It's all about the marketing!

[tommyisastrategist]

Brilliant! I love your strategy!

A lot of musicians don't even consider the marketing of their music. But the music industry does it all the time. Why else do videos come out before the album drops? Why else are there shit loads of posters, tee shirts and other merchandising when there's only a single released? Very smart what you did here. I get very excited by marketing, if you couldn't already tell :-P

[globefreelancer]

I will be back to watch more of yoru videos.

[Jesusfreak102595]

hahahahaha John, you totaly crack me up!

[DJSlugger3]

these little skits are cracking me up. i needed a good laugh...thanks!

[playstation3guy]

people in marketing should fucking KILL THEMSELVES, fuckin bastard scumbags

[Lundadeuna]

She's great! I love watching the two of you together. It's gold.

[tom769780gg]

[steinsmith]

[darkover99]

Great Video , Keep up the good work

[gummybearsown]

I saw you wearing one of those hats in "he Professional Rapper." Do you keep yourself clean, John?

You're hilarious! I'll pray for that T.V. show of yours.

[salesdatingguy]

[jagausta]

Are you tired of people asking when the album is coming? Because I think there's at least 4 times just for this video, and I'm guilty of one! By the way, when's the MOVIE/VIDEO coming out?

[ReubonicPlague]

The plan is for the show and the album to come out at the same time. Probably around Christmas.

[jagausta]

What are you asking for, for Christmas?

[kidkash416m]

BTW When's the album coming out?

[ReubonicPlague]

Sometime around Christmas.

[Petra388]

you're right my dear... ;p

but the girl did a good job!!=)

[ReubonicPlague]

She is awesome!

[daileyxplanet]

Poor Meredith!

[ReubonicPlague]

She does keep her self clean.

[localbandsrock]

Is there any way I can get my hands on one of those "image is everything" shirts? If I could, that'd be great!

[ReubonicPlague]

I'll see what we can do. We haven't made any of them for a long time.

[localbandsrock]

I remember seeing that picture back in high school around (1998 or 1999 i think it was), but i never realized it was you. I think it'd be great if I could get one of those shirts!

[ReubonicPlague]

It is acually me on that shirt.  We're gonna have to make more.

[HomeCubeRunner]

businessman, then rapper? How about a Christian, then businessman, then rapper. It's a great way to introduce yourself! :)

[craptv]

You are way more entertaining than Nornna though.

[navonod]

You should put out hundreds of short little videos like Nornna. She has hundreds and hundreds of short vids. You should check them out.

[ReubonicPlague]

That's a good idea. Thanks. did you see that nornna left me a comment on mistaken for a girl video?

[navonod]

[jagausta]

Is there an ETA for the new album? I've got all of your old ones. And while I never tire of them, I thirst for some fresh Reuben.

[ReubonicPlague]

We're shooting for Christmas.

[ReubonicPlague]

new record coming soon!

[voltcroft]

[ReubonicPlague]

at johnreuben.com

[ReubonicPlague]

you sure can at johnreuben.com

[voltcroft]

i can tell

[voltcroft]

definently, you know how to work it!

HEY EVERYONE, BUY THIS STUFF!

[ReubonicPlague]

I am a business man first, then a rapper.

[voltcroft]

i go nuts to everyone i know before a new record comes out.

[ReubonicPlague]

So you totally understand what's goin on here.

[Joshuas2006]

With your style you diffantly show stripes fuck i should make a pattern for you what i mean lol.

[ReubonicPlague]

Please do!

[Joshuas2006]

I think your wardrobe is all wrong i can help you better then that chick with the colors of what looks best with your style of rap. She doesnt jack shit about hip hop or what your looking for the hat color is all wrong. Unless your promoting your irish lol or i smoke bud and thats what i am proclaiming. If you DO then green would be the color. You might want to try more darker of a color try this out black on the outside and maybe green if you like green in the middle of the hat.

[ReubonicPlague]

Thanks for the input.

[megamom08]

i hope meredith gets the big bucks for what she puts up with. i also hope she doesn't go home and take it out on her cat. no animals were harmed in the typing of this comment.

[ReubonicPlague]

That's good to know.

[zappin]

Meridith is halarious. You're not bad either John.

[ReubonicPlague]

The ReubonicPlague is coming. Prepare yourself!

[TheDiamondFactory]

That's a smart strategy Reuben!

[ReubonicPlague]

Thanks for your support!

[akemler]

When does the CD come out?

[ReubonicPlague]

You can't rush inspiration.

[darky0da]

$5 for the white shirt...

[ReubonicPlague]

I'm sorry I don't have any for sale right now.  They will be $20 once I print more.

[anitsirk80]

Dude! John Reuben has worn that shirt!

It's at least worth $8.

[ReubonicPlague]

That's it?
