Disclaimer: I wrote this article solely to make bad puns off the Wu-Tang Clan’s debut album classic “‘Enter the Wu-Tang (36 chambers)“.
The same rapper that cautioned us to safeguard our neck has been neglecting his paycheck, or rather, the state income taxes that didn’t come out of it. New York state has brought the muthaf’in ruckus as they prepare to “R.E.A.M.” Wu Tang Clan’s Method Man for dolla dolla bills y’all.
Before you start to chastise the hip hop star with cries of “shame on a nigga” for tryin’ to run game on NY state, note that poor Method Man defended himself on the grounds that “I’m a pothead…I go on the road and forget everything else.”
Don’t shed too many tearz for the man, though, he’s probably worth millions, especially considering the wealth management services he has access to as a Wu member. Just remember, the tax man ain’t nuthing ta f’ wit!
A message from one loyal reader:
If you’re not dreaming about my blog yet, you definitely need to read it more, or at least insert it repeatedly into everyday conversation, just like I do.
Multi-billionaire investor Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, on the Charlie Rose Show in October 2008. This is a facsinating look back through what was happening during the financial crisis, and Buffett’s insightful and easy-to-understand thoughts on it.
Buffett is a personal hero of mine, both in terms of investing and as a model of integrity & compassion in business and life. I find he’s a great conversationalist, so I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Check it out on your lunch break!
