Rockin' Rappin' Barbie

Barbie has been one of the most famous brands aimed at female youths since the sixties. With the various dolls, styles, trends, and accesories, Barbie has been re-invented in this commercial from 1992 as a rapper. During the early ninties, rap itself reached its highest level of popularity, with Barbie taking full advantage of this modenity. Children are convinced that this doll is "happening, hot, and cool". Therefore, by owning this doll, they too will become "happening, hot, and cool". This commercial features beat-boxing, hip-hop dances, vibrant colors, and the rap styles of young girls that own this doll.

The Rappin' Rockin' Barbie marketers want children to believe this product will make them cool by teaching them to rap, dance, and dress in during the trends rap has set in motion. Also that girls should look, dress, and act like Barbie. This commercial also advertises boom-boxes, Barbie gang, and energizer batteries. This advertisment pushes children to try to blend in with what others believe is cool, jump on the bandwagon. It doesnt explain that buying a barbie is not going to make friends for you. Not to mention, Barbie cannot rap. The doll never says a word in the commercial nor dances, though the girls explain Barbie can rap and dance to her "happening" beat created by her boom-box.
