"Rubber Band Man" is a song by American rapper
Complex Magazine
's "Best Atlanta Rap Songs of all Time" and number 61, on their "Best Songs of the Decade."
Background
T.I. says the song's title is a reference to his habit of wearing
drug dealer. There is also a previous song by soul group The Spinners with the same title which was made before T.I. was even born. [9] The rubber bands are used to hold big wads of money together because they won't fit into a normal pocket wallet. Publicity efforts for the single were derailed by T.I.'s arrest in August 2003.[10] At the end of the song, there is a skit advertisement for "buster card" and the number is reversed, so if you play that skit in reverse, the number is 404-349-5000 which is the number for a Subway Restaurant in Atlanta, GA.[11]
