To the coli old heads was St. Ides good for hip hop back in the days

[Fred G. Sanford]

Looking back they said it was paying them bags but it was promoting to kids of colors




i remember Wayans even made a episode about it.

It was malt liquor made by CACs, how is that good for any community?

Plus you don't know what they paid them nikkas.

Promoted to kids? Did they actually do that or just target hip hop heads?

The thing is if sponsors didn't fukk with the culture as most didn't it would be a problem and when they do it's a problem case in point Crystal producers and also Courvoivier fronted on rap with cism.

People who already drink are the target. The commercials are to win them over to a different brand. The premise that they were targeting kids would make it wrong if it were true. But just ads for a hip hop crowd isn't wrong, good or bad just business. I'll admit to being influenced by rap to sample Hennessy, Alize and Heineken. But I was going to drink anyway, didn't do it because of the name drops.

I didn't say it was good for the community plus it said in the video I posted that I see you didn't look and rush to comment said they made money

What kind of idiot needs to watch a 17 min video to figure out that Malt liquor is bad for the community?

Personally, I drank St Ides back in the day..

Wouldn't say that it was good for hiphop nor for the consumer, but the St Ides mixtape was ! Classic joints on it!

OP

Cool that you're trying to connect with older eras. Have archives of old articles from that era with quotes from artists. Will try to find and post here.

But it was mixed reaction. I do remember being shocked that Rakim had an Ides commercial.
