Chevrolet Sponsors The Game/Travis Barker On AOL Sessions, Still Rocking Slum Village

Travis Barker Joins The Game for AOL Sessions

I'm really interested in what Travis Barker is up to with hip hop and I think we'll be seeing a lot more of him.  I actually wasn't going to post about Barker working with The Game until I started watching the videos on AOL Sessions.

I really dig the stripped down vibe and truly wish Barker's arm wasn't broken.  I generally dislike live drummers in hip hop because they start to sound old-fashioned but Barker seems to have the right idea and I think he fits well with The Game both musically and energetically.

More importantly for ProHipHop, Chevrolet's sponsorship of AOL Sessions puts them in the interesting position of promoting an uncensored series of gangsta rap videos that are readily accessible by little kids.  Hope they don't get bit in the process.

AOL Sessions is also running a Chevy/Slum Village spot that I think came out quite a while back.  Couldn't find a copy but the above video by Automotive Rhythms focuses on Chevy's presence at the 2005 Vibe Awards when they were working with Slum Village.
