Help Me Identify This Hip-Hop Album

[Sadat X]

The whole album is like a commercial for this beverage, which I forget the name of. Funky Cold Medina keeps coming to mind, but that's obviously not it. It sounds old - I'm thinking early 90's-ish(?) Anyway, a bunch of rappers come on and extol the virtues of this mystery beverage on every track. Any ideas?

This article is about the malt liquor. For the Catholic saint see Saint Ita.

St. Ides is a potent brand of malt liquor that is manufactured by the Pabst Brewing Company. The beverage contains 8.0-8.2% alcohol by volume, which puts it at the high end even for the high-alcohol malt liquor category of American lager beers. In addition to the plain St. Ides, the beer is also available in a number of "St. Ides Special Brews" that add a variety of flavorings, including mint and various fruit flavors, to the beer.

St. Ides malt liquor is celebrated in American popular culture; it has been mentioned in the songs St. Ides - Shaolin brew by the Wu-Tang Clan, I Got 5 On It by The Luniz, The King of Time by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Buzz Kill by Sage Francis, St. Ides Heaven by Elliott Smith and "King Tee's Beer Stand" by King Tee and Ice Cube, and Bless da 40oz by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, "Church of St. Ides" by the Whiskey Rebels. St. Ides is rumored to compensate rappers who mention them in their songs (Ice Cube, Steady Mobbin: “Don’t drink 8 Ball, cause St. Ides is givin' ‘ends”).

Ice Cube was one rapper that was almost certainly compensated by St. Ides; he had an endorsement deal with the company and even wrote and performed a rhyme for a St. Ides commercial. Other rappers who performed original songs for St. Ides commercials include 2pac, Snoop Doggy Dogg, King Tee and the Wu-Tang Clan.
