So how many people think Yung Wun's "Tear It Up" is gonna be a big hit with marching bands this year? First thing I thought about when I heard this song was Drumline.
To note, things that deter youth from going to college...
Seeing the neighborhood men/women do their hustle and sporting themselves around with nice rims, cars and bling...
Not getting the influence or supported needed, whether it be from family or school staff.
MONEY, MONEY, MONNEEY! We can talk about taking out all kinds of loans, fin aid and looking for scholarships all we want, but some people just can't afford it no matter what.
In all honestly I use to think college was for everyone but sometimes its not. I don't see Kanye's (and I loved the CD the first time I played it. It was one of those that I just let play and didnt skip through) lyrics as positive or negative, just realistic. Like someone said who are we say whether he did or didn't have a good experience. I guess it's because I grew up seeing a lot of things his lyrics are about. (All Falls Down and We Don't Dare are my faves. I'm not really really The New Work-Out)

IMO Kanye, Bill Gates and people like them are the last things we should be blaming for our youth not going to school. Starts at home and the community.

And all my people that's drug dealin' just to get by...
Stack you're money til it gets sky high....
We weren't suppose to make it pass 25,
