They’re rich. Really, really rich. Demandingly, murderously rich. Jay Z? A piker. Bill Gates? A peasant. Lord T. and Eloise? Rich and getting richer. Fred Smith? He may think he has some scratch, but these Memphis rappers are actually gold-plated.
Funky to the bone and owners of all they survey, Lord T. and Eloise’s 2008 album Chairmen of the Bored document their jet-setting lifestyle from “The Yacht” to “Palm Beach” to “Kinky” love afairs with “Hollywood Stars.” Is it an act? Is that just gold makeup? No, they’re really that rich. In a world where nouveau-rich rappers are a 50 cents a dozen, these guys are the real thing: So old school, they’re actually blue bloods. Not just crunk—aristo-crunk.
