Just to put the idea in the minds of the youth about the importance of investing your money. They already brag about being entrepeneurs, opening restaurants, clothing lines, etc. That's the next step.

Even if they're not that well-informed, just talk to their accountants for some talking points. It would mean a lot if Jay-Z came out and said some shyt like "Hov put 10 racks on google shares."

Or if Ross was talking shyt after a verse and was like "What you know about options nikka? I just threw 5 racks on calls on Apple. My shyt always come back above strike price. Bawse."

Yeah
Hey shawty, ain't no future in no gang-bang
And ain't no manhood in no bang-bang
Ain't no honor cleanin interstates inside a chain-gang
Know some rap nikkas put that shyt inside your mainframe
Pills make you stupid and liquor do the same thing
'Raris too expensive and they way too hard to maintain
Get yourself a Camry, "nikka said a Camry?"
Watch that ho depreciate and then you'll understand me
It's called being fiscally responsible
Don't let these lying images up in hip-hop here conquer you
The TV's not your father fool, that video's not your momma
Try your best to be a man and your worst to be a monster

It ain't as exciting as hustling on the corner and tricking on hoes :troll:

But seriously, rappers lack mental discipline to create inter-generational wealth outside of a few. Too much materialism.
Man hip-hop is about hustling and making money. That's not all it's about of course, but it's a pervasive element. Just a trend of minor mentions by popular rappers could at least plant the idea in the mind of some young folks. Maybe they do their research and get in it. Most people have computers now. It cost nothing to open up a sharebuilder or TDameritrade account.

So true I remember my grandad telling me when I was younger the difference between "being rich" and "being wealthy".

Trading stocks compared to popping bottles, simping strippers, and smoking LOUD is "boring" to these nikkas.
