The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sure it's a cliché, but sometimes it happens to be true. And oh my, did I ever find truth in that cliché while watching the Yo! MTV Raps marathon that's been running on digital channel MTV Jamz for the past few weeks. Thank Baby D's "I'm Bout Money" clip for providing this revelation. Now, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about this video. It's every cash, hos, bling clip you've ever seen. But what I do find remarkable is that I remember The Roots parodying this exact video -- 12 years ago. "What They Do" was a perfect send-up of mid-90s rap video excess. There's something sad about the fact that it's still just as relevant over a decade later.
