Fergie to get paid to incorporate Candies into her songs...

The Future of the Music Business? Be careful what you ask for....

What's the world coming to?

Well, they can't get paid to sell records anymore because nobody's buying. It's a little funny, actually. We get down on pop stars for taking money that we would never dream about walking away from. At the same time, we steal the product they should be making money off of and find reasons to justify why we're entitled to the free music but they're not entitled to make profits.

Looters.

the article says Fergie is the first (wow, what a trailblazer).


so what are the examples of Prince and Paul doing this?

In a next future, all the people who shitted constantly on major labels will regret the good old days, when artists used to sell millions of CDs without putting ads in their songs.

i don't know. i was wondering about that too.

the first time he ever mentioned a brand in a
song was imo "Evian" in "Blue Light".

after that there have been several mentions of
products in his songs but i can't really think
of any.

i think "Fritos" in "The Good Life" remix

"Crystal" (or whatever that shit is called) in
"Illusion Coma Pimp & Circumstance"

i'm sure there's plenty more

for any of these though.
