Back in the day, when I needed to get my 40 oz on, Olde English was the way to go. St. Ides always had better commercials though, which was often just enough to convince me to spend my $1.89 on their Malt Liquor instead.
SlimyLime is hosting mp3s of all the old ads.
My favorite line from the ad campaign comes from Ice Cube's
Jackin' Fo' Malt Liquor:
You feel dumb 'cause you didn't know
Ice Cube don't drink that other beer no mo'
Drink some and you won't change back
You'll say: I ain't never drunk a beer like that
