McDonald’s Infiltrates Rap Lyrics
McDonald’s is paying rappers $1-5 every time a song with a “Big Mac” lyric plug hits the radio.
Does “Street Cred” still matter in rap?
How long before 50 Cent busts out 99 Cent Menu rhymes?
How long before I do? ;)
Update: Check out this McDonalds Drive-Through rap. Too bad these guys didn’t say “Big Mac” somewhere in the lyrics.
What Next?

Thanks for the links. I need to try Crunk myself. Madeline Woods speaks the truth, though. None of us are innocent of buying what we see and hear; but where is the line drawn? Product placement is increasing, not decreasing, so the lines won’t be drawn any time soon.

This recent entry at Electric Relaxation implies Crunk (the hip-hop style AND an “energy drink”) is anecdotal evidence that popular culture doesn’t really see commercialized hip-hop as somehow compromising its street credibility:

And from the Crunk web site:
Hip-Hop has broad appeal because it was birthed from the truth. Though everyone is not from the streets, everyone has his or her own truth to tell, thus everyone can relate to Hip-Hop. Like Hip-Hop, crunk speaks to the genuineness of everyday street life.
And anyway as Lil’ Kim, Game, etc. have shown in the national crime news of late, true street cred can come from such simple gestures as lying on the stand or shooting at rival artists and their associates:
