PUYL Favorite Song: Theophilus London - Big Spender (ft. A$AP Rocky)


It's Christmas and what is really important is being with friends and family and taking time to be glad and thankful for everyone and everything that we are fortunate enough to have in our lives.  Presents are great, but it isn't all about material goods.  And it certainly isn't about high end clothing, drugs, women, and connections.  Well, mostly because that's not your life.  The best, most materialistic Christmas ever for average citizens would just be another day for some people.

Making heavy use of the Peggy Lee song of the same name, 'Big Spender' is Theophilus London and A$AP Rocky's soapbox for declaring how rich they each are.  It's got pretty standard bragging rhymes and ego inflated talk, but this song just hits on all the right levels.  Since the day it came out, it's been one of my favorites from this year.  The original big brass sections work perfectly with the booming hip-hop bass.  The sample provides the entire hook, so as Peggy entices a potential sugar daddy, these two are eager and willing to flaunt their wealth.  So have fun today, and whether you are an international star or not, enjoy all that you have.
