Essay 1092


More money, more problems — with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons joined Jermaine Dupri, Ludacris and others to school folks on financial management at Atlanta’s Morris Brown College. “They don’t need to just pay attention to the bling,” said Simmons. “Rappers spending countless money are on television. But in real life, these artists are very responsible with their money.” Although a few rappers admit reforming, like twice-bankrupt Kurupt. “If you hang around bums, then you are going to be one,” said the rapper. “But if you get positive people who are looking to be millionaires, then you will someday make millions. Those are key ingredients in being successful.” Hey, who needs Charles Schwab when you’ve got Kurupt?

• Automotive News reported that Ford Motor Company and General Motors have talked about merging or teaming up. However, no discussions are currently happening, as both automakers are individually scrambling to get their acts together. Sounds like the companies could benefit from talking to Kurupt.
