fuck Interscope/Geffen/A&M Recordsfuck Aftermathfuck Monsterfuck dr.drefuck Aftermath Cognac& fuck Detox
You can buy the cognac, the headphones but not the new album. GREAT MARKETING
Great. Maybe fans can get drunk now and forget about DETOX. I wonder if this new drink will get pushed back as well.
I wonder how long it took Dre to mix the cognac.
I think Dre and Jimmy have figured out that no one can download headphones or cognac for free, so therefore probably way better business ventures

How can you market something to someone using an artist who hasn't released an album in over 10 years?Only die-hards like us will actually follow a producer and know his credits, especially when no one buys cds anymore or reads the album credits.Think about it; what new fan knows what the fuck Aftermath is? Who has come out on Aftermath lately, Eminem? That's it. Everyone else gets dropped so again, you can only market this shit to older fans, not new ones. If I walked up to a random group of people between 20-30 I bet maybe 5% or less would know what Aftermath is.
Yeah, ONLY Eminem, who is like the biggest rapper on the planetAnd Dr Dre is one of those big names, everyone knows as being a big producerIt's like if the Beatles came out with their own headphone line, who is gonna be like, "who are the Beatles?" - the name is already big, it doesn't need to become "relevant"
