Sprite is known for its commercials celebrating Hip Hop culture. Their Voltron series, uniting East coast and West coast emcees goes down in my books as some of the flyest advertising of all times. Now Sprite is back with a new commercial series, "Five Deadly Women." This time around the female emcee gets the chance to represent.

THE PLAYERS: The Blonde Bee (Eve from the Ruff Ryder label), The Fire Fly (Angie Martinez from the Terror Squad), The Lady Bug (Mia X of No Limit Records), The Prayin' Mantis (Amil of Rock-a-Fella Records), and The Black Widow (Roxanne Shante, now a psychologist)
