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!

Cam tells the 1515 boys, that despite going to college, he never graduated high school.

“I went to college and didn’t graduate from high school. I got to

college and my coach brought the GED to my room like, ‘Here, you

graduated, congratulations.’ Even though it’s a junior college … I

never took my SATs coming out of high school. I was playing basketball

and this junior college wanted me to come down and play basketball.

When I got there, my GED was sitting on the bed waiting for me. I never

took a test or anything.” 

Amazing. *Shreds High School diploma*
