Surprisingly Awesome Financial Advice From Hip-Hop Stars

“Control what I hold and of course be the boss of myself.” – Big Daddy Kane

Big Daddy Kane’s hit “A Job Aint Nuthin’ But Work” is filled with fatherly, financial advice. What do you expect from someone who labels themselves “Big Daddy?” Kane has a few great quotes throughout the song like “I believe I can achieve to make ends meet like a hair weave” (i.e. always believe in yourself) and “the rich gets the most and the poor gets so little, and only money love can make it in the middle” (love is important, guys!). What’s the most poignant is his strong views about making things happen for yourself rather than waiting around for your dream job.

“Control what I hold and of course be the boss of myself. No one else will bring my wealth. I gotta hit them streets to make ends meet.” Financial control equals financial freedom. Be informed and work hard.
