Same side I was on last time. Oh, Hayek.

White guys rapping about cerebral topics is officially played out. What's next?

There's a really great episode of the Planet Money podcast where they talk about this song and then by sheer coincidence to get Ke$ha (singer of hit song Tik Tok, general pop star, thief of Uffie's flow) to listen to it and see what she thinks. Totally worth a listen.

White Limousines are soooo tacky.

I'm on the side that doesn't rap about economics.

(I'll clarify my comment because I already feel bad about it. I'll say that while both men are bright and thankfully have a lot to share with the world, I'm sure they're sharing more knowledge that will stay in minds on a daily basis while not rapping than what most will get from the video who weren't already familiar with the subject.)

And with that, an entire generation was forever turned off by economics.
