Last week, we laughed at the thought of Trina posing as the spokeswoman for Tax USA but she’s neither the first, nor will she be the last rapper to appear in a questionable advertisement. Artists pairing up with companies and brands have been on the rise since Run-DMC kicked in the doors at the adidas offices and walked out of there with a check and bundles of apparel. And as the number of rappers getting endorsements increased, the more bizarre the results have been. Here are seven bizarre deals we can remember. Feel free to add your own memories to the list.

Ever since he misspelled “Next” it’s been pretty much all down hill.

Wild Suss.
Rap Snacks = One of the greatest things ever created…The Hood needs it to resurge!!
Jay always said Bleak was one hit away. I wonder if “Fructis Flow” was what he had in mind.
He also said “as long as i’m alive he’s a millionaire.”
That line alone made Bleek say “fuck this, i’m good off the early hits”
I cannot believe that shampoo music video exists….wtfx1000
seriously, how much money did they waste on that shit cause I definitely never saw it on tv.
Hov prolly spent more money to help Bleek bury that clip then what was spent producing it.
I saw tht shit on tv. I didnt believ it whn i saw it lol
Wayne looks like he’s taking it in the butt…

Montel Williams with Money Mutual……I never watch long enough to know what that is. I also thought it was random that Flex was in the Verizon commercial a couple months ago. http://blackactors.net/2011/07/flex-alexanders-verizon-commercial-is-no-part-too-small/
Yeah, that Romeo ad is too fuckin funny. Memphis Bleek though…agagagaga
