In an interview with the NY Daily News, Roxanne Shante reiterated about Lyor’s job flipping the bill at Cornell University. After earning her PhD, cost clocked in at $217,000. Great way of pimpin’ the system Roxanne. As a college grad myself (Delaware State, what up?!), it would be a good idea for labels to provide artists with the opportunity to further their education. Afterall, dumb rappers need teaching.
Good job at posting old as news.. vh1 told me this a long ass time ago.. guess u had nothing else to write about
She said this in the first Beef documentary way back when.
…i still remember her ripping into krs and kangol…
Clearly you guys have never seen the end of Beef II where she pretty much tells the exact same story.

News is news. It’s never old. That’s why its called News. Because for those that don’t know its New to them. Hence the expression, “That’s News to Me!!”
Not everyone had, has, or have access to “Beef” so just because you saw it then means that not everyone did.
Always remember what the great dub-poet Mutabaruka said, “…The Story is still untold…”
So no matter how old its gets it must always be told. When you found out about this “a long @$$ time ago”, did you tell someone else about it? Or did you deduce to malice and kept it bundled all up inside you? I’m just asking.
Each one teach one homie! Stand upright! Relax ya mind and let your conscience be free!!
