Why in God's name are companies trying to get the 'urban youth' dollar? None have jobs or any money to speak of and no class whatsoever.

Hello, I AM your target market.......mid-40's and a ton of expendable income, and each and every time I see these efforts, I put that company on my 'no buy' list.

Total WoW (Waste o' White). I hate these wannabes

You hit it #1. I'd send a message to Microsoft, but I believe Steve Ballmer still has power there, so not much point. Fire the dope who thought this was a good idea and fire the agency that brought it to them.

.............and this is surprising because?

Microsoft knows advertising like they know creating their own original user-friendly products. Now if they had tried ripping of someone else's commercials or buying them, maybe they would have had a better chance.

I don't like so called good rap, let alone bad rap. No way this kind of BS is going to make me feel good about buying any MS device.

What the Hell did they expect would happen?

Whomever named that music 'rap' left the 'C' off the front.

This is what happens when MS tries desperately to be one of the "hep cats", like Apple. They should have stuck with the group that usually performs at their functions, The Four Lads.

Come on Jake, lets get outta' here. It's Atlanta. ( to Nicholson in Chinatown )

Stupid is as stupid does! Maybe they need a new Marketing executive who has a few brains.

My disadmiration for Microsoft was increased by reading about another stupid maneuver to attract non-viable customers (hoods).

when he was on that table, he should have been tazed in his primary sexual area. my guess is that billy badass act would have come to a screeching halt. just for good measure i'd send someone to his next public appearance and taze him again. my guess is this guy'll be doing negro spirituals before he comes out with more gutteral er "cultural" expressions.

This actually turned out beter than I expected after reading the headline. I thought I was going to be reading about gun shots being fired, just like every other rapper story in the news.

If obama had a son, it would look like, well, you know. Wouldn't have happened to an obamaphone, though. Or maybe it would -- they're "free."

Stupid honkeys.

In my neck of the woods some call them "whiggers".

Around here my they call em "Wangstas"

FTA:

“On Sept. 28, The Source held a private event at the Microsoft Lenox Square Store. We offer our stores as a venue for the community to use, and this event was not sponsored by Microsoft. While the artist’s behavior was appropriate for a concert, some of it was not appropriate in a store environment," Microsoft said in a statement to CNBC.

The Source purportedly hired him, Not Microsoft. But they think he's an "artist" and that his "behavior was appropriate for a concert."

Crotch-grabbing, expletives and all.

Good old liberal Bill Gates & Co.

Sorry. Only one paragraph FTA should have been italicized. The rest is my comment.

Wiggers are a waste of skin.

Wow a thug acting like a thug what a surprise.
