Kollegah alone honors Mercedes with 33 mentions in his tracks.
Rap often focuses on the material things in life. Keyword status symbols. Cars in particular are at the top of the list. These can usually not only be seen in music videos, but are also sufficiently mentioned along with the brand in the song lyrics. In a new study by Spielbank.com.de It has now been shown which car brands are actually most often the focus of rap lyrics. Here we go.
Kollegah often mentions Mercedes and Ferrari
Mercedes has made itself comfortable in first place when it comes to being mentioned in rap songs. The brand has a total of 16,415 mentions in the genre. And the word “Kollegah” was used particularly frequently – 33 times. Here’s an example of one of his texts: “Your crew members live in pedestrian zones and subway stations / Unmentionable punks who collect Mercedes stars / I do it too, only I have Mercedess attached to them” (excerpt from “Schwarzgeld”) .
Also doing well: Lamborghini, Bentley, Ferrari and Porsche
Lamborghini is in second place with a total of 9,546 mentions. The rapper Noah alone uses the brand 18 times in his tracks.
Bentley follows in third place with 8,474 mentions – their biggest fans seem to be the Migos rappers, who have 16 references in their songs. But Lil Wayne also mentioned the car brand eleven times in his tracks. Nicki Minaj managed to name-drop in four songs.
Fourth place goes to Ferrari (7212 mentions in total, 17 of them from Kollegah alone) and fifth place is rounded off with Porsche (6874 mentions).
