Charlotte, NC – A large wad of cash, generally $1 bills, is thrown in the air and pours down like it’s raining money. A hint of ho whisks through the venue as a crowd gathers center stage in awe. “Making it rain” is nothing new and strip clubs have been hosting this “shocking” phenomenon for quite some time… decades. Even the mainstream was exposed, again, back in 2006 through Fat Joe’s Billboard Hot 100 single, “Make It Rain.” It was popular enough to peak at 13 on the chart and is just one of several fairly recent examples to pull from.

It’s probably going to happen at a club in North America tonight, and there’s a good chance it’ll happen somewhere in the world tomorrow. You might not agree with it, but it happens. It’s one of many, although much rarer, eccentric things that people do that could be perceived as a waste of money or unneeded expenses. Making it rain is more of a guaranteed waste but sky diving, spray tanning, iPhones, luxury cars… you name it, you don’t really need it. To each his own; I like my fair share of unnecessary commodities.

But if it happens and you’re someone in the public eye like Drake, you’ve suddenly committed a cardinal sin. According to some, you’ve spit in the face of every poor child in the world.
