Rapper's Delight

And we thought they were just wasting their money...

Congratulations to each and every rapper/thug/gangster/etc who was enlightened enough to plan for a period of inflation, and act swiftly to protect him/herself against it. By purchasing precious metal "Grillz", these individuals effectively hedged themselves against a weakening dollar and have made their prosthetic wonders yield a double-digit return. Is it a mere coincidence that these "new money" superstars predicted the onset of inflation? I doubt it. I think they realized that with dozens of people making six-figures (or more) creating jingles that include such notable lyrics as

"Hey ma, what's up, lets slide, all right, all right
And we get it on tonight
You smoke, I smoke, I drink, me too, well good
Cause we gon get high tonight
Got drops, got Coups, got Trucks, got jeeps, all right
Cause we gon take a ride tonight"

our money supply is truly misplaced, with, simply put, too much money available.

So, to all those who were ahead of the curve, "Stay fly"



Thank you to K. Shah of Oliver Wyman for pointing out such a profound reality.
