I think Ms. Muse has 50 cent syndrome. Which i find hilarious and ridiculous at the same time. I'm not a big fan of muse, her music is not my cup of tea. But thats not the issue here. This was a crude marketing ploy similar to the activities of 50 cent who if you have ever noticed, always manages to "beef" with another rapper not long before or after he has a new album waiting to be released. Being that the Epic win dropped this week, and that she promoted this as a love song the entire time, she knew what she was doing.
I haven't watched one of her videos in months but i tuned in to this one only to find it an abstract unentertaining and semi nonsensical attack on a comic writer's character based soley of his comedic stylings. I find it highly laughable that anyone would try to attack a comedian on anything except being funny or unfunny as it immediately destroys the attackers credibility and logic. Its like getting angry at south park. Why? Why wait till her album comes out. Why deceive the escapist community with this whole "love song" ruse. Why the weird screw driver ending? Why hasn't she repped too hard for feminism up until this point? What was this supposed to be aside from a bump in her q rating and a boost to her record sales.
I find Yahtzee wildly entertaining. And Im sure he has negative opinions on women as a whole along with most people which would be par for the course. However to arbitrarily attack him as a misogynist is weak sauce and reeks of cherry picking, and a person looking to be offended. As many have stated he has had just as many statements attacking female stereotypes and misogyny as he has had jokes about women. But the kicker is that regardless they are still jokes. It all seems very contrived and calculated. And seeing as she no has nearly 400 posts in 2 days (more than yahtzee usually gets in a week) its working.
More so than a retaliation or redress from Yahtzee i would like an explanation from Muse to make sense of her logic and motivation on this event. Yahtzee should take the Rick Ross route (Rapper that beefed with 50-not say much and go on being good at what he does) and let his success speak for itself.
really? you honestly think she could have no other reason for making this song except wanting to sell more CD's?
well, if you believe mayes is going the 50c route, then you must not forget to mention the second part of that particular marketing trick: the cooperation of the other party.
you think those other rappers were trying to defend their street cred by beefing with him? you think they didn't get a sales boost on their diss records? by the logic you're following, yahtzee is in on this and is hoping to increase his popularity by offering the escapist community teh drama.
by extension, it's also probable (some) of the escapist staff is in on it. and of course, they couldn't have done this without consent of the themis group, and as we all know, the illuminati control all media so they're probably in on it too. and dont forget about the jews. they're pobably part of this nefarious conspiracy to get you to listen to rebecca mayes too.
or maybe this isn't some get more sales plot.
maybe, just maybe, this is just someone making a song for someone they like.
crazy eh?
