Branded Products Hip Hop Needs
I was thinking about controversial products related to hip hop that have yet to be branded. Big Boi's already breeding pitbulls and I'm sure there are opportunities to buy pitbulls from other rappers. But if I can get Jay-Z sneaks and Master P rims, why can't I get a Snoop Dogg branded Glock? Where's my Bow Wow taser and my Lil' Kim pepper spray?
Remember that XXL cover with 50 Cent holding a crossbow? Yeah, G-Unit arrows, boyee! And for close work, a Fat Joe switchblade.
Heck, how about a franchised Hip Hop Gun Shop? Now if I can just find some gun-toting venture capitalists, I'm good to go. Early retirement, here I come!
How about some Gucci Mane "oh so icey" brass knuckles? What do you think of the announcement to develop "hip-hop" fashion style for McDonald's uniforms? Will this attract kids of color to work at McDonalds for minimum wage? If so, is that a good thing?

I like the Gucci Mane "oh so icy" brass knuckles! It would actually be fun to do a longer list connecting weaponry to hip hop stars and related figures based on their lyrics or reputation, from a Chuck D Uzi to a Kimora Lee Simmons stilleto.
I'm going to post on the McDonald's uniform (belatedly) but I don't know what it will do for recruitment or what to think about it, really.
