Money toilet paper

Each day, I end up with a “theme song” or that song that starts my day out and pushes me thru on a focused level. For Monday and today, it’s been a repeat of two songs which is kinda unusual.

B.G. & Young Jeezy – Hustle

Big Kuntry – I’m Rich

I don’t know about you, but when the seasons start to come up on a change, my mind starts to shift & begins to focus on things I want to accomplish in the upcoming months. No, money isn’t everything in life. But, to get the things you want out of life, sometimes it takes money to do it. When summer started, I was really in that mode by being fiscally more responsible, saving instead of spending. And as we finally had a break in temperature (Imagine weather forecasters calling 95° a “cool-down”) and knowing that fall is approaching, I’m already gearing up and getting ready for whatever’s next.

And these two tracks personify my mindstate…at least on Monday & Tuesday they did. Kuntry’s drawl over the creeping guitar “I’m a rockstar” beat. It instantly makes you want to lean your seat back and ride with a cool but determined ambition. And B.G is the quintessential comeback kid in this rap shit, holding his own with Mr. 17.5.

As tired as I already am this week though, Wednesday’s theme song may be The Roots’ “Lazy Afternoon.”

To followup, the answer for TSS x Google Raps! Vol. 2 has been posted and a winner has been contacted. Thanks to all who participated, especially the one individual who sent in those 2 Live Crew lyrics that gave me a good ass laugh.
