Yeah, I said it.. Do you feel offended?
Good, because I don't. Neither does the 40 other million people singing this lyric by Chris Brown - Look At Me Now. Out of all the years of hip hop I listen to; this one lyric really stuck out to me.
I think because most hip hop lyrics say "I'm rich" or "I made it" but this lyric really just says "you're mediocre, I'm rich.. bitch" "you're gonna be old and I'm young and got money" and I find it so funny and ironic people love it.. so I did some research to see if this lyric was valid.
Digging into some US Census Bureau: Including all the races and 25+, and of course taking out the super rich to prevent data skew: the average income is around the $35,000 range per year. So in ten years, they would make $350,000. No, let's say Chris Brown's net worth is easily $65M including his investments, assets, endorsements, etc. $65,000,000 divided by 365 calendar days = $178,000. Take that and multiply it by 2 days = $356,000. He is very darn close, lol...
Anyways, just had this thought in my head for awhile and wanted to release it to share with fastlaners..
