Rapper 2 Chainz received his gold plaque for “No Lie,” gold prices rose to new heights leading some with liquid income to freeze and some with disposable income to bling -- at the same time, according to reupspot.com.
Yet, all in the sum of one week records were broken, albums turned golden and South Africans protested to resolve on-going salary disputes between platinum mining unions, according to reports.
In a way, 2 Chainz career has come full circle with the economy — from the time when he was formerly known as Tity Boi – one half of the rap duo Playaz Circle, which stood for Preparing Legal Assets for Years from A to Z – to now when he can say he broke a record formerly held by Jay-Z.
Question.
In an industry like so many others that are losing value due to supply and demand - a business term as well as the name of Playaz Circle debut album -- might accolades and equality prove more essential in a south-bound economy? Or have we not broken the chains of poverty?
Here’s the reality.
It’s not a fad - economically fame, alcohol, drugs and dreams are safer investments and easier to sell, which may explain why fans of 2 Chainz feel his work is a piece of “work.”
Yet, folks with liquid income are not rushing to buy gold commodities — let alone a gold album as some who may have disposable income.
Whether it is silver or platinum, it is cheaper than Gold.
It’s unclear if that is why Kanye West “went to Jacob's and made the new Jesus Chains" in gold.
It's also unclear if he did so after noting that Hov was wearing platinum and not gold at such a time.
It is clear however that commodities such as gold costs $1,602 per ounce, compared to Platinum, which $1,399 and Silver, which is $27.76 per ounce, based on reports.
So which is a better investment?
In no way am I saying Kim Kardashian is just some white girl. She's is just a "Bad B____," says Yeezy.
But, what I am saying is ... he invested in an asset.
