Vans Hailin'

You will now consider me the apocalyptic one
After this rhyme, henceforth, there is none
No more will exist, when I emerge from the mist in whence I was born into, scorned...

There’s a strong buzz in hip-hop right now for The Pack and their new joint, “Vans.” It’s a pretty unique song all about the timeless slip-on, Jeff Spicoli favored, checkered footwear.

Just as the song gained some momentum, MTV decided to ban the video because they basically deemed it a commercial for Vans. The Pack joins other scorned groups and songs such as Madonna’s “Justify My Love” and “What It Feels Like For A Girl,” Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up” and even Jacko’s “They Don’t Care About Us” that have the ignominy of being banned from the network.

Another nice call MTV; lump in a song about the favorite footwear of Hyphy rappers, burnout grommets, and aging beach bums with those depicting gratuitous violence, extreme sexuality, racism, and suicide. How about another reality show of Jessica Simpson and her tits.
