1) AZ and Nas Sprite commercial

2) Voltaren inspired Sprite commercial. It was like 3-5 part commercial featuring rappers from each region forming like Voltron

3) 5 Deadly Venoms Sprite commercial

Did Sprite do any commercials with rappers from 2001-2008?

That campaign with lyrics on cans in 2015 and 2016 was dope to me

Don't remember the Mos def one.

The Kobe Tim Duncan commercial also had Prince Whippa whip in there. It was inspired by the Wildstyle basketball scene. Caz repin his cold crush and Whip reppin Fantastic Romantic.

This was a perfect matchup. Jada and A.I. are very similar…highly skilled, highly respected by their peers…and while their peers may have had more visible success (record sales/championships)…there were MANY in the streets that will argue that they were the best.

Off the top of my head:


- Busta Rhymes “Dew What You Gotta Dew!” Mountain Dew commercial,
that shoulda been a whole song

- Snoop Dogg/Nate Dogg St. Ides Commercial

- E-40 St. Ides Commercial when he’s in the studio with the fitted made out of buck straw,
I been looking for a hat like that forever

- Brotha Lynch Hung’s ad for Loaded, when everybody kept stealing it from each other

- Montgomery Flea Market: It’s just like a Mini-Mall

Honorable Mention: this GEICO “Scoop, There It Is” joint is a new classic. SPRINKLES
