The _Blade_ Conspiracy

If I'm not mistaken.. Among other songs, the soundtrack for the Wesley Snipes movie _Blade_ includes the GangStarr/M.O.P. duet "Half and Half". I've heard snips and it sounds fat as fuckin hell. I think I saw a bunch of other rap artists listed too on the liner notes... YET...

I watched the commercial for _Blade_ and at the end they say "soundtrack featuring" and they only list three artists: some New World or New Order group, one called Junkie XL or some shit, and some other nobody. NONE of the rap artists are listed in the TV commercial. WHY? If you're gonna fill up a soundtrack with fatass hip-hop artists to rival all time greats like _Juice_ and _Boyz N the Hood_ then why not publicize it?

I really want to know why the only three artists listed on the soundtrack in the commercial are all not rappers. I really want to know if it has anything to do with the fact that I saw reports saying _Blade_ was #1 in theaters last week.

Does this mean they're afraid that listing rappers on the soundtrack in the commercial makes the movie "ghetto" or "black"?

I'd hate to think a studio would stoop this low but shit don't add up. Too many fat artists got signed to the line to not get their primetime.

Peace, Flash
