Hip-Hop Reveals Which Brands Are Hot

Fox News reports that a new study of brand mentions in songs shows what’s cool among the hip-hop crowd — and how fast tastes change. So far this year, 59 different brands have been mentioned 645 times in Billboard Top 20 tunes (mainly hip-hop), according to a survey by San Francisco-based marketing firm Agenda, Inc. Topping the talked-about list this year is Cadillac, followed by Hennessy, Gucci, Rolls-Royce, Nike, Mercedes (last year’s top car), Jaguar and MTV. Foxnews.com has since removed the article.
