Thank you for repeating what I've said over and over again.
"Hip-hop" artists do not receive a dime from "product placement", they just dont have the mental capacity to realize that "shouting" out a name on a record wont get them shi.t."
Do you have a overwhelming proof that record labels and artists alike aren't financially compensated for promoting a particular product?
Do you review legal contracts in the entertainment industry? Stop talkin out of your a$$ and show me proof.
"These othere high end products are associated with "moving up", the jones so these artists have the gratification of being perceived as wealthy by mentioning them."
That is your opinion, but you don't have a clue bout how tha industry works now do you?
"What multi-billion dollar corporation whether beverage or other would target or sue a single/multi "major record label". Theres no logic to that scenario trying to prove that Hip-Hop artists are making a huge impact and contribution to the sale of there products."
Its called royalties. Here in America, if you use someone's name illegally or put your face on their product without their knowledge you will be taken to civil court. You simply cannot do that. Its alot different here than it is in Canada.

Kid, I know for a fact D4L didnt receive a "royalty checks" for the "laffy Taffy" song
Who are u kidding, these artists straight from Compton wouldnt know the difference from a labels "advance" to banking off by coincedently mentioning Air force 1s 350 times in a track. Your saying all these hip-hop artists just happen to take a crash course in mrketing 101 thats why majority of them get pimped and left high and dry after there contract runs out.
Maybach, Ferrari, Lambos and mid-level Cadis, Mercedes, BMW probably wouldnt want to align themselves with "Hip-hop" on a mainstream level, besides the little campaigns they run with larger established artists, 50, Snoop, Diddy even then u got TI endorsing Ford
Simple recording artists that are not HEAVY WEIGHTS rarely ever receive major endorsement deals. Edorsements deals are not a primary focus with new artists and there labels especially hip-hop. Mainstream hip-hop glorifies luxury goods nothing bad about being a slave to items u never had and being able to afford them or make it seem that way.
Proof is not needed its evident if ur giving the powerless hip-hop artists more power then what they have then its u whose being fooled.
WTF does reviewing legal documents in entertainment have to do with the typical mind set of a Hip-Hop artists shouting out other peoples products and not receiveing "royalties" from it.
