personally I agree with you. as huge music...Jordan,<br />personally I agree with you. as huge music fan it totally un-nerves me when popular music is commercialized to sell a product. Especially when it is discovered that it was the artist that in fact pushed for it to happen.<br /><br />Makes the song and the artist seam cheap in someway to me.<br /><br />Now, to play the devil's advocate as it relates to the Digable Planets..."As a group" especially, they fell apart and have not recorded anything since their second album dropped back in the mid-90's.<br /><br />And, while Silkworm, AKA King Britt, has sat it with The Roots a few times and Questlove...the rest of the group has not really developed anything mainstream since. <br /><br />Reason I say all this is....'Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)' was and is their most marketable song. Therefore, even now some 16 years later, I am sure it provided them with a nice paycheck. <br /><br />A Paycheck that is needed badly, since they have not been able to complete their new album that was slotted to be released in 2008 sometime.<br /><br />Again, I am with you on principal. Unfortunately and sadly, principle does not always pay the power bill. :)<br /><br />And it does make it worse that it is a freaking laundry soap commercial! <br /><br />KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
