Mac Dre – Feel ‘N Myself? Hunid Racks
Energy Drink
Just as some misjudged rap music, this writer thought the energy drink fad would prove short-lived. Then the Bay Area-based Hunid Racks brand appeared, featuring stacked greenbacks for logos, its advertisements endorsements by rappers. Again this writer erred by predicting a brief life span.

Exhibit A: The “Fiascogate”: Lupe gets asked to cover a couple Tribe Called Quest songs for the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Show where he proceeds to mess up a couple of the lyrics. He then posts a couple blogs about how he never grew up listening to ATCQ, but did it because Q-tip is his [...]
