St. Ides = G.O.A.T. Beer Commercials

About a week or so ago, I engaged in a intoxicating conversation about St. Ides "Premium" malt Liquor. Ahhhh, the legendary logo, the fine malt aroma, the affordably cheap price, the countless hip hop references , and of course, the commercials. Long before rappers sipped syrup, Courvoisieur, Patron, Grey Goose, or Crysal, they chugged 40s. And St. DIes was the first alcohol company to have rappers push their beverages. Sorry Ciroc. They had some of the dopest emcees in the game making commercials for this brew. It was genius. In honor of the Crooked I, let's take a look at some of their best commercials...Because the summer is quickly approaching, and there's nothing better than chillin on the stoop, having a cold one.

*Editor's note, there is a dope commercial with Nate Dogg singing, but i couldn't find it on YouTube. It would probably rank #3. And the writers of this blog do not condone drinking St. Ides. That shit gives you a nasty hangover.

5. Ice Cube & The Geto Boys.

I still don't know how they got 4 dudes to all rhyme in only 30 seconds, but this commercial is dope. Bushwick Bill dancing in an orange jump suit, how could you go wrong? People forget how hard the Geto Boys were...




4. 2Pac & Snoop Dogg

Two of America's Most Wanted couldn't throw a gangster party with out their Special Brew.



3. Ice Cube

Cube was the first emcee to endorse St. Ides. He was also the first gangster rapper to make kid's movies. But in his defense, he drops probably the best line in any commercial: "Get your girl in the mood quicker, get your Jimmy thicker, with St. Ides malt Liquor"



2. Wu-Tang Clan

Meth, Rae, Ghost, U-God, and RZA let the world know that St. Ides rules everything around them.



1. Biggie Smalls

The beat is so sick, and Big's flow is almost as sweet as Kiwi Strawberry Berry Special Brew.
