There's a long history of rap lines about the bureaucratic hassle of flossing, from NAS's "I wear chains that excite the Feds" to RICK ROSS's "so many cars the DMV thought it was mail fraud." Don't think for a minute that this is just idle jive or street razzle-dazzle: every day, rappers are persecuted for balling too hard. Take this recent Tweet from SNOOP DOGG for example: "At the Norway border right now being sweated for having too much money!! Norway stand up for the biggdogg. The border guys are cool but they talking about taking my $$!! That ain't right!!"

While his upcoming Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, may sound like a surefire hit, it was nearly scuppered by a pair of glistening ornaments.
