Isaac Hayes - Shafted by WMG

Ladies and Gentlemen, Warner Music Group forced me to remove the music from the video and replace approved music from Audio Swap. Instead of allowing me to promote one of their artists and sell their music, they penalize the promoter who hasn't made one thin dime at all, while they have raked in millions more since his death. Screw WMG.

    Wow, I didn't know that Isaac passed this past August. He was a talented musician and I enjoyed him on South Park. I wish that he could have left the show on different terms.
