I think that GangStarr sang it originally.\n\nSo wassup? You know we can't be havin that\nSon there's rules you're supposed to go by and this is my habitat\nYou say you're R E P R E S E N T I N G\nYou're fronting boy come against me\nYou're crazy soft while I come off with credibility\nYou're living in a fantasy world kid you're killing me\nI start to work out you start to merk out\nMy shit be crazy raw and out here I got more clout\nI'm right in your streets, like I'm Urban Outreach\nI don't mean to preach but I'll impeach your phony form of speech\nRhyme perfection, injecting like the surgeon\nWhile you be in the club posing, trickin always splurgin\nWhatever you got, I'm gettin more\nSee you're insecure, and you can catch my verbal four-four\nNow you're facing me, I'm your ultimate challenger\nIt's the Avenger, your fate is on my calender\nNotice the spirit I posess is more than holy\nI'm Gifted, Unlimited, ahh fuck the rest you know niggaz know me\nMy lines illuminate your whole spectrum\nCrush your dome section, punks I wreck em, mics I bless em\nI don't know why, MC's would want to test the man so fly\nMaster of self gaining wealth\nCause I'm a mastermind, I stack my rhymes\nJust for the rainy day, and you can pour out your forty\nfor all the rappers I slay, I bring the bounty back\nI got more game than the Mack, when I procees to feed the masses\nI come right and exact, and all those null and voids\nThey shall be destroyed, so don't be stickin our your hand\nCause you ain't my fuckin homeboy\nI celebrate after each duck I eliminate\nThis rap game they desecrate, I'm back to set it straight\nI'm self-made and self-taught\nYou're style you bought, plus\nI got the fundamentals handed down from my pops\nHobbes your mission, is worthless\nYour style's mad nervous, let's strecth out all our lyrics\nand let's see whose go the furthest, word cause\nIt's puzzling how trifling you be\nYou're faking making people think that you're a true MC\nYou best flee, because I've come with the science\nI'm gonna melt down your lies and unmask your phony alliance\nExtreme house winds, will bring electrical shockwaves\nKnocking you out the box kid, is something I crave\nYou were gassed from the beginning so your bubble must bust\nI've been laying in the cut, to tear your bitch ass up\nSo wassup?!\n\n\nGang Starr are one of hip-hop's most admired acts ever. \nThe duo's legacy is nothing short of legendary -- in terms of influence -- and they arguably belong among the greatest hip hop groups of all time. \nThey are composed of the MC Guru and DJ Premier, and are based in Brooklyn, New York. \nDuring their carreer the duo basically epitomized the New York City hip hop sound. \nThe entirety of Gang Starr's catalog, especially Step in the Arena (1991), Daily Operation (1992) and Moment of Truth (1998) are well-respected among critics and hip hop heads alike. Their track "Jazz Thang", featured on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film Mo' Better Blues, helped establish the sound of jazz rap, although they themselves consider their sound solely straight hardcore hip hop.\n\nThe group was founded in 1987 with Guru, DJ 1,2 B Down, Mike Dee and various producers, such as Donald D, J.V. Johnson or DJ Mark The 45 King. In 1987 and 1988 they released three 12" vinyl singles on the legendary Wild Pitch label, and in 1989 Guru and DJ Premier (then working under the name Waxmaster C) met for the first time. In the same year they released their first single "Words I Manifest" and went on working together as a group for six albums, a 2 CD "greatest hits" compilation and numerous singles and soundtrack contributions.

you mean the one thats been covered THOUSANDS of times and is constantly on MTV?  Talking about being "crunk" and how "they roll" be it in cars or with paper?  Or the one that blantly rips off completely recognizable guitar riffs or hooks from an older song  to sound like the artist wrote it and only ones that will completely recognize it is Whitey and the only reason he'd say something is to "bring a brotha down" ?

The star of the original adverts with the dodgy tune was Angus Deaton!  He looked hilarious - they might have them on You Tube possibly so you can see the pesky things!\n\nDoesn't quitre work though with William Shatner on the Bran flake trail...

I don't know the title of the song--I don't even think it's a song. It's short, ergo it must have been composed/made solely for the commercial.

LOL. I know, isn't it annoying when commercials get all "hip" on ya? Seriously. It's super annoying. Or, the ones with the dance beats? ugh.

The song is called "How Can I Tell You" and the version in the commercial is by Cat Power (Chan Marshall).\n\nNow.. if someone can find a full MP3 of it... share! :)
