I really like Jay-Z

I really like Jay-Z irrespective of whether he shows out dollars or euros. But it’s an indigestible reality that the economy is slowing down. Hope history of 2000-2001 does repeat itself once again!!!

Jay-Z apparently kicked the door in, regarding acceptance of Euros.

The New York Villager recently carried a short story about a businessman who accepts Euros at his liquor store.

The New York Times also carried a story about Euros, noting that businesses are catering to European tourists, given the devalued dollar.

Jay-Z stamped my

Jay-Z stamped my bill?

You be the judge.

Mollie, I'm so disappointed

Mollie, I'm so disappointed you would question of all people, Jay-Z's financial status. CEO of Def Jam, just sold Rockafella Clothing for Millions (still chairman), Ace of Spades (champaign- also seen in the video $800 bottle) Founder, 40/40 club (where the video was shot- owner).... need I say more. Oh yea, forgot to mention the chump change he makes from album sales where he pockets $0.85 of every dollar. Yea, I think that qualifies him for being a legitimate baller.

This is an interesting observation, but I get the feeling that the Euro isn't so much a status symbol because of the exchange rate so much as it's an implication of travel, and involvement in international business affairs that requires large stacks of cash in different currencies.

How appropriate considering my Global Unification & Integration Project called "The EU-US Merger Project".

Benjamins for Bundchen?

Gisele Bundchen - the highest-paid Supermodel on the planet - is insisting that her promo contract for Pantene be paid in Euros, not dollars.

Get the story here.

Gisele says: No greenbacks!

As long as Jay-Z and his posse avoid breaking out in some kind of Micheal Flatley "Riverdance" moves in their next video, I think we'll be OK.

Those feet-flyin' no hand-movin' kinda dances scare the heck outta me. The 'euros' can keep 'em.

If Jay-Z is able to bring back pill-box hats, ala Jackie Kennedy, I'll be even more impressed as to his pop culture/fashion influence.

I still like Jay-Z, even if he flashes Euros instead of "dead presidents."

Jay-Z is just helping to promote global thinking and culture (much like Jackie Kennedy brough chic French clothing design to America.)

If Jay-Z was a real baller,

If Jay-Z was a real baller, he'd be flashing pounds instead of Euros. At 2 pounds to 1 dollar, that's where the $$$s at.

There is something quite alarming on the recently released “Blue Magic” music video.
