Apparently, music video or song isnât a complete project to many artistes without referencing a particular luxury car brand. It is a niche among musicians to feature or talk about beautiful and exotic rides in their songs. This is definitely not a culture that started few years ago. It has been in vogue for many years now. The truth is: it wonât stop till the end of world. Some influential musicians are even featuring futuristic models in their music videos. If you doubt this, you should take a look at Canadian rapper Drakeâs new music video âLaugh Now Cry Laterâ, where he featured two Mercedes-Maybach concept cars.
We couldnât but wonder like you right now as to what gives these brands so much appeal in many songs? Interestingly, more than half of these mentions are traced to rap artistes. Does that mean automotive brands give more power to their vocal? Over the years, one of the most powerful symbols of power and status is the type of car you drive. It gives us an insight into how successful a music artiste is through the type of cars in his collections. Such luxury lifestyle might not be complete without giving us a taste of it in some of their songs. Anyway, letâs get down to business.
