I love his song about getting degree's and how they are just paper, well you know what, Phil Knight probably went to school, got those "useless" degrees,now he get's to sign those checks that go to Micheal and friends, so I think Kanye is old news, I am hoping we all get out of this, I was a poor black kid selling drungs since age 7, F*** you, go educate yourself, Kanye was cool in my books, but now he is just a dumb rapper to me,
What Kanye says is the same thing Dr Dre said and Muhammad Ali sad in a different way. You gonna diss Dre and Ali too?
Remember when Ali said "A gold medal don't get you the front of a restaurant in Louisville"
Same S***. You gonna diss Ali now?
Degrees are just paper
means the same thing.
Degrees don't say anything about you as someone other then you got through college and whats it show? Many people got degrees and aint doin S*** with their life.
Kanye says degrees are just papers means it only means something to you but to others its just a sheet of paper and you need more going for you then a paper that just said you graduated.
Just as Ali means you need more going for you then a medal around your neck that said you won the Olympics.
Hope you get that.
In NO WAY is Kanye saying not to educate yourself ::**
He's sayin that it takes more then a diploma to be "educated"
he's talking about knowledge of life. You aint see that?
maybe because it each means different meanings. You just happened to take it the worst possible way and didn't get his message at all.
