"Now why's everybody so mad at the South for?": Those words rang out like gospel in the fall of 2006, especially over the radio in North Carolina. Fat Joe was spitting the truth, embracing the unstoppable wave of the South, the hottest region in rap, and its hottest artist, Lil Wayne. The song blew up. I remember it playing at every single party my freshman year of college. It was so big that, like "Bling Bling" before it, it literally changed the language of pop culture. Suddenly, everyone knew what this phenomenon of throwing one dollar bills, previously limited to the strip club cognoscenti, was all about: "got a handful of stacks, better grab an umbrella."
By 2011, a New York Times article about the trend would note, "Anyone with a few gigs of hip-hop in their iTunes knows the term, which can have multiple meanings. It has become a staple in strip-club anthems like 'Make It Rain,' by Fat Joe, featuring Lil Wayne." That article noted the practice was divisive among strippers, but by that time it was already fully absorbed in hip-hop's DNA, no doubt in part from the single. It's probably an exaggeration but maybe not a big one to say that Migos as they exist now would not be here without the strides made by Terror Squad in 2006 (although we can probably credit Travis Porter's song of the same name a bit more directly).

The November 4, 2006 issue of Billboard featured an article titled "Wayne's World," about the rapper's growing radio presence, in which Universal Motown VP of marketing Katina Bynum is quoted as saying, "Every time I turn around, I have a new song on my desk. If we cleared all the songs, it'd be Lil Wayne radio."
"This comes at at a time when the South was just winning, winning, winning," he told Complex in 2011. He described going to a club in Memphis where the DJ played nothing but southern rap and watching a girl dance by the speaker all night, and, he said, that was the image that stuck in his mind as he coached Scott Storch on what kind of beat to make. "I got back home, and I said to Scott Storch, 'Yo Scott, let's go work on a beat. I want to make a dirty south beat.' And he's like, 'Get outta here. That ain't Fat Joe.' But I'm like, 'My man, watch how we freak this.'" He went on to explain Lil Wayne's addition to the song:
I originally did the chorus. I played it for Irv Gotti and he was like, 'You're cool with Lil Wayne. Get him to do [the chorus]. He'll do it in a second. That way niggas won't be so mad at you. It's already a down south track, so at least it makes more sense to have a down south nigga on it too.' So I sent it to Lil' Wayne, he sent it right back the next day, and the rest is history.
We had just left the strip club like two days before, making it rain. And I was like, 'Nobody ever made a song called 'Make It Rain.'' I thought that was weird. People have been making it rain for years. Why did no one ever make a song about it?
They also popularized a term that has utterly permeated pop culture, from Parks and Rec to Kim Kardashian's custom emojis. "Make It Rain" was turning point for America, and it was pretty good for Lil Wayne's career, too. Plus, to this day, this song absolutely bangs in ways that make you want to stand on couches and throw money until there are no more couches to stand on and no more money to throw.
The phrase, with its imagery of showering an abundance of cash, draws from its roots in the term rainmaker. Recorded in the late 18th-century, a rainmaker is an individual in Native American culture believed to have the power to make it rain (and so aid agricultural bounty). By the end of the following century, rainmaker was applied to professionals would could successfully bring in business.
Beyond cash, make it rain can be applied to an assortment of items, e.g., business cards, if a person passes them out willy-nilly, university degrees, if an institution is seen to too easily confer them, or even non-paper items like cookies, if someone really values baked goods or just made a batch.
This is not meant to be a formal definition of make it rain like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of make it rain that will help our users expand their word mastery.
The Fort Wayne TinCaps have every intention of playing each game, even when the weather forecast may be calling for rain. Parkview Field's playing surface includes state-of-the-art drainage in the outfield and an oversized tarp to cover the infield dirt. This combination allows the TinCaps a great chance to play ball regardless of the amount of rain that might fall prior to a game. Parkview Field's award-winning grounds crew will be hard at work to maintain and prepare the field for each and every game. A decision to play, suspend, or cancel will NOT be made prior to the scheduled start time of any game, and a game's start time will more likely be delayed before an official decision is made. This is done to allow for additional time to evaluate the weather forecast for the Fort Wayne area.
There is NO SET TIME for the cancellation of a game due to weather. Each weather situation is different and includes unique variables and circumstances. Anytime weather is an issue, we weigh factors that include the amount of rain the field has already absorbed and future forecasts, including likelihood of future rain, possible rain duration, and the severity of additional weather. The decision to postpone or cancel a game due to weather is made with these, and many other, factors in mind. The most important factor we consider is the safety of our fans and the players. When weather is an issue we make decisions that are in the best interest of the majority of those with tickets. We understand that each fan with a ticket to a game also has unique circumstances. Weather, good or not, is a factor to consider with an outdoor entertainment option, such as TinCaps baseball.
Please keep in mind weather forecasts in our area (TV and radio) are intended to cover an area of well over 100 square miles. We utilize multiple sources, including a professional weather service and radar, to pinpoint the weather at our specific location in downtown Fort Wayne and give us forecasts specific to our location. It may very well be raining at your house, but be sunny with blue skies at the ballpark.
If the game is OFFICIALLY called, which means the game never started or failed to complete five innings, please keep your ticket stubs with that game's date. Rainout tickets may be exchanged for a similar ticket location to any remaining regular season TinCaps game during this season, based on availability. All tickets are based upon availability, and are valid for an equal, or lesser value, ticket. No full or partial refunds will be given for a difference in ticket price. Redeem your tickets early once you know what game you would like to attend to avoid that game being sold out.
Exchanges can be done in person at the Parkview Field Ticket Office or through the mail. If you mail your tickets, please be sure to include your contact information and top three game choices as well as seating preference. You will be contacted by a TinCaps representative when the tickets are received.
In most instances, a game postponed due to weather is made up as part of a doubleheader the following day. You are NOT REQUIRED to use your tickets for the next day's game. We give you the opportunity to choose any remaining date that fits your schedule, based on ticket availability. Whatever date you choose, your tickets from the cancelled game need to be exchanged with our ticket office for the new date. We cannot guarantee the same exact seat location for the new date.
okay what the hell is this dumbass catchy song about? i hate how its played all the time on the radio now and ill bet 90 percent of people bobbin their heads and singing the empty lyrics have no clu what the hell theyre listening to (sadly myself included sometimes) so anyone with any idea about what this song is about, make a post, please.
This song is about the term used in strip clubs, it means when youre in the club with a stack of cash. When you throw the money in the air over the strippers, it makes it look like it is raining cash on the hoes.
Almost Big Yeti Dick. It's definitely not exclusive to strip clubs. Making it rain does mean throwing money in the air and making it appear as if its raining money, but it includes all dance clubs not just strip. I originally thought it meant nuttin' on hoes, and am disapointed because that would've been a much better topic for a song. After finding out the true meaning my respect for the song decreased, but the concept of being in a dance club and just throwin' up money, although wasteful, seems worth experiencing atleast once.
