I'm not shocked.
I knew they were brand ambassadors, but every single time you see the real owner, you realize how disgusted you really are at the end of the day.

nah, its way worse.
Cause most times when they do promo, they have to announce that they're paid spokespeople or that they're marketing products.
Some of these artists are downright shameless
what do you do mr. high and mighty?

for their favorite rappers. This board is not the place to have a honest discussion about how hip hop affects the black community. Look at how phonzhi threads go.

Thread is dumb. What does it matter if they’re getting the bag? Steve Jobs didn’t own Apple. Bill Gates don’t own Microsoft. Phil Knight don’t Own NIKE. Are they not bosses.

They founded the company and became CEOs and are now part of the Board of Directors. Also, they have enough stocks in the company to be stupid rich and make sure that any important decision goes through them first.
That's not what these rappers are doing.

Wat? They ran those companies and had a controlling level of stock? Jay and Puffy not running these liquor companies they are just glorified spokesman.
he did, I dont even know what this thread is aboutI thought Jay-Z actually bought Armand de Brignac from the previous owner ?
is that really the (flawed) argument you're trotting out?
Those were public companies. They were still controllers and leaders of the actual entities.
are you really this fukking stupid?
Why y'all gotta compare the largest corporate entities to a few rappers?
Do you think this is some deep metaphor?
Of course not...but I just get angry every time I see this shyt.you mean to tell me, fools actually thought these rappers was buying vineyards, distilleries, and negotiating worldwide trade deals to move liquor

Wrong. Jobs owned less that 1% of Apple. He actually owned more of Disney than of Apple. I’m sure gates owns a similarly small stake in $M
