McDonald’s Rapper Deal Yields Backlash

It would appear McDonald’s efforts to get rapper’s to mention their brand in songs has paid off, or backfired depending on one’s opinion, in the form of a Gatbustaz song, entitled McGangsta, dedicated solely to all things McDonald’s. With the usual intestine busting beat and profanity-laden lyrics, the song certainly mentions McDonald’s but, likely, not in a manner of which McDonald’s would approve. In one of the song’s verses, after telling the window attendant to “shut the fuck up,” the rapper proceeds with:

I tell you what I want
Beef patties’ what I want
Big bum’s’ what I want
Great bitch is what I want

Big mac, fuckin big macs
I like big macs like a ho likes big dicks
shove one in their move, they damn are lovin it

As if to call attention to the idiocy of McDonald’s paying rappers to mention their name, this song ends with the artist calling McDonald’s, we think, motherfuckers. If this is, in fact backlash, McDonald’s may wish they’d never considered this program.

UPDATE: Commenter are suggesting we’ve all been had and that is was an April Fool’s joke. Not a big surprise.
