I always thought it was illegal to deface U.S. currency. But I guess it’s legal and appropriate to take a photo of Abe Lincoln from a $5 bill, dress him up in “typical” hip-hop gear complete with headband and stud earring, give him some Ebonics vernacular and slang cool nifty hip-hop words like “holla” and you have yourself Subway’s newest ad campaign for their $5 footlong sandwiches. Some activists are screaming it’s racist, others say it exploits hip-hop. WoooHa.com just says “This is lame.” See for yourself at Subway Fresh Buzz.


I like it… but it doesnt make one get a Subway sandwich!
Agreed. Not racist. Not really offensive. But just dumb.
There is no culture. hiphop is a joke..
Corey: How can you say hiphop has no culture when I see you run a hiphop website? Can you explain further? Just curious is all.
Its just goofy to me and shouldnt be taken so seriously. All in good fun man dont escalate the hate!
