Charger a big hit with hip-hop crowd

[ekool]

The 300C was the darling of the hip-hop world last year. But such fashion tends to have a shelf life of months, if that, and it’s good for Chrysler that the Dodge Charger seems to have taken its place. While virtually nothing will top the surrealism of Snoop Dogg’s voicemail to Dieter Zetsche, 50 Cent did put in a request for the first Charger off the line (a request that was granted). Expect to see the car in several videos over the next few months, and the Ying Yang Twins will place it in a TV ad for their new album. Chrysler says that they “aren’t going to try to stop this from happening”, but it’s not clear if this is a marketing move or just a smart self-defense strategy.

The first charger was not given to 50 cent , the first Charger was sold on eBay by DC for around 75 0000 . The winner was from Canada

True, and its worth mentioning that the proceeds went to a charity, IIRC.

It is huge in the hip hop community.

Even PaRappa the Rapper contacted playstation about buying the Midnight Club Dub edition 300C.
