Ghetto University

July 23, 2010  |  Registration

The word university is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, roughly meaning “community of teachers and scholars.” A ghetto is now described as an overcrowded urban area often associated with a specific ethnic or racial population; especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure…

History, meaning “inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation” is the study of the human past. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events.

Traditionally, historians have recorded events of the past, either in writing or by passing on an oral tradition, and have attempted to answer historical questions through the study of written documents and oral accounts. I was first introduced to “labels” through Kim’s music in ’96. Her dominating presence I always admired. She taught you how to get what you want. Period.

    I guess she is talented. Although I personal don’t think it take much intelligence or skill to be a rapper. Not a big fan of music that continually broadcasts everything that wrong with society. Most of them don’t even have a college education so why are they(rappers) taken seriously?

      You must not be a fan of music at all then because so much social commentary is done through music – including rock (like Bruce Springstein), calypso, reggae, blues, country etc. I’d go so far as to say that music as social commentary is the thinking man’s music… no? There are college courses offered on hip-hop btw, so there must be something to it. Not that you have to like it… and not for nothin’. Ignorance is bliss tho, so go on and Bieber it up.
      Btw, G.W. Bush has advanced degrees, doesn’t he?

    You don’t have to have a degree to be taken serious–or have a voice.

    Tons of the richest most smartest have no degree but a BIG VOICE.

    Should I take you seriously because you said “Although I personal don’t think”….

    I personal?

    Educated people don’t talk like that.

    Well we know who your rooting for in this ongoing beef. She was hot back then but instead of treating herself as a legend she decides to throw salt on the next bishes game. Lil Kim lost all cool points for starting beef with someone fresh out the oven……next

    I don’t eat beef ;)

    And I’m not rooting for anyone, this has nothing to do with petty chit chatter.

    “I was first introduced to “labels” through Kim’s music in ‘96. Her dominating presence I always admired. She taught you how to get what you want. Period.”

    See, no beef.

    She Might not have a college degree, but I’ll keep it straight like “nine fifteen”, she is a legend. Bill Gates has no degree, yet you write you collegiate dissertation on Microsoft Word; calculate payroll on EXCEL and your collegiate presentations on POWER POINT ?

    So, when did this conversation suddenly turn “Minaj”? I don’t recall reading the words Harajuku, Barbie, etc. in this post. I could have sworn the top, and bottom, of this page said “LateBoots” meaning Phif can state his facts. Cut the dramatics, plz. Give the queen what is due because that is honestly what the whole Jones v. Maraj situation was about. Thankx, happy posting. ;)

    What a wonderful write-up! I have no clue how you came up with this post..it’d take me long hours. Well worth it though, I’d assume. Have you considered selling banners on your blog?

    Thanks for the a new challenge you have disclosed in your blog post. One thing I’d like to reply to is that FSBO associations are built with time. By releasing yourself to the owners the first end of the week their FSBO will be announced, prior to masses get started calling on Thursday, you produce a good interconnection. By mailing them methods, educational components, free accounts, and forms, you become a strong ally. By taking a personal curiosity about them and also their problem, you make a solid connection that, oftentimes, pays off when the owners opt with a broker they know as well as trust – preferably you actually.
