Rap Star starts his own wine label

Lil' Jon, mastermind behind such eloquent, thoughtful diddies as "Crunk Juice" and whose major contributions to Usher's hit "Yeah" consisted of sporatically screaming, "Ye-eahhhh...." and then, "OH-KAY!" into the microphone, is going to be marketing his own wine.

The label? Little Jonathon Winery. "My full name is Jonathon," he told EW.com. (Gee, really? We thought it was Lloyd). "The wine is more nature: I wanted to not just have a direct connection, but make it just a little bit more upscale than regular 'Lil Jon.' ... This is not no ghetto Boone's Farm; this is some real wine." (Not sure if "nature" is a typo, and he meant mature, or if it's just part of his bizarre stream-of-consciousness speech).

Note the double-negative and the reference to Boone's Farm. Truly, this is not no ordinary wine. Fo sho.

In actuality, though, I'm a millionaire. I'm just a blogger so that I can fit in with the rest of the world.

See? I had you fooled, though, didn't I?
