How long will it be until artists start using product placement and full blown advertising within the actual content of their songs to get around these things..?

If you listen to any hip-hop track made in the last 5 years you will find that is already the case with a good percentage of said tracks. I met a guy recently who's only job was to find brands to partner with this young but fairly well known hip-hop artist. He charges around $500,000 per mention. It should be possible to calculate rough revenues by going through lyrics on Rap Genius.
