To me, Wu Tang ceased to exist the day ODB died. Could Unified Theory have operated under the name Blind Melon without Shannon Hoon? Could Audioslave be called Rage Against the Machine without Zack de la Rocha? Could P Diddy still be called anything relevant without Biggie?

That is an absurd statement. Rap is definitely music. Nobody is selling acapella rap records, and to say that it is not music is to say producers and beat makers don't make music.

I just feel that the school knows what they are doing, and the student does not. The school is TRULY taking advantage, whereas the athlete only thinks he is taking advantage. Turning in shoddy papers and receiving passing grades is not what I would call taking advantage, because that degree is not going to be worth…

The system fails them on so many levels. If the NCAA really wants to make athletic scholarships a thing, it has to actually provide an education.

State? I just assume not Duke because they're "too good" to "recruit thugs."

Why? The education would have been worthless.

Your comment, while funny, made baby Jesus cry.

It's not funny because this dude is barely literate, it's funny because it's UNC. If this story came up in Tuscaloosa, zero people would be surprised. UNC is a school that prides itself on academics, so there's a degree of schadenfreude that comes with exposing hypocrisy.

That's a load of shit, though. The onus is not on him, because the school is facilitating this type of thing, while profiting from him.

I hate this line of reasoning because the assumption of a scholarship is that you are treated like any other student. If that is not the case, then your scholarship is worthless. The…

This is the "good" kind of racism, tho, didn't you know? KONY2012

How many of them are starters tho OHHHHH BURNNNN jkjk

Yo that is the whole point. The NCAA makes a shit ton of money on these athletes, and clearly, they are NOT getting an education. Athlete plays for school, generates revenue, gets education in return. You see how that basic contract didn't hold up?

I've seen boxed water; I think it doesn't keep as long. Not that this solution would either.

All the people referencing KRS, Run DMC, PE, etc, please stop. They might be legends, but music doesn't stand still after 30+ years.

All the people RIP'in Biggie and Tupac need to stop, too. They had classics, but they died at 24 and 25. Shit was nearly 20 years ago.

You don't have to like trash like Bieber and Tyga,…

Mostly correct, but that beat not bad.

KRS might be a legend, but he not really fucking with his successors.

It's dumb, but that's a hot beat. The rap is kinda wack.

have a seat bruh. Kool Herc beg to differ.

FAKE. If this was really Kanye, the iPad would be in front camera mode.
