RAPPERS LIKE THEIR BENZS

According to someone who sat down and counted, in 2005 Mercedes was the most popular brand name in rap songs which made the Billboard Top 20. In 106 songs, Mercedes got 100 mentions; followed by Nike with 62 and LiqourSave At Kwik Save at third with 62. Alright, Cadillac came third.

It's not clear how many of the top ten name droppers paid for their appearance:

1. Mercedes-Benz
2. Nike
3. Cadillac
4. Bentley
5. Rolls-Royce
6. Hennessy
7. Chevrolet
8. Louis Vuitton/Cristal (tie)
10. AK-47

50 Cent was the most commercial rapper, naming 17 products in seven songs; it's rumoured plans for an eight single would have consisted entirely of dodgy web addresses for viagra sites and public service announcements.
