SONY Tries To Trick Fans Into Buying Music

| 663 Comments

Do you blog, have lots of friends at your MySpace page, and love music?

If yes, then SONY wants to hire you to promote their artists online. All you have to do is lie to your blog readers and MySpace friends about how much you enjoy the Omorion and J.Lo records.

As Grand Good pointed out, it seems from the ad that SONY wants to use fake fans to create buzz for their artists. I wonder - what blogger who's savvy enough to build up their own following online is also stupid enough to sell out their credibility for an unpaid promo gig?

SONY would be better served by finding the existing fans online who love their artists. Contact those kids, and ply them with free junk and exclusives. It's not that hard to do.

Instead when labels like SONY try to cheat their way into the net community, they get bloggers like me, him, him, and him cracking jokes on them.

This should serve as a lesson to any media company who wants to harris their way into blogging, with no respect for the community. They'll bite 'cha.

ya and i just heard thier stocks dropped 4 percent 2 day.

I'd Hit That

THATS THE ONLY WAY DMX WILL SELL 2 COPIES OF HIS UPCOMING TRASH ALBUM


ps. get at me dawg, woof! woof!

I hear G-Unit is doing the same thing...

Isn't that what G-Unit does with the dude Shakeem that be on this website?

But somebody also told me that Shakeem is really Tony Yayo.

I don't know, but that's what I heard.

Hashim,

Could you please tell me why these other bloggers insist on creating topics that cause nothing but controversy? It seems like every week I see a "NY vs. The South" blog or "NY hip hop has fell off" blog. I'm not going to name them but there are two bloggers who are good for that. Well fuck it Sohh Fresh and Irreverent do it alot. Sohh Fresh isn't as bad as Irreverent. You don't have to go into to detail but do the bloggers "benefit" from the amount of comments posted?

Yeah Sony just got sued for using "payola" ...paying radio stations and DJ's to play an artists music even though noone was requesting it...artists to benefit from payola were j.lo, simple plan and a few more...so I can believe they would do some shit like this

GO and cop REMY MA, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT REMY: BASED ON A TRUE STORY the girl is sick the illest chick in the game right now! HER flow is BONKERS and she spits harder than most niggas. you need that in ur life. im just a real fan.

I hate Sony but I love George Bush.

Did you guys hear the new Omarion? It's awesome! I think it's the best album of all time. Move over Michael Jackson, Omarion is here to stay!!!

Ps. I hate you Brian Gritty!

Okay I can't lie I was paid to promot 'lil Bow-wow's new joint. That album got 5 mics, it has the illest Calabos like da brat and J-Kwon. Its a classic, cauz Sony hits me off with them checks

LMAO @ chevy g. hustle, you took the motherfuckin words out my mouth (No Homo). I think 41 cent (50 - 1 cent for each bullet he ate) borrowed a quarter from Shakeem, and he tryin like hell to get that shit back with %9000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 interest.

That annoying nigga Funkmaster Flex on that payola shit too, prick nigga, and u can believe some Interscope artists benefit from that shit.

the new mobb deep album bloodmoney coming out next month, go pick it up, i heard its hot

Let me just get oooooone thing straight- u said SONY isn't paying these kids to promote their artists? An "unpaid" gig? Seeing as how $ makes the world go round, and makes ppl do almost anything, who the hell in their right mind would even consider that?

That's no where near a damn internship.

There goes SONY with their dumb practices again.

Hey laffy taffy is popping in the hood. And us southerners write smart lyrics.

* Not that all internships need to be paid, you simply need to be learning sooomething, developing some skill.

the predicted cost of manufacturing the PS3 is set to be at around $900, thats why the stocks dipped.

I LOVE THE IRONY OF THIS HEADING ~ you know tricks get paid.

It figures. What I want to say to the kiddie boos: listen, there are actual companies that will PAY for your "skills", why do it for free? What have we learned about people who give it up for free? You're ALL Whoars! Even FIENDS get paid for their "services". Don't be an industry ho, comin' out da relationship wit a wet ass and no money. I think I will find your mothers and let them know their lil boys are taking it RAW no Grease.

whats a whoar?

SONY Tries To Trick Fans Into Buying Music..

THATS NOT TRUE

Go and get that moob deep "Blood money"
THE G-UNIT TAKEOVER!!!!!

Just when I said most of these blogs dont interest me - Thanks SOHH!

This is my translation:

"What blogger whos savvy enough to build up their own following online, is also smart enough to preserve their credibility for an unpaid promo gig"?
I'll take that charge!

It still causes quite a ruckus -
Translation - They on my a$$.

Look out for one of my fav. artist's new album next season:

Artist Name on the dl(squig latin) +#$ @*M{} - Thanks to some SOHH bloggers for actually directing me to the said artist, your trash became my treasure.

Man the things people do to make NYC artist sell! I remember when Ny was number one now they are rolled up lil doo doo balls! Man it feels good to be in the south! It's warm here already! NYC is one rodent away from the whole island sinking I just got back from there yesterday and dont let them brooklyn niggas fool yall they aint just bustin niggas heads for livin like they say they was on some humble buy a CD from a nigga type stuff!

Why do I sense that the only reason this is even coming to light.... deals with the fact that bloggers are getting nothing in return? I find it Ironic that most bloggers at one point and time try shoving artist down our throats like Mtv is famous for doing. This site can be found guilty of the same charge, considering you guys had a banner of D.4.L and are sponsored by labels and artists marketing teams.

How you like them apples?

EVERY BLOG ON SOHH ALWAYS TURN OUT TO BE A G-UNIT BLOG NO MATTER WHAT THE TOPIC IS. ITS ALL GOOD THOUGH I REMEMBER HOW WHEN ROCAFELLA USED TO TO GET THE SAME HATE WHEN THEY USED TO BE ON TOP

Rugby players spend a lot of time physical training Compared to other form of sports.I have read the
Rugby laws mentioned on this site. It's a gripping sport which targets the grip strength and the active mindedness of a player. American football and rugby league are also primarily collision sports, but their tackles tend to terminate much more quickly. For professional rugby, players are often chosen on the basis of their size and apparent strength and they develop the skill and power over the passage of time. In modern rugby considerable attention is given to fitness and aerobic conditioning as well as basic weight training.
