We all love Jay and Ye, but you have to admit, sometimes you have no idea what the hell they're talking about when they plug a bunch of the luxury items they own. Some of us even Google things we hear them talk about in their music just to know what it is. Jay Z and Kanye's album "Watch the Throne" is what both rappers call a "Luxury Rap" album where plugs of luxury labels are endless. We have to wonder sometimes if these luxury good makers financed the project and "Watch The Throne" is in fact one long multi brand commercial. Anyway, to help you understand the luxury lingo being tossed around all over the CD, LA Weekly pulled together a kind of luxury goods dictionary to help you and us, understand what Kanye and Jay are talking about.
