Money, hoes and clothes: all a nigga knows

from The Notorious B.I.G. – Big Poppa Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

What about cash?

what rich niggas want and have

Aesthetics are never lost on Biggie. It’s really a commentary on the environment in which he grew up, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, in which these materialistic objects such as money and clothes are highly valued. His attainment of these are implicit in the lines. Hoes? Well, clearly, he is interested in sexy women, thus the trifecta of his attainment.
