The good news is, the stock market was at these levels when Hip-Hop was good, and nightlife wasn’t completely gay (Bottle Service, girls always dressing in jeans and flip flops, guys wearing clothes without rhinestones on them (Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier).

So maybe we can turn back the clock on this stuff too!

“Let me kick it, about the digits, that I’ve collected
Long distance, and disconnected, it’s gettin hectic
Before my record, they didn’t show it
But now they throw it, hopin that they’ll get drunk off Moet
or Cristal, but that’s not my par-ticular style and taste
My name ain’t Puff and I ain’t got loot to waste
I ain’t got time to waste, bad bitches is all up in my face
Crazy ignorant, sweatin links minks and shit
Cosmetic, but deep down, derelict
Fake players, never get out the projects
It’s pathetic — the way she bends for dividends
I tried to jewel her but she tried to get a drink at the end
of our con-vo-sation, I did not have the patience
Slid off to the next Asian
She said, “What you do?” I said, “What?”
She said, “You know your occupation?”
So I broke the fuck out
In nineteen-ninety-six that’s what it’s all about, but
I won’t go that route
Back in the days Biz said it was The Vapors
But today, I realize that it’s the papers”
