    I’m not a big hiphop fan, but isn’t a lot of hiphop also about branded alcohol? Certainly plenty of rappers have started their own alcohol brands.

      I don’t listen to a lot of pop hip-hop any more, but I had to drink a lot of Henny and Bombay in my late teens to early 20s because of the brands in songs and people I hung out with exclusively drinking them. I am finally starting to like Gin now that I know how to make drink and not just doing shots of it.

      Can’t comment because I don’t listen to much hip hop. But it isn’t a far stretch to think the same factors play a roll in what music gets produced and pushed.
