Good Points. Also, many ppl fail to realize that some of their favorite (industry) rappers - who "dropped out" or "failed to graduate from highschool" - read/wrote at or above a college level at a very young age. Maybe they were bored, and just maybe they had a God given gift that many of us weren't born with. As a result, we (the ones without the "gift") have to work hard/attend school to get (close) to their levels. Metaphorically I will use Chauncey as example, he's a bball player Right? He may have been born with pure talent and only had coaches teach him the fundamentals of the game OR like most of us, he was born average and worked hard with coaches and teachers to get where he is today. In both cases there are exceptions, but generally gaining knowledge/skill - especially if u aren't "a natural" - will help. I'm not positive but I doubt if any other genre of music has such a resistance to higher education and that confuses me. In all, I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PPL TRY TO KNOCK YOU IF YOU RAP & ATTEND SCHOOL EITHER...its crazy!

niggaz be acting like niggaz cant be in the streets and be in school. I'm the perfect example. i'm on a full scholarship playing divison one basketball at sacred heart university. Im from the hoood. I live that street life too. i dont go around looking for trouble but i know how to handle different situations. nigggaz look at school like its a bad thing. school helps you furnish your street life. school teaches me how to live a organized street life....how do you feel about rappers who attend school?
