10 Most Embarrassing Instances Of Product Placement In Music

1. Jay-Z €“ Tom Ford

€œI don't pop molly, I rock Tom Ford€. Repeat after Jay-Z: €œI don't pop Molly, I rock Tom Ford€. One more time? €œI don't pop molly, I rock Tom Ford€. Released from his 2013 album Magna Carta Holy Grail, Tom Ford is all about one thing: Tom Ford clothing, named after the fashion designer of the same name. Featuring lyrics sure to please the education system (don't do drugs! Buy expensive clothing!), the song employs recognition by repetition, drilling the brand into listener's heads and implying it's infinitely cooler to wear Tom Ford clothes than to do ecstasy. Hilariously, the song was previewed in a Samsung-sponsored commercial for the album, which basically amounts to product placement Inception. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flyPtRdcSMc
