40 Oz To Freedom – The Best St. Ides Raps

 •  News  •  by XXL Staff  •  33 Comments

Yo-Yo & Ice Cube - Yo-Yo proves that St. Ides is an equal opportunity drink because it “wouldn’t be nothing without a woman’s touch.”

EPMD – 40 oz. or a can?

The Notorious B.I.G. – In an interesting nod to the West, Biggie walks through Brooklyn rapping about his love of the West Coast’s malt liquor of choice over the same beat DPG’s used for “New York, New York“.

Rakim- Allah blesses the potent “high gravity” malt liquor.

Cypress Hill - Now we know what Cypress was doing in between the puff, puff, pass.

    damn i had no idea st. ides had such deep roots in the hip hop community..i usually just grab the 3 for $5 joints.

  • The Don

    all right i dont know why i feel this way about these commercials now but im disgusted. When i was younger i thought these commericals were dope seeing my fav artist rappin now that im older i realize that they were selling posion to the youth and also being exploited themselves. I dont wanna hear no shit about “money” or “gettin theres” its really sad that we let ourselves get taken advantage of as a people

  • The Don

    and rakim was in on it this is just sad

  • RIOTLIFE

    Cant believe yall forgot the best one, REDMAN & METHOD MANs joint, though i think its never been officially released. But by far the best song. i even used to play this in the club off a vinyl bootleg… check it

    I liked the Cypress Hill one. They get my vote, Wu-Tang was cool too.

  • el pooh

    I remember back in the early 90 cube and DJ Pooh came up with a whole tape of St Tdes raps like about 10 songs or so. I had it back then but long lost it. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

    The Wu Tang was my favorite in my opinion. Then Da Lench Mob St. Ides commercial and to end it probably the Biggie commercial. They all added a different flavor to the commercials the rappers who participated in them.
