You trying to give me some Eight Ball/ But no way
I’d rather have a Mimosa / With Cristal and O.J.
- DJ Quik (on Tony Toni Tone’s “Let’s Get Down”)
Cristal seems to have a lion’s share of the references in hip hop, although Jay Z is taking on his new love of the moment, Ace of Spades (Armand De Brignac).
Thanks for doing this, it’s certainly on my mind as I listen to hip hop tracks and key in on wine references.
