they took the lyrics "baby I got your money" and switched "money" out for "laundry"?
Using black music for goofy/stupid product and appliance adverts is a longstanding white tradition
He may be, but I am sure his family is happy. If they did things right, they are getting paid for this. Hopefully at least. The Wu was notorious for speaking on the ills of the record industry, so hopefully he retains at least some of the rights to his intellectual property.
That is a major stretch to fit the product into the song, who are the ad wizards that came up with this idea? They had to know what the OG song was about. Let's throw a baby in there for good measure. I am guessing whoever is in charge of ODB's song bank doesn't get many offers for advertising, and I don't think ODB would want to make some dollars off of washing machine commercials.
That's awesome, it looked like a fun shoot, even though the commercial itself may be a bit cringe
Saw this the other night on TV and at first I was appalled, but now I find it funny. It's funny.
I hear they added a new "Shimmy" feature to the washer so you can shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yam shimmy ya the dirt right out your clothes!
Nothing like ERA blaming white people for the most benign shit.
Not even that it matters, but the head of marketing for LG USA is an asian woman.

Eh, they've been twisting old rock songs that have very different meanings than the things they are advertising for a long long time.
remember when they used the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth", a protest song, to advertise Miller beer?

Chad and Pharrell had to sign off on it too. Also their publishers.

There was a period of about 6 years that if you went into a Best Buy, in the car audio area that song was always playing loudly to show off the bass. always.
Nintendo certainly missed a trick in the mid-90s by not capitalising on "crusin' down the street, with my 64"...
lol yeah thats it. Again it's some shit, but I'll take it any day over some twee garbage.
edit: looking it up biz Markie did a semi cover of a 60s song. thought it was original.
I mean, Biz's is pretty much a cover of a 60s soul song, so who should really get the credit? Him or Freddie Scott?
There's a sandwich shop here called Old School Wrap that uses old school rapper names for their sandwiches.
Like the Eminham, the Naanorious B.I.G. And there's a special mustard you can add to your sandwiches called the Ol' Dirty Mustard.
It has absolutely no relevance to this thread, but it's trivia that I needed to share and I will never have another opportunity.

the commercial actually plays Freddie's version, so I'd say him.
Can someone tell me how this saves space? It's not a washer-dryer combo, it's two stacked on one another.
Wait, the head of marketing for LG USA is an Asian woman???? I take back everything I said because this one individual isn't white.
Matter of fact ... it seems this bit of trivia has rewritten reality and has erased all instances of classic music by black artists being essentially stolen through shitty record label contracts and used for Coors Light commercials and the like.
I can't thank you enough for completely refuting my previous post, and for refuting the fabric of society at large
I know right. But so long as Biggie is still alive and well Hip Hop will keep getting better.
This was my thinking. If he was alive he'd probably want to be in the commerical.
Well, it has only been 16 years.
Edit: Holy shit...it was actually the 13th of november 2004.
