34: Big Momma Drama

McDonald's Marketing, R&B and Snap Music

McDonald's has a long history of tailoring its commercials to specific Black sub-genres, from 90s R&B to "snap music" and modern trap. Advertising executives use these cultural markers to create a sense of familiarity and acceptance for the brand. The segment critiques the role of the "diverse voice" in the room, whose job is often to ensure the marketing doesn't cross the line into being overtly offensive while still exploiting cultural trends.
