Some of you may be familiar with the Fat Joe track Make it Rain, off of his album Me, Myself & I and you probably already know how pure genius it is. For those of you unfamiliar with this magical song, you are in for a treat. No matter what your background is, I think you should be able to find the humor in pretending to be so well-off that you can literally throw money into the sky. I might be mistaken, and if I am, feel free to go fuck yourself and read another post or another site.

The Plan

My buddy turned 24 today, and is having a get-together at Springbok to celebrate his most recent trip around the Sun. We have had a running gag of just spouting out “make it rain” regardless of context, so I decided we need to take it to the next level. The idea is that we will make our own rendition of a music video for Make it Rain, will heavily drunk, and using Monopoly money rather than actual duckets. Reason being is that I don’t exactly have a spare stack of hundo’s to fling around, willy nilly. If you do, please refer to the Send Your Hype page and help a brotha eat!

Presumably, this plan will succeed merely based on the fact that the only elements that matter are alcohol and loud people – both of which will be a commodity tonight. Earlier in the evening I stopped by my local Target to pick up a couple Monopoly board games, which totaled $22, and then I headed over to a record store to grab the Fat Joe CD, which only set me back $4. All in all, less than 30 bones to allow for immense shenanigans to take place – that’s my kind of deal.

The Ingredients

The Practice Run

Before leaving for near-death, and immense shenanigans, I decided to have a quick run-through of the plan. I show off the Monopoly money, the Fat Joe CD, and my luxurious Sony boombox. Time to get ‘er done!

This is probably in the MacGyver league of plans, except I am not making a bomb out of one strand of sheep’s wool, and 6 toothpicks, but it’s close!
