Chrysler Wants Em To Star In More Commercials?

[EminemBase]

^ how do u kno Em doesnt like ice tea ? loool how do u kno he liked the concept of the ad and the fact the the only other ppl to ever do it was Ozzy Osbourne & Frank Sinatra..?? why wud his ONLY motivation be money if he has millions of it ???

lol just cos ur a DIE hard Eminem fan doesnt mean u kno him personally

I don't KNOW that, but I think it's naive to assume he seriously did that ad because he loves the ice tea so much. He's very shrewd, he's well-aware of what a sell-out is and, I believe even said in The Way I Am (book) he's not about endorsing products etc. It was a needless compromise.

Do you think he'd endorse them for free? No, it's c ash thing. He might very well even like ice tea but get serious man. He probably did it to raise his profile before launching new artists. But it's still whoring your name out.

I'm sure he likes a lot of things, but he doesn't go around endorsing them 24/7. Obviously money is the incentive. His justification for using autotune on Relapse (even though it was ironic) was 'everyone else is doing it'. So I bet he probably thought that about ads, but found a way to flip it just enough but said 'fuck it everyone else is doing it', and it's an insane amount of money.

Also switched to popular producers and... I just think he's beginning to worry he's losing touch with things and is just following the crowd a lot now.

LOL at anybody thinking Em sold out.

Listen to Tool - Hooker With A Penis.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.

If you think what Em is doing is Selling Out...Then he sold out right when he signed his deal with Interscope.

If you think what Em is doing is Selling Out...Then he sold out right when he signed his deal with Interscope.

That's ridiculous.

Making money VIA your art, if you're an artist, is not selling out.

That's perfectly fine and integral, you can make a lot of money or have it be an upshot of what you do if the intent is integral.

He aspired to be a rapper his entire life, he lived and breathed it, so you're comparing realizing that ambition, passion and dream to... whoring his name out to help huge companies make corporate bux, for some change in his pocket?...

[slicknickshady]

No difference if you want to get technical. I don't think it's selling out by signing to a major label. But if you think doing a commercial is selling out. Then he sold out when he signed his record deal. He sold out when he did his movie.

Where you are wrong is Eminem isnt just a Rapper. He is an Actor as well. He did a commercial. Actors do commercials. Get it? You are fucked in the head if you think Em sold out.

[EminemBase]

^ You are... I think maybe you're trolling.

Are you even reading what you're writing. So you can't see ANY difference between signing a RECORD DEAL, when... that's his life aspiration and what he wants to do as a living...

To... endorsing fucking ice tea and cars... ?

If you cannot see the difference between those things you're a lost cause. You're trying to lump in all money making as the same thing, such backwards logic just to defend him, it's delusional...

By your logic then since all money making is the same... prostitution is the same as making money by starting a multi-billion dollar company, same integrity / no difference yeah?

A record deal is for his ART / career, a movie is ART, it's creativity - A commercial is a random fucking endorsement for MONEY, money is the driving and only true force / factor. HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE difference.

You're delusional. And you're a moron.

[slicknickshady]

Hey, you don't need to sign a record deal to make music. So i just proved you as a hypocrite. You can't believe one and not the other. If you think the commercial is selling out then when he signed his deal he sold out.

[EminemBase]

^ No but you do to sell a lot of records, make a legacy and feed your family.

He didn't want to just make music, he wanted to make a difference, become a name in the genre. That's not selling-out because it's just basic ambition. It's ambition as an artist.

Wanting to make a legacy and be a pioneer is TOTALLY noble. Who wants to be a nobody? That's fucking ridiculous. Any great artist should aspire to be the best that they can, and if that means also the biggest, so be it but his aspiration was the best, the most original.

He's making money as a means to live, through his art. It's his career, it's what he aspires to in life. Couldn't be more different than endorsing a random fucking product for a payday.

He's an ACTOR! They do commercials. Eminem isnt just a rapper. That's what you are not getting. He Act's for a living as well as Raps.So? You get paid for doing work. He did work. He get's paid.

[EminemBase]

^ Work? It's called prostitution.

He's cheapening his name for a chunk of change. He's shamelessly endorsing a random product, (using his name like a pussy) which has fuck all to do with him, for money.

Just like a prostitute fucks some random guy for money. He's now a corporate bitch. I suppose a whore still is technically working though. But, he's getting paid to be a whore.

[slicknickshady]

EminemBase is a joke. He's a hypocrite.

[EminemBase]

^ No...

What's ET short for?... he's only got little legs.

That's a joke.

EminemBase is my username and the name of my website.

and, of course I'm a hypocrite, so are you - who the fuck isn't? You're a hypocrite for saying that and implying you aren't, or that it's a rarity. You hypocrite (yes, ironic).

But I'm not a hypocrite in this debate. I'm following a logical path, you are just in denial and simply cannot admit Eminem did wrong. So will do ANYTHING to defend him. Irrational.

^ so i guess if everyone is a hypocrite.. Eminem has every right to do whatever he wants
maybe in the past he said he didnt wanna put his face to products.. maybe he does now

point is Eminem is not what YOU want him 2 be...MOVE ON lool nd dont take it so personal
gotta admit tho u make me laugh with the shit u say

1. At no point have I ever said Eminem cannot do what he wants, so why do people feel the need to say that almost every post as if that's implied.

2. I couldn't give a flying fuck what he does, as I've said 100 times but will say again, I'm arguing about the DEFINITION. I care about truth, not about Eminem.

I'm arguing against people who won't call selling-out selling-out and are trying to dress it up and smuggle it as something else. Fuck Eminem, he's a trivial point to this argument now so stop focusing on him as if I care so much about HIM, it's the TRUTH, the definition that I care about.

Eminembase I think you talk a great deal of sense, but I disagree with you over the fact that this advert was not an extension of his 'art' as you put it.

The advert completely and utterly put his personality across, it put his shady personality across. It was pretty much an advert for himself. You could say it was a symbiotic advert where both causes helped each other.

You don't seem to acknowledge that the manner in which he did the advert IS important. If you think that him 'creating' a clothing range is not selling out, yet this is, then I fear we can never agree. Like clothes has anything to do with his 'art'? Do you think he designed the clothes? He literally just put his name to them too. Did he even wear any of them?

Do you see what I mean?
