Jay-Z(Hip-hop mogul/husband of Queen Bey) Thoughts on the matter: “So we livin’ life like a video / Where the sun is always out and you never get old / And the champagne’s always cold, and the music’s always good / And the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood.”

Every time you sip it, you’re sipping from all those other celebrations. The joy accumulates over time.”
