Is it possible that you're talking about two separate commercials? I
don't see much TV, but I saw a Gap commercial today featuring LL Cool J
(I'm certain of this) with a white background. He seemed to be
improvising a rap, and part of it involved telling what the G, A, and P
stand for. The commercial ends with LL kissing two of his fingers and
making a peace sign to the camera.
