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)”.

Bob Dylan – All Along the Watchtower (Official Audio)
“The joker and thief are two pretty broad archetypes, but there are plenty of theories as to who they are meant to represent. Some think the Joker is a symbol for Jesus, since he interacts with a thief, and Jesus was crucified next to the Penitent thief and Impenitent thief. Additionally, some believe that the Joker is Dylan himself, and the thief is Elvis Presley, as Elvis was accused of stealing rock and roll from the African-Americans to make money. Some have gone even deeper and view the joker and the thief as symbols of life and death. A lot of this song has to do with perspective; the businessmen see things differently than the joker, the princes see things differently than the servants, the thief sees things differently than the plowmen. A concise and beautifully written song like this lends itself to so many different meanings that no interpretation can be proven incorrect. So view it however you like; all we can do is give more information to help you form an opinion.

What we do know about the thief and the Joker is that they are outsiders in some capacity. They operate outside the walls of conventional psychological safety, and would rather spend their time risking the threats of wolves and howling winds than be cooped up behind the safe walls the princes hide behind. The Joker expresses frustration and some degree of sadness at the state of the world, and shows a desire to change things.”

A scam, or confidence trick, is an attempt to defraud a person or group[clarification needed] after first gaining their trust. Confidence tricks exploit victims using a combination of the victim’s credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, confidence, irresponsibility, and greed. Researchers have defined confidence tricks as “a distinctive species of fraudulent conduct … intending to further voluntary exchanges that are not mutually beneficial”, as they “benefit con operators (‘con men’) at the expense of their victims (the ’marks’)”.

Masaru Emoto
Commentators have criticized Emoto for insufficient experimental controls and for not sharing enough details of his experiments with the scientific community.[9][17] He has also been criticized for designing his experiments in ways that permit manipulation or human error.[9][18] Biochemist and Director of Microscopy at University College Cork William Reville wrote, “It is very unlikely that there is any reality behind Emoto’s claims.”[9] Reville noted the lack of scientific publication and pointed out that anyone who could demonstrate such phenomena would become immediately famous and probably wealthy.[9]
Writing about Emoto’s ideas in the Skeptical Inquirer, physician Harriet A. Hall concluded that it was “hard to see how anyone could mistake it for science”.[5] In 2003, James Randi published an invitation on his website, offering Emoto to take the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, in which Emoto could have received US$1,000,000 if he had been able to reproduce the experiment under test conditions agreed to by both parties. Randi did not receive a response.[19]

“I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.”
— Steve Jobs
