Think again, sucka! As A.V. Club <a href="http://www.avclub.com/article/word-your-nuggets-30-years-mcdonalds-wackest-hip-h-221183?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=important-franchise-reminder-dont-try-to-make-your-brand-cool-by-rapping-1911" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recently pointed out</a>, the burger giant has tried to be down with the youngins in the past by applying some serious &#8216;tude to its corporate image.

If, for some deranged reason, you want more, visit <a href="http://mcdonalds.hiphop/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=important-franchise-reminder-dont-try-to-make-your-brand-cool-by-rapping-1911" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mcdonalds.hiphop</a>, a clearinghouse for the facepalmiest &#8220;urban&#8221; ads McDonald&#8217;s has to offer. And franchise brands, let this be a lesson: Please, please, please don&#8217;t start rapping to get teens to buy your burgers.
