| McRap |
Guardian Unlimited reports: Rap artists are
accustomed to name-checking prestige car, clothing and jewellery brands
in their lyrics. But if McDonald's has its way Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and 50
Cent may soon be giving it up for the humble beefburger.
The fast-food giant is reported to be launching
a campaign that will offer financial incentives to rap artists who mention
its Big Mac burger in their lyrics. McDonald's will not pay an upfront
fee, but intends to pay the artist between $1 and $5 (53p-£2.68)
each time a track is played on the radio. It hopes to have several such
songs on the airwaves by the summer. [see full story for more]-
