Re: Rappers to boycott Cristal champagne
 

It makes sense, Cristal's target market don't want to be associated with the bling / gangsta lifestyle.

M. Rouzeaud makes sense, and if I am ever in the market for expensive champagne (unlikely, but hey), I'm now going to buy Cristal because Jay Z is just wrongly playing the racist card.

Believe it or not, sometimes people dislike you just for being a dick, not because of the colour of your skin.

PP,

If not racist, they are definitely elitist. I suspect a little of both.

Their target audience isn't watching rap videos anyway. And if they are, they are buying cristal because thats what they see in the videos.

Re: Rappers to boycott Cristal champagne
 

Rappers are only interested in Cristal for its bling factor, not because it is a great champagne. If a champagne called "Dogchit" was the most expensive, they'd be rhyming it with "fog hit",(people have equated drinking Cristal with "drinking fog).

This is an opening salvo. Expect to see Jay-Z marketing his own brand of high-end sparkling wine a la Armandale vodka.

Jay Z was anti semitic in one of his songs I seem to remember.

The point is - who cares about racism. It's everyones right to be racist if they want.

While that's true, it's also everyone's right to boycott, and urge others to do so.

"Flow tight like i was born Jewish"? Is that the lyric you're referring to?
