honestly if someone flung money in my face like that I'd hit them too. but why did dude throw the cash then put his hands in the air like he was ready for it?
raises interesting - well, to me - point about the meaning of money in different cultures.
not sure what pcmr was getting at with the african descent/misunderstanding point, but showing/offering money in some african cultures is showing admiration/respect.
I guess it's not as dirty if you rewind a couple hundred years and use the currency of gold coins and jewels? - but considerably more painful!

Man, I can't tell if the years of "f*ck you and your money" Hip Hop attitude I was raised on has seriously altered my usual positive outlook on life or if Bassie is just disconnected.
If someone threw money in my face like that my first instinct would be to sock that fool up.
Of course, I'd STILL take the money too. I'm not needy but I'm not stupid either.

in a live performance of african artists on the continent its tradition to throw money to a performer if you are more prestigious you get up on stage (or get pulled up) give money to the performer and he thanks you by allowing you to dance on stage for a second and get your picture taken with him
i just thought this might have been a crunk kenyan trying to encourage pitbull or some obnoxious dude who knows
My guess is the guy wanted Pitbull to knock him out on stage and Pit was like "sure man, but it'll cost ya" so the guy was like here's 20, 40, 60 and Pit says "Yeah you're good, hop up here my man" but then Pit, realizing he has the guy on stage was like "you gotta pay me more" so the guy paid Pit what he had left and then the transaction was completed. Both parties left content.

Unless there's a big African contingent in Aspen, Colorado, I'd say some douchebag tried to front and got what was coming to him

Was dude really stepping to him though?
But regardless, when he got onstage he STILL threw money in Pitbull's face. Pit just gave him back his change! Ha ha!

i love that scene in godfather II, when one of the rissotto brothers gives frank pentangelene the "lucky" c-note before they make their big deal.
indeed

Throwing money at somebody means (in many circles) that you think they are a sell-out or are for sale, with undertones of "you only care about $$$".

Do people really pay rappers to pose for pics?
