Why does Joy Orbison include samples of people bigging him up in his own music?

Violator [Edit] [Delete] 16:25, 11 October '09

Is this just something he's done for his mySpace? Don't get me wrong, I think it sounds promising and 'Hyph Mngo' is a superb dance hall tune that seems like a throw back to the early 90s, but why have so much shameless self publicity in your own music?

Do MCs and others of their ilk, do this as part of their scene, because I think I've heard it done before in a live setting and remember being very put off by it then. Let the music breath on it's own for gawd sake.
