Consequence on LHHNY was horrible publicity

If you end being the most un likable character on the show there is chance you are going to gain any fans for your music
He fukked up big time on that one. Dude is forever salty though

I forget who said it... but they said that airtime is like a commercial for your brand. If you get a chance to sell your brand to America why would you take that time to slap nikkas up :snoop: MFers dont think

But yea thats another good example. I would say reality shows in general

Never heard the song or rocko before...I thought the song was lil waynes track

:rudy:everyone knows this song



You are right, and what's crazy is nobody ever gives a fukk about the nikkas who live/lived what they rap about and can actually rap their ass off

Neither one of those things means the rapper can actually make good music

thank you..

this the most you heard about anything Rocko related, in a minute.. last 2 projects, came and went..

This is true, I know ppl who hadnt heard the song until the controversy popped. Didnt really care about the controversy and started fukking with the song.

Just what I was gonna say.

That LHHNY wasn't a good look for any of em. Can't tell them that tho cuz 100% of the people on the show are acting like they stars and are severely deluding themselves. The fall off will be harsh and I wouldn't be surprised if the Erica Mena bird has a sextape pop up.

Only person who benefitted from tha trash that is LHH is .....hmmm.....still thinking, lol.

he was talking about keeping the original the "street" record, and dropping another..

realistically, there's not many people he could throw on there that folks would be checking for another version.. outside Drake, Jay or Wayne.. it really wouldn't make a dent in anything outside "street".. really no sense doing 2 street versions, but you never know with these folks..

As long as your being talked about it's a good thing. When people stop talking that is when you need to be worried.

Yea we will see if he breaks any bread off of this... features, appearances, commercials...

Having people say your name isn't an automatic win, esp when its tied to controversy. Feminists prob the scopes on him now too
Song officially broke into the Top 40 this week at #38 ...

The Hot 100 : Page 4 | Billboard

it's officially a bonified hit record and the single biggest song of Rocko's career, thanks to no small part all the publicity and hype made over the rape-lyric controversy ...the biggest hit of his career, that he's currently touring the country off the strength of...Rocko won

Someone in another thread hit me with the :rudy: when I said Rocko isn't going to eat off this controversy. He isn't. Officer Ricky finna lose $10-15Ms now they're saying. :shaq:

There are plenty of instances where rappers names were buzzing for terrible reasons

Ice T when Coco went dikk hunting

Ras Kass "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE"

Camron "Get my pool in the back"

40 Gloccccccccc "Look at 40 Glocc yall! Check him out!!!"

The whole Mobb Deep break up make up

Breezy/Rihanna durin all a dem FOCKERY

Joe Budden getting beat the fukk up

You nikkas gotta be nuts to think all publicity is good. Can anyone explain how any of these people benefited from any of that shyt`

I agree that not all publicity equals good publicity. It's just another stupid saying like "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" or "god don't like ugly".

This is absolutely a case of all publicity being good publicity for Rocko, Ross not so much

It was just a random mixtape song that became the most talked about song in hip hop for a couple of weeks, and he got none of the blowback from it...and a bunch of ink and media runs about who he's gonna replace Ross with and all that...

How can all publicity be good publicity for one person and not the other? :ohlawd:

It cracked the top 40? It has to be due to the controversy. The song bangs but it's as street of a record as you can get, White ppl really fukkin with this record like this?
