McDonalds is offering to pay artists to namecheck the Big Mac in their songs

[FunkyHiFi]

According to Advertising Age magazine, the fast food chain will pay rappers up to £2.80 ($5) every time a song namechecking the burger is played.

McDonald's said the US deal reflected the appeal of hip hop to young people.

However, critics said the tie-up was "deceptive" given that the songs would appeal to children, for whom obesity levels have become a major concern.

Wow, I don't know what to say about this.

Very sad, is all I can think of. And if a rapper actually agrees to do this....... :( :( :(

shit, I should just make a song where I say "Big Mac" repeatedly for 5 mins straight. $$$ (y)

[FunkyHiFi]

I wonder if this is retroactive. Because if it is, all those rappers that used "mackin' " could make some extra bucks real quick!

I don't think it would make a difference HOW many times you say "Big Mac" in the song. They just give you $5 every time the song is played on the airwaves. Which isn't really small fries...
