Hip Hop and 40 oz's

Back in my late-teens, my friends and I had this urge to drink 40 ounces of Malt Liquor. I think this was primarily due to the brilliant marketing campaign developed by St. Ides(Or perhaps because a 40oz fit easily into the pocket of some Blind Jeans). These days, I never touch the stuff, but back in the mid-nineties if it was good enough for Ice Cube and the Wu; well my friends and I just had to get involved. Below is a collection of St. Ides commercials in mp3 form from some of the best MC's of that time. Enjoy!

I was walking around Soho today, guess I just missed Sam.

Right back atchya...

Mark Jackson at SLAM loves to take the piss at people with screen grabs. We had a game of S.K.A.T.E., and so I thought I would get back at him with some screen grabs of my own.
