How many of these so called "conscious" rappers are college graduates?

[Average Coli Poster]

I know a couple of old school one's are. But how bout the newer cats.

Ab-Soul?


Hopsin?

Immortal Technique?

Kweli?

Mos Def?

Lupe Fiasco


I know Lil Wayne got his degree , think Rozay got one too , E-40 as well

Oh and before ya say Kweli went to NYU. Experimental Theatre dont fukking count , and I think he dropped out his second year anyway

 

[Flay Mayweather]

Shaq got his doctorates

 

[L&HH]

2chainz and Plies might have degrees as well

 

[atlbound]

Plies is a male nurse/ thug

 

[Lebron Johnson]

when 2 chains was in school, bytch, money was the subject

 

[Average Coli Poster]

Cam and Mase went off to college as well. Saw more money in the rap game and made they moves

 

[How Sway?]

I'd rather have plies or 2chainz help me file my taxes than Nas or Mos Def

 

[DaveyDave]

Hopsin and Ab Soul are conscious MCs?

 

[King Biko]

Being conscience is about having knowledge of self, can't learn that at school but I don't knock nikkas for getting degrees.

 

[OG Talk]

Becoming a rapper conscious or not, seems like a waste of a college degree...

 

[Yoda]

Hopsin and Ab Soul are conscious MCs?

have you even ever heard Ab Souls music?

 

[DaveyDave]

have you even ever heard Ab Souls music?

Of course I have. I wouldn't call him a conscious rapper in the same way Kweli, Common and Mos Def are tho would you? There's more then gangsta and conscious out there

 

[Long Live The Kane]

What's the relevance? It's not like most college graduates now a days are going to school and receiving some kind of classical education that makes them wise and worldly individuals...shyt is glorified vocational training and social engineering...nothing about an accounting degree is gonna make you more "conscious" in the context of rap...and nothing that the average "conscious rapper" is rapping about requires some specialized expertise that can only be obtained from advanced schooling

 

[Harry B]

Cole World no snuggie

The only dude who actually graduated from a good university with a good degree is however R Les? Hardly conscious though.
