Budgets are Sexy in da Hizzouse! (It's a PF rap off, baby)
You may not know this, but one of my all-time wishes is to be a Rapper. The only problem being, I can't rap. So instead I just do finance stuff & twitter randomly about my favorite rhymes already spoken by the likes of Wyclef Jean and Lupe Fiasco. This week, however, I got surprised not once but TWICE on the rapping front!Yup, apparently we've got some other lyrical gangsters up in the personal finance arena. And not only that, but they recently spit out some beats for yours truly here at Budgets are Sexy! So I thought it would be fun to have our own little "Rap off" to give our PF Rhymers some street cred ;) So drop a comment like & and tell us which ya like just a little more than the other. Who knows, it may just become our official "song" here!
Contender #1, served to you by K.S. Katz aka CreditGoddess:
One, two, three, take it down!Whew! Whatcha know about that? CreditGoddess rollin' deep up in hurr, yessir...Let's bring out the next contender now. Reigning from One Chance to Live, give it up for my boy BJP:
Budgets are sexy, just take it from me
When I be saving money, it's like sex baby!
Don't hate me, don't dish me for nixing credit cards cause...
Budgets are Sexy
Yes you know
Budgets are Sexy
Man I'm on a roll
I started my budget in three simple steps
Mapping out my income, my expenses and debts
Then I made a plan, a budget for future
Freedom from debt! That's me, I'm not a loser
Budgets are Sexy
Yes you know
Budgets are Sexy
Don't be a Spender!
Take a minute ya'll, just sit right there and listenDannng son! I'm not gonna lie, this is a wild match-up. Both came out strong droppin' the financial facts and bringing in the mad style points! And even cooler is that they come from opposite sexes! aww yeahhhh, gotta love that. So whatcha think? Who brings home the bacon? Think you could do BETTER? Then drop me a line here and show us whatcha made of!
To the finance blog rap that you don't want to be missin'
It's a fun little description about my favorite peeps
and the stories they write about how to live super cheap
I'll start with my boy some know him as J. Money
He is really well known for making personal finance funny
Budgets are sexy is the fruition of his work
where he writes about getting screwed by a wedding photographer jerk
take a minute or two and sift through his blog
if you don't enjoy it then you really...SUCK.
Now its only appropriate to give a shout out and a hollar
to my man Trent over at The Simple Dollar
It's a little more academic, but no worries you need not be a scholar
follow Trent's advise and you're sure to end up a finance baller
The third blog I read is called All Financial Matters
where JLP serves up financial genius on a platter
He is especially fond of using charts and graphs
to demonstrate the way your 401k has been cut in half
It was to these three blogs my finance cherry had been popped
put them all together and you surely can't be stopped
My websites one chance to live and one day I hope to aspire
to the ranks of these bloggers money management empire.
(A HUGE thanks goes out to both contenders for dropping by and leaving us with such greatness! You've both got mad rhyming skillz indeed, and Budgets are Sexy is always honored to have you here.)

J. You cracked me up haha seriously!
Nice job both of you! Luvin' how BJP is sendin props out, old-school style, but I have to give my vote to the CreditGoddess. Sometimes less is more. Hey J Money, is this going to be regular feature?
lol! Only J.Money can pull off having a PF rap-off on his blog...
Awesome raps...a pretty close call, but I'll have to give my vote to BJP. (It was pretty elaborate!)
Wow... PF rhymes? LOVE IT! :)
HAHA! Love it!!
You guys are so GANGSTA!
Yessirrrr! you know i gotsta mix it up for you all. not sure if it'll be a regular feature or not, but if people start sending more over i certainly can give it some thought ;)
OH! And if any of you can actually produce these bad boys and send me the mp3, you KNOW i'd love you for life! and that's a long time...plus, you'd get a permanent shout out from me once i plaster it up on the main page here! yesirrr.
Ha! You are too funny. I bet you could rap if you tried!
BJP just upped the stakes,
By adding his lyrical genius to the ranks
But the CreditGoddess ain’t done yet,
She’s just getting started folks so sit back and relax.
Now I’m not a blogger, just a Tweeter by trade
I keep it simple and sweet, just 140 characters baby!
But that doesn’t mean that I can’t interject
A few more lines to my PF BFs.
Now I’m going to digress with a personal tale
Why budgets are important to this little gal
See when I was in college, just wet behind the ears
Creditors convince this homie to sign up like her peers.
Without an education about managing my finances
I spent and spent with the card, not thinkin of the consequences.
I got in debt deep, started getting over the balance charges.
Then late fees accrued cause I couldn’t pay them in larges.
My interest got so high, it was more than I could handle.
I hate to admit this folks, but I was SOL without a paddle.
My daddy had to come to the rescue, he bailed me out
But not without an issue, not without a budget backing me up.
Take it from me, a home girl that’s made mistakes
That J. Money and other PF bloggers and Tweeters
Are here to help you balance and stay on the straight.
Peace out! I’m done…unless BJP adds another round.
That was hysterical, thank you for the laugh today!
Fabulous! What a great post!
my vote is HANDS DOWN....for the CreditGoddess NICE RHYMES GUYS ;)
Way to go CreditGodess that was a noble attempt and to that I present my Audio rebuttal....that's right I stepped it up to an all out WAR....
Here is the URL for Round Two of the Finance Blog Rap
http://www.onechancetolive.com/2009/03/finance-blog-rap-rebuttal.html
Thank J.Money for hosting this friendly competition.
bjp just threw down with the song. I gotta give him my vote...unless creditgoddess brings on a music video.
WOW. this has certainly gone all professional up in here ;) And it looks like I know who'll be producing my theme song now - wha wha!
Whatcha think Credit Goddess, you gonna be throwing out a music video? Something tells me you'd come out winning w/ that one....what's rap w/out the ladies?! haha..damn i love my job.
It might a little maneuvering to get into a studio but I didn't want to disappoint my fans so I'm putting out this verse:
Awww shit, get your pacifier ready BJP it's about to go down
Everybody sit back cause the CreditGoddess is in the house
But stay on your money management toes
Cause I'm about to throw down
I'm on a budget (I'm on a budget)
I'm on a budget (I'm on a budget)
Listen up cause I'm livin' large on a budget (livin' on a budget)
I'm on a budget (I'm on a budget)
I'm on a budget
Take a good hard look at my livin' large budget (budget, yeah)
I'm on a budget personal financers so take a look at me
Straight spending on a budget on a mid-figure salary
Busting zero debt, bills paid before my due date
You can't stop my savings piling up cause I'm on a budget
Take an audit, audit (audit)
I'm on a budget, boi (boi)
You drinkin' my Kool-Aid savers,
Cause it's so sexy (sexy)
I got my checkbook balanced
and my funds for emergency
I'm saving Benjamins, you at bankruptcy
Loose charging credit
I'm riding on a snowball, gathering funds and freaking
The monies in the bank, man that's getting me all wet
But this ain't Monopoly, this is real as it gets
I'm on a budget, you fool, don't you ever forget
I'm on a budget and
It's growing fast and
I got a life saver
personal finance plan
I'm the queen of lyrical PF
On a budget like Ramsey
If you're drowning in debt,
Then listen to my rap-oh baby
Get off the coach, this budget is REAL!
From the C to the G, don't mess with me.
BJP you might be the king, but I'm the queen.
And we all know who's wearing the pants in this house!
J. Money, my boi, this rap is dedicated to you.
wow, i love it, TOO hilarious. Who knew pf bloggers were so hip?
Bravo. My hat is off.
I gotta vote for #2 cause I've never seen a rapper hyperlink before. Was the female rapper Lil Kim? Her download song cracks me up!

Hilarious, they're both awesome. Who knew!
Just inspecting out your CoPF entry - hilarious! Haha.

same place at the same time.

1MansMoney: Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture of the future
for my family my intentions to get richer, with

J. Money: Sho nuff, I keep my hand on my keyboard cuz they got
me on the run, now I'm in the stock market waitin' on
the outcome. Fix the economy is all that's on peoples
mind but at the same time it seem they tryin' to take mine,
so Ima' get smart and get defensive and stuff and put
