It is my opinion that if the majors knew what they were doing I could also post Erykah Badu's wonderful video and you could see it and that would make you want to buy and listen to her album in a loop, like I have for the past 48 hours, but Universal knows better than to engage into grass-root marketing... DUH!!! So they are trying to make sure that this video can only be seen on their YouTube sub-site, but cannot be embedded anywhere else... I still recommend you go check it out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9jpkF1ehD8&NR=1 unless their effort to prevent her video from spreading is as effective as their strategy (which so far is resulting in ~20% sales decline year over year for the past 5 years), in which case these two windows below won't work for long. Remember these guys sued Napster, and resisted iTune, because you don't get horrible shareholder value destruction and insane artist promotion without a clearly failed but strictly implemented strategy, so limit your expectations, these guys are good at doing it wrong...
The full album is at http://amorriconegangster.com/. I know I've posting a lot of Jay-Z these past few days, but his latest album is the gift that keeps on giving and I love it all!
