How did Jay-Z pull off the Cristal boycott if he doesn't set trends?

I don't really know about taste of champagne, I just used to buy it when I was feeling myself like when celebrating someones birthday etc. However,
I don't know how it can be "garbage" if the top critics in the world rank it among the highest. You most likely wouldn't be saying it if a black rapper wasn't involved with it.

two times I've had it i don't like it. the critics not going to make like something.
and i bought that shyt because my favorite rapper was involved with it



i only got the taste for champagne after being around rich ladies and a doing trick Bill Murray talks about
get a big glass fill it with ice and pour your champagne in there..gives you a nice feeling and the bubbles don't hit you like that either.

But he couldnt kill off auto-tune tho...

Veterans in Diddy and Weezy kept it alive, lol. And as we know youngins ran with and tweaked weezy style. If weezy and Diddy stopped like Kanye...it would have died.

Good question. He’s largely responsible for putting it into public lexicon, so taking it out wouldn’t of been above his pay grade

 

[Da King]

Same way he killed T-Pain's career

 

[Dontay Flaco]

Who say he dont set trends?

nikkas dont remember button ups?

EVERYBODY had one them shyts.
Thought I was fresh in the 3 grade with my button ups and G-Unit boots.

I thought Weezy moreso than Diddy and I think with the DOA song and Weezy still using it, the younger artists used it out of spite cuz they still dug that harmonizing pitch shift effect, in comes Future, the rest is history..

only reason jay boycotted cristal is because big pun went upside his head with a bottle of it

 

[Hood Critic]

Yeah because y’all was drinking Cristal, right?

Exactly, real easy to boycott something you couldn't afford in the first place.

Most champagne in the club drinkers are drinking Moet. Those who can afford something more expensive are drinking Dom the vast majority of the time. All Jay did was put the Ace marketing budget in his pocket and told y'all you shouldn't drink Cris anymore.
