Topic: Rap music may be OK after all?

We (or me, particularly) aren't much of a rap crowd, but there's a story here:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/05/showbiz/d … ?hpt=hp_t3

DMX drives a '78 Plymouth Station Wagon...

Any other (quasi) celebrities drive lemony vehicles?

I think the right question is whether any other lemony (quasi) celebrities drive rap-y vehicles.

Re: Rap music may be OK after all?

interesting. googled it and they say it was "badgeless" - also in the vid (on liveleak) you can see it looks pretty damn clean, and sounds like a built up v8. cop asks him to turn it off im pretty sure cuz its goddamned loud haha. its all you hear on the dashcam when the cop gets out of his car.

david spade is known for his grand national daily driver. pretty sure i remember it made an appearance on some show of his.

conan o'brien and his beater SHO, which has had a few appearances in his show and specials/docs

michael winner - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Winner - daily drove an old rolls like the 3pm one, but a convertible (i guess thats the corniche?) that he owned since new. i saw it in person and got to drive it a few years ago - it was beateriffic, pretty worn out.

snoop dogg had a 510 wagon on one of his album covers, and is known for having a pretty cool car collection, stuff like boattail riv, catalina, basically the "other" GMs instead of impalas.

and then there was/is that dude recently (basketball player? football player? i forget/dunno) that had his old beater mazda 626 restored by mazda to brand new condition cuz he loved that car.

Re: Rap music may be OK after all?

Ben from Good Charlotte drives my old 63 galaxie 500xl convertible.  It was redone by the Pimp My ride guys.  My brother told me it was tastefully redone.  Just found a link to a pic, it looks great!

His brother Joel has a big block impala, maybe a 66?

When my brother was visiting in LA, a rapper "The Game" (the guy who's picture was in an infamous Trayvon Martin email) had Gary over and he helped him tune up his big block Chevelle, maybe even LS6 powered.

Unless it's the beastie boys, I'm usually not a fan.  Although there are some pretty good rap "songs" over the years, starting with "Apache".

Without my glasses this morning, I thought for sure this topic read "Rape music may be OK after all?"
