Old St. Ides Commercial Featuring Ice Cube & Geto Boys

[stephan83192]

Anybody know the sample to this?

[Hypestyle]

whatever happened to fruit juice drinks from st. ides? they should have gone into health drinks- like with Vitamin water, have different flavors, plus some diet versions.. not everyone is into malt liquor.

[TrueTalkTV]

Oh yes! I remember this joint. GREAT!

[diziamonddave]

geto boys put jolly ranchers and sprite in they ides

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Ice Cube and the Geto Boys. Old school gangsta shit.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

hopefully no one had to read any nikes after this.

[yserrant]

spin at 0:15 FTW.

[FSTA54]

do they still sell St. Ides?? I want one!

[THEREALKING40]

@FSTA54 Yes,they do & no you don't.That stuff tastes like rusty nails,it's disgusting.

[fleshnbone187]

I'm with Chuck D's opinion on alcohol but this song is awesome! More for the line-up than the advertisement

[edgarj23]

Haha!!I had this commercial recorded on pump it up with sista dee(Dee barnes) on vhs back in tha good ol days of real hip hop..

[Tommyvon]

willie d was so hard.

[r8drntn42]

AHHH when hip hop was hip hop

[silence206c]

WTF!!!! talk about stereotype nah sayin

[delltardboy]

haha bushwick is awesome in this

[Hammurubai]

Guys. Your're debating this over an Ice Cube commericall.

[Oafashow]

eazy-e and dj quik both had songs called "8 ball"

quik's sampled heavily from e's. both great tracks

[HenryKrinkleBickle]

Anybody remember the Red Bull commercials? They had some Rasta rapping and a bunch of rottweillers on chains barking in an alley. "Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, red bull is what I'm sayin"

[Freshhhhh1982]

Two so called muslims advertising for an alcoholic drink.smh

[MrMakaveli58]

do you know which year this was made? They're not muslim since birth but converted years later and years after this...

[Freshhhhh1982]

I know they werent muslim since birth. Ice Cube was in the nation of islam when this was made. Thats why common said that line in the bitch in yoo-"And violate you, a muslim drinking brew".

[doox420]

@Freshhhhh1982 have u ever heard of secular vs fundamentalist. you sound like a religion extremist. hes not a saint ya dum dum

[Freshhhhh1982]

@doox420 Secular or fundamentalist it doesnt matter because there is no such thing as god. Your`re so dumb you think you`re smart.

[redcapsnmacs]

@Freshhhhh1982 GOD ISNT A WHITE MAN WITH A WHITE BEARD SITTING ON A CLOUD but to say theres no GOD is like saying theres no such thing as life in the ocean. saying theres no GOD is like saying flowers and insects dont exist. mr.know-it-alls like you only create shit that turns into junk after a while. GOD is lighting and lava. lava makes islands. the designs of life are in the lava. the core of the earth is like a small cool star.

[Freshhhhh1982]

@redcapsnmacs You`re silly.

[ruinawish]

It does matter. God may not exist, but religion still does. So such concepts are still very valid in discussion. It's like saying: "Oh Dracula doesn't exist, so he doesn't matter at all".

[Freshhhhh1982]

@ruinawish lol

[leramones]

what tha fuck

the getto boys went muslim?

[killyourhead]

@MrMakaveli58 Read in a Chuck D interview that Cube had already taken up "counsciousness" (and probably Islam as well) by the time the ads hit the public, because St Ides held on to them, or some of them for quite some time!

Weird how most of these songs are good btw

[datniccaweems]

@Freshhhhh1982 thank you i been syin this for years when i was youngei reay didnt pay no mind bu as i got older and realized what geto boys and cube rapped on there albums about the white man and government and then they make a commercial dealng wt st. ides hat targets the black community its well known they were and cube and them fell for the bait

[fleshnbone187]

@Freshhhhh1982 I know Ice Cube is one of these muslims you talk about but who's the other, Scarface? But Face converted just a couple of years ago, and this was waaaay before that.

I'm not sure if Ice Cube is drinking any alcohol nowadays but he surely did back in these days.

[alexansary]

Bushwick clownin big! that shit is rediculous

[romperstompist]

Fuck it im drinkin on steel reserve"sucks" but also colt 45 "is good"

[Mackadoeshez]

Just found out that "St" in St Ides stood for "satan" as any religious reference related to alcohol is illegal by Law.

I wonder if any of these folks knew that when they put it down for St Ides?

[ogfunk187]

'Saint' Ides - an Irish Saint.

[Mackadoeshez]

Let me restate this- it is illegal to make any type of religous references in relation to any type of alcohol for sale in America- look it up.

Thus the ST in ST Ides is short for satan just like the UN's "luci's trust" is short for "lucifer's trust".

Believe what you wish though but the evidence is out there if you want to find it.

[AnAutumnWind]

More conspiracy theory bullshit. Just watch the damn video. BTW the Lucis Trust was formed in 1920 by a private citizen, a full 25 years before the formation of the UN.

[Mackadoeshez]

Believe what you wish fair enough, AmeriKKKa's foundation is a conspiracy- game recognize game.

I suggest you read up on "lucis trust aka lucifer trust" and you'll find out that it was originally called "The Lucifer Publishing Company" founded by known Occultists Ann Bailey & Helena Blavatsky- do the luciferian math.

Peace

[ChibiNawfside119]

Haha...he made you look like a overzealous dumbass...

[ogfunk187]

Their company is listed as 'Saint Ides Brewing Company' on their website, also see beeradvocatedotcom. Saint Ides is an Irish Saint. 'St.' is always short for 'saint', (which is a religious ref, of course, too)

[MisterMrHunter808]

Actually the name comes from the owners name which is movie producer Steven Nicolides.

[bellcapn]

They had 2 drop sum quick verses. EVERY rapper in a St Ides commercial had 2 drop a quick verse!! Better than all these new fools albums!!

[Triton88Keyz]

REALTALK...

[STRICTLY187mUrdA]

Bushwick is hella tite in this haha

CLASSIC

[Triton88Keyz]

I got chop it up with "bushwick" for almost a hour,& smoked a Nug Blizunt' With the lil dude.He's a trip in realtyme.Dat little niggga; was so damm cool..

[soulmekanik2]

heh das efx comin back on @ the end

[Bakomdig]

isnt atleast the short guy the guy in Dr. Dre's Fuck wit Dre Day video?

[YoungMuthaphuckkinG]

very nice song!

[Txslabhurta]

to blackmilitant...I dont think they feel that bad...they had nothing to do with the ingredients...but it was the new 40oz to drink at tha time..and back then thats what a lot of black men did...drank 40ozs..smoke weed....an talk shit..now u dont see rappers advertising 40ozs any more.. EDUCATION...is what happened...u might see them advertising liquor now like puffy...and if u do anything in excess its going to be bad for you...Drinking, Eating, anything...hell if u drink to much fuckin water

[Blackmilitant421]

I bet these mother fuckers feel bad as hell to find out the ST IDES gave thousands of black men prostate cancer from its ingredients...thats what I call selling out to the man. The whole thing was probably planned

[mikeatris]

I got the full version of this song on a cd that will not play no more. I am trying to just rip this one song. Willie D had 2 more verses on it, Scarface had one more and Bill said 2 more lines. Cube was done after the first verse. Trying to upload it on here.

[kirkwoodywood]

Willie D is a foooooool... lmao. One of my favorite songs was "F--k" A War by Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys. He told it like it was.

[demann71]

bullshit

[mrtuesdaynight1221]

Willie D is the most legit of all the Geto Boys.

[repcrese]

Anybody know this beat they use?

[SippinCoughee]

Willie D is the hardest motherfucker

[Iamfocused1]

I remember Face and Cube collaborating on "Hand of the Dead Body" that was real, but for a St. Ides commercial... Goddamn who's next? Corporations using hip-hop to market. I seen a Colt 45 add the other day shit was def for a younger crowd.

[averagemanonst]

Yeah, like your mother.LOL at that punk.

[nnjvhvhhgc]

Man, shut yo soft ass up.

[icpfan19]

lol

[Crispysmith123]

So many respected names...

Just another example of big money fatcats corrupting youth culture. Get 'em hooked while they're young. Now they market the shit like soft drinks.

Sorry to bitch, just how I feel.

[raulbarrientos007]

i drink to get drunk

[terrybrass]

THis is my favs of the St. Ides shits.

Remember seeing allll of them on Pump It Up.

The Snoop one was good too :)

[foxykitty50]

PUMP IT UP!

[DickBigs]

@foxykitty50 haha hell yea,I remember watching pump it up back in the day!!

[TrueTalkTV]

@DickBigs Yea. I used to see it watching "The Box" (formerly The Jukebox) in Detroit.

[bothwells]

cube and geto boys are fuckin hip hop legends

get tae fuck wt dat sellout shit !!

[will434usmc]

Crooked I was like gasoline, but we used to drink that sh!t...lol.

[ruffbizness]

so good.

[Funkdogg]

what is everybody bitchin' about? just relax. grap a beer or something.....

[chakazulu3000]

i agree w/ you man

[datniccaweems]

fuck cube and all these other sellouts who claim there against the system or the man and then they make these st. ides commercials double malt sellout ass niggas

[TheTallMan35]

If you think this is bad, check out the DJ Pooh St. Ides commercial. Commercialized fools looking like a couple of Amos & Andys. And this came out back when 'pro blackness' was popular among the masses and nobody protested this? I don't get it.

[chakazulu3000]

fuck all that....get your money. unless u giving Cube and the Geto Boys checks, shut the fuck up and dont judge what they do. niggaz always complaining about some selling out bullshit.

[datniccaweems]

fuck them frauds all that political shit they used to talk about and they make st. ides commercials

coons

[chakazulu3000]

Told all my friends

Don't drink 8 Ball, cause St. Ide's is givin ends

Ice Cube- Steady Mobbin'

[datniccaweems]

i dont drink st. ides so forget that

dj quik 8ball

[buhshmuh]

i think u mean eazy e 8 ball

[hilltop7988]

what gets me is ppl, who think there is no difference btw these st. ide's spots and Bud light comm. with pick up trucks and cowboy boots. Both have celebrities who are being paid to do a job, that is target an audience. What they fail to see is that the Bud Light ads differ from the St. Ide's ads in that they aren't targeted at such a vulnerable class. The poor black youth was the target of this ad. These spots would come on b.e.t and the box in mass production during after school time.

[hilltop7988]

I thought Cube was a Muslim, what he doing selling beer.

[saheebsdream]

Preach Brother, I think Ice Cube toyed with the idea of being Muslim when it was fashionable. He was never a full fledge Muslim. He is a Capitalist at all cost. That means he will do anything to make money. Including killing his own people pushing the cheap azz poison malt liqour, which was made by the Kracker along with cheap wine i.e. Mad Dog, Night Train, Boones Farm Apple wine to keep us drunk fighting and shooting each other and for the most part poor and ignorant.

[Blazedoggy]

2 bad actually ice cube never made another song with bushwick after 2 to the head

[mustafahajj]

They had our brothas pushin' that poison. But they had to eat, Bottomline. That poison is legal! End of story!

[saheebsdream]

Suckin di*k and gambling is legal too. You can make a lot by doing these things and more. End of story you idiot!

[mustafahajj]

Who said something about suckin' di*k? Listen here you fag as punk. We were talkin' about rappers pushin' beer. And who in the fuck you suppose to be, Given the chance you'd probably sell ya funky ass!!! How dare you talk down on a man that's working hard and paying his taxes. Cube, and many others blk and white entertainers were paid to market beer, wine, Cig, condons you name it. Its always some broke MF on the sideline with the most to say! Now,I disagree with the beer ads. For each its own!

[saheebsdream]

I see I hit a nerve with you about suckin di*k. You shouldn't take it personal unless you do it for money. It looks like you are the FAG! Anyway, you idiot, all you had to say was you disagree with the ad. The Ku Klux Klan is a legal organization who pays taxes also. I would disagree with a dum nigga doing a commercial for them also and if you are Black, so should YOU!

[lousour]

BIG WU CUBE best 1s

[saheebsdream]

Yo mama was probably drinkin this poision when she was pregnant with you. Dum fu*K

[saheebsdream]

With all the street knowlege these cats had they still sold out to the Kracker for poisoning our people. I Guess you had to take the good with the bad. Dem niggas say they luv us and are 4 us but if paid well by the master they will take the overseer position get the money and fu*k us in the azz with the masters whip.

[RegentDevil]

shut the fuck up, you're retarded

[igot55konit]

Saheeb...You speak the truth.....& the truth is always cuts the deepest ......Dont Hate of Saheeb yall.....I'm used to like Cube & GB but look at this vid?!?!?!...The devil disguises his trickery!!!!

[saheebsdream]

Thank you igot55konit, This reply. to my post, lets me feel that at least everyone has not gone mad.

[datniccaweems]

you right homey

[saheebsdream]

Many are called and few are chosen. You the few who chose to see the the thruth datniccaweems.

[Dshot80]

Ice Cube and The Geto boys.... What a dream team!!!

[KrfNYC]

Wu-Tang had the best St.Ides ad, followed by Biggie.

[CDP76]

Sorry, Cube's joint took the crown. And then Rakim's next.

[KrfNYC]

Never

[saheebsdream]

Wu-Tang huh. Tell me something. As glorious and historical as Africa is, how come this group choose to worship and glorify Asians? Wu-Tang is a joke on YOU! Self-Hatred

[KrfNYC]

They don't worship asians. Wu-Tang is a kung-fu style that is invincible, and since they see themselves as invincible in hip-hop, they call themselves the wu-tang clan. So what, they like kung-fu movies? Is that a crime?

[sugafoot777]

it's so funny because evrybody was saying hammer was a sellout for doing pepsi and taco bell commercials but these dudes are pushing liquor to kids LOL But the commercials were the bomb though. advertising machine cares nothing for our people--or any people for that matter

[poorlilrichboyy]

this was the beginning of the end for hip hop. when They started throwing dollars at US. oh well that was the past, this commercial is still tight ass ish.

[deeruck2]

[sugafoot777]

ill4shorty, other than the use of the word n***as, you def have a point!

[caressnocaress]

[gastonarchibald1977]

[marcusaurelius1221]

This is awesome.

Where the hell did they show these commercials?

I've never seen a commercial for St. Ides in my life, let alone one with big rappers! (And a particularly little one. Thanks for that, that's the first time I got a good look at Bill's whole body.)

[foxykitty50]

I recorded this during an episode of Pump It Up with host Dee Barnes.  It was a hip-hop video show in the early 90's. It aired on Fox at midnight, Saturdays.

Holla

[alabamapianoman]

They used to rock this on that old video channel called "The Box" where you could phone in video requests.

My cousin and me were watching, one night, and this commercial came on...we immediately went out and got a 40 each of St Ides, and we were tore out da frame by the time we finsihed the bottle.

[jkbezo]

Taste like shit, but sure brings back memories.

[foxykitty50]

Certainly does taste like doo-doo.

[earlshog]

and St Ides wanna party, buy the twelve pack, case, or the forty

[regulatorzone]

omg DOPE!

[regulatorzone]

omg DOPE!

[Equal420]

[LPOSLA]

Willie D sounds like a crazy ass Mr.T hollerin for some damn St.Ides in this commericial.

Good idea but a decade too late hahaha

I might be biased, but I think this song is the best of all the ads.

[aharris82]

UGH!!!!! I've watched almost all of the St. Ides commercials on youtube and thought all the rappers should of made their songs into full tracks to put onto a soundtrack for the beverage...it would of been ill....
