School’s back in session! Which means, for at least some of you, that right now you should probably be doing your homework instead of looking at music blogs. But don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.

It beats doing your econ homework! And it’s nearly as educational! Seriously, hip-hop hasn’t dropped this much knowledge on economic theory since the Notorious B.I.G.’s classic revelation that mo’ money meant mo’ problems.
