Wu-Tang Clan – C.R.E.A.M. (Official HD Video)
[Chorus: Method Man]
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M., get the money
Dollar, dollar bill, y’all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M., get the money
Dollar, dollar bill, y’all
One of the most referenced and quoted hooks in the history of hip hop (perhaps THE most referenced), and in music history in general.
Method Man is not glorifying money and excess; rather, he’s saying that money holds power, and is a factor of major decisions made in the world he lives in. Those who have it, have power and those who don’t, won’t get up anywhere; sort of a way of saying the “love of money is the root of all evil” phrase from 1 Timothy 6:10 in the Bible, if you will.
From Akon to Method Man’s friend Biggie, as well as countless others, this line has been heard just about everywhere, albeit sometimes misinterpreted.
The “dollar, dollar bill y’all” verse might have been taken from a 1983 Jimmy Spicer’s song “Money (Dollar Bill Ya’ll)”.
