Common - Peace Love Gap 2006

I caught this commercial over the weekend. It is Gap's new Holiday commercial called 'Peace Love Gap' featuring Common. The music was produced by will.i.am. The Gap usually has what I call "stand out" commericals which are done with creativity and music. I think they did a good job with this one too.

BTW, Common's last album, 'Be' was off the hook!

I think these spots are well done - except for rhyming "hood" with "hood" several times.
But my first reaction was 'sell out' and still is -- I'm pretty appalled that Common would do this "hoodie" promotion. I enjoy his work and seeing him live, but his rep has dimmed in my eyes. I thought of him as an "artist" - now to me he is just like the rest of the musicians who sell their souls for a few dollars.
