"Grey Poupon" references in hip-hop

[Earnings]

As a young breh I associated "Poupon" with Potpourri for some reason and imagined it as such... Not til I got a gig at a restaurant did I discover the great Grey Poupon mustard that Hov held and warned nikkas about in 96.

The references have everything to do with the way Grey Poupon was marketed as a upper-echelon condiment; a mustard for the rich and high society. That's why we hear rappers either brag about using it, or in 50 Cent's case, rag on Jay-Z for being a "pass the Grey Poupon ass nixxa..." It can be used in a braggadocios manner or as an insult to someone who has abandoned their hood roots. Also, "Poupon" just sounds like something expensive lol.
