AJ in commercials

Some AJ in commercials is bad, but much of the hip-hop in commercials is
fantastic. Here in the U.S. the soft drink Sprite has had spots featuring
Grand Puba, CL Smooth, Tribe Called Quest (very briefly) and others.

The great thing about these spots is (1) it gives the artists great
exposure (2) puts cash in the pockets of artists who deserve it (and it is
a LOT of money, as my friend who scores commercials will attest to) (3)
less commercials are wack.

This is a silly thread anyway because it shows we all watch too much TV anyway.
