On the way to work today we admit we listened to Jay-Z’s newish song “Jockin’ Jay-Z” and realized that a lot of rappers are going to have to stop bragging about their money. The country could be going into a crazy recession and nobody buys CDs any more. Unless you own a clothing line or were an early investor in Vitamin Water, we don’t believe you have a Benz made out of alligator diamonds or whatever. So we thought we would help out. We’ve done it before with rap names. Here are 7 Things Rappers Can Talk About in the Recession.

1. Who Rocks the Party?

Remember that? Remember when MCs wanted us to throw our hands in the air and wave them like we just didn’t care? Maybe we should try that again. Because the repo man just took your peanut butter whip, your 20s, your ice and your grillz. And partying is cheaper than spinny jewelry.

2. The Cops

They were always a good go-to. There’s never enough anti-cop songs. Especially in hip-hop. What if we told you that Scarface from the movie Scarface hated the cops? Get on it.

What do you get when you take a really talented impersonator like Affion Crockett and give him the chance to make a music video as the two biggest rappers alive - Lil Wayne and Jay-Z? You get a pretty damn funny video.

We don’t get very political here on Comedy.com, but how can you not like a presidential candidate who cops a move from a Jay-Z song in dismissing the attacks of his rivals? Well played, Barack Obama, well played.
