Speedy the type of nigga to use the same cups for everybody in the office
Randy Nachoman Savage 😂
This is for you W.
W
Next one should be,
Natasha's head game vs Emily's head game. Dont believe the hype.
Can a church get an Amen
Super Savage lmao
Head game Emily probably winning, now sex game then natasha
Lmfao
***** Maggie looks like she is good at both
In the end, he sold half of AofS to the biggest lux brand in the universe lol. Marketing is king
Facts!
Who cares
In the end, the marketing was targeting his own people. Influencing them to buy an ridiculously expensive champagne. Now half of that money will go to the “man” lol
@@timothyroman1129 Well they were buying a racists brand before, so this is progress!!!
Another example for black people to build their own brands!!!
Moet got scammed....
Reupload? Speedy haircut still wack AF
I used to intern for the company that makes Ace of Spades -- they were operating as Sovereign Brands in 2007/2008. It's a 12 dollar bottle of wine in an 18 dollar bottle. The most expensive part of of the whole package is the box it comes in. They used a champagne house with papers that bought it's grapes from other vineyards and always used non-vintage grape blends. Very low quality product with excellent marketing. I spent 85% of my time calling nightclubs and promoters trying to get them to distribute this for free before Jay-Z picked them up. Look up their failed products before dropping $300 plus on this garbage.
They have a farm and grow their own natural resources now . Jay z improved the company for the better
Drinks champs pushing the product 🥂
How would an intern know how much it costs them 🤣 Always a hater
@@GODOFLIQUOR why would that be hard to believe? They may not get paid but they are employed by the company lol
@@julez140cama intern wouldn't know this stuff that's like asking a employee at Walmart how much the meat cost from their supplier
I was distracted by that haircut the entire time
why does speedy look like he got a toupee on lol
Super Savage nigga using sharpee to shape his hairline😂💀
Super Savage Daddy Yankee lookin ass
aka steve harvey's mustache
That's the standard cut for Puerto Ricans Lmao
+Steve Harvey 💀
Someone got turned down by Jay-Z to do an interview, huh?
TheRoyalHam complex petty like that.....they all kids over there
TheRoyalHam but its fr, ace of spade aint nothing special... i like dom perignon or cliquot better, a but cheaper also.
Jacob Bonilla cliquot, probably the best looks clean and taste good whenever.
TheRoyalHam this was a straight hater video. out of all the champains out there why ace of spade. why not crystal or don p there are way more expensive champaine then ace of spades.
they could've use Rosé
Jay is a hustler from Brooklyn, everything he do is finese
True
It's "everything he does" not "everything he do." This is English at its most basic, dumb 5-year-olds should know this.
@@martinmichael2535 no one cares
Everyone knows you always pay for the brand name. The difference in quality is always small. That goes for most things.
Anybody that works in liquor knows the stuff in the $30-100 range is better than anything this pricey. It’s honestly sad.
Facts
ace is piss in a fancy bottle (it's also made from the cheapest type of grapes in the region), i have to admit that the marketing behind it is on point
Ur paying 290 for the bottle the other 10 bucks is the stuff in it lol 😂
After a few drinks you won’t be able to tell if it’s piss or champagne 🥂 trust me lmaooo
😂😂😂
Bunch of nerds at complex how are they giving us hip hop news
Ray Ryan Where the black people ctfuuu
Ray Ryan I was thinking the same shit, culture vulture white nerds showing a multicultural image on camera and behind white privileged hipsters running the show and getting the real paper.
MANGO ZOO thats wild fr fr hopefully worldstar aint the samr
King Naka its starting to be the same
Ray Ryan because the nerds are being hustled by the old timers
I purchased a bottle of this Ace of Spade and it tasted just Like Moet White star!! I was highly upset that I paid over $300 for it!!
Actually moet had greater density
Why would you expect any different
I think i got a good idea: Cheap jeans (20-60 bucks) vs Raw Denim (100-200+)
theramman528 Levi's are amazing and they usually cost like 60$
*Drinks Ace of Spades out of plastic glasses* 💀
Well it is a non vintage Champagne.......
🤮
1:42 as soon as I saw her I new she was the one for me. Then I saw her drink and it all made sense.
Complex hating on the mogul Jay-Z! To bad he already rich and y'all helping him market his champagne.😂😂
soulja boy lyrics vs tupac lyric: dont believe the hype
Yo that’s how this vid has me
Comes to show that money doesn’t buy the taste of delicious champagne. Something doesn’t have to be super expensive for it to be tasty.
However in some cases price does resemble quality
Kendrick Lamar lyrics>J cole lyrics don't believe the hype. or you can do biggie and Uzi 😂
Nigel .C Llyod banks lyrics >Every rapper alive
It's not champagne unless it's made in France in champagne. That's sparkling or bubbly
It is backed and produced by a french champagne producer
@@StukAmetal 😂😂😂😂😂
@@StukAmetal Doesn't matter
@@DONTCALLMETHAT it really is. And sold half of its stakes
Skippy is a good host. He should do this kinda shit more often. You go Scooter!
Do your research on ace of spades. It was originally a 15 dollar bottle of champagne that jay brought and repackaged and sold for 200. It's still only a 15 dollar champagne.
Those who can do, those who cannot do not.. it's like Rolex vs Tudor. Status is what some people thrive on..
What a sad way to live
Speedy haircut still wack even wit the re upload
This could be in the player haters ball 😂
definitely liked the different style of video...props, keep them coming
Can y'all do fake beats vs real beats headphones
Joy Broz beats have the same specs cheap headphone do, just expensive because the brand( they actually spend most of they money on promotion and advertisement and that include sending and paying known people to wear them
Joy Broz We all know itll be an even split basically
Henrique Lobo lol i love when niggas sound like a damn idiots,do your research on the specs,they wack,thats why one side always breaks, no need to lie, and truth can sometimes come off as hating 😎get out the consumer mindset
Henrique Lobo a and on top off that, dre banked, sold it,then it bought it back (shares) its idiots like you thats why apple paid all that money cuz its called consumers will buy anything and we can expand out of headphones with the pill box esc, lol #getlife consumer ass nigga you what in line for jordans that soposly never coming back out lol..
Joy Broz beats shit anyways lmao.
Speedy with his Ronald Trump hair.
Producer had a bottle of Amsterdam at his desk lmao
Moonrocks VS. Reggie Weed
PurpleSprite lmao😂😂 every should know the difference between some nasty ass reggie and moonrocks and of they dont tht is because they broke asses stay smoking to much reggie so it has gotten to them. ctfu.
That’s crazy.. I just received my first bottle
This is actually your best series now.
Hard to taste it when it's served lukewarm from a plastic flute
Telling the difference in Champagne is some sommelier shit... It can be kinda difficult
That's the point. 99% of people don't know know the difference, why pay more.
*BREAKING NEWS* *JAY Z Buys Online Media Company COMPLEX*...for fifteen dollars and immediately sells it for a little over three hundred...
When asked about the quick buy and sale the rapper responded,
*"hahaha, chea it's the Roc! Nothing too Complex, uh! Let's have a toast to dat! Bleek go get a bottle of Ace..."*
One is actually a Champagne (protected designation) the other is sparking wine from New Mexico
I remember 50 called Ross’s drink “bum juice”
Lol ace of spades is overhyped though. Also agree Jayz dont wanna do an interview with complex lol.
Hennessy vs Dusse !
Hennessy is better
Do My Tia Ana's Tamales. Don't Believe The Hype.
Hey Jay-Z has great Marketing Strategy and it will sell Well in the market , now $300 a bottle , well you get the Point. Marketing Strategy
Falcons choked so hard
I like that champagne pop sound
Why I had see this 😥. I really want be bougie for my 30th 😂😂
Me too for my 50th... let's save our coins suga🍾
Same lol my birthday coming and I was gonna buy it now I’m second guessing
Same lol
Did any of you ever buy it?
I'm ctfu at the Amsterdam on the producers desk. 🤣
Try the same experiment with GasHouse or cookies weed vs no name weed and see the results 🤣
I would go with Veuve clicquot any day of the week. Then dom perignon for a special occasion !
Firstly, Ace of Spades is made with cheap grapes and is therefore not considered a "good" tasting champagne. Also, the $15 "champagne" is sparkling wine. It is not champagne unless it is from the northeast of France.
Did the taste improve ? Because they just won a champagne tasting competition
PUH-LEASE!!! AofS is heavy on the legendary!!!
open the bottles incorrectly you should never here a pop.. should be a slight hiss or no sound at all
Just take a small sip of both and then look at the glass bubbles.
If you can't distinguish taste, surely you can tell which one is more bubbly.
i wish jay z can make some ace of spades beer the can will look just like the bottle
2:25 is that Eddie Huang????? OMG he works for complex??
The guy at 1:19-1:29 reminds me of Dwight from the office 😂
That's actually who i thought it was 😂
Should have people who actually drink champagne not people who can’t even open it
don't believe the hype after letting people that don't even drink champagne judge it. complex hating on Hov
"Men lie , women lie , numbers dont ha ha ha ha " - Jay Z voice
Jay Z champagne is actually garbage, people are just paying for a brand, and like getting ripped off. Cristal is a exquisite champagne. Ace of spades, doesn't even Deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Cristal.
you know y'all gotta do Puff Puff's Ciroc next
Puff don't own Ciroc. He only gets a percentage of what's sold in the US only.
Should have been a $100 vs the $300. Still a $200 difference, but at that price it would have still been a "good" cheaper bottle.
thats cool. i'll rewatch it.
Some ppl don't know good champagne
super crazy bottled water vs water out the tap. people always choose tap water.
stop re-uploading damn
In n out fries (or shake shack) vs. mcdonalds fries
boy u buggin that ace is official. .and u can d tell the difference if you drink champagne. ....i had the Ace at a party and its good to me....
How would they know the taste of expensive? If they only taste ordinary in they're whole life.. Sometimes we become ignorant to the other things and contented in simple things
How could you know the difference if you never tried it?
complex i want u to do a sneaker shopping plz
Jay-Z ain't buying Complex anymore lmao
The hype is the way it makes you feel afterwords... 15 dollar bottle will make you feel like shit.. A nice expensive bottle makes you feel good... at least it does for me
Don't let Speedys hairline distract you from the Falcons blowing a 28 to 3 lead
what about Cologne cheap vs expensive cologne or perfumes
Also remember that 10 minutes later you just piss that shit down the drain.....
Two things from a European perspective:
1) It is sad to see how little everyone knows about champagne. 2) An even split is a tie, not that ace of spades looses. And even more: a tie by people who only drink to get drunk and barely understand the craft is not conclusive 😂 no hate though, love your content, always entertaining 👍🏽
l love complex do another sneaker shopping
Drinking out of plastic not crystal glasses that's a no no!
Fiji vs regular water
hilarious the ladies knew asap which was which
speedy has bangs as a hairline
Y'all should do expensive chocolate for Valentine's Day or expensive flowers
Liquor game is hot. Facts
Krug is the king of Champagne.
We see the the sneak dissing and negetive ad for Ace...first you won't name the $15 champaigne but you name drop the Ace and there are many other brands more expensive than the Ace but you won't dare touch other brands but always want to try bring a brother's business down with some sneaky shit. Good one Complex.
NosaTV what the f are you talking about? can't win for losing. the point is ALL expensive champagne is bought for status. NOT because it's worth the price they charge. The champagne is EXTREMELY marked up. Costs them $10 a bottle to make. They charge you $300.
fucking idiot...go learn to read!...what other brand of Champaigne was named in this video?
Don't believe the hype on off white air Force ones vs normal af ones
Real supreme money gun vs fake supreme money gun 💰💰💰
Difference between Skol Vodka and Grey Goose or Effen or Belvedere or Ciroc
You should react to some French rap (Niska, Pnl, Djadja & Dinaz, Kaaris,...)
Maybe do one with ice cream or one with hot dogs.
The one with the glasses and blonde hair by the computer reminds me of Dwight Schrute
Why do they put "don't believe the hype" when the hype was correct all along and you should believe it
all these rappers drinks are some regular shit you can buy at the liquor store. it only cost more Bc their name is on it
$300 for cheap grapes and not even a vintage.....yeahhh
You should do the fragment 1's vs the royal 1's
he needs to fire his barber
YO GUYS DO A DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE, REMASTERED JS VS EARLY 2000 RELAEASES I THINK THATD BE SICK
