Everyone’s current favorite rapper spoke to the 1515 boys about the reception of his mixtape, So Far Gone and not fitting in.
 
“I used to be so self conscious about the strikes against me like you know, coming from Canada, being on a TV show, and being like you know, super light skinned…But now, it gives me a chance to really accept that I am something different, I am something new. And now, I see it more as an opportunity to be really like, well, I don’t have to be the next ‘Ye or the next Wayne. I can just be the first Drake.”
 
YN Update: I want to make some Super Light Skinned T-shirts! Put Paul on the phone!

Killer Mike chopped it up with Morris Brown College president, Dr. Stanley Pritchett on the importance of HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities)
 
“Historically Black Colleges and Universities play a special place. A nurturing environment. A supportive environment. Something you don’t get when you’re a number versus being a person and a name. And that’s important about what our college is doing for young people.”
 
True story. Although I hate trickin’ on that bitch Sallie Mae every month, my four years at Delaware State University were worth it. I used to get it in Dover!
