Finally, A Rap Song About Being Frugal!
Slim Thugga started it with his “I don’t make it rain, I make it drizzle” personal finance ebook, How to Survive in a Recession
. Now with Macklemore’s Thrift Shop, seen above, what we have is a downright trend of frugal rapping. Finally, rap songs about money and not in the traditional “I’ve got a condo around my neck” way. Best line from Thrift Shop: “They be like, ‘Oh, that Gucci – that’s hella tight’. I’m like, ‘Yo – that’s fifty dollars for a T-shirt.’” Rap evolving. I love it.
lol, love it. Finally the worlds of rap and frugality have collided.
That was hilarious! I kept laughing when every time they said, “this is f*cking awesome.” Catchy little tune!
I love that song and video! I’ve seen it before and it’s just pure genius!
Great video, it would be interesting to know how many of the props were actually bought at a thrift store.
Haha right! They probably had a stylist buy everything super expensive. Or maybe they really did thrift store it.
That’s great! I’ve written about a few songs that had some quite un-frugal lyrics in my view(Katy Perry and Nicky Minaj songs), so it’s good to see some songs like this now!
I want that bad ass coat.
