You’re asling how much Hpnotiq costs. (About $22 for 750mL online – but surely pricier at a bar.)

Around that time, Kanye released My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and songs like “Monster” and “Lost In The World” featured Vernon. He was also featured on “That’s My Bitch” from Watch The Throne.

Kanye uses these two artists to portray himself. Even though Justin Vernon and Chief Keef are the ones performing the lyrics, it is understood that it is coming from Kanye’s point of view.
