money over bitches

The concept, much propounded in the hip hop community, notably by male rappers, that a preferable strategem for those seeking success is to pursue money, rather than 'bitches'. Underpinning this idea is the as-yet-untested theory that suggests a negative correlation between success and women. Among the more prominent adherents to the the 'money over bitches' mantra have been Kanye West, who in one collaboratiion with hip hop group 'Dilated Peoples' expresses that: "I don't know what's better, gettin laid or gettin paid, I just know when I'm gettin one the others gettin' away." In a similar vein, rapper 50 Cent, in his 'Ryder Music' observes the folly of pursuing bitches by suggesting that: "Homie, you hustlin' backwards if you chasin' a bitch Stupid, chase the paper, they come with the shit." Other prominent adherents include the late Tupac Shakur, Lil Wayne and the Game.
