About Out for the Cash

"Out for the Cash" is a single and posse cut from DJ Honda's eponymous 1996 album. It was released by Relativity Records as a 12 inch in the United States and by Sony Music Entertainment as a CD single in Japan. The song features raps by the three original Beatnuts, as well as Fat Joe and Problemz. The song's lyrics are braggadocios and discuss the pursuit of attaining money. The song's beat, produced by turntablist DJ Honda, is reliant on pounding drums and a mournful soul sample. DJ Honda scratches a vocal sample from his song "Straight Talk from NY" onto "Out for the Cash". "Out for the Cash" is different from the DJ Honda song "Out for the Cash (5 Deadly Venoms)," also known as "Pre of Cash." "Out for the Cash" failed to chart, but nonetheless was turned into a music video by director Nick Quested. The song is featured on two hip hop compilation albums: 1996's Relativity Urban Assault and 1998's Crucial Rap.

Psycho Les:

This track is splended Honda wanted me to represent it (yo who?) 
The P.S.Y.C.H.O. deep between the lines of yayo 
Son you fake a jack push your wig back like Burt Renoylds 
Even when I'm stressed I keep my chin up like Jay Leno 
Bring it to any fuckin' morano

Hook 

JuJu:

That you wouldn't dare f*ck around with this German 
The life or dead kids incredible Fed bids heroin dreams 
And wild schemes my heads deep 

Fat Joe:

With large addictions partner listen

Bringin' Max back from the ten cheers yeah

Subtrack the grim reaper the most 

Hook 

Problemz: 
It goes a one Mississippi two Mississippi three G 
With all them motherfuckin' I's (eyes) niggas couldn't see 
P.R.O.B., L.E.M.Z. with the verbal tactics 
This ghetto bastard gets you bouncin' like a matress 
I'm all that not to sound conceited 
But I'm undefeated 
Handin' out nuff knots (nots) like Ripley so you better believe it 
A dedicatated underground representitive 
Rugged instramentals get me hyped and give me insentitive 
To blow up the spot like Waco Texas 
When I flex this crusty MC's get corroded like espestis 
On some next shit but it's just the Brooklyn comin' out out me 
I'm one of the ruggedest niggas alive 
There ain't no pussy parts about me 
Word is born this shit is on in your area 
Problemz representin', mass hysteria 
The kid from BK who rock the diamond studded crowns 
Comin' directly from Flatbush poppo now hold that down
