In the latest Denzel Washington / Russell Crowe film "American Gangster" , Jay-Z’s video for the soundtrack "Blue Magic" has some controversy attached to it. The Hip Hop rapper did something very different in his latest video . Instead of flashing the usual $100 dollar bills, he flashed Euros. It was for just a second, but you can clearly see it at 1:19 in the video below.
As of this posting the USD vs EUR is 1.00 USD = 0.682660 EUR . The Euro is pretty powerful right now, but I doubt this will be a trend in rap videos. This just shows Jay-Z is a lot smarter than most…I can see it now, all these Hip Hop fans keeping Euros in their pockets to look cool…
