The beat is strong and the overall feel has a slight hint of what I would call a Master P/No Limit vibe to it. Considering the fact that the song is called Cash Flow, and Master P was the head of Cash Money records, it's pretty fitting.
And if you're going to have a song called Cash Flow, you know you're going to go after the most lucrative market in music industry with the Cash Flow Ringtone. The Cash Flow Ringtone is number 3 for the hottest ringtone on the market.
This one is definitely going to stick around for a while. Like Mathew Arnold's thoughts on epochs of concentration and those of expansion, rap too, moves in cycles. The two distinct phases are "I shoot people and I brag about it" and "I'm rich and I brag about it". We are in the "I'm rich and I brag about it" phase, which will, of course, be followed by a "I shoot people and I brag about it" phase. I can't wait to find out what the next big rapper will be in the upcoming era. Last time we had 50cent, who was shot like 9 times; the next guy is going to have to be shot like 10+ times just to get anyone to pay attention to him. Or maybe he'll already be dead.. I mean, Pac sells really well...
