True Mathematics was not part of the S1W's he is from Hempstead New Jersey,. His name is Kenny Houston and he was inspired to write "For The Money" by Eddie Murphy. At the time he was living in Eddie Murphys guest house with Eddies brother Charlie and K-9 Posse member Vernon Lynch. He saw first hand how the women were after eddie and wrote a song about it.
@Fuddster hello, who else was there in the event? public enemy? TM belonged to the public enemy posse, you can see him on some of their record covers, and he even sings in some songs
@ticoinjapan Really? Didn't know that - yea, it was most likely PE.....I love PE. I saw them live twice in the last year. Thanks for the info...PEace
This was sexist and materialist but the J-B's riff was the phattest around! Absolutely! Chicago Bugsy Malone style. Someone put up the B-side instrumental. Personally I use women for their money, sad but true.
Oh! shit I thought this song was gone forever I can't believe I found this song . This song was dope back in the day. Whatcha know about that youngsters.
I also want to thank y'all for posting this. I was thinking of all the songs in rap that talks about wrong doin' women and thought about this song. I almost forgot it. Also check EPMDs "golddiging" song as well.
WOW!! Thank you for posting this! I was looking for this for a minute!! DJ General Lee in L.A. used to rock the instumental to this at his parties and it was cold!!
wow thanks for posting this wonderful gem of a classic, i was never able to find this online, i might still have the 12" somewhere I bought back in the 80s when I used to hang in NYC
It's 4 the money it's always 4 the money, whats his is hers & what ain't she'll steal.
