How the other half live, right? remember when people cared about the financial distance between the rich and the poor? Remember when it was considered in poor form for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer or something like that. Certainly, rock stars during punks heyday appeared to have made a vow of poverty.
Well, rap really and truly ended that, didn’t it. The reason simple enough, pretending to be poor when you’re rich makes much more sense if you’ve always been rich as opposed to if you have gone from rich life poverty to a world of luxury, remember when Biggie was wondering “why Christmas missed us”, before concluding that it is now all good.
Which leads me to Sean Combs losing a million bucks in a dice game to Rick Ross and blows it off with an “It ain’t nothing”. Really, how cavalier, right? well, maybe not so cavalier when you’re worth around $500,000,000 . The sort of money you and I don’t get close to.
I don’t envy Diddy, I mean, who’d want t wake up in the morning and discover that they’d Diddy? On the one hand you’ve got half a billion bucks in the bank but to offset it, you’re Puff Daddy. It’s like, would you wanna wake up and discover your 27 BILLION DOLLARS RICHER than when you went to sleep but you are also Mayor Bloomberg. Not me.
Plus, there is something a little tacky about money. I mean, I’d like more, sure, but on the other hand I wouldn’t want be that person.
