The Pack, formerly known as the Wolfpack, is a rap group from [[Berkeley, California]]. The group consists of Lil Uno, Lil B, Young L, and Young $tunna. The Pack was discovered by the veteran rapper [[Too $hort]] in 2005 while listening to one of their songs in a car as he was being driven to a show. He quickly went on a Bay wide hunt to find the group and sign them to his Up All Nite/ Zomba/ Jive record label.

The Pack's hit song "Vans" is number 23 on the top 30 hip hop charts, played on 65 hip hop stations nationwide and on 35 pop stations nationwide. The song featured a chorus of "Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers; Wearing coke white but my Vans are cleaner." which many thought was synthesized, but was in fact the unedited voice of a real high school student. Their video "Vans" has been aired on BET but MTV refused to show the video for advertisement reasons. However, [[MTV]] airs an edited version of the video, in which the word "Vans" is censored in throughout the song. MTV's decision created controversy, with many accusing the network of a double standard.[http://www.eastbayexpress.com/Issues/2006-09-06/music/close2thaedge.html]<blockquote>

Several commentators on [Clyde] Smith's site[http://www.prohiphop.com/] pointed to other rap songs with overtly commercial messages bordering on product placement, such as Run-DMC's "My Adidas," Nelly's "[[Air Force Ones]]," and Busta Rhymes, P. Diddy, and Pharrell's "Pass the Courvoisier." Many questioned MTV's censorship policy, noting that "[[My Adidas]]" and "Pass the Courvoisier" aired on the channel, while BET aired "[[Air Force Ones]]."
