1. "I feel like it's mad disrespectful that XXXTENTACION didn't even know Lil Nas X before he passed, and yet Lil Nas X still used him for the Deadman's Co-Sign."

2. "It's pathetic that Drake really thought he'd get the Deadman's Co-Sign off 2Pac by using his AI voice model in the diss track on Kendrick."

co-promo

media term for those current TV shows where wannabees or one-star celebs hoping to raise their public profile are encouraged to compete, be humiliated, bullied, or patronised on camera...

Great symbiotic relationship -- the media get hours of cheap or unpaid labour; everyone gets their fifteen minutes of facial recognition; one or two win through to big bucks...
'Jeez ! Yet another co-promo on TV... this time it's the Whiplash School of Cookery comp...but dammit, I love them all...it's so addictive...'
