New “Ad Rap” Genre Is Just Awful

raprat.jpegIt was bound to happen eventually. The advertising industry, not satisfied with just paying off real rappers to mention Big Macs, has now released an entire rap album about advertising itself. "Strata G" is a copywriter in the Winston-Salem office of the Mullen agency , a fact he trumpets at length on "Straight Outta Winston," which combines the worst aspects of Vanilla Ice and the nerdcore movement. Viral marketing, son! After the jump, nod your head to G's nasal tones as he rhymes about his desire for ad industry awards, and reflect on how Hip-Hop went off the rails. [Adrants]
