The other one is better, but the concept is great!

What's the concept here?

doworkson's picture 242 pencils

yeah what is the concept here? Rival gangster rappers are fans of each other in the afterlife?

terrible campaign

loneswish's picture 46 pencils

Seeing as how it was proven that Biggie was connected to Tupac's murder, this seems pretty...shocking?

Is it saying you should be friends with people that kill you? Oh! I get it now!

seriously, the more i look at this, the more i hate it. mtv needs to stop trying to heal the world- pac and big hated each other to the death- literally. tupac is spinning in his grave right now like a 1200...and why would big want to be on his 4M black tee anyway?

the idea I think is that you can listen what you want on MTV, even if you're not "suppose" to. MTV try to be "open mind" with this campaign.

Thinking that 2Pac could love Biggie within show the MTV aim... no ?

Don't be so literal, it's advertising, and it shows the world with new eyes, and it's good.

This ad says nothing. I love it when ads aren't literal but this is not memorable and it doesn't get a message across.
Its garbage.

I like the message they are sending. They are saying that MTV is the bridge between warring, conflicting, and polarizing music styles. Ever watched MTV during the 40 minutes per day where they actually play music? They play music that otherwise would not appear on the same station. Hence, they WERE playing Biggie AND 2Pac videos on the same shows even though the whole East Coast v West Coast thing was going on.

Basically, they are the medium where these opposites come together. They are positioning themselves as the canvas for peace and tolerance in the music world. I hate MTV, but a brilliant ad is a brilliant ad.

2pac's head looks bigger than the rest of his body but that's just me.

pac's head is bigger than the rest of his body.

You would catch biggie wearing a pac shirt first, rather than this fake picture.
