Rappers that sip Cristal

[Spanky11]

Just watched an hour of music videos...and I have a question: Why is it that every 2 bit, no talent rapper always feels the urge to hoist a bottle of cristal in the air in a club scene?????

It really does get tiresome after a while. Why is that they must always do this? Especially with the same brand each and every time....In fact my friend's and I started started a "Spot the Cristal competition".....It's not even a great champagne to start with.

any replies much appreciated.

Rapper's are bought and sold like slaves between record company owners. I was listening to Stern this morning and he had 50cent on. When asked how he spent his 65k signing bonus he got with his new record company he replied. 50k went to Jam master Jay (OWNER) 10k went to the lawyer (Trader) and the 5k left over he bought crack to sell. If you look at it the artists(Slaves) bust their asses out in the music world while the Record companies (Owners) reap the profits off their sweat. Maybe the hoisting crystal shit is their way of giving the finger to the man!

The are fucking homos. plain and simple. Crystal. Courvos howerverthe fuck you spell it. Whatever is "poppin" at the moment, everyone has to have. They are the epitomy of band wagon.

$200-265 a bottle (cheap pricing) for "a bunch of fucking grapes".

Louis Roederer Cristal is considered one of the better/best champagnes out there.

Lord knows how some of those rappers found out about it, but there are rhymes going back to 95-96 talking about it. Hell, maybe even earlier, if someone else can find a pre-96 Cristal rap reference, let me know.

That was quite funny, and sadly quite true...Each and every rapper held up this bottle to salute his "homies in da club"....I do wonder if it was, in fact, the same bottle reused by different rappers for the purpose of the clip????

hmmmm, something to wonder about.

Most other artist doesnt flash money and diamonds and stuff around in their videos either. But rappers have a tendancy to do so, why is that?

Ouch! My tongue hurts from Biting it!

 

[rickcorso]

its because most rappers are straight out of the hood. They finally acheive what they had been dreaming about in the ghetto and they feel the need to shove it in the faces of all their old "homies" who said they would never amount to anything.

 

[Spanky11]

they achieve this by simply holding a bottle of champagne up in the air?

Sung gospel style:

Don't drink that wine, coke would be better it's easy to find
If that won't do, smoke a joint or two
But don't drink that wine...nooooo that wine.

--- from "Don't drink that Wine" by NWA circa 1992

I don't know if that counts as a crystal refrence, but it's the frist time I heard hommies talkin' about drinkin'....(as opposed to smoking crack, etc. )

The first time i ever heard of cristal was from quinten tarrentino in the movie four rooms.

This leads me to believe the quinten is an unsung hero for the people of the hood, they really look up to him.

What happened to a good ol $1 bottle of Old English? hehe

Because since most of them come from nothing, they feel the need to overcompensate and sing about and flash materialistic items (bling) to show that they've made it.

I will just say that this issue brings serious laughter. In the public eye, serving/drinking this particular beverage is supposed to bring upon a certain label to the individual/s endorsing it. Most of these ladies and gentleman walk and act as if morality and ethics are a distant code. I will leave on that note.

hehe You said poppin.

 

[JohnyJuice]

hehe You said poppin.

I sure did. Guess i better go get my bottle a cris out da fridge now.

Ya gotta remember, these are the same assholes that get 20 karats of diamonds in their platinum covered teeth. Nothing surprises me anymore, it just makes me laugh.

the getto types love things that are expensive just because they are expensive. The average rapper couldn't tell the difference between Cristal and Mumms. By the way. In the videos it is almost always cheap champagne in a Cristal bottle.

 

[sigweed]

the whole cristal thing is fading
now its all about dom perignon

Now they are getting somewhere...altho I highly doubt they could notice the difference.

BTW played "Spot tha Cristal" game last night and we spotted 18 bottles in a 60 minute period. Quite sad really...

that is all.

 

[Necrophagia]

I bet it's the same bottle, same jewelry, same flashy shit used for every video. Then once they get done the prostitutes with giant asses finally leave and they smoke crack while fudgepacking each other. Fucking rappers.

 

[beefybull]

the getto types...

By the way. In the videos it is almost always cheap champagne in a Cristal bottle.

NGA PLZ. Just exactly how many video shoots have you been to? Video budgets are typically $100k-800k... they can afford real champagne, homey.

Another "NGA PLZ Award" also goes to Necrophagia's post.
