Branding In Hip-Hop

*Warning : Explicit Content...Obviously though, right?

I have created this blog as a way to show the relationship between branding and hip-hop. Branding is more than just a name and logo. A brand has a culture and a background. They symbolize an idea. Rappers, using heavy metaphors, use brands as a way to creatively express their ideas and overall messages.

I've been obsessed with hip-hop since I was 6. Figured I would create something related to it while utilizing my media/advertising background. So enjoy the product placement!

Pharrell - The Message (Freestyle)

Esquire and GQ, Don’t kid yourself trying to say me too/ Rigged yourself of thinking that me is you/ You aint me and nigga you cant be!

When it comes to fashion, Pharrell is the most iconic figures in hip-hop.  With multiple clothing line endeavors, timeless hits and a personality that gets him fame all over the world, Pharrell truly does deserve the magazine stories that focus on his style.  With Esquire and GQ coverage, there is no one that can do it like Pharrell.  And he stresses this point to anybody who thinks otherwise.  So don’t rig yourself into think you are like the hitmaker.  

The day you get GQ and Esquire praising you, then maybe you can say me too.
