The Gap LL Cool J (commercial, 1999)

The Gap ran a series of commercials featuring dancing and singing in front of a white background. These were popular and led to several spin-offs, including variants for Christmas, kids gap and these celebrity musician series.

This one features LL Cool J (I hear ladies love him) doing what started him out, freestyle rapping. He is plugging "easy fit jeans", which was the Gap's version of the oversized jeans style of the late 90s and early 2000s.

This spot aired during the episode "Return to la Grunta" of King of the Hill on FOX on Tuesday, February 23rd, 1999.

Steve Stoute sent me here!

"...For Us By Us on the low" he said while wearing a FUBU hat in a nationally aired commercial for GAP. You simply can't knock the hustle! Gap wanted to align themselves with hip hop, without understanding the culture - this is the epitome of sipping the Kool-Aid and not knowing the flava. (see what I did there?)
