AllHipHop.com’s resident Daily Word guru and all-around inspirational guy, Ash Cash, is back with his latest installment of “Ask Ash Cash.”

Watch the video below his response, as he offers more sound advice to readers:

Greetings my good folks! Welcome to another addition of Ask Ash Cash, where we go in the streets and answer all of your finance and business questions. Remember you can send your video questions to [email protected] or via Twitter (@IamAshCash – use hashtag #AskAshCash).

Dear Ash Cash: What are Compound Interest, Interest and APR? -Dee (Brooklyn, NY)

Peace, Dee. Thanks for the questions. Interest, Compound Interest, and APR and all important terms to know as it relates to savings and loans.

Interest has three different meanings, but we’ll concentrate on two. First, it’s the fee charged by a lender to a borrower to use their money. It’s usually expressed as an annual percentage of the amount borrowed, or the principal, as it is called in banking. The rate depends on many variables, but in most cases, the better your credit score, the lower the rate. The second definition is the return earned on an investment. If you invest your money and get any type of return that return is called interest, which is also expressed as an annual percentage.

Compound Interest in simple terms is earning interest on your interest. Compound interest is not only calculated on the initial principal, but also the accumulated interest of prior periods. It’s different from simple interest, because simple interest is calculated only as a percentage of your total principal.

APR, which stands for Annual Percentage Rate, is simply your interest rate expressed in Annual terms or “How much does it cost you to have your loan per year?”

Tank and Tyrese, two-thirds of TGT (Tank, Ginuwine & Tyrese), recently spoke to fellow R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn about their album, where Tank revealed, “We’re about 12 songs [in]!”

Tyrese assures us there will be no special appearances on the album, and even gives his thoughts on today’s R&B, and the overuse of special guests: “They over-saturate it with appearances. Is it an album, or is it a mixtape? And then you got 30 different producers working on the album. The spirit and the inconsistency is all over the place. We’re working with two producers on the whole album, including T (Tank).”

The trio first appeared together on a remix of Tank’s single “Please Don’t Go”. Tyrese also releases details on the book he and Rev Run are co-authoring, titled Manology, set for a 2013 release.

(AllHipHop News) Representatives for the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. have denied reports that they are connected with a musical about the rapper’s life, after two men were arrested in connection with a bizarre theft from a bookstore on Tuesday (July 17).

Writers Alfred Green and Raheim Pope had claimed they were producing a musical titled “Ready 2 Die,” which would focus on Notorious B.I.G.

Green and Pope were arrested for stealing $888 books from a Barnes & Noble in Westport, Connecticut.

The two men initially denied the stolen booty found in a Jaguar with Georgia plates was theirs.

At the station, a tip from Green lead to a cavity search of Pope, who had hidden the key to the getaway Jaguar in his rectum.

“Please note that this is an unauthorized play. Our firm has previously sent a cease and desist notice and any association with the Estate of Christopher Wallace or Notorious B.I.G. are unauthorized,” a rep for Notorious B.I.G.’s estate told AllHipHop.com.

Green and Pope issued a casting call for the unauthorized play back in March, but the estate warned B.I.G.’s fans that they are not supporting the musical.

“There is no connection or association between the Estate of Notorious B.I.G. and Alfred Green and Raheim Pope,” the rep told AllHipHop.com.

Looks like Pharrell is about to lock it down. Even though he looks young, he’s no spring chicken! Rumor has it, he’s engaged to his long-term girlfriend! About time! The super producer was spotted at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises with his girlfriend Helen Lasichanh. But, she apparently had a giant rock on her finger leading people to believe that they are actually engaged to be married. Now, I didn’t know this, but they have a son named Rocket and may be looking to make it super official. I’m surprised they didn’t name him Neptune.

Anyway…that’s the word. Oh, the word on the streets and the geeks is that Dark Knight is awesome!

Iggy Do It Jay-Z (instead of Biggie)!

I wonder, I wonder. And so are a lot of people – wondering. Will Iggy Azalea get down with Roc Nation? She’s already down with T.I., but she doesn’t have a deal in place. And she’s got an album set to drop this fall. Well, she tweeted: “On my way to go meet the lovely people at roc nation before my shoot. :-)” I guess she may have a situation soon if the rumors are correct. Granted, she created them but folks are telling that this may come to life. Its not the first time she met with The new Roc and now that she needs a “home,” its looking more evident that she’ll land there. Roc Nation has a record label and a blossoming label as well, as you know.
