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

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.

It's "their" culture!

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?[Edited on June 17, 2008 at 12:25 AM. Reason : redunancy]

^^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.[Edited on June 17, 2008 at 12:25 AM. Reason : ...]

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).
