Before we get into the song, can I take a second to laugh at the name on this dude? The dollar sign in his name makes me think that Ke$ha has an idiot half brother who decided to go into music too. Also, why is your debut single essentially named after you? Think of how dumb that would be with other groups. What if the Beastie Boys had debuted with "Your Beastie Boyfriend"? Feel free to supply your own examples in the comments. Also laugh worthy? Watch the video.... why does he tuck money into his sunglasses? How sad does that look? You're that desperate to make people think you have money?
As we move on to the lyrics, I'm listening to the unedited version on Spotify. The Youtube video is edited.
The chorus start off talking about riding around with a gun and drugs, which are "cleverly" also the names of girls. Nina is a firearm? Kesha refers to marijuana? Oh Ca$h Out, you're a lyrical marvel so far!
Your diamonds talk for you? Well, we know what kind of women are going to be attracted based on your jewelry, so you have fun with that.
Wow, I would have never thought that G5 rhymed with high! And a G5 is an airplane that flies high in the sky! Oh man, that line works on so many levels!
Your watch and necklace can buy a condo apiece? In today's crashed real estate market, that's not much of a brag. A few years ago before the recession that might actually mean something.
Let's see, in the first first verse he talks about moving drugs, hoes, a gun, Louis, catching a case, having money, and stealing your girl. I guess he used the modern random rap generator to make this first verse.
Verse two in summation: dropping the top on his car (in the video he's driving a hard top vehicle. I guess they didn't have a convertible for rent that day!), flocks of hoes, flocks of "birds" (drug slang), mentions an athlete (Stockton), shooting people who mess with his money, the tired "no acting/it's a movie" we've been hearing for years, calling himself "the bomb" (Pigeon John did it better), smoking weed ("stink bombs"), a bunch of other crap, and then bragging about having a plane.
I don't even want to go into verse 3. Pimping, Maybachs, more drug references, and the ever so original line about skating on his ice we're playing hockey.
Why is this song popular? The beat isn't anything special. Mr. Out doesn't have a great flow. The lyrics are cliche after cliche in a slightly different order. Are people really this stupid? They must be. Grow up folks. Get a little taste and demand some intelligence from your artists.
