Robbie, how you not gonna mention the 5 Deadly Venoms ad campaign with all those ladies and Kool Keith?
Would PE still work for Oldsmobile?
Is Steady B still getting buried in his Benz?
Does Slick Rick still pull out his (BMW) 535i?
Chuck d oldsmobile add would be ill!
Gotta admit I Do not mind that kia add with salt n pepper etc. Must be getting old.
of course Chuck switched to a (Ford) Bronco, so perhaps not.
Or Diamond D could confuse everyone with his “735 fuel-injected transmission”.
Yeah Chuck had me wanting a Bronco back in those days too. Sure he didn’t see a cent from them tho.
Didn’t he also sue St ides for using his Unmistakable ‘d’in one of their ads?
Some of the adds or cool..i forgot who used The Creator recently but i know i bothered me lol.
Some tracks are larger then life but if i start hearing deep tracks from Runaway Slave to shell some overpriced crap in a pissed.
Bill Hicks style, your off the artistic role call verse artists really needing a check i guess
@Ross – yeah, ha, what track is that from, I heard it a few days back and laughed?
I seem to remember Daddy-O’s voice also in a Cepacol throat lozenge commercial.
@SeanG
That was DITC’s Day One. It’s the kind of weird tongue-tied line you get in a freestyle.
