Dear Labatts:


     I wrote you about a year ago and never heard back. Please write me back this time. What follows is the letter I previously sent.



     I absolutely love your Labatt Genuine Draft Beer. I am part of a Hip Hop / Rap group and we have a song about your beer. What follows is the lyrics to the song, please let me know if you dig em like we do. We are heading off to a rap battle in a few months, and one of the groups we are facing has a rap about Alexander Keiths, a beer they love. Alexander Keiths sent them Pint Glasses and hats when they wrote them a letter, and that is what spawned us to write you a letter. We would hate to see them have the edge over us… So if you want us to represent y'all by wearing something for yah, then feel free to send us something (But We Ain't Asking !!). Peace and love, here is the rap:



  Going to bat for Labatt’s by Rhymes of the Heart

  
Yo, Check it, Here it comes…
There’s only one beer for me,
Me and mah peeps call it LGD
And all the Crockers, including Betty,
Couldn’t dis how it’s superbly recipe’ed.
It’s a beer for the thinkers,
The drinkers, nonchalant winkers,
And the brew of choice for the battleship sinkers
Gots da madly smooth flow
Flavor in tow, and will get the party started if you’s havin troub-o
So Just pop the lid, in any-o crib An’
you’ll be pressin da ladies with your ill ad lib,
Cause it loosens the lips, takes you on trips,
And just ask Atkins how sumpin so phat avoids your hips
(break it down now)
I’d go to bat, for mah peeps at Labatt
Dis’em and I’ll knock ya outta the park in five seconds flat
So show em some love, hand’em some props,
Next time you be going and pealin off the tops.
Know they’re my brand, for whom I’d stand,
Behind and back up, on all that we’ve planned
It’s a Canadian tradition, a lack of inhibition,
It’s a solemn oath I’ve sworn of constant admission
That for me there’s no other, who I’d rutha have smother
Me with all the love that one can give to one another
(ahhhhh yeah, that’s the real stuff baby)
I gots to be going, Labatt’s beer are flowing
And I there’s some wild oats that need sewin
So let me leave you with this,
And don’t easily dimiss
This as a beer advertisement that ongoingly persists
Into the abyss, with a list of things that will get you to easily enlist
But I have to say, and it’s quite true
I’d hang with this beer in the motliest of crews
So give it a chance,
Loosen up ya pants,
And fall in love at first glance.
Like we did…
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDD !!!
