Album promotion

[_That_Cracka_J]

Really, what's up with album promotion lately?  It's not just the west coast I'm talking about (although west is almost 0 promotion now), but it seems to be all rap albums.  The Source and XXL mainy have clothing ads now.  I don't know if this is mainly record labels' faults or magazines just not wanting to run them, but this has got to be affecting hip hop sales.

ads in mags don't do shit anyways, you know how many ads you see for whack ass rappers like White Dawg, and shit like that...like some picture is going to make a record sale, it's al the radio and tv that the sales come from
