Rapper Commercials

Fat Boys Swatch Ad (circa 1985)

- I'd never seen this one. As corny as rap commercials come, but dope still for some reason.

LL Cool J Hotline Ad (circa 1989)

- This is just a commerical for LL's hotline to hear songs from his 'new' album. Hotlines used to sucker me in when I was a kid, especially those 1-900 ones.

Kid N Play Sprite Ad (circa 1991)

- I'd never seen this one either. Kid N Play were the friendly rappers so it's no surprise they got scooped up by Sprite.

MC Hammer KFC Ad (circa 1992)

- This one is just embarassing.

The Rappin' McNuggets (circa 199?)

- This just brings back memories. Rap music getting exploited at it's worst, but it did made me eat some nuggets.

Redman Karl Kani Ad (circa 1995)

- This is a good one, everything Redman did (except that sitcom) is dope in my books.

50 Cent & Jay-Z Reebok Ad (circa 2004)

- Curtis and Hov rapping in a studio about their sneakers.

Biggie St. Ides Ad (circa 1995)

- All the St. Ides commericals were dope and this was one of the best, plus there isn't a mp3 for it so you gotta check the video.

Fat Joe Eastern Motors Ad (circa 2006)

- Hahaha. Fat Joe slanging cars. Check how Joe came up with the chorus for "Make It Rain".

BONUS: Michael Jackson Pepsi Ad (1984)

- this was the dopest commercial back in the day. It's also the commercial MJ was doing when his hair caught on fire.
