2 Chainz graduated from ASU after 4 years with a 4.0 GPA

[-p.tiddy-]

and according to wikipedia he was 2nd in his class in high school...he was the Salutatorian of his high school

the guy is actually a genius

:biggums:

:wtf:

just...holy shit...that's about the last rapper I would have thought to be that book savy...the only thing that could be more shockig would be to find out ODB was a Harvard grad

I'm not sure to applaud this or condem it...lol...he is PLAYING EVERYONE and making millions :oldlol:

[L.Kizzle]

Isn't Plies very smart too?

But let's be real, what could he have made a career out of that would equal his current paycheck?

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Dude was an awesome basketball player too, just like The Game. The definition of a successful student-athlete. He's a solid rapper too :cheers:

How did you not know this Prime?

Shakira is also exceptionally brilliant.

[CelticBaller]

I'm not into him enough to know about this

I just saw a comment in YouTube someone made about how smart 2 Chainz really is and I decided to look into it and holy shit, it was true...


His lyrics are not that of a genius, that is why it is shocking to me...they are dumbed down...but now I think he purposely dumbs it down because he knows that is where the $$$ is

it's crazy to me...

[-p.tiddy-]

Why is this such a shock? You should be able to tell that he's smart (at least in the way of making music) by his songs.
IMO he has the lyrics of an 18 year old...they are anything but intelligent

:confusedshrug:


Nas has intelligent lyrics...and he is a drop out, go figure

Kesha had rock solid SAT scores too.

They have one goal in mind and that is to try to create a profit. What better way than stirring up a bunch of angry teengers and repeating a catchy "imma start a riot imma start a riot"?

she gotta big booty so i call her big booty

[fiddy]

Graduate ASU and chase a career as a clown ("rapper")? :facepalm

On a side note props to 2 Chainz

[L.Kizzle]

He was better as Tity Boi.

[iggy>]

He was better as Tity Boi.
Not really. 2 chainz is a way better name.

[Go Getter]

Not really. 2 chainz is a way better name.
Titty boi>2 Chainz.

and no, he didn't graduate from ASu with a 4.0 quit lying OP.

[L.Kizzle]

Not really. 2 chainz is a way better name.
He used to kill on Ludacris/DTP features back in the gap.

[Balla_Status]

Imagine all the white bitches he banged at ASU.

Nevermind...ASU=Arizona State University...not Alabama.

I've never heard a song by him.

[MeLO MvP 15]

nothing has ever indicated that he wasn't smart. and what to do these grades tell u?
They tell us that he's either smart or cared enough about his grades to study a lot, either of which is great for people (especially kids) to see from a rapper instead of a rapper who goes to jail or does stupid sh!t.

[L.Kizzle]

Tity Boi kills this from ten years ago on Luda's Chicken n Beer album.

4.0?

GTFO i don't believe that at all.

Where did you hear that? wikipedia? :lol

[highwhey]

Last week after my math class i was listenting to radio in my car (have small window between classes so i eat lunch quickly) one of his songs came on and i swear i heard 2 chainz say 'row echelon'- we were doing gaussian junk- turns out he just said upper echelon. I was briefly excited

[ace23]

He, like Lil B, recognized that people eat up stupidity and decided to capitalize on that fact. He's a smart man.

I don't believe the 4.0 or salutatorian shit for a second, though.

[fiddy]

Imagine all the white bitches he banged at ASU.

Nevermind...ASU=Arizona State University...not Alabama.

I've never heard a song by him.
Tauheed Epps was born September 12, 1977 in College Park, Georgia. He attended North Clayton High School with R&B singer Monica[1] and exceeded his teacher's expectations of him by finishing second in his class. He later attended Alabama State University to play basketball.

And thats pretty much it on his wiki page. Nothing mentioned about GPA or graduation.

There, do the slide show...that is where I got the thread title

Just Google it, there are others making this claim...

[Smoke117]

So people that choose to make a living in entertainment can't be smart? James Woods has a genius IQ and went to MIT. David Duchovny has a PHD in English Literature from Yale.

Yeah James Woods and David Duchovny don't claim to be real nigg@s either...

You've obviously never heard 2 Chainz music....YouTube "Birthday Song 2 Chainz" and tell me that sounds like a college grad...

A smart person would rap like how they write a thesis. You tell em.

[shaq2000]

Are you saying... he's different?

[Immortal Bum]

proof that good grades and a college degree doesn't mean ish. or perhaps...he majored in business theory, or something of that nature. same class as lil b?

[Immortal Bum]

also, are now supposed to consider his music...not stupid? simply because he may not be as stupid as his music sounds?

[-p.tiddy-]

...

Or like Nas, or GZA, or etc

Plenty of rappers that come off intellectual...tity boi is not one of them

The guy is basically wearing a Halloween costume here...


It's genius though...

[bdreason]

oh jeez 4 years at ASU, must be a genius. :oldlol:

[blablabla]

chino xl is a member of the mensa

[timlush]

Isn't this also the case with Lil Jon? Wasn't that the whole reason for the Chappelle Show skit?

[Graviton]

And George Bush graduated from Harvard, doesn't make him any less of a retard.

[OhNoTimNoSho]

Clearly theres some sort of correlation between being smart and selling records. And hes selling records.. mad records. Plus he said black diamonds apartheid in that no lie song. I had to google that.

[Take Your Lumps]

Somebody graduated from Arizona State?

[fiddy]

Somebody graduated from Arizona State?
Alabama

Most of them are fake. Game was a would be poet who walked around with a backpack of poetry books and went on TV shows to try to get into acting. Then he was "GAME" the blood down with G-Unit talking about his gangster past. And you know what - i have no issue with that IF you make good music. I think people confuse the characters these guys play with their real lives.

Of course people confuse those lines, the entire base of their music is built around how "real" they are...

And some rappers do walk the walk...
