Jay-Z's Best Commercials (And A Hilarious One With 50 Cent)
We all know Jay-Z knows how to rap. We all know he knows how to marry people. (He picked Beyonce, the world's coolest woman.) And we all know dude knows how to make a dollar. But it also happens that Jay's never made a misstep in the world of making commercials. No Shake Weight ads for this guy; dude's had good taste since jump. That's more than MC Hammer can say. (No offense.)
We scoured the YouTube vaults for the best clips of Jay-Z pimping products, and there isn't a cheesy one in the bunch. Well, except for the one he did with 50 Cent, which gets an honorable mention. Take a look below, and let us know your favorite in the comments.
4. Jay-Z's 2012 Rocawear commercial
In 30 short seconds, Jay manages to not only give us his entire life story, but also makes me wish I was a kid from the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn and I became a world famous rapper and started my own clothing line. I want to go to the next mountain with you, Jay. Call me.
