    Wow, that's a severe disincentive.

    If you presented something pre-Trademarked could you come at them like it was a service...i.e. like a marketing / design firm would do? That way you would get paid on usage and whatnot. Oh, wait. That's why they're having this, 'contest'. So they don't have to do that.

    Am i correct here or does what seems obvious not make a lot of sense in the business world?

    [Reynaldo]Will Talib Kweli be compensating me for the worktime that I lose as a result of spending the day with him?[/Reynaldo]

    Never mind that, will Talib Kweli be compensating listeners for the time he's stolen by subjecting them to a lot of hot garbage that masquerades as the bulk of his catalog?

    Holy shit!
    Seriously, this may be the best marketing campaign he could ever have come up with. The Ass Hurt 2006 Tour.


    I'd wear it on a T-shirt.

    I love the "throughout the universe, in perpetuity"[/b] clause. I don't know if it's standard legalese but it's .

    Okay, who's going to actually submit the design?

    You know--you know--if you do that it will prompt a booty-hurt blog entry.

    we can only assume some of these submissions will surface in the next "SHOW YOUR ART / DESIGN!" thread...

    faux_rillz knows about the things you do when you are all alone at night and think nobody is watching

    It could be a joint effort. With love, from Soulstrut.

    First order of bizness, would a flossy gradient make the doo doo more realistic?

    This sucks!

    Kweli & staff just don't want to think about the image that will represent him. Just wants to pick one... Seems like they don't intend to pay neither.

    This world today really sucks.

    more realistic doo doo, free of rights... use it at your conveniance.

    (sounds like too few syllables for him to pack into a half a bar, though.)

    Yes.
    That's sad, really. Are they just giving up?

    Don't do it!
