Was Nas denouncing a Beer company then sponsoring Hennessy an example of his fake righteousness

[Kal-El]

Different times breh....back then a bottle of Hennessy costed 15$. The cheapest bottle of Hennessy today cost 50$. Hennessy XO goes for 230. Obviously not for regular people.

shyt i remember when a bottle of moet went for 20.

What beer company was it?

Might of been old Milwaukee or Coors..

Natty Light.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Is you a rapper or scientist?

 

[Standing on business]

No.

Nas turned down that Coors Light bullshyt specifically because he didn’t want to promote beer drinking to kids. It wasn’t about him not drinking alcohol, it was the message.

Then Dr. Dre’s punk ass came in and accepted that shyt.

Nas promoted Hennessy years later when he was on his grown man shyt. And he actually fukks with Hennessy so he’s keeping it real anyway.

Ain’t nobody drinking no fukking Coors Light.

Imma go with this.

Early 90s, rappers were promoting malt liquor like Old English and St. Isle's. Little kids be drinking that shyt up because they see all the adults drinking it and rappers drinking it.
Hennessy is different at least. They dont directly market themselves towards black community and it's not as cheap as malt liquor.

Show me one coors light ad that directed towards little kids

[UpAndComing]

yall dont have that same energy for other rappers

yall know damn well if this was jay yall would bring this shyt up everytime.

Because other rappers aren't Nas

Except I never said beer ads were targeting children. Kids drink beer because of the adults around them let them drink it and they see their favorite rapper endorse malt liquor on tv. That's enough negative influence.

One word: Kelis.

 

[TEH]

Keep Nas’ name out your mouth Beyoncé Knowles Carter

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

If Beyoncé can go from..
Pay my Bills
To
Black is King

 

[Cladyclad]

That was damn near twenty years ago he said that. A person's views can't change in that time?

And 20 years later u should know alcohol is still poison to the community lol

 

[Robbie3000]

At the time he had a large under 21 fan base. It’s twenty years later. His fans are Middle Aged adults with kids.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

How much influence would a Hennessey commercial starring Nas have on kids?

 

[George's Dilemma]

And 20 years later u should know alcohol is poison lol

The poison is in my veins right now
