shots fired. A Trak calls Jay Z samsung ad corny. keepin it real

[aqualung]

its just an example of how the ad has little to do with the product advertised and tells you little about the overall plan of what's going on
...

Jay's ad was intended to drive internet traffic to the website and to notify black male hip hop heads. Mission accomplished.

Since when do consumers complain abt FREE products? Jay is giving away free albums that Samsung bought in your stead.

If you don't like don draperish ad trickery that promotes unknown products, by vague teasing, then yeah, the ad style was "corny." But it drove traffic to the website to promote FREE music. Rejoice, brethren!

Mike Jordan re-releases the same shoes like Jay-Z re-releases the same song themes abt black bar mitzbahs and new watch alerts. Difference this time: some Samsung users will get advance albums FREE.

--> aq out <--

This thread has gone way off track. SMH

lets look at the commercial for what it is.
it IS corny, and it IS contrived.
NONE of the dudes in that room would be there doing that sht IRL. Samsung paid to fly them in to do this spot. They weren't just hanging out workiin on Jay's album like that.
and that's part of the corniness of it.
Its made to look like something that it is NOT.

it's phoney.

BUT, at the end of the day it is just a commercial. meant to get ppl talkin about that product, and that is what ppl are doing.

A-Trak is right cause it was a corny commercial
but at the same time Samsung and Jay are doing it cause its working

Its all subjective the nikkas that like Jay will say it was dope the ones that don't fukk with him will say its corny. It did what it was supposed to do regardless your opinion so it served its purpose which isn't corny at all.

you can still serve a purpose and be corny and contrived

in fact 90% of commericals on TV are like that nowadays. and most if not all serve their purpose

thats how/why things go Viral

Lol same sh!t I was about to post. Why the FUKK would we know or care about who A-Trak is? Like i give a damn about his DJ'ing and winning "DMC" at age 15 like i'm less of a hip hop head for not knowing

 

[etrofllenrod504]

So you really believe that its impossible for Swizz Beatz, Timberland, Rick Rubin, Pharell, and Kanye (off screen) to be in the same room working on something for a couple of hours? These guys are probably all friends and kick it like any group of friends do.

What's corny about that?

You might not like Jay but that literally makes zero sense. Jay and Kanye were plastering all sorts of silly images on the web for watch the throne with all sorts of people in the room. Hell in this image below from Watch the Throne Pharell and Swiss are there

Yea I don't believe they were all there on their own

Having one or two of them there is one things but all of them there like that?

Naw, it was MADE to look like that

 

[jwinfield]

Not sure why it's impossible for a few producers/artists to be in the studio at one time...

Think about it though. For the most part these days are all really past their primes, have bread, and a ton of free time. What would stop them from getting together on a weekend to shoot the sh*t and make music?

I know there is corporate interest there from Samsung but it still isn't that far fetched when you think about it.

 

[MINT]

lmao

 

[DrX]

How the fukk y'all don't know A-Trak?

hm.....maybe because we aint hipsters

 

[desp]

hm.....maybe because we aint hipsters

A-Trak was Kanye's tour DJ, won multiple DJ competitions at a young age, and owns a record label... you ain't gotta be a hipster to know who he is

 

[wolfpoppa]

Nevermind the commercial, the name for the album is just plain corny. Might have well just called it... "my huge giant big dikk" or something to that affect.


I do like a decent amount of jay's stuff btw.
