Jerkin Hits the Jackpot!

Why does this video have no sound? It might be hard to tell, because you're watching an embedded version of the video, but if you go to YouTube, you'll see exactly why.

"This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled."

Just. Like. That. They're signed to Asylum. Something tells me the words "next Soulja Boy" were used in at least one meeting at Warner Music. However, judging from this clip, the New Boyz' first video won't be as self-referential as Soulja Boy's. It actually looks kinda boring.

The saddest part is when they talk to Billboard Magazine about how awesome it was to have fans make videos to their song "Your a Jerk". Lulz. They won't have to worry about that anymore.

I wonder if what the label really wants is rights to the digital distribution of "Your a Jerk" (and on a side note, will they change it to "You're a Jerk"? Or does the grammatical error highlight the grassroots/high schooler charm of Jerkin music, and the label would therefore want to keep it?), because there is no way the New Boyz go platinum, though I wouldn't be surprised if a million people paid 99 cents to download a "high quality" version of the song. So, if they get a video out there, and shut down all the YouTubers, they could probably build some buzz around the song and make a quick buck. But won't Asylum have to worry about that uncleared D4L sample at the end of the song? Hmmmm.

As a Fuck You to Warner, here's the track (again):

New Boyz "Your a Jerk"

Let's see if they take it down!
