You’ve heard Coolio’s “Cruisin”, he says, “Sport in a ‘vette brings me strapped….” What about Kanye West’s new project-rapper, Cyhi da Prynce’s, “Fast Lane”? He goes, “Black Pontiac in the H-O-V, bumping hip H-O-P”. Eminem even went as far to star in a Super Bowl commercial for the struggling car company. Rappers have been supporting the U.S. car industry for years. They have promoted brand awareness and promoted their rides in snappy 4/4 rhyme schemes. While General Motors has seen a slight rise in stock, they’re still in deep sh-t (Toyota $83/share). However, rappers continue to mention their favorite American-made cars. Of the genre of ‘U.S. car fancy’, here are the five best examples:
