Jay-Z vs. Cristal

For years, the luxurious champagne Cristal has been the choice beverage of rappers, Jay-Z included. But after Cristal executive Frederic Rouzard publicly distanced his product from the rap world, Jay-Z boycotted the drink for what he perceived to be racist comments. So instead of lyrically trouncing Cristal as he would a fellow rapper, Jay-Z decided to flip the switch on the famed brand and remove its name from any and all future performances. His seminal debut,Reasonable Doubt, features four songs that mention Cristal, but our guess is Jay-Z's not too worried; nothing really rhymes with Cristal anyway.
