Even in Music Series III

I have come to enjoy these posts as I decipher what some of the artists in today’s music world are saying about money and how they can influence younger generations to either spend or save their hard earned money. The artist of the month is Pitbull or Armando Perez aka Mr. Miami and Mr. 305 as he refers to himself in the third person 90% of the time. The lyrics and the subject matter of the post is in a song called, Rain over me Ft. Marc Anthony in his album titled Planet Pit. If you can withstand all the sexual connotations that he mentions in the song and just wait for the monetary reference he makes it is well worth it. This is actually a great song with a catchy beat to it that might get your hips moving without you even realizing it. Ha Ha.The song has 100 million views on YouTube and is most likely the most popular song on the album.

What did Armando say:

They will not know what I got till they read the will. I aint trying, I aint trying to keep it real, I’m trying to keep wealth and that’s for real.

This is pure genius as Pitbull’s mentality is perfectly stated in that line as somebody who has a saver’s mind frame and really cares about his future. When I heard this line after playing it a few times it really struck a nerve with me because I have had the same perspective he has for my entire life. I hope after listening to songs like this people are pulled to think the same way instead of always thinking about splurging on that next new thing which will never improve peoples financial well being. If Pitbull is smart with his finances as he states, I can see him leaving a massive legacy for his family and for his future foundations. (Most artists have a foundation as a way to give back)

Financial influence is everywhere and sometimes it is delivered in a negative context! But this time it was delivered in a positive light. 

Better yourself and strive for a new mentality of preserving what you have and growing it everyday.

My motto – Watch your Money!
