THROWBACK Jay-z and JD- Money ain't a thang

Items mentioned in song that presumably are covered in diamonds/precious metals: rings, bracelets, chains, and a platinum gun.  

Or to better show you....

I'm going to say it, I think that Jay-z and JD think money IS a thang.  I mean, yeah they have a lot of it, but I think if they were to all of a sudden lose their money, it would be a "thang".  I understand something being a "thang" as something that has value.   I'm just saying it's like a high school girl saying, "I don't care if bobby likes me" but then ALL SHE DOES is talk about bobby.  I'd believe this song more if they said "Money ain't a thang" and then talked about Rollercoasters. 

Now, I'll pull myself past that conundrum so I can review the rest of this rap.....

One thing that gripes my grits are when artists say how rich they are when

 they are a brand new artists, or maybe over sell how popular they are.  Now, don't get me wrong, Jay-z is hard to beat.  But come on JD, you're not that popular....

"Know why? Cause I write the songs that the whole world sings" -JD

I bet that was originally Jay-z's line, and JD really wanted it, but no one had the heart to tell him that he isn't as famous as Jay-z so they let him have it. 

"Ya'll shit fo real till ya ship a mil" 

Disclaimer: Do not ship a million dollars cash in the mail.  I'd even feel uneasy about a check.  Just get a wire transfer.

Though I might be reviewing this song harshly, it has one of my all time favorite lines in a song.

"I've been spendin hundreds since they had small faces"

What I love about this line, is it doesn't matter how poor (me) you are.  You can relate to the time when there were hundred dollar bills with small faces.  I don't know what a platinum gun looks like, or a bracelet that is "frostbit" but I HAVE seen a hundred dollar bill with a small face, and it WAS a long time ago.  He must be doing really well if he has a good interest plan. 

Rate: 4/5 wheezies.  This might be surprising since I was being pretty sassy with this review.  But it was only because I care so much for it.  It's like, I'm in second grade, and this song is the boy I like but can only show it by being kind of mean.  Or like this....

Look, I don't understand a lot of what's going on in the song, and I can't identify with having that much money ever, but if you put this song on while you're driving, even if it's not a Bentley, you will enjoy yourself fully.  I do like this song a lot,  I just wish JD would know his place.
