I bookmarked this XXL Mag blurb that compiled quotes from rappers’ about their thoughts on the economic recession, and only got around to reading it now. There’s a goldmine of interesting things to infer and discuss from these responses, but I’ll just leave you with some of the ones I found most striking.

Buckshot: “There is no such thing as a recession, the recession is an illusion. And people like Buckshot and Steve Jobs and Bill Clinton and Bill Gates and all of these other people that deal with corporate business, we all know that it’s an illusion, it’s a scare tactic and it’s meant to do what it’s been doing to people.”

Here’s another gem:

Tru Life: “Oh nah, that shit [recession] ain’t touched me not a bit. It ain’t a game man. I just bought 4 or 5 brand new black cars and only because I felt like the haters thought I was doing bad or something. Now it looks like a funeral when I pull up. They just saw me being humble, I’m a real humble dude. You know I live by my needs, I don’t really live outside of my needs.”
