The vid is just your standard rap crap, they're all the same. Its just strange seeing the Camaro Concept there with the Donks, ugly paint jobs and hydraulics. Way out of place, deserves more respect.

I've never used illegal drugs. I've never been arrested. I drink at most a(singular) beer every two weeks. I don't own a firearm.

I don't have a problem with someone not liking that particular song, but putting down an entire genre because of what they assume that the genre is ALL the same.

Im not a fan of rap, but I can tolerate some of it. This song is one that i'm not to much of a fan of, but I say that a lot of times and the song eventualy grows on me. I dont see a problem with someone wanting a certain type or class of cars in their video. Its his song, his video, he can do what he wants. Though im sure GM was watching REAL close that no one touched the concept(LOTS of black suburbans ). Im sure he jumped through a few hoops to get that car in his video too. If the guy likes chevy cars then awesome! nothing wrong with that at all. If it helps them sell, then great! if not, well he made his video and money anyway and entertained some people while at it.

It's a car, and it's in a music video about cars, not to mention a video for a multiplatnum recordings artist with a very large fan base. It was smart marketing.

Exactly. Good promotional tool if you ask me.

Well considering most rap videos feature lamborghini's Ferraris, bentlys, Rolls, and Mercedes..... I think this should raise the level of the car... more than anything else.

personally I don't listen to this style of music and really don't care to. But it's like anything else these guys are just expressing their interest in cars and with the concept and the first gen in nearly the entire video it's going to help put a focus on these cars to another demographic that probably wouldn't think twice. So like has been said before it's a smart marketing move.

Would have been nice to see it race the first gen in the end instead of that Vette though!

I see nothing wrong with it. GM had to have something else cool to put in the video other than the Vette.
