I love how you all drank the koolaid, guys that shits fake, its all fake money lol its not worth anything. For being real marketers none of you know fake money when you see it? Please someone take out a 100 dollar bill from their baller wallet and look at the back of the bill and then look at 30 seconds in when the band comes off the stack lol.
How do you know that it's fake?
Also many of us earn in USD but got EUR out of ATM's or other currency
Maybe you need to brush up on your Secret Service Counterfeiting classes.
The new bills have Independence hall on them. Those bills are real.
What's going to be really fucking funny is when he loads up his Lambo with all that cash, then wreckes the thing and there's 2 mill floating around the city streets. Wouldn't it make more sense to put it in some duffel bags or real briefcases or something?
You be trollin?
Come on, you actually think someone as successful as 50 would 'fake' that video? That's probably just money from his piggy-bank.
All I can picture is him rear-ending someone and the hood flying open with 2 mil raining down on the streets.
he's fronting, just like he did in his cribs video on mtv, none of those cars were his. I might keep like 50k around in cahs but that muhc come on, you'd need to go to a bank and request the money ahead of time and shit. Its not real money. If it was he'd be even more stupid but its fake look at the hall on the back of the bill its not a tower at all the wides look the same cause when it covered up by the band it looks real but they have to make differences or they can get in trouble for counterfeiting.
You need to understand the position and life he lives.
The rap game is like the jungle, you need to consistently show off your strength, strutting your stuff like a Peacock. It lets your fans know that you're worthy of their praise and let's your peers know that you are virile.
If you come from middle-class suburbia stunting won't make sense to you, but if you're from Southside Jamaica, Queens you'd probably "get it".
Snack on this:
Saddam Hussein's unwonted displays of wealth (such as his gold toilet)... Why would someone do things like this? Does anyone really want a gold toilet???
No.
It displays power - it's literally a throne.
I used to wonder why rappers do this, but once it was laid out to me in a similar fashion I actually respect the game a little bit more.layboy_sml:
Well said Soup.
I think it's interesting how people fail to see that each different culture has it's own unique status symbols that nearly everyone in said culture adheres to and uses to gain acceptance and respect.
For the gangsta thug community, having a Lambo with $2M stuffed in the boot is damn near as baller as it gets without being soft. 50 still cultivates that "street" image. Jay-Z caters to the same market but with more of refined, executive level air to him like a Frank Lucas. Still making the biggest moves but without the noise because he doesnt want to just be rich, he wants to be truly wealthy (not that 50 isn't..)
In the high end of the tech scene, you have a very different dynamic; demonstrating your status by being overly-casual in dress occasionally accented with subtle displays of wealth, such as rocking a $5 t shirt with an $80k Patek Phillipe or while hopping down the boarding ladder of your personal 757 (less subtle). Or like Biz Stone, meeting the President of Russia wearing jeans, sneakers, and a zip up jacket.
It's about displaying power either by showing you have so much money you can and will do stupid shit with it or by flouting social convention and silently making the statement that you are above the rules that define social interaction for the peasants that they deign to walk amongst.
Last but not least, one of my personal favorites, is the hippy crowd. Just as the latest Birkin bag is to the housewife in 90210, so is the latest hand-woven-in-the-amazon-by-some-unknown-tribe-in-a-sustainable-fashion "sling" (which costs $XXX) that holds the Kleen Kanteen covered in all the right concert stickers is to the hippy chick and her friends.
rofl his banker must think he's a retard for withdrawing all that in new bills then depositing back later that day.
I'd like to see bill gates make one of these videos where he swims in a sea of $100 bills and puts all this weak shit to shame.
