Last night Jay-Z and Coca-Cola unveiled the redesigned Cherry Coke packaging for the first time. Jay-Z worked closely with the RocaWear designers to get the new look (which is located above). Just another venture for Jay, you can’t knock his hustle.

WOW JAY’S A HUSTLA FOR REAL, THAT CAN DESIGN IS BANGIN
EVERYONE LOOKS GHETTO-CHIC!
No amount of endorsements, advertisements, or diplomatice missions that Jay-Z gets will surprise me. This is his time to cash his chips in. He’s established to his backers that he was and is willing to do and be anything that they want him to be in order for him to be accepted. Now is his time to reap the rewards. He’s not even a relevant artist anymore. He’s creatively tapped out because he’s morally bankrupt. The nigga really never had anything of merit to say but he could talk that hood shit better than anybody else. Now he can’t even do that, but he doesn’t have to because he’s set himself up to where his sponsors will take him the rest of the way. That’s probably why he cut off Dash.
#59, I see your point, but there’s a HUGE difference in being multi-talented and doing 10 different things for a buck.
In my OPINION Jay masters nothing. His clothes are trash, except for ppl who like walkin around with HUGE stupid- looking Rocawear logos all over themselves.
His rapping is mediocre at best and
the shit he’s plugging sucks. C’mon budweiser?
Who drinks that piss-water anyway?
The only thing Jay and his ilk are good at is marketing themselves to ppl that BLINDLY buy into the trash they sell, making them all the richer so they can splurge on vacations and bling and diamonds, PERIOD.
I think what the other poster was trying to say is that these mainstream “artists” don’t do anything for their CRAFT, but for the Amerikkkan dollar.
Are any of you familiar with the racism lawsuit in which Coca Cola had to dish out 190 million+ dollars to some 2,000 AA employees??
Please–I’ll stick to water.
dang K–didn’t realize we were posting practically the SAME message!
@ #52 I got Lupe Fiasco’s CD too, and even though I have had it for a while I can still listen to it from beginning to end.
@#59 it’s not that I trying to be a backseat driver, but what I am saying could go for everyday people too. I think at times we all spread ourselves too thin.
But the key thing that you said is “serious interest”, we all may like to do several different things but at the end of the day there has to be at least 1 or 2 things that you take seriously.
That is what makes a great artist, singer, actor, doctor, teacher or whatever: a person that takes that 1 particular craft or occupation seriously and tries their best to master it.
Right now I am studying education and when I finally do become a teacher I should hope that with years of focus, pratice and study that I will eventually become not just another teacher, but a Great teacher that will leave a positive influence for my students and the profession in general. This is path that I have chosen for myself.
I don’t see how anyone celeb or not could give any serious attention to their craft or chosen path if they are dabbling in so many different things.
It can’t be about the money all the time.
In the case of someone like Jay-Z, if you already have over a 100 million dollars do you really need another 5 or 10 million to add to it.
FUCK endorsements, I say! Let’s come out with our own damn beverage!
Let’s get George Washington and all the other slave master presidents OFF our FUKKIN money. That’s an achievement!
*sighs* okay. i’m done ranting for the day.
The can looks cool, although I don’t really see the point, it’s still nasty cherry coke in a pretty can and still won’t be buying it… What dee good hell is wrong with Cassie’s hair??? It looks like rats have been sucking on it!!!
@66
We have to get our own country and government for that. There won’t be any marching and “freedom speeches at Washington D.C.” that would get something like that accomplished.
@65
That’s good I’m glad somebody bought it, a lot of these kids today think that Pretty Ricky and Bow Wow are better than Lupe but NOPE!
man looking at that can makes me thirsty tooo ha ha ha .but for real go jigga i love ya kisses. and the simmons girls look too cute. & cassie as well .love fabolous even though he look a bit off in dat pic. and nick i like you and every thing. but yo bony ass is annoying the hell out of me fo’reel.go sit down some where and did some say that was debrah coxx where have you been girl
oh and i love pepsi but jay got me thinking coke fo’life you know thats the same thing bobby brown said (starts laughing)
YALL PEOPLE ARE SOME HATERS TO THE MUTHA FUCKIN FIF POWER I HEARD IT ALL ONE HE IS A GREAT RAPPER PEOPLE BEING SAYING THAT SINCE HE FIRST PICKED UP THE MIC DO YOUR RESEARCH .AND HOW MANY TIMES DID JAY (SAY FUCK RAP YOU CAN HAVE IT BACK). HE SAID A BILLION TIMES HE WAS A HUSTLER MORE THAN A RAPPER. HES LOVES RAPPING BUT HUSTLIN IS HIS NUM1 LOVE .AND HE IS NOT BEYONCES SIDE KICK. HE THE ONE WHO PUT THAT BITCH ON THE MAP. SURE SHE WAS GREAT IN DESTINEYS CHILD. BUT BUT SHE AN’T GET FAMOUS UNTIL HE CALLABORATED WIT HER. WHY DO YOU THINK HES ALL OVER HER ALBUMS NOT ONE. BUT BOTH .DAMN HATERS I TELL YA YALL NEED A LIFE.

WAITING ON THE NEXT ALBUM AND YOU ARE CUTE FUCK DA HATERS)
Where was Beyawnce?
@ #72
You don’t bullshit around do ya? I’m feelin you on that one!
I dig Hov for everything he’s getting into. Just because you started off rapping, doesn’t mean thats the only thing you have to do to get yours. At the end of the day, Jay is making his own money. As soon as yall start handing over your $150-a-week checks to dude, don’t knock him for getting out there and getting it the way he does. If it means getting paid out the ASS, hell, I’d draw on soda cans all day too.
Ok, so they had trouble selling cherry choke , so they decided to get a black sellout to reposition it as a drink for black people. After all, black people are suddenly a hot target segment. The marketers moved away from the Hispanics. Who else for teh job, but Joe Camel? He probably didnt even have anything to do with the marketing whatsoever. They just licensed to use his name and image. Please!
Make that $$$$$ Jigga!!!! I wonder if Bill O’Reily will have anything to say about this? He didn’t like Luda endorsing the product. P.E.T.A maybe the only ones protesting. Jigga ain’t know it was raccon dog in the coat! Ok why the hell is Cassie there?!?!? She needs to be working on her vocals. If I was her manager that heifer wouldn’t see daylight till her voice was right!!!!
Damn, is there anythinh Jay wont do for money? lovin the can though.
I been saw the new cherry coke look in the grocery store…so wat is this just a way of lettin every1 kno that jay-z was apart of the new look
JAY Z is ugly. Jay Z is old. JAY Z is ugly. Jay Z is old. JAY Z is ugly. Jay Z is old. JAY Z is ugly. Jay Z is old. JAY Z is ugly. Jay Z is old.
Ok, now we can all move on from that. #34 is interesting, I tend to agree. That’s what American culture has become. Everybody wants more money so they can buy more things….
You’re fucking kidding me right?
He “worked closely with the Rocawear designers”…itz a goddamn can!!!!! A third grader with krazy drawing skillz could have done that! He’s a grown ass man and Im not impressed.
They could have Paris Hilton and Fire crotch Lohan selling the shit while marketing Kim Kardashian, Superstar and showing Ray-J lick it off her cunt and ppl would still drink it BECAUSE ITS DAMN GOOD SODA.
PPL R SO NAIIVE! Its not the person who sells tha product, it is the reputation of the product…and Cherry Coke is some good ass soda.
Hustle my ass…Im happy that he is making his.
It is just awkward that ppl on the Raven post were dogging her out about not being worth 400 mil, but they sit up here and praise this negro for selling something that COULD and WOULD sell w/o him????
I see a breach in this contract soon!
*…happy that he is making his money, but this is getting corny and very commercial.
I know that rap is not supposed to be a lifetime gig, just a segway into better and bigger things (like drug dealing—yall know Im not lyin), but this is small shit—-NO MATTER HOW MUCH $$$ U R MAKING.
This is some rookie NBA shit—and at BEST—a new artist in the Pop game…..the Jay-Z blue is where it should have stopped.
I mean damn, this is getting ridiculous.WTF r the newbies supposed to do to get endorsements when the vets are being media whores?
30 is NOT the new 20 boo boo. (Sidebar: wtf do ppl rock that song so hard when he’s basically dissing MOST of America, being as though he is part of an elite 3-8% w/all the wealth—pen ur minds ppl)
@31: Pharrell is a “beat maker”. Jus Blaze, Timbaland they are Beat Makers. J is a rapper. What the fuck is you talkin bout? You was just so dead set on puttin someone on blast you fuck urself up…
Yeah they are called producers…Jay doesn’t create the beats he just picks the ones he likes and rhymes over them. First listen in hip-hop. Learn the difference between these two…
Nice looking can there. Cassie looks adorable. Deborah Cox looks nice. I haven’t seen Wyclef in so long. Fabolous looks retarded in that shot. Angela and Vanessa look so blah at times, this is one of them times.
#34 you’re right on.
I guess when you have $40 mil it’s not “enough” so you strive for $50 mil. Then that too becomes a pittance cause your mans is pulling his weight at $80. So now you’ll do damn near anything to outshine the competition, including selling sh!t you probably don’t even use. I mean forget about working on an album or movie that will outshine the competition.
At this point celebs who push a lot of products are money hungry to me. I mean dam. He don’t even got seeds (supposedly). Does he plan on leaving all this behind to Do or Die Bed Stuy? When is enough $$ enough?? I was feeling Jay back in the day but now he’s turning into a money whore. Not a good look Jay. Not a good look at all.
See, money changes EVERYTHING.
i agree wit chu #50.
what else do Jay wants to do, invent, begin (hell ya’ll get my point) now? he be doin some weird things for money such as the Jay-z blue. What the fuck?
What he go do next? start a damn furniter/kitchen supply line?
and to see all those celebs go to a soda can being revield. sorry…
first of all #31 we aint in school u dont got 2 b writing in paragraph format. and what da hell r u talkin bout sayin dat Jay-Z aint da best rapper alive! uv course he is! and listen “sweetie” we all could tell the difference and u no Jay-z got mad tallent 4 rappin, have u eva haerd dat nigga freestyle GOD DAMN!!!get it wen i said ALIVE not EVER I said ALIVE, Get it right and get it tight, YOUNG HOV IS BACK!!!!
#34 4 real how celebs r tryna do everything. especially Beyonce, am I da only one noticing this but Beyonce is everywhere. She made a clothing line, has her own perfume, tryin 2 re release her b-day cd, in dreamgirls,she’s a character in disney world, on every talk show there is,having auditions, making irreplaceable in spanish. im like what the fuck! can you stop being everywhere 4 at least a day damn!

#63 shut the fuck up! dont hate on Jay-z cuz hez better than ur ass. Im not a fan of jay-z but be 4 real though, u no Jay-z got some nice clothes the shoes r fuckin ugly but the clothes are HOT!and cherry coke? yuk! i would never drink dat shit in my life, but i would carry around the bottle.it lucs kinda cheezy 4 men though.but Jay’s ight, i think he is overrated.
It figures that JIGGA would ENDORSE COKE, with them COKE-BOTTLE @SS LIPS!! LMAO!!!!! He better WORK!
Nick Cannon is so d@mn GOOFY and CORNEY as HELL!…NEXT!
FABULOUS does NOT look FABULOUS in that OUTFIT AT-TALL!! Looks like a D@MN CLOWN! LOL!
AND I thought that WAS CHRISTINA MILIAN at FIRST untill I looked closer and seen it was CASSIE’s NO-TALENT having @SS!
… VANESSA and ANGELA SIMMONS are both FAB chicks. I like them.
Jay-z is tryna do everything. what da hell is he going to do next? create a cereal line?(rocaflakes).sit yo ugly old ass down cuz ppl want 2 live their life without you in it!
jay needs to sit his ass down, kingdom come was bad I guess he made this retarded coke can to make up for that
Cherry Coke and 151!! I think I’ll have some right now.
#90, “haylo”, you burnt out CUNT! Fuck you.
For you to sit here and compare two ppl you don’t even know already tells me you have the IQ of a FRUIT FLY.
Obviously I hurt your poor feelings b/c you own a few of sean carter’s cheesy ghetto gear.
I’ve got my own style, so I couldn’t understand your infatuation with him and his stuff.
You mentally challenged son of a bitch, I’m just giving your confused, young black ass a DOSE of REALITY.
Whether you wanna SWALLOW it or CHOKE on the mothafucka the choice is yours. You decide.
“”I’M NOT A BUSINESSMAN, I’M A BUSINESS MAN, LET ME HANDLE MY BUSINESS,DAMN”
GOTTA LOVE HOVA, WELL ATLEAST I DO!
Nobody fuck with Natural Mystic! My feeling is hurt and the comment wasn’t even pointed in my direction,LOL. DAMN!!! “Burnt Out CUNT” I gotta use that one. Words can cut deep in the CL.
I gotta be real here…I have every single one of his albums, even the Black Album Acappella. And Kingdom Come was by far not my favorite. Besides the obvious commerical hits he’ll have with Anything and Hollywood, the rest of the CD is awful. Sorry Jay, not your best work.
Yeah just for your FYI you should check out the new and the latest news on JAY-Z how he went to Africa and dissrespected a woman actually hitting her in front of nothing but a room full of Black men. They did nothing to protect her at all this made me take a good look at his ass. He ant shit in my book he would not put his hands on a white woman or mexican. He probably kicken beyonce’s ass too. Irreplaceable remember that so dont give his ass too much credit.
@ #99
i’ma need a link to this story…
I thought I was the only one who felt that way about Nick Cannon.lol
I Love Jay. He can do no wrong. I wil marry him one day or maybe for a one day .lol.
I seriously am considering a tattoo of his initials in a special place.
A party for a can of soda??? These people have too much free time
Yo Yo Yo – BRING THE NOISE!!!!!!
My name is Rhyming Robert and i’m here to say
that i think the new cherry coke can is
F-F-F-F-FFFRESH! and wickedy wickedy wack!
If Kris Kross were about today, it’d definitely make them “jump jump!” – especially with all those E numbers and sugar.
Word to the brother-fudder.
(i just wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair then i could drink coke from pink cans)
I miss Deborah Cox..She needs to come back out..
LMAO @ #23 saying Jay is the best rapper alive. What you smoking on boo? SMH @ the fact that you are actually from the South. SAD!
@ 100 please send me your e-mail address and I will make sure to send it to you so hallah back.
@105 You are damn right 2Pac is the best rapper ever to live and die.There is knowone that even comes close to him a legend indeed I wish he was still here most of these rappers couldnt get a minute on the MIC aganinst Pac he is tne shit 4 life.
All you bitches and hos need to stop complaning and hating on my dude Jay-Z. He makes more money than any of you ever will in your entire life. You think he cares what you think? LOL, lets be serious. You all still live in the projects and work at McDonalds.
