CASH CRATE : STARVING ARTIST

Does poverty equal great art? That’s a question that’s been loosely debated for as long as debates existed. There are plenty of people out there who stand in the middle and consider it an open playing field. If the art is great then the importance of status is nonexistent. Some would argue that wealth has a more refined taste and with the unlimited mediums and means for creating they have an upper hand. At the same time, there is almost a glamorization of the “starving artist”. The “starving artist” is hungrier and has more life experience, pain, and depth to use to fuel their creative process. The art is more of an escape, a way to fantasize and own your world, as poor as it may be. For me, while creating art finding money is a huge issue at this point. One way I’m getting extra cash is by using cashcrate.com

Is music made by rich kids any better than poor kids and vice versa? That’s subjective and debatable. The point is that poverty is part of life and in hand part of artistic expression. Many artists aspire to share their music to the world and in turn make a living doing so. Then once a band or artist “makes it” and has their finances and their grandkids finances secure they begin to start speaking up for other people who’re poverty stricken. Be it “We Are The World” or most Neil Young songs, even the rich still sing out with songs for the poor folk.

Over the years, there have been plenty of songs about needing money and wanting to escape poverty. One way to make some extra money is by joining cashcrate.com and taking advantage of the 100% Legit way of making money online while on your butt. Even our favorite musicians had to struggle and work to make ends meet. With cashcrate.com you can avoid the elements and work at your leisure. Let’s take a look at some of those songs…


Song: “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman

Ranked at 165 on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Songs of All Time, Chapman is the highest ranking song that’s both written and performed by a female. This song’s lyrics don’t really need much explaining. It covers the hard times of Chapman’s life with the “fast car” being the symbol of desired wealth and to just use it to get away in general from the down and out lifestyle she feels stuck in.



Song: “In the Ghetto” by Elvis Presley

Long before the ghetto was a hip hop locale, it was just a term used for a place for poor folk to call home. In this, the story is about a boy who struggles in the ghetto. He fights, steals, gets a gun, steals a car, and is eventually shot. It’s kind of a gloomy song in comparison to what we normally think about with Pressley. The “And his mother cries” at the end is pretty impactful.



Song: “Another Day In Paradise” by Phil Collins

Phil Collins get’s all ballad on us with a song about homelessness. You’d completely understand this fact if you watched more than five or so seconds of the video. The presentation comes off a bit pretentious. Collins is shot all artsy and with sooo much “passion”. They then mix that with a invasive power point presentation of homeless people. I appreciate Phil Collin’s concerns for the homeless, but this comes off really hollow. I normally can dig small doses of Phil Collins, but I won’t lie to you and tell you that I made it through the whole video.



Song: ”Atlantic City” by Bruce Springsteen

Never really been a fan of “The Boss” and this one doesn’t do much to change that. This song clearly tells a story about a guy who needs money so he gets a gig working with the Mafia in Atlantic City. It’s a darker track than most of what Bruce has put out there, but still and probably always will be included on his “Greatest Hits” albums.



Song: "Spaceship" by Kanye West

This was from “The College Dropout”, when Kanye wasn’t sounding like a robot and his content had a bit more substance. The song isn’t so much about super poor poverty, but just surviving. Most people have to work shitty jobs to make ends meet and fantasize about getting away.



Song: “Nine to Five” by Dolly Parton

This one isn’t so serious compared to the rest. Dolly put this track together for the movie of the same name. It’s not so much about being broke, but about the whole 9 to 5 grind and all that comes with it. It’s from a female perspective and basically goes into a narrative about how you have to kind of bite your lip and just take shit from your employers in order to pay the bills. I’m sure many of us, male or female, can relate to this one.



Song: “Mr. Wendal” by Arrested Development

Unlike the Phil Collins song, this video gives a less trite view of the homeless. The content is basically to not disrespect or ignore the homeless based on their appearance. Lyrically and musically, it’s a bit hokey and cheesy but as were the times. I was never a huge fan of this song, but for some reason this was one of the first songs that came to mind when putting this topic together.



Song: ”The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

This old school hip hop song is as old school as any. In 82, this was released as a single and went platinum in less than a month. Going back to that Rolling Stones Top 500 List, this song ranked in at 51 and is the highest ranking hip hop song on the entire list. I appreciate the grittiness and realism of the video and still know some parts in the region that look like this. The line “Don't push me ‘cuz I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head. Ahahaha” is just as awesome as it was when I first heard it.



Of course there are plenty more “poverty songs” out there. What is YOUR favorite poverty song?

CASH CRATE : INTRODUCTION



About a month ago I was looking for a part time job on the normal job search websites and came across a “pay to click” type of job offer post. It seemed fishy and too good to be true and with some research I found out that yes it was. This job search finding was a scam and many sites told me so, but I kept reading. What I came to find was people were ACTUALLY making REAL money with cashcrate.com.

So I did some research on couldn’t find many complaints, but LOTS of people very happy with the company and their paid-in-real-check EARNINGS!

With more research and a bit of reluctance I ended up signing up to see what it was all about. The big difference here is that there is NO CHARGE/NO FEES/NO CREDIT CARD INFO/NO ANYTHING needed to sign up except for my real name, real address, and a working email account. So basically, off the bat I saw that there was NOTHING TO LOSE with cashcrate.com except for maybe a little time. The company has been around for a few years now and I would assume if it were a scam that it would have been legally removed and the BBB would be on their asses, but not the case. cashcrate.com is 100% REAL!

It took awhile to get the hang of it, but in all reality it’s pretty easy. You click on one of their offers, fill in your info, follow the instructions on the cashcrate.com page, and with little effort the offers start approving. The offers can be kind of fun at times too. Some offers get you $1 a pop, some $.50, and a few a little lower. But at three to five minutes an offer, the money adds up QUICKLY.

Within my first three weeks I had over $120 CONFIRMED EARNINGS. So that means, I get paid $120 for sitting on my butt on my computer while watching TV, listening to music, smoking cigarettes, talking on the phone, and pretty much living my life as normal. It took about a week to get in the full swing of things, but when I did it became almost second nature. If I can do it, so can you. There is plenty of money to be made on cashcrate.com and I can honestly give it a full recommendation.

If you have a job and need extra income or just need some extra pocket money and have access to a computer with the internet then you have nothing to lose. It’s FREE and so far the easiest money I’ve ever made that didn’t involve a Birthday card.

If you’d like to make some money then sign up with cashcrate.com now and start earning today!
