"But They Look Like Sneakers"
Talk about art versus commerce! Have you guys heard of The Pack (The Wolfpack)? Adidas are so 1985, so these Bay Area rappers are hawking a tribute to Vans. In four minutes, they manage to drop the brand name an astounding 6,835 times.
"If you wanna get right, stop buying those Nikes. Get some new fucking Vans and l bet you look icy." Your move Nelly.
I thought it was a Vans commercial when I first heard it. But they're a real group. And amazingly they haven't been invited to join the Warped Tour.

amazing!!I actually know the pack since i go to Berkeley High (one of their members, lil' uno, is in my math class, ha). It's so annoyingly catchy.
p.s. they don't even get free vans, what a rip off!

Got this rap on but it sounds like urban marketing.
Seriously though, if the wad of cash that guy is holding on The Pack's album cover doesn't come directly from the Vans Corporation, someone is getting totally ripped off.

I'm from the Bay, so everytime I see someone wearing Vans I instinctively murmur "Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers."
Joey, I think these guys wrote the song without prior endorsement from Vans.

I worked at Vans over the summer and I can't tell you how much sales went up because of that song. No, Vans did not endores them, and we don't play the song 24/7 in the store because of all the cussing (it would be offensive to a lot of customers). And though I don't know this for a fact but Vans is probaly distancing themselves from this song so they don't make it look like it was planted which would definatly make the entire thing loose its appeal. Its just a bunch of guys that likes Vans, whats so bad about that?
