    Three things learned here:
    1. Schlitz was the original St. Ides
    2. They admit that their product isn't beer
    3. Rufus Thomas was to be kept miles away from alcohol at all times

      "Malt liquor" is more a marketing term than anything. Many areas in the US had ABV limits on beer of around 3.5 - 5% alcohol by volume, so to get around that, brewers created a new segment called "malt beer," which fell into the ATF classification of stouts, porters, and mead and was capped at 6% ABV. After malt beer started getting popular, the ATF created a new classification of "malt beverage." Malt beverages had at least 6% ABV or more, but it couldn't be called "beer" any longer, so the brewers began calling it malt liquor.

Demonic coherts masquerading as psychological social misfits by contributing to the destruction of black culture. Confusion and Choices by plantation SLAVES in AMERIKKKA seeking glamour and Devalued Dead Presidents. Look at the harm today still in our respective communities. Sporting events, family reunions, backyard barbecues, and weekend parties.

As I grew up I preferred this over any other brews for the potency and stout taste. But no matter what if you drank to many you would wake up literally feeling like a bull stomped your ass in the ground.

      B Walls they only did it for the radio ads. Unfortunately not for the television. Also, Lakeside went the other direction by doing a radio ad for Michelob. They was not the only ones. Chilights did a radio ad for Michelob in the 80s as well. Howard Hewitt and Denise Williams did the Miller ads for the radio for welcome to Miller time as a duet. Rick James did a commercial ad for Budweiser and so did the Dazz Band. How do I know you ask? I grew up listening to half of those commercial ads growing up in the 1980s being born in 78.

      being that Gangster Rap started in 1988 with NWA,
      & CRIME, MURDER, GUN VIOLENCE, DRUG DEALING, PIMPS , HOES, GANG VIOLENCE, BLACK ON BLACK CRIME & DISRESPECTING WOMEN has all been going on literally in the BLACK URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS since the 1950's, 60's, 70's & early 80's before GANGSTER RAP even existed .

      I'll say the same thing as I said about Heavy Metal....if a recording artist is a bigger influence on a yoot than the parents, school personnel, church and other community leaders, don't hate the player, hate the game. In every generation, among every race, contemporary recording artists have ALWAYS had the youth's ear.
      Both Metal and Hip Hop artists told the P.M.R.C. where to stick their censorship agenda. Look at Snoop-he coaches Pop Warner Youth Football and he smoke so much herb, the ZigZag Man has a tattoo of HIM.

    In the streets, WE called it "Bully Whup" because it would literally whip your ass if you over indulged! One of the strongest beer on the market at that time, other than Old English 800("Old Gold" @ $.99 for 32oz.),with the "added extra amount of liquor/alcohol and at a cheap price, but "The Bull" was suppose to be a more "high-class beer." Then THEY came out with the "Master Cylinder" 24oz. of high alcohol liquor content(@ $.99 cents a can). Let's not forget about "The 40 Dog." 40oz. of liquor courage(@ $2.00 a bottle).
    Now add this high alcohol/liquor/alcohol with a few "joints" and you would be high for a good minute if you don't pass out. By the early 90's the alcohol content got much higher with newer brand beers like St. Ides, Ice House, Crazy Horse, etc. Poison to our Souls. SMH.

The big black bull and the running of the big bulls goes back to when the black moors conquered Spain and Europe... and the bullfighting with the tiny white man matador is when Spain and the Europeans fought back against the Moors and pushed them out of Europe... its an artful telling of the battle between white supremacy & black supremacy
