Coca Cola Real Ads
Greetings Sorors,
I think that the Coca Cola ads are interesting to say the least. I find it very funny that captalists can take something so authentic particuarly an artist such as Common and use it to market a soda in popular culture. I find that whenever things that are "real" are introduced into the popular culture there is a sense of lost authenticity. However in this type of society I don't know if that can be prevented. I found myself equally distrubed when I saw the commercial with the Roots and Coke and the Nike "Umi Says" commercial, borrowing the song from Mos Def. All in all, I give Common big ups for getting his paper and I hope that this can be used as a tool to help spread his really dope music/message even more.
Shameless Plug *Go and pick up his latest the Electric Circus, he has this song that is titled Between, Me You, and Liberation where he speaks on things most MCs don't dare touch, this brother is really gifted.*
