For a real example:

    Me not working hard?
    Yeah, right! Picture that with a Kodak
    Or, better yet, go to Times Square
    Take a picture of me with a Kodak
From Pitbull "Give me Everything"

That rhyme was unforgivable even without the possible endorsement.

See other possible endorsements here: http://genius.com/rapstats?q=Michael%20Kors%2C%20Gucci%2C%20...

Not sure where to draw the line for Gucci though since a rapper is called Gucci Mane and it means something else to say "I'm Gucci"

Has to be an ad, why wouldn't you go with something like this artistically?

    Me not working hard?
    Yeah, right! Picture that with a Kodak
    Or, better yet, go to Times Square
    Take a picture of me with some Cognac

Because if you're Pitbull your entire existence on the planet is diametrically opposed to the creation of anything with genuine artistic merit?
