While at the barbershop two days ago, I couldn’t help noticing that two fellas had spent about 15 to 20 minutes engaging in a mentally enriching discussion about Lil’ Wayne and how he made it rain at a famous H-town strip club. Pause.
“Man, that boy Wayne made it rain at HK the other night. That boy must of blew like $30,000.”
It sort of reminded me of my own conversation with a friend three weeks ago. My boy had almost bought the idea (sold to him by another Wayne loyalist) that Weezy was literally sitting on real dollar bills in the “Make It Rain” video. My response? “No one’s that stupid.” The same Weezy enthusiast maintained that his favorite rapper was well ahead of the rest because he rhymed about big money. “Other rappers ain’t talking ’bout nothin’,” he stressed.
So, here’s a question for you:
What would you rather hear your favorite rhyme-slingers rap about?
a) Fame and fortune
b) Knowledge of self
c) Sexual escapades
d) Guns and drugs
e) Social commentary
f) Other (specify)
