Dr. Dre is ruining the Music Industry!

Well maybe it isn’t Dr. Dre, but instead its his head­phone. “Beats by Dr. Dre” are these magic head­phones Dr. Dre cre­ated endorses and these lit­tle glomp­ing large giz­mos are destroy­ing the lit­tle cred­i­bil­ity main­stream music has left. Sim­ply these head­phones have taken prod­uct place­ment to the next level.

Shall we begin?

In Eminem’s music video for “We Made You”. The girl por­tray­ing Lindsy Lohan’s girl­friend has a pair around her neck. Bet­ter put them on a no longer rel­e­vant rap­per is yelling at you.

Oh I for­got Dr. Dre and the no longer rel­e­vant rap­per are best bros with each other so of course Dr. Dre will show in the video. I dare say whats that keep­ing his ears warm? Ear­muffs? Oh wait! Its a pair “Beats by Dr. Dre” head­phones. Which can be bought for a mere $300.

My audi­ence is usu­ally of the gay sort and the gay sort has never really cared for the no longer rel­e­vant rap­per sort (Eminem). So which per­son is rel­e­vant to the gay community…Que in every Lady GaGa video…EVER

Poker Face

Love Game the mini cheap ones oh well.

Alright lets take a com­mer­cial break.

Ha, see what I did there? Even when pimp­ing another prod­uct he has time to pimp his very own “Beats by Dr. Dre” head­phones he even let the nerdy white guy wear them for a sec­ond. All of this done with time to drink a cool glass of Dr. Pepper.

So back to the music video. Here is some generic rap video with generic rap peo­ple and Lady Ga Ga and a cer­tain lucky dog who was able to afford “Beats by Dr. Dre headphones.

Okay this is get­ting unbear­able. I think you get the point…Wait…hold your horses there is another group of scantly clad ladies who are will­ing to drill the point once more. Just a note the fol­low­ing is a music video, not a com­mer­cial. I think.

After watch­ing that video you now have mem­o­ries of the head­phones embed in your head right next to your use­less child­hood ones.  So pretty much the entire premise of the video is. Guy buys “Beats by Dr. Dre” head­phones from Best­buys. Guy gets ran­dom assort­ment of ladies because he bought “Beats by Dr. Dre” head­phones from Best­buys. That is a com­mer­cial. Have we reached the cul­mi­na­tion of this trend? Will this non­sense stop? No.

Whats that under­neath that generic rapper’s hood? Could it be!

It’s one Giant Commerical
