Biggie reference…excellent!
Yup.Excellent

brilliant! (as always)
What does the reference to “biggie” mean?
The Biggie Smalls song “Mo Money Mo Problems.”
Who needs PhD-toting economists when we have posthumous rapper references?
“the more possessions, the more worry” – Talmud, Pirke Avot 2:7
Biggie didn’t even listen to himself:
“Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man I couldn’t picture this
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G’s flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is loungin’
Celebratin’ every day, no more public housin’
Thinkin’ back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac’ with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
‘Cause I went from negative to positive
And it’s all… “
Oh yeah. . . I forgot the last part
“Uh…and if you don’t know, now you know. . . “
it’s still all good
Um, can anyone explain this one to me? I get the mo money mo problems thing, but what’s with freeze and slosh?
Look up freeze and slosh on the http://www.urbandictionary.com/
Then bookmark the site because as you get older you’ll be using it more and more. Like I do.
Hooray for middle class.
I’m so old, I thought it had to do with Biggie Munn and the Slush Fund.
{sigh}
Unfortunately the urbandictionary link has left me little the wiser as there are a number of conflicting entries for both words. Care to just take 20 seconds to type out a brief inline explanation please?
Frickin’ brilliant! Thanks for giving me a huge smile, and for giving me a chance to feel self-congratulatory about my hip-hop repertoire. :)
LOL I thought it was to do with liquidity and the current economic melt down!
Freeze = cocaine
Slosh = loose woman (or alcohol?)
eh?
Ok, so (referring to another chart) no wisdom, more money, more problems…
I guess I’d be smart to not have any money so I’d have no problems, but my … Oh forget it
(I like this one too)

this is gold!!!!
brilliant article!
I think maybe freeze was referring to the entry describing a girl who won’t kiss (or anything else) a guy. That’s the only one that made any sense given the available terms for slosh.
nevermind urbandictionary. I interpreted as this:
If you have too little money, you do have problems, such as not being able to pay for heat. Ergo, you freeze.
If you have too much money, you have the problems identified by B.I.G., as though you have overfull buckets of cash and it sloshes over the sides. You just can’t hang on to it all.
In the middle there is a point where just enough money results in the fewest problems.
