The rapper,
Fetty Wap, says "1738" in the beginning of some of his songs. He is referring to a type of expensive,
top shelf alcohol called, "Remy Martin 1738
Cognac".
Fetty Wap thought this was the most expensive alcohol made when he created his song. This is because when he went to his local liquor store growing up, it was the highest priced item there. He later found out it was expensive, but not the most expensive alcohol made.
Jim: Hey man, you want to get some 1738 for
tonight's party?
Steve: No way Jim, I
ain't got that kind of money! Who do you think I am,
Fetty Wap?!
