Surprisingly Awesome Financial Advice From Hip-Hop Stars

“Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” – Jay-Z

In the song “Reminder” from his 2009 album The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z makes a call for financial freedom:“Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” The song heavily focuses on the idea that people are unpredictable but success is not (he’s got like a zillion hit albums, right?). In order to be fully control of your life, you need to be financially in control. Don’t rely on a partner and don’t be concerned about what people say it (anyone can talk trash, but not just anyone can grow a business from the ground up). Get a job, make money and the rest doesn’t matter.
