M.Y. Music Rumors: Did Coogi pay Jadakiss for song shoutout?!

Things that make you go hmmmm...

According to wendyista, Coogi payed Jadakiss to make mention of the brand in his song "Letter To B.I.G." that appeared on the Notorious soundtrack and that will appear on his album The Last Kiss that is due for a March 10th release.

The line that they speak of is when he rapped,

"In your memory I keep Coogi in my closet".



Granted, Biggie was a huge fan of Coogi and was the reason why everyone knows about the brand that was originally brought to the attention of the masses thanks to Bill Cosby but damn! This is suppose to be a song where you are paying homage to your slain brother-from-another-mother and you decide to bank on it!

On the other hand, I guess most would say that it is just business and I'm sure Biggie would want for Jada to make a little money off of a song that was dedicated to him, I think. Plus, Hip Hop has been promoting brands forever not to mention for free, and look where it has gotten them. Either, don't name drop in Hip Hop or get compensated when you do.

Cristal has had the audacity to say that they do not want Hip Hop artists promoting their ish after they made sooooo much money off of their free promotion; might as well get payed for promoting, better than showcasing brands free of charge in their videos and songs and getting shoved to the side after they become successful, like they ALWAYS do.
