Screen shot 2009-09-25 at 4.09.04 PM.pngI’ve lately been searching for a one stop shop of advice on investing, drugs and hos. Currently I have to tap three different experts (Ron Isana, Larry Kudlow, Warren Buffett, respectively) when I want an expert’s take and I really don’t have that kind of time. So I was thrilled to see that Warren G recently spoke to Vanity Fair in a wide-reaching interview that hit my trifecta of need. As long I can unsubscribe from Ron Isana’s Market Movers without getting screwed on cancellation charges, I’m going with Mr. G’s services as of Monday.

Alan Greenspan recently said that “we’ve already seen the bottom” of this recession. Do you agree, or do you think we have further to fall?
I definitely think there’s hope. We at the bottom right now. We can’t do nothin’ but go up. Just as long as the plans that Obama put together get a chance to work, then hopefully we’ll be back on track.
In this financial climate, does it make more sense to invest in Citigroup or the Crips?
Oh, hell no! Invest in the Crips? That’s crazy, man!
So you think the Bloods are a better investment?
Neither one of them! You don’t wanna get involved in any of that!
You’re not seriously suggesting buying Citigroup stock, are you?
None of that shit, man. I think this recession was all caused by these humongous corporations. Those motherfuckers got money. Even with the recession, those motherfuckers got money. But everybody use the recession as an excuse. Everybody in the music industry, they be like, “We can’t pay you. It’s the recession, it’s the recession.” Recession my ass, motherfuckers. People got to get paid for what they’re worth. You know what I’m saying? You making a hundred thousand on a show and you only be giving me some crumbs. That shit gonna run out.

    Ahhhhh, summer of 1995:
    Just hit the Eastside of the LBC
    On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
    Seen a car full of girls ain’t no need to tweak
    All you skirts know what’s up with 213
    So I hooks a left on the 21 and Lewis
    Some brothas shootin’ dice so I said “Let’s do this”
    I jumped out the ride,
    And said “What’s up?”
    Some brothas pulled some gats so I said “I’m stuck.”
    Since these girls peepin’ me I’ma glide and swerve
    These hookers lookin’ so hard they straight hit the curb
    Won’tcha think of better things than some horny tricks
    I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix

    Warren G calls bottom: Ass.

    By saying he wishes Obama’s plans to get a chance, he’s only hoping his thorough credentials qualify him to become the new czar of financial REGULATORS.

    @14 you recently recommended people buy Citi, remember?

    Oddly enough, there is more truth to interviews like this than the usual crap. I’d rather have some idiot spout crap for 90% with a good 10% that leaks through than 100% drone shit that I can read in a press release.

    “I ain’t mad at those artists rappin’ about money. But I also think we gotta teach these kids that money ain’t what it’s all about. You gotta start being a businessman or a businesswoman. Instead of just poppin’ open bottles of Cristal, we should be teaching them about business and stuff like that. I don’t just mean in terms of the hip-hop community. I mean blacks, whites, Latinos, everybody. As a generation, we need to start leading these kids down the right path. I mean, I ain’t against the gays or nothin’.”
    last sentence is fucking hilarious

    The last time we tried to pay you what you were worth you got all pissy and called Abraham Lincoln.

    @Merkin – You made me laugh so hard I nearly spit my G&T all over the poor dude sitting across from me.
    I think I’m going to take this approach in my next review: Bitches. You gotta to pay me what I’m worth. Recession, my ass motherfuckers. You make billions and all you do is throw me some crumbs. I want my coin.

  33. Posted by guest | September 25, 2009 at 6:45 PM

    That interviewer should be commended. Pretty fucking funny.

    @tax chicky – why don’t you let me be the G in your t’s?
    I must say, reading these posts w/warren g in the background is somewhat soothing…
