I don't know which came first rap stars buying Cadilacs or them rapping about them, but now Caddys are cool.
There's a whole industry of marketing people providing high end products for free to rappers with the hope that they'll mention them in a song or use them in a song. But in Lorde's song "Royals" she's going against that trend.
"But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair."
So why are these songs hitting #1 now and not five years ago?

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
