Hi,

Can you supply a bit more context? Are we talking about mone, or sports, or medicine, or a technical subject of some kind?

You might be better off by posting on the rec.music.hip-hop newsgroup of Usenet.

An attempt: it is
getting flow=getting money
in rap terms.
--------------------
Is it me or does it seem that rap is becoming a victim of itself? It has been
so overshadowed by the mainstream that creativity is being greatly overshadowed
by marketability. Nothing extremely earth shattering has really come out as of
late. The truly innovative groups are hustling nickels and dimes!!! Yeah we
can all scream Biggie got flow or Mack got flow, but I hate to tell
ya......They ain't nothing but MTV rappers. Everything they do is about the
money, not the music. I know some of y'all know what I'm talking about. How
the **** could Biggie insult himself by doing that duet with Da Brat!

Hi,

As regards the financial meaning, it doesn't seem totally unrelated to the more mainstream term 'cash flow'.

Best wishes, Clive

I was right: it is money.

I made a search at Yahoo with:
flow rap dictionary
hoping to get a rap dictionary page describing flow, and it hit on:
http://www.rapdict.org/Flow

And, as Clive has mentioned, it is related to cash flow.
