Nas' Champagne Idea.... Rapper Nas is asking his hip-hop pals to create their own brand of champagne, after Cristal managing director Frederic Rouzaud made negative comments about the genre's association with the sparkling wine.In June (06), Rouzaud infuriated the rap community when he complained about their penchant for Cristal, saying, "What can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."Jay-Z responded by banning the drink from his US nightclub chain and removed Cristal from his rap lyrics, to mention Krug or Dom Perignon instead.Nas believes the hip-hop boycott of the drink will only be effective if the industry launches their own rival drink.He tells AllHipHop.com, "I support a boycott if we could come up - like if we put up something, our own champagne. There's tons of vineyards we could get into and buy."There's tons of ways to get inside of that, so that we can have Diddy/Nas champagne and put them out, and drink our own thing."The bottom line is all these dudes is jealous of black men. Look, we look incredible. So stop making fly s**t, if you don't want us to buy it, hell, how in the f**k we gonna not drink the most (expensive) s**t.Sean 'Diddy' Combs adds, "Cristal definitely caught us out there. It was a learning lesson. At the end of the day, f**k Cristal. They don't respect us.

They'll feel it."
