Rapper's Delight: Louis XIII Black Pearl Magnum

We all know the role hip hop plays in marketing luxury goods to those of us that can't afford to indulge. At least it gives us something to aspire to.

I remember the first time I heard about Louis XIII. DMX was on the radio talking about buying a glass for around $1500 at the Four Seasons (don't quote me this was a few years ago). Must be nice!!!!

So I guess we can expect to see some lyrical references of this latest edition. I just wish these artists would wise up and work out an endorsement deal or two instead of writing free jingles that costs them millions of dollars that could be in their pockets.

Here's the deal on the Black Pearl Magnum in case you're looking to purchase, lol!

"The House of Remy Martin is offering 300 connoisseurs the chance to purchase a limited-edition of Louis XIII―dubbed the Black Pearl Magnum ―a rare Grande Champagne cognac aged in a specially crafted singular oak barrel. The cognac is presented in a handcrafted Baccarat black crystal decanter as a tribute to the signature Louis XIII decanter, which was originally modeled on a metal flask found in the Cognac region of France in 1569. For those craving just a taste, the Plaza in New York City and the St. Regis in Washington, D.C., have purchased the first two bottles and will begin selling them by the glass later this month. A bottle of Louis XIII de Rémy Martin Grande Champagne cognac will sell for $32,000, with the Baccarat decanter. The St. Regis will offer glasses for $1,926―the cost pays homage to the year the St. Regis opened in
