Move over, Wu-Tang Financial… there’s a new hip-hop finance collab coming down the pike. Warren Buffett’s upcoming series for kids, “Secret Millionaire’s Club,” promises to gives kids advice about money management – and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, we’re told, has a role:

Jay-Z has had a lot of big-time collaborations this year–a record with Kanye West, a coming baby with Beyonce, and now the mogul-rapper is doing an animated show with Warren Buffett.

Jay-Z and Buffett will appear in “Secret Millionaires Club,” an animated series that debuts on The Hub this Sunday, October 23. (Buffett, of course, belongs to the even more exclusive, not-so-secret billionaires club.)

Word. We’ve long considered Jay-Z’s “Money, Cash, Hoes” to be near-gospel so we’re anticipating a video full of heaping helpings of solid financial advice and street credibility.

A few other things we think y’all will enjoy:

- CBOT to Occupy Chicago: We are the 1%, what’s your point? (belated h/t to Bart L!)

- Was banditry afoot when a group showed up to close their Citibank accounts? What is “disruptive” to Citi is “jazz hands” to others, and there’s plenty of video, so you make the call. (belated h/t to @jmccyoung!)

- More lighthearted: who needs a national currency when you can just pass David Bowie notes around your neighborhood?

Also if you’re wondering where I’ve been lately, I’ve been getting around, I suppose. My latest work: Theme Cruises Gone Wild for the Huffington Post.

More soon. I’ve got something on the Fed and sentiment analysis in the hopper.

Links! Been a while since we did a roundup (sorry, I know, worst blogger ever). But without further ado…

- There’s been much flap this week about the LinkedIn ($LNKD) IPO, and whether or not the company got “ripped off”, the exact quantity of German performance cars being procured in Silicon Valley this weekend as shares were sold off, etc. Props to The Epicurean Dealmaker for summing it all up as such:

“Frankly, I have always suspected that the stentorious outrage about special favors and secret deals investment banks allegedly dispense on IPOs really boils down to simple envy. Nine times out of ten, I suspect the person whinging is just pissed off he did not get shares in a hot IPO himself.”

Or, as we might say around here, haters gonna hate.

- The Reformed Broker finds that the most hilarious risk factor for the Yandex IPO is, well, that in Soviet Russia, government divests you, anytime it feels like it.

- Earlier this week, in the European markets, we noticed that Greece took a page from Rebecca Black: Friday, Friday, their rating went down to B+ on Friday. (Which seat should they take? Any of them, provided it’s on the failboat.)

- Ann Taylor ($ANN) recently indicated they’re bullish about Q2. So I went to the mall this weekend and did some research.

- Finally, if you’re wondering what the life of a Brach’s heiress is like, it seems to involve rural Montana, horses and a lot of nose candy. (via TakeAReport)

- Crocheted Olek wanted to make sure the Wall Street bull had a nice warm blankie for the blizzard.

- Hoping to register “BrianMoynihanBlows.com, BrianMoynihanSucks.com, BrianTMoynihanBlows.com, and BrianTMoynihanSucks.com” and do a little hazing of Bank of America? You’re out of luck: Bank of America owns all of those, and countless others (h/t TonyS). Not sure how this is going to stop anyone from saying that Brian Moynihan sucks, so, great use of shareholder moneys, y’all.

- Really, Americans, did you let a little thing like a snowstorm stop you from doing what you’re supposed to do, which is buying stuff?

- No warfare like class warfare: the battle to develop St. Barths. For all the uproar you’d think they wanted to build a 5000 unit timeshare or something. An eco-resort? Quel horreurs!

And as a nod to the Republican gains in the House of Reps (to which we can only say, may you live in interesting times), here’s a trip back to the rip-roaring eighties for you in the form of Yuppie Rap:

- Left is right, up is down, cats and dogs are living together and the market has been going up over the last few months while money has been flowing out. Makes as much sense as anything else these days.
