Commercial Rap: Run DMC & Beastie Boys "Together Forever Tour" TV Commercial (1987)

Love this kind of stuff.

Commercial Rap: Ice Cube's 900 Number (1990)

Ice Cube gets his 900 number on to promote his Amerikkka's Most Wanted LP. Only $2 per minute and kids, don't forget to get your parents permission before you call!

Commercial Rap: Michael Jackson x Pepsi (1984)

One of the all time greatest commercials. MJ slanging Pepsi at the height of his popularity. This also features a hella young Carlton of Fresh Prince of Bel Air fame as Lil MJ. He kills it too.

Commercial Rap: Sprite Edition

Kurtis Blow (1986)

Sprite always had the illest rapper commercials.

Here is the first batch. Part 2 coming soon!

Kid N Play (1990)

Heavy D & The Boyz (1990)

Kriss Kross (1993)

Nas & AZ (1997)

Commercial Rap: R&B Edition - Mary J Blige for KFC

This will never get old.

I just wanted to make sure it got it's due shine in our COMMERCIAL RAP section.

Commercial Rap: LL Cool J's 900 Number

1-900-909-COOL

This was how you would hear an album before bootleggers and the internet. Just had to call this number to hear a new song every day leading up to the release day for LL's Walking With A Panther. LL Cool J stay paid.

Commercial Rap: Swatch, KFC, McDonalds, Karl Kani, Reebok, Eastern Motors

Fat Boys Swatch Ad (circa 1985)

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

MC Hammer KFC Ad (1992)

This one is just embarrassing.

The Rappin' McNuggets

Equally embarrassing, this brings back memories. Rap music getting exploited at it's worst.

Redman Karl Kani Ad (1995)

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

50 Cent & Jay-Z Reebok Ad (2004)

Curtis and Hov rapping in a studio about their sneakers.

Fat Joe Eastern Motors Ad (2006)

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

Commercial Rap: MC Hammer's 900 Number

The number is 1-900-909-MCMC. I wonder if it's still in order? It's crazy to me that Hammer went bankrupt, because he was looking to get money from EVERYWHERE.
