Music-related content creation jobs took a hit with the recent closing of many AOL Music sites. But new possibilities are emerging as Mass Appeal returns with a vengeance and $1.2 million dollars while Mountain Dew and Complex team up on Green Label. These publications represent two important routes for music publishing today, one a strong original content center on which a larger business can be built and the other a sponsored content site providing branded content that's less about the brand and more about the demographic target. Mass Appeal Good To [...]

In another dramatic series of events concerning rappers and their high-profile endorsements, Pepsi Co has dropped Lil Wayne from their roster over controversy concerning a lyric from the rapper..  The line, from Future's remix of "Karate Chop" , reads "beat the pu**y up like Emmett Till", of course referring to the brutal and racially-fueled death of the young Till from 1955 .  Now Wayne, as any listener knows, has compared  many  things over his career to beaten up female genitalia, which one might thing is already enough to garner skepticism from large-paying corporations.

After issuing an apology to the Till family earlier this week, PepsiCo - the parent company of Mountain Dew - has cut all ties with Lil Wayne over his controversial reference to Emmett Till on Future's "Karate Chop." In a statement made late Friday, the company said Wayne's "offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon" did not reflect the values of their brand. However, according to Sarah Cunningham, Weezy's publicist, Wayne being dropped was an amicable decision and due to "creative differences." Whatever the case, the [...]

Per TMZ , Airickca Gordon-Taylor, a Till family representative, feels that Wayne's words fall "short of an apology." "While it’s commendable that he has vowed to respect the legacy of Emmett Till and his memory to ‘not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in his music,' this statement falls short of an apology, as none is mentioned." No word from [...]

While Epic Records, Future's label, quickly apologized and removed the lyric, Weezy had not and the family increased their call [...]

Mountain Dew teams up with the outspoken head of the Odd Future regime for a set of zany, unorthodox  commercials that will either lead to laughing out loud, or awkward confusion. As a director, i honestly believe that is Tyler's niche. His countless videos, Loiter squad, and now this series of commercials only continue to showcase his unfiltered creative visionary talents. The house of hip-hop can open up many doors outside of a "clothing line" and cliche "movie roles".  "Might fuck around and be a goat name Felicia"

Apparently Tyler, the Creator really wasn't kidding when he said he'd be the director of multiple Mountain Dew ads.  Watch as the Odd Future honcho gets his Spielberg on yet again, and reminds audiences to refrain from drinking and driving. Admirable. Also, if you find this to be your cup of tea, you'll definitely enjoy Loiter Squad , and God bless you if you do. The post MT DEW 2 Starring Felicia The Goat and Lionel Boyce appeared first on Vibe To This .

Tyler the Creator and the people over at Mountain Dew recently teamed up for a couple commercials. Directed by Tyler, the commercials follow Felicia the Goat and his conquest for Mountain Dew. Where the first commercial was just plain crazy and sort of stupid, the follow up is much more successful in bringing out the laughs. This second commercial sees Felicia the Goat getting pulled over by a police officer for a "Dew U I." Tyler , who voices the goat, brings his infamous wackiness to the spot. Check out the video below [...]

After previously recruiting crazy person Lil Wayne  for an ad campaign, Mountain Dew yet again takes a risk working with another crazy person high-profile rapper, Tyler, the Creator .  Tyler was elected to be the visionary behind this mind-boggling commercial spot, featuring Felicia The Goat And Errol Chatham.  We really don't think it necessary to go into further analysis.
