I drove into the city tonight and my friend pointed out a billboard for the upcomming Dangerdoom album. That was a serious WTF moment. I mean who knows how expensive it is to buy space amongst all the Verizon, Coke, Abercrombie shit that's up there. Do they really think they can pull that many sales from a billboard? I don't.

Is it true that it is being advertised on the Cartoon Network channel as well?
It's even availble to buy HERE...[/b]
Genius move.
most memorable one so far is the one with matthew lesko (sp?), you know, that infomercial guy who wears that suit with quesiton marks all over it... its like one of his infomercials, except he keeps yelling "dangerdoom!"
Good way to hook the kids in to good hip hop, but Adult Swim is probably marketed more towards...um, er adults yeah...?
...and is it true that he can't leave the US because he was born in England & doesn't have US passport?
People have tried to get him down here but fear it might turn into another Slick Rick fiasco.
the shit with cee-lo was an amazing track
26 INCHES
AT A RED LIGHT
BUT THEM THANGS KEEP SPINNIN ROUND
Not really. I'll give it another listen since you seem to dig it. I dunno, I think i'm a little biased in my "hatteur-ation" since that Grey album bullshit/the cornballs that praise it.
He did a track with Cee-lo? Hmmmm.....time to do a google search.
cosign on that 26" ep. nice artwork too.
I have been hoping Doom would get brought over here for a show for a while now. Good luck Blaze, and post or PM me if this ever happens, soi don't miss it!
Agreed.
Seen Doom up here in Toronto... so I don't think he has passport problems...
Unless you're talking about Dangermouse.
yeah that's really not surprising considering the label people involved in the project. listened to the album today, seems like too much product placement for adult swim/aqua teen hunger force which i'm not into at all. doom and dangermouse are both really great, but this album was a total miss. didn't see the billboard. where is it in sf?
it's after you cross the bay bridge going into the city. it's on the right side a litle ways in. it's not one of the prime spots, but it's tucked away next to a building running almost parallel to the freeway.
Doom had some passport issues as he was supposed to play in the uk but couldn't, apparently it's fixed now, but i don't believe it.
The cartoons are too much!
Danger and Doom yes, Aqua Teen no.
GOTTA KEEP EM SEPERATED!
Is this a serious question?
yes indeed. i've heard it, and the Adult Swim drops, while funny, have no place in there. it's such a lame cross-promotional thing. it's actually kind of offensive. Doom should know better than that.
Those dudes gotta eat. Can't hate on 'em for hustling.
