This Line Got Me Good

They Tried To Clown Chamillionaire, But Here’s How He Could Afford That ‘Finals’ Courtside Seat And Much More

In an interview with Noisey, the rapper said he was tired of staying where he was — regarding his circle.

As the source notes, Chamillionaire wanted to be a “Chabillionaire.”
“I walked around the music industry for a bunch of years, right? I saw a lot of rich people. I didn’t see wealthy.”

Essentially, Seriki figured out he was in the wrong industry. The music industry is like a pyramid scheme.

The Organized Chaos That Is Burning Man

Strange Rules You Didn't Know People at Burning Man Have to Follow

You Have To Dispose Of Your Own Garbage (There Are No Trashcans) 
  • Let's try to break this down logically (they said before smashing their head through a wall). Because of Burning Man's "leave no trace" policy... there are no trash cans? Whatever the rationale behind this is, you should know to bring means of storing and removing all your own MOOP ("matter out of place," or things non-native to the ecosystem) before heading out to the desert. Burners take this seriously, too: many will clean up trash left behind by strangers just to avoid damaging the land.
No Photography
We've all seen photos of Burning Man, but have we really seen photos from Burning Man? Think about it. The no photo policy is in place so attendees can cut loose and do whatever they would naturally do if they weren't surrounded by thousands of pocket-sized cameras, and the kind of people who can really afford to do this desert anarchy festival correctly are some of the wealthiest people in the world, and it wouldn't endear them to their uptight colleagues if they were photographed zonked out of their mind on molly and wearing a diaper.

How Many Of These Do You Know?

The 20 Best Hip-Hop Guest Verses of All Time

1. Snoop Dogg on Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” (1992)
  • Could it have been anything else? No guest verse in rap history is more iconic than Snoop Doggy Dogg's star-making turn on Dre's chart-topping classic. Even casual rap fans can bust out Snoop's easy-rolling cadences with a, "One, two, three and to the four/Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door." It's the song that introduced both Snoop and G-funk to the world, put Long Beach on the map, and made "It's like this and like that and like this," part of hip-hop holy writ. If you haven't listened to it lately, Snoop's verse is still straight fire from beginning to end. — A.H.
5. Busta Rhymes on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario” (1992)
  • When Busta Rhymes roared like a dungeon dragon, it was the closest hip-hop heads got to wailing like punk kids. Every rapper on here bodied their verse, with Busta closing out the record with easily the most memorable part. After this track, getting paid for roaring features became the vibrant rapper’s calling card. He was the last member in Leaders of the New School, all of whom were featured on "Scenario," anyone expected to have a successful solo career — but his debut album, 1996's The Coming, made people respect his pen game as much as his flow. — T.J.
17. Andre 3000 on UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem” (2007)
  • Three Stacks has murdered many a guest verse, so it's difficult to pick just one. But no one ever used his charismatic vocals more cleverly than Bun B and Pimp C, who cast him as a reformed player stepping to the altar as the ironic intro to their ode to pimp life. "I apologize if this message gets you down," he texts to an ex-girlfriend, breaking the news that he's off the market. "Then I CC'ed every girl that I'd see-see 'round town." Only Andre could make exchanging vows sound like the most pimpin' move of all. — A.H.
