The concept, much propounded in the hip hop community, notably by male rappers, that a preferable strategem for those seeking success is to pursue
money, rather than 'bitches'. Underpinning this idea is the as-yet-untested theory that suggests a negative correlation between success and women. Among the more prominent adherents to the the '
money over bitches' mantra have been Kanye West, who in one collaboratiion with hip hop group 'Dilated Peoples' expresses that: "I don't know what's better, gettin laid or gettin paid, I just know when I'm gettin one the others gettin' away." In a similar vein, rapper
50 Cent, in his 'Ryder
Music' observes the folly of pursuing bitches by suggesting that: "
Homie, you hustlin' backwards if you chasin' a bitch
Stupid, chase the paper, they come with the
shit." Other prominent adherents include the late Tupac Shakur, Lil Wayne and the Game.
