The joy of making it rain
GACA
Un-retired: Met my ATF. Married her. Divorcing her.
Since a lotta white guys seem so perplexed about it, here's my two cents.
When you're from a community so goddamn poor and you could get got over $20, well the absolute status of success is being so rich you can throw the money away quite literally.
Poor niggas (I was one of them) actually resent the construct of money since not having money makes them feel worthless. We (mistakenly) blame a lot of our social problems on the fact that we don't have money. Being broke is oppression. We are always indebted to the power company, phone company and rent. And feeling indebted to anything wears away at one's self worth.
Being to make it rain is turning the tables back on money. Where money is now so worthless and we can have zero regard for it, a just throw that mutherfucka away.
That's success. Ya that's freedom baby, and all slaves wanna feel like they're free HNIC.

I once surprised a bitch by throwing $600 in ones on stage. I brought the money into the club in a Target shopping bag....It was like watching a kid play in the snow for the first time. The impact was completely different from giving her smaller bills. It was her money anyways though lmfao
But I got a lot of jealous hateful looks from all the broke niggaz in there.
Its the ITC version of taking a bitch to the mall and letting her get anything and everything without looking at the prices, then watching the look on her face and the employees faces when you pay in cash.
What about the girls who are rained on? The guys are throwing money away - and the girls keep it. Is the perception different - for the girls?
Older “gentleman” type dudes are more likely to tip me a $20 bill rather than throw it at me in ones. Which catches my attention just the same.
True life example: when I first started going to non-extras clubs, there was an older black guy there who was an established regular. I hated being there when he was, because he would always have 3 or 4 of the hottest strippers attending to him the entire time. Sometimes a stripper would be with another customer, he'd just get her attention and call her over ... and she'd go. He spread so much money around that the girls went to him when called. Like a rainmaker, he did the "this money ain't shit" move, but at least HE benefited from it in some way... instead of throwing it away at the stage, he "threw it away" getting hot chicks to sit with him all afternoon. And yes, all the rest of the customers noticed, just as we would have noticed if he just "made it rain" all that $$ at the stage. But this guy made the same statement, while getting personal up-close attention from hot strippers. Made total sense to me. Grudging respect for his operating model.
BTW, that guy is no longer around, and I'm usually the one with a few girls at my table all afternoon. So I'm thinking this makes me the HNIC.
Yeah I don't think rainmaking is a smart move at all. But niggas like to floss in front of other niggas.
That "Haha, I'm better off than you" complex started way back as far as field vs house, know what I'm say'n?
I play it like the old dude you were speaking of, but I'm there for pussy not to make niggas feel I'm better off than them.
Booty poppin - making it rain - and practicing good dental hygiene at the same time? WTF!
I wish I could make it rain like this guy:

If it is a cultural thing among the impoverished black population it is just another display of attitude that perpetuates their collective inability to break the cycle.
Others include ostracising peers who perform well in school and the abundance of absentee fathers.
This would be me if I tried it.
Exactly. GACA's explanation gave me some more insight. I still think it's a questionable way to engage in conspicuous consumption -- you could also use that same money to conspicuously consume by having all the hottest strippers at your table for the next 3 hours. But whatever. I've always said I don't mind rainmakers -- I'd rather a guy with money be making it rain on the girls in order to impress other customers, than using that same money to monopolize the hottest stripper all day. Over the next 4 hours, I'll hang out with her at my table and do VIPs with her, he showers her with singles whenever she's on stage. Win-win-win! Which, as I scientifically proved above, makes me the HNIC, which amuses me immensely
That said, I rarely run into guys who make it rain in the clubs and shifts I go to.
