College is a rip-off


Anybody who has ever been to a four year college knows it’s not supposed to be easy. You’re not supposed to just get by; you’re supposed to spend hours studying and go to class because you are the best this society has to offer (or at least that’s the bullshit we feed ourselves). We know it’ll be expensive and we all plan on being done with our undergrad degree in the planned four years.
But that doesn’t happen.
I don’t know anybody who can graduate in four years. Well at least not without Summer school.   Four year universities don’t exist anymore, but there are plenty of five year schools.
How come? Surely majority of people who go thru those big school house doors don’t fail that many classes to hold them back. Some of them do but everybody has their fuck ups. There has to be another reason…and I think I found it.
The reason it takes so long to graduate is all the unnecessary classes students are forced to take.
Why does a pre-med major need to take British lit? Why does a TV broadcasting major need so many semesters of science credits? What the hell does science have to do with TV? I know what you’re thinking “People need to be well rounded and know something about multiple subjects.”  That’s true but that’s what high school is for. When you go to college you want to focus on what you’re going to do for the rest of your life. If I wanted to know about different rock formations I’d sign up for the class on my own don’t force me to take it. Kids nowadays have to take just as many hours out of their major as they do in their major. That shit cray!  And it’s a waste of time and money. I don’t give two craps if the lawyer defending me doesn’t know how the slave revolt of 1712 affected upper class whites in New York. But he sure as hell better know how to keep my black ass outta jail!
I would rather be a master of my craft than a jack of all trades master of none.
Schools just want your money. The longer you stay the more you have to pay. They couldn’t have most of their tuition checks…I mean students leaving in two or three years.  Gotta squeeze every penny they can out of ‘em. Make us take a ton of useless classes =in school forever. Let us just take our major classes =done in a couple years. True there are thousands of two year schools out there but they don’t offer as many majors as the four years. Also, those two years don’t have the same respect in the job market.  
So we’re doomed. We can either pay a ton of cash for 4-5 years to take a bunch of classes filled with information we’ll never use just to fulfill a credit or we can go to a two year school and get a degree that won’t hold as much weight.  I didn’t go to college to get an education; I went to get a job. If I wanted to learn about subjects that span the universe I’ll go to the public library. I want to be the best at what I chose to do and I’ll take two or three years of training in just my profession over random math classes. 
There has to be a solution to this problem. I wouldn’t have addressed the problem if I didn’t already have a way to fix it.
Schools should start letting students choose different plans. Some people don’t mind taking as many classes as they can. So let them. They can have their math112 and their history 319 and all that. But let people who want to get in and out as soon as possible do that. No need to keep people there longer than they need to be…but then of course they wouldn’t get their checks.

This Shit Cray


Had a cray ass dream. Me and my boy were finna go to Mississippi for this party so he's driving and he stops payin attention and drives off the top level of the interstate and we fell thru the air and landed on the lower level with cars headed towards us. We swerved and missed the cars and kept driving. But now we're late so we take a shortcut thru a restaurant so we driving thru the restaurant and i realize we in Florida. So we get out the car and all of a sudden we got like 200 bitches trying to kill us. They're chasing us and had machetes on some Kill Bill Quienton Tarentino type ish. We were tossin them hoes all over the beach parking lot. This one chick nicked me on the top of my head and the other chick was about to chop my head off with an ax but I threw a knife thru her neck and deaded her. So I start running to my car and my homeboy who in the middle of fighting toss me the keys like im antonio gate running a crossing route over the middle but it's so many girls trying to kill me that I can't open the door. Finally fight enough off to get in the car and my boy jumps in and I floor it and drive thru big wooden trees and poles to get away. Then I wake up and the top of my head hurt where the bytch nicked me and my whole left side hurt like i got stomped out.

Why the NCAA Works


If Rick James is a Miami Hurricane fan right now he’s singing “You Dropped the Bomb on Me” cause that’s exactly what Yahoo did. This is just the beginning of The U’s possible death penalty sentence, and as they await their time on death row the good ole well discussed question will be brought up: Should college athletes get paid?
Let’s get this out the way first…somebody is paying some player on your team. Don’t be naïve and think that your program is clean.  They’re not, no one is. Their dirt just isn’t as deep as the next teams. Even players on garbage ass teams in the WAC are getting dough. Is it as much as players at  big time schools, of course not, but they get the hundred dollar handshakes and free meals. Want to know why? Because every school has at least one booster who will reward a player for making his alma mater look good.
With that being said should the NCAA make it legal for these football players to be paid? Absolutely not!
These cats ain’t struggling, don’t let them fool you. Free meals, free books, free housing, free clothes and shoes, free thousand dollar educations. That’s a lot of free. But they don’t have pocket money, yet half the team has a new car. These dudes are living the life. It’s a life they signed up for. No one is forcing them to play. They cannot play and take out loans like everyone else if an education and some pocket change means that much to them.
On to the schools….
Not every sports program in the NCAA makes a profit. Even if the football and basketball program do make a ton of money ( which it does at certain powerhouses but not everywhere) they have to give that money to the track program and the baseball team and all the other sports that don’t generate money so that they are able to stay afloat.  So a lot of schools don’t even have the money to pay these guys after paying for every other sport.
And oh yes that includes women’s sports too. There’s this little thing called Title IX basically saying women and men have to be equal. If there are 6 men’s teams there have to be 6 women’s. If men get paid women get paid….HOL UP, HOL UP, HOL THE HELL UP!!!! You mean we’d have to pay those chicks? The chicks that can’t fill a high school gym let alone an arena. The same chicks who only garner attention if they happen to be cute or freakishly tall. The same chicks that can’t generate any revenue. Yes my friend they’d get a check too. Do they deserve a check? I dare you to say yes with a straight face. If it was up to most schools they would axe women’s sports altogether so do you really think they’d want to pay the girls’ team the same as the boys. Nah homie ain’t happening.
You know what…Screw them! If your sport generates dough then you’re getting paid. Trent Richardson come get your check I know you got kids to feed. LaMichael James here’s some for you, spend it wisely. Michael Dyer do you want a Chevy or Cadillac? Ya’ll earned  your thousands dollar game check congratulations. Steven Clark, Cody Parkey here’s your thousand dollar game check too. Wait a minute who? Who in the hell are they and why are they getting the same as these All-Americans? They were the backup kickers on the Auburn National Championship team. Did they contribute to the team? Yep Cody put in a whopping 2 extra points last year and my boy Steve showed out real nicely punting the ball 9 times in 5 games (which I’m guessing their starter was hurt). Cam Newton, Nick Fairly and them all get the same amount for the entire season because things have to be on an equal playing field. Everybody has to get paid the same.
But that’s not fair you should get out what you put in. Alright then forget those back up kickers they ain’t shit. Let’s give the money to the people who earned it. Let them get endorsements and be able to openly sell their jerseys like my boy AJ Green did. C’mon dude that was ridiculous it was his jersey for crying out loud. He can’t even make money on something that’s his?!! That’s some bull shit!!! NCAA videogames, numbered jerseys without names on the back; the NCAA profits off all of that and a brotha can’t sell his own jersey to make some dough on the side.
Nope. Do people realize how big of a clusterf*ck that would become if players could make money off their image while in college. Phil Knight would have row after row after row of merchandise with Oregon player’s faces plastered all over it. Would he give the same treatment other Nike sponsored school’s players I doubt it.  Those Cliff Harris sneakers are gonna be fly tho; the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 top recruits in the country are going to get their own line of shoes just like it. He’s Phil Knight, he owns Nike he can make it happen. He can promise any recruit in the nation whatever shoe, shirt, clothing item he wants and they’d still have the swoosh so they wouldn’t have to tape over anything (word to MJ’s son who’s school rocks Addidas). Yes other schools have billionaire boosters too, Oklahoma St. has T. Boone Pickens and they can’t even win their conference. But I bet he’d openly pay the top talent in the country each year to play in Stillwater.
What about the coaches? I see Nick Saban, Mark Richt, and Gene Chizik all in truck commercials. How come they make millions and get endorsements but the players get nothing? That’s their job. That’s the same as asking “How come professors get paid but the students who go to class don’t?” It is their job to teach as it is a coach’s job to coach. The best professors get paid the most; the best coaches get paid the most. Simple as that.
Now if you’re still reading this you’re probably saying to yourself “It’s still not fair. Why can’t they just legalize it?” What would be the point? It makes no sense to legalize it and turn college sports into the wild wild west with no rules and regulation. It would create more problems than it would solve. The best thing for the NCAA to do is leave things just as they are. Schools are going to cheat anyway they can’t stop that.  They let you cheat all you want but the one thing is you can’t get caught. Realistically the system that’s in place now it works. It really truly works. Essentially people are getting what they want and don’t realize it.  When they argue for paying players they are talking about the best players on the most important teams. They don’t care about the backup swimmer (is there  such a thing?) on the girls’ swimming team at Ball State. They care about the star QB and receiver, the power forward who puts up 25 and 11. Those are the ones who people want to see get paid and those are the ones getting paid. When it comes to the NCAA and paying players there’s only one rule: it’s not don’t do it; it’s don’t let us catch you.

A Message to White People

White people I’m going to say this one time and one time only: STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM RAP AND HIP-HOP!
If you want to buy a CD or use iTunes (do black people even use itunes to buy music?) and plug your headphones in and listen to rap and hiphop that’s perfectly fine with me.
But the second you start rapping along or think you can rap yourself is the second I immediately hate you and want to punch you in the face.
Don’t rap, don’t write lyrics, don’t try to make beats, don’t try to dress like us.
Because when you do this is the result:


White people stop ruining every fucking thing that blacks do and stick to your own wack ass off beat ass culture and identity.  This is an embarrassment to rap. Right between Lil’ B and Soulja Boy.
It’s a shame that I go to school with these bitches and if I see one of these hoes in this video I’m pushing them into oncoming traffic.
