BMW asks too much of its drivers. You know like "manual transmissions" and such
 Personally I'm not sure how the top 10 list of names dropped by rappers is even news. Is there a study on the most dropped trucks in country music? Plus I guarantee if you asked any rapper what a Kalishnikov rifle was they would stare at you like you were crazy.

Rapper 50 Cent was the most brand-dropping rapper of the year, with 17 product mentions in 7 songs, mentioning brands like Bentley, Cristal, Lamborghini, Mercedes and Nike. It was unclear how many of the product mentions were paid placements -- advertising industry analysts quoted in AdAge said that revealing such a deal would likely undermine both the rapper and the brand's credibility. The deals are indeed made, and they move product and create brand loyalty. I can't tell you how many times I've seen an Escalade drive by with a parking sticker in the back window from a shady apartment complex. There are lots of people who prefer to spend the majority of income on what they drive as opposed to what they live in- I'm from that kind of neighborhood and I used to be of the same mindset. The reason you don't hear shout outs to Ford, Chevy or Dodge in country tunes is that kind of brand loyalty comes from someone's family, and no song is gonna change that. Mentioning a specific brand of truck would do the artist more harm than good- it would alienate those who are fans of the brands not mentioned in a positive way. JV

What CNN didn't say was that those artists that drop brands the most, also get access to vehicles for videos, access to invitation only unvielings (like the 2007 Esco event) and some get zero leases. In return the automaker gets to see their product jump off the lot...
80s Suzuki Sidekicks Toyota Maximas Jeeps 90s BMW 5 series Acura Legend Lexus Hummer 2000 Escalades Navigators BMW 750 MB CLS MB G-Wagon MB Maybach Range Rover it's just the further commercialization and cross selling of everything TV-Movies-Sports-Music to become a MegaBrand like Shaq (movie, sports, music), Will Smith (tv, movie, music), Jamie Foxx (tv, movie, music). You wouldn't believe the time and energy these guys put into brand dropping and the behind the scenes deals. It's worse that the last Bond film. Last edited by RealShakaZulu; 01-04-2006 at 03:07 AM.
