Oct 26, 2017 See a lot of comments here saying Yelawolf should be mad that Ems gonna steal his thunder and why did paul do that etc .... Think about it for a sec. Being in marketing myself Paul might not be a marketing genius but he did a genius move with this one. Every blog and every Eminem fan is reposting his instagram post as reference. Now everybody (Non Yelawolf fans) know that trial by fire is coming out n thats what marketing is all about, creating awareness. He basically used the hype around Ems expected album to promote Yelawolf as well which is much more than any yelawolf music video can do right now
Oct 26, 2017 Didn't think of it this way. That's a very good point. Everyone's sharing the s--- out of that Instagram post.
Oct 26, 2017 not really, nobody besides fans of Eminem listen to Yelawolf. now that he's probably gonna leave Shady he will lose half of his fans. i'll be surprised if he sells 10k first week.
Oct 26, 2017 I agree on 1 level but I think he got played like a Pawn. Rented Mule. Blind guy with a broken leg in 'Running of the Bulls' . He's got skill, has some good music , but the Identity crisis, kind of a d-ck in some ways. Being connected to Em stunts higher lvls of success.
Oct 26, 2017 Yeah, good to raise awareness because I just heard Trial By Fire and it’s better than MMLP.
Oct 26, 2017 Maybe not from Marketing exposure. On a personal level it feels like an ego thing ,which is a factor for rappers..
