Kentucky Colonel

A few weeks ago my good friend and business associate Sean Stafford asked me if I wanted a Kentucky flag. Of course with most things political things getting our flags proved to be a little more tedious than we anticipated with certain political offices giving us the run around while other just gave us a [...]

The Real Recession… Not The Album

money

Over the course of the past few months as most of you mayhave or may not have noticed the country is going through a recession. Yes areal recession just like the title of Young Jeezy’s latest album. What arecession means is that basically we’ve been in a money slump for more than afew months. I’ll save my whole recession speech for another day but today itbecame apparent to me that even mainstream rappers are beginning to feel theeffects of the tumultuous economic crisis. When dudes who usually lie about allthe shit they don’t have start crying broke then you know something must bewrong.

I read somewhere today that Damon Dash is about ten millionin the whole. Ten million! How is it that an individual who used to rent condosin London for the fuck of it is not only flat broke but in the whole. From mycalculations since I don’t have very much money at all and Dame Dash is tenmillion in the whole I’m a cool ten milli richer than Dame. I’m not at allhatin. As a matter of fact I feel your pain Dame. No more pouring Cristal overthe side of the boat huh!

It seems as though 50 Cent and Lil Wayne have realized thatdropping new and unnecessary products this holiday season is most likely goingto be a bust. For some reason 50 still thinks that he is some how going to sell11 million copies like his first debut. You see 50 has what I like to call theDogg Syndrome where basically his first album will be the only thing he everreleases that’s worth buying. As for Wayne I think he has come to theconclusion that since he dropped his last album back when Bush said that theeconomy was in good shape he definitely doesn’t want to press his luck toomuch. I don’t know about you but I knew that shit wasn’t the same when 2.5million made a year’s top selling album.

P.S. The extremely low gas prices are not a good thing…
