It takes money to make money.This is a proverb that all hip hop artists have to understand in order to make it in the rap game. Most artists lose before they even start for not understanding the importance of getting their money up. However, Birmingham, Alabama rapper, Big Gen aka The Bread Staker, brings bars of building your budget with "Money On My Mind" mixtape. Big Gen's voice (somewhat similar to Young Jeezy) really draws you into his bars. Snipe Young's produced "Hold on me" adds flavor to the mixtape as Big Gen speaks on the rap game's influence on him. Big Gen teaches us how to get and how to keep your money. The double edged sword of this mixtape is how Big Gen pushed the theme of this conceptual mixtape. He does have his relationship tracks ("The Bomb", "Shawty Got my Back", "Crusing"), but his subject matter is very limited. However, the beat selection helps to allow the mixtape not to become stale. The best thing about Big Gen and this mixtape is that he knows how to make a single. Almost every track on here has radio/single potential. Big Gen lives up to his name as a bread stacker on this mixtape. He clearly shows us if you have money on your mind, then you can have money in you hand.
