“Cruisin in my 64 .. and all the ***** yellin’ …. Let me Ride”. No other car is as synonymous with a whole genre of music as this car is. Paired with Dickie’s, a bandanna and Chuck Taylor’s you’re set to go on a drive-by shooting spree in your local neighbourghood! This car alone is able to embody a whole era of West-Coast rap music. The gangsta glare and the hydrolic system made this an every boy’s dream: Crusin’ down the street smokin’ Indo sippin’ on Gin and Juice with your mind on your money and your money on your mind. Recipe for success shall I say!
Notable Drivers: Snoop, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and any one else on the West Coast with stacks of cash
Erick and Parrish Making so many Dollars they could afford to ride with style. EPMD Probably were the first to ride around in German Luxury Cars and told it to the rest: “While I ride the Benz – You ride the d@@k”. (In your face punchline must I say!) My guess is that even the interior design was all Gucci. Today, 20 years later, Mercedes-Benz is still the top brand to rap about in this year’s top Billboard songs! Wanna be on the charts? Get yourself a Benz first, rap about it and your dream will come true! Das ist ganz einfach …
Cadillac were taken by surprise that the Rap scene had taken the Luxury SUV to it’s heart. “I’m short, so I need trucks to make me look tall,” says rapper Missy Elliott. “I rap about the Escalade because it’s a hot car and everyone has one, so I knew they could relate.” (I think Jermaine Dupri owns one too then)
Judging from the picture, Andre 3000 of Outcase was totally blown away by the handling of this thing.
So common even your kids can relate!!!
Notable Drivers: Missy, Ludacris, Tyrese, Andre 3000 and many many many more
This car costs more than a few houses together but doesn’t stop Rappers from making anthems explaining how much they love to flaunt their cash while everyone else is on wither wellfare or scruck by the recession. While even saving your allowance for a year or so can buy you a bottle of expensive Cristal Champagne, a Maybach is clearly out of your league unless you are Michael Jackson’s kids. So next time Ricky calls you up for a remix make sure you got one of these in the Garage!
See, Rick Ross even made a commercial endorsing the German brand … or wait, that might just be a song from his album!?
Notable Drivers: T-Pain, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West, Jay-Z, R Kelly
In case you don’t own your own empire and dwell on the Forbes list but still desperate enough to have girls running after your car and your money rather than your beautiful personality that nobidy gives a rats ass about, then Sean Combs migh have a simple solution for you. The hip-hop star owns a fleet of super-fast motors and his own gold-furnished plane, but he reverts to his 1958 CORVETTE if he needs to impress the ladies. He says, “If you don’t have a girlfriend and you want a girlfriend, just put on a white T-shirt, some jeans and get up in this, pop the top and drive slowly. I guarantee you, within 20 miles, you’ll have a date.” Think it might have been Eddie Murphy’s favorite too. Price? Say 200 grand for the car, 15$ for the tee, 100 $ for the Jeans and another 100 $ for your sneakers. Guarantee from Puffy? Priceless!
“I’m in my Lambo – faggot” … 50 Cent knows how to put salt on your broke-ass wounds. This car basically says; I got a mansion, about 10 cars and this one is just a gadget since I can’t even drive it that fast in all these traffic jams in the city but hey aren’t I fabulous? This Italian Monster is a boy-toy so it makes you think twice when Missy and Lil’ Kim drive around in them as well. When nobody notices you walking on the street anymore, it’s time to hit the dealership!
Notable Drivers: 50 cent, Missy, Lil Kim, P Diddy
Shouldn’t all DJ’s have their own special edition cars? Just find a car nobody really likes to drive and try to mix it up a little! Judging from the results, there might be a reason this is a first time you see this car. Funk Master Flex looks sooo lonely and regretful to have contributed(?) with his name on this piece of …… truck.
Notable Drivers: let me know if you see one
“RAPPERS, man, too many rappers. I should know.” Pharrell Williams can see the irony. Here he is, the hip-hopper who is so hip it hurts and he’s, discussing how his favorite cars, the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, have become too popular – with rappers. They are so good he got two, one to be driven in and one for himself to drive. “In the early days, the cars were rarities,” he says. So, what are you waiting for? Go Get one or you’re going to be the strange different guy at the party!
I think he’s just window-shopping but rumor has it MC Hammer drives a Dodge Challenger. I guess that sums it all up: when Detroit’s only way to get rid of their cars is to give them out to Hammer -> you hit bottom.
Still shopping around for that record deal? Parking too expensive and rather spend it on studio time? There is still hope! Looking at the brighter side of things, it’s the only car on the list in which you can throw a serious party
