The economic crash has made life tough all over. Stocks are sinking, jobs are scarce and folks' retirement accounts are dwindling.

Now, the downturn is even affecting the vital partying sector of the economy. According to TheLondonPaper's blog, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z couldn't scare up his usual $50,000 pay-to-par-tay fee this weekend in England, where he's promoting the NBA New Jersey Nets (of which he's a part owner).

Even after the rapper dropped his price to $13,000, there were reportedly no takers, with a club source telling the rag, "At this rate he might even have to party for free.”

The horror...the horror.
