the ads for albums in particular
you know, like those ads for unknown rappers with albums like 'number 1 in tha game', featuring the hits 'cash and hoes' and 'pimps in tha hood' (featuring z-money), and the brand new club banger 'D.E.E.P.S.O.U.T.H.'
anyway, in a copy of the source sports (the first, i think) there was this ad
it had more writing on it too
one of the most anticipated albums of 1998
is coming sooner than you think
features the platinum #1 rap single
"deja vu (uptown baby)"
hip hop's new party anthem
this was all brought back to my mind when i saw a snippet of classic albums program profiling steely dan's 'aja' (an album i know nothing about). apparently lord tariq and peter gunz sampled a song of the album, in creating "hip hop's new party anthem"

i figured i'd check 'make it reign' out for the first time, so here it is
an okay track, i guess
other memorable ads from that issue of the source sports:
big pun
the album capital punishment
featuring the smash hit
i'm not a player, stlll not a player
charli baltimore
from the forthcoming album "ice"
featuring the smash hit "money"

da game is to be sold, not to be told
i knew (and still know) nothing about these albums, but these ads just always made me laugh
and magazines like the source and xxl are full of them even today

The ads in XXL that always make me laugh are the dodgy ones for videos of large-butted women... they always have titles like "Bootyful View 4" and "Party Booty 5" or my all-time favourite title "Damn... she thick!" (yes, that is an actual title)
That's awesome Tim! I remember the sort of pictures that went with the ads - some guy on a throne made of gold, a fire of $100 bills crackling away wearing a floor length fur coat and holding a walking stick with a diamond on the end - good times.
