For a couple of hours

It reminds me of the opening titles of James Bond movies.

This IS NOT the version used in the commercial. The version used in the commercial IS NOT in a rap format.

anonymous, Have you listened to the whole song? It's the first 30 seconds of the song before the rapping starts. Although it does sound like they edited out some of the initial Jill Scott vocals during the flourish, but otherwise it's the Lupe Fiasco version.

thanks! April 26, 2008 19:17

When i saw this, i thought it was the wallace collection version until i heard the lupe fiasco one.. i have to say i like the lupe one better simply b/c it has the samples of the original version in it..

m*One,
Not quite. Read the explanation in the Music section above about how I Monster's version is used in the Lupe Fiasco version.

Daniel May 11, 2008 03:07

I love both versions! Great spot to watch. I love it when visuals and music create such a great ad!
