Poor Mike Jones…

Bossip.com will every now-and-again post pieces called When the Checks Stop Coming In. They’re mostly pretty funny – and sometimes sad – when you see people who were once “gettin’ that dough,” but now are lookin’ quite broke and ashy.

Here’s my take on When the Checks Stop Coming In, called When the Public Stops Paying Attention. Up first, Mike Jones… who? Mike Jones… who? Mike Jones!!!

Some say you gotta respect his hustle: having the YouTube channel, trying to keep his name out there the best way he knows how with those minimal marketing dollars from his label. But the best thing any artist can do for their career is to just get a GOOD publicist (outside of the label publicity department) and pay them! Then you don’t have to resort to shit like this:

Do we really need to go along with Mike and his sport-n-wave cap to the store where he buys his multi-colored shoes and bedazzled jeans? And is it just me or does that grill he’s wearing make him talk like… like… ya know, when the dentist puts those rolled up pieces cotton in your mouth to sop up the spit while he’s doing his job?

===================================

Do we really need to see him driving down the highway… or the back and forth with his lovely face and the Jaguar logo on the steering wheel??? I kinda feel like he’s saying “See how I’m doin’ it? Girl, this could be you ridin’ with me right thurrr in the passenger seat… chillin’ in the Jag with Mike Jones.”

===================================

If you don’t want to waste six minutes and five seconds of your life (like I did) watching this “American Hater, Episode 4” video, you can just skip ahead to through most of the ignorance to 4:53 (where the ignorance was unintentionally funny) to see Mike in his bedazzled hoodie and rental Rolls with the red Little Tree air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror! Gotta love that hood mentality! And shame on Alex Thomas for helping Mike to make this foolishness :-\
