Fabolous Bacardi Ad: Yech!

Bookmark Removed

Anyone else heard this travesty? Very lengthy, very cloying, & a big name rapper A) rippin' another rapper's schtick (aka bacardi) and B) straight shilling.

I don't think I'd mind if the track was better, though. (cf Britney)

If I hear one more rapper rhyme 'party' with 'Bacardi' - the bar might get wet.

He doesn't rhyme party with bacardi. He comes awful close though. When did bacardi become the new hip drink anyway? I recall it was cris for the high class and hennesy for the ghetto. And gin & juice of course. Also 40s... but Bacardi?

cuz it's Carib, from the I-slands. ray ray ray.

good test of what kind of hiphop fan you are, divide number of henny references by cris refs and multiply that by old e refs. dead prez soy milk refs wreck the curve though. and i want the kardinal offishall album bad.

Ever since Josh said he was going to write something about Kardi I've been feeling like I'm not going to know why I like the album so much until the moment I read what Josh has to say. HINT

You like it 'cause it's good and you have impeccible taste, duh.

Maxine...oh, miss Maxine...

R. Kelly (that bastion of what IS hip-hop) name-checks the rum on (duh) "Fiesta".

Meanwhile, Captain Morgan is still reeling from that Garth Brooks song. Hot diggity.

GET SPICY!

Captain Morgan's Rum, you KNOW it's the one!

Comin alive after 5!

When did bacardi become the new hip drink anyway?

When they figured out it rhymed with party, duh.

But it doesn't rhyme with "party". Not unless you pronounce it "pardy". Or "Bacarti". It DOES, however, rhyme with "your arse looks lardy".

― Kodanshi, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

American pronunciation = "pardy"

others may say "pah-tee" but they are ah-tee fah-tees

Dude I almost forgot! In "Where the Party At" Nelly goes "mix it with the Cris baby what's wrong with that?"

There is a LOT wrong with that, Nelly. That is fucking NASTY.

Which is the punchline. In fact he sez "don't see nothing wrong with that" playing up his low-class thang. I shudder to think what will happen to the rap world when somebody realizes they can rhyme "Becks" and "sex".

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Probably the thing that bugs me most is that the production would be top-notch single quality if the needs of marketing to repeat product name & slogan over and over didn't destroy the flow.

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Becks" and "sex"

hey i don't see nothin wrong with that. but do rappers drink Becks??

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They will.

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sterling, things could be worse. The ad could center around (shudder) Jermaine Dupri!

― Tim, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What about America's King Of Beers and German Coprophilia as a new thang???

― Kodanshi, Wednesday, 21 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well probably be awhile before any rapper raps about Screech so I be safe, probably Goslings is a safe bet.
