Coca-Cola "Real Compared to What" 2003

[@JasonLee1653]

I haven’t heard this in almost 20 years and one day I was drinking coke. It popped into my head because I’m living so much in the 2000s.

Commercial bro this a whole tv show 😂

[@Gorguruga]

Great song! I do drink Coke so I'd be a hypocrite to hate Common for doing a Coke commercial, even though I got that "evil corporations" point of view. Bottomline is Common represented with some great rhymes so ultimately he spread some real hip hop through a Coke ad.

[@atav220]

yes

And another protest song co-opted by the Big Beverage Corporation. UNREAL!! Nice vocals, lyrics, but ... “I CANT USE IT!!”

[@podbarron]

Ebro sent me here.

I've gotta figure that someone at Coca-Cola was having a dig at George W. Bush with this. War protest song, thinly veiled, aired in 2003. If so, very very clever.

[@Djspingawd201]

Common said “I’m on my vegan journey, I don’t drink coke so NO” Coke: ok we will double the money you get! Common: BET only if I’m “Creative Controler” and I’m NOT holding a can or bottle in my hand💪🏽🔥⚡️ Coke: 🤝DEAL 📈

Still promote it...still selling out

Irony

[@morphorod]

Who’s here from tik tok?

[@crowjones78]

Singing about not selling out while selling out to mega corporation Coca Cola. The lack of self awareness is stunning.
