plays than Drake's official single lmao

Are we gonna act like Eminem isn't going to rap his freestyle over this same beat ?

Are we gonna act like the first rapper to respond isn't someone from Shady Records ? Are we gonna act like that shady records artist isn't getting played on the radio right now ? They only play the songs from Interscope on the radio :coffee:

Are we gonna act like The Game didn't delete a tweet where he said that Kendrick was going to ether a lot of rappers with a final diss track ?

Are we gonna act like this diss track won't feature Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock in order to get Schoolboy Q more buzz because his new single flopped ?

Are we gonna act like Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/TDE didn't win ?

I stopped reading after the first two sentences.


We promote better than any label ever could. They could release the album on Itunes right now and not say a thing. Just have it on the front page. And the internet would burst into flames. Every trend on twitter would be Eminem related.


So no, it wasn't some big conspiracy to help one of the highest selling artists of all time get hype, it was just a song.

I agree with you, fifflaren. If this is a marketing strategy, it would not only make sense, but it would be fucking GENIUS.

Or... could it be that Big Sean (Good Music / Def Jam) is releasing his album in 2 weeks, and felt that this might give him & his album a little extra publicity?

It's doing Big Sean more favours than anyone, so I don't see how Def Jam getting money fits into your hypothesis there.

the GOAT answa!!!

im pretty sure if eminem came out with his own line of #2 pencils they'd be the best seller. like anything he puts out WILL sell millions regardless of promotions or not. some one from shady records just has to mention it and it'll be famous.
