Universal,
I dig following you because I love music videos, and I was hoping that’s what you would be posting. A few things though - stop using brightcove because no one can embed your videos including you. You already have the 30 second preroll, which is risky, but viewers are beginning to be trained enough to watch through it. And to my point about embedding, the ad will travel with it. I know you guys are trying to rock the Tumblr to engage the community, but your business is music and music videos, so work on letting those go every where because your audience community can and will do your work for you more efficiently, and then thank you for it when they buy albums because they can’t get the music video out of their minds.
Also, if any of your artists would be down for this, let me know.
Thanks,
MDF

Brand New in HQ: Busta Rhymes feat. T-Pain “Hustler’s Anthem 09”
This video is typical Busta, shot through a fishlens and featuring a cameo by fellow Flipmoder Spliffstar.
It was produced by none other than Hype Williams who has brought us some of hip-hop’s most legendary videos, such as “Can’t Knock The Hustle”, “Mo Money Mo Problems”, “California Love” and “Gold Digger”.
Enjoy… Back On My B.S. coming in May!
