Agency Rap Creds
I just read this on a guys blog and if I could figure out how to re-blog it I would. But all I can do is pay homage and respect to you: ‘If This Is A Blog Then What’s Christmas?’
Just bloody brilliant. Really made my day today.
So, for your timewasting delectation, I bring you the UK agencies and their opposite numbers from the world of hip-hop:
AMV: The Beastie Boys. White, middle class, been doing the business for a long time, but just when you think they’ve faded a little, they’re back with a hit.
Mother: Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Unconventional methodology, fine results.
TBWA: Tupac, Biggie, Jam Master Jay. A great past, currently dead but you never know.
Publicis: MC Solaar. Big creative moments rare. French.
Fallon: Jay Z. General standard scarily good.
BMB: Lil’ Wayne. Out of nowhere, getting big fast.
Grey: PM Dawn. Fucking enormous and almost entirely shit. Maybe due a comeback.
W&K: Missy Elliot. Likes to do things differently for the sake of it, but it often comes off.
WCRS: De La Soul. Really nice (biggest hit was in ‘89).
BBH. Kanye West. Confidence backed by quality.
JWT: Dr Dre. Huge. Occasionally.
DLKW: Duran Duran’s cover of 911 is a Joke. Memorable, but not necessarily for the right reasons.
