It's like when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.

It's cool but also sucks.

Like when Plastina Mosh's "Supercombo Electronico" got used in like a Verizon commercial.

Haha, how about when Run The Jewels got picked up for use in Cadillac commercials? Their lyrics are hilarious and subversive, so it's weird as hell to see it in a bougie car commercial. Killer Mike and El-P have to get paid I guess but it was kind of surreal seeing them become big because I'd been a fan of both independently over 20 years ago. Been listening to El-P's stuff since the first Cannibal Ox album with KM not too long after that.
