Having just finished finals, academics are
on the brain. How many hip-hop artists have a college degree? Do they really
need one? Is the music industry always going to be based off of people finding
you and promoting you, and when this happens does your education matter? All of
these rappers in this video went to college. In having a college degree has
this shaped their success in the music business in any way?
Before universities and big institutions
had very pronounced musical programs, going to school with a talent that could
get you places was a dumb idea. In a way it is like pro athletes, when they get
picked up by a team they quit on school and go with the pro athlete life. For rappers
it is the same. These people have chosen this lifestyle and I am asking if
there is a difference between those that get an education and those that don’t
when you have an expendable talent like some of these rappers.
