Jay-Z Is Right: Most Rappers Are Lying About Their Money
The world of rap got us used to listen lyrics in which the rappers, show us how they succeed getting out of the hood, flaunting all the stuff that they got now, like, planes, golden watches, exotic cars, mansions, etc.
Sometimes it's reasonable to think "It's all true?" Well, in some cases it is, in others not so much.

In Jay-Z's new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, the song Versus goes right to the point, because "You're no where in my rear mirror".
