TI'm sorry he feels intimidated because he looks like a third worlder. And actually a lot of light skinned black people have their degrees and are famous hollywood stars like T.I,. Phaedra parks, Russel Simmons, Will Smith some got their degrees and some did not. Fact being kanye was never my favorite rapper, he will never be more successful than any of the people i listed above me and he will always be dark skinned even though he wants to be light.
you get that associate's degree ok..., THEN YOU GET YOUR BACHELORS THEN YOU GET YOUR MASTERS THEN YOU GET YOUR MASTER'S MASTER, THEN YOU GET YOUR DOCTORATE, YOU GO MAN!
@abankstale yea but.. what i don't like about it is that.. i have a feeling he wrote that just because he dropped out. you know, he says "pff whatever i don't need this shit"
I'm sure many niggers and I only use that term to refer to the stereotypical black person thinks like this. That's why they're still in the hood and will be for all eternity unless something changes.
@abankstale actually he is just making the point that having a degree doesn't mean that you will get the job you want, it doesn't even mean that you are SKILLED in the field that you want to work in. It just means that your dumb ass showed up to class, did all the homework, passed a bunch of useless tests, and paid all that money to get a piece of paper just to say "HEY LOOK I GRADUATED!" then go work a meaningless job that a high school kid could get.(ex the gap). Traditional college is useless

The skits in the College Dropout album is trying to express how a college degree calls for a lot of money, energy, and time...but in most cases many people end up not being able to use their degrees due to not finding a job or because of being laid off or fired. This then leaves that person who believes that they are so smart and prosperous having to deal with not having a job and, depending on their situation, loans and debt from college that they have yet to pay off. And in addition to time
College is a scam. It's a way for academics and banks to make money and a way for company managers to look better by saying the only hire people with degrees. 4 years of school 40,000 of debt for an extra 4 dollars an hour. But I plan on getting mine anyway. It's a promise I made to my mother. To get..."those degrees".
That's right kids! Forget about school, just take a job as janitor when you turn 16 and laugh at all those silly doctors and lawyers! They are the "real" losers in life.
@Wushuki Or you can start a business like college drop out Bill Gates did and be the most sucessful person in the world or get a job in law enforcement and make more than your buddies that went to school and got degrees all without paying the college debt.
@errbarkkill That is exactly what all 40 year old janitors thought when they left school at 16: "I am gonna be like Bill Gates!"
The fact of the matter is that Kanye West isn't saying this because he seriously investigated the issue. He says it because he and his fans are entirely uneducated and need to rationalize to themselves that they are not as big as losers as everyone thinks they are. Hence they come up with unsupported nonsense like this.
@Wushuki Not really though. Kanye west is actually college educated, he just didn't finish, like many people who went to college. He's just making fun of the fact of the situation of the day, that so many college grads can't find work. People with masters degrees are getting laid off. He's making light of the prestige of having a degree. Not all people can have degrees. There are jobs and career fields that are promising and don't require degrees. And the same for those with degrees.
I dissagree! I have a Masters in Business, and i am making 300,000 a year and I am only 45. I have a good family, and a great life. Kanye is an idiot! He has no idea what it is like to go through college for many years! Kids listening to this, don't. Get your degree! You will be so much better off in life.
@marcinkiewicz12345 well $300,000 is still not a milestone for some people, that may not be alot of cash in some states but kanye found somthing that works in his talents to make a million(s) as you found a way to make a quarter million(s)
I dnt feel that you can say that these skits are dumb. kanye is expressing himself as an artist, and the shit that he went through in college. But in all honesty he is right.
This is simply Kanye trying to justify dropping out of college, which is completely stupid. He's even trying to say that a PhD is worthless. This cd is awesome, but these skits are a major flaw with their screwed up message... lol
@darkdazh actually he is just making the point that having a degree doesnt mean that you will get the job you want, it doesn't even mean that you are SKILLED in the field that you want to work in. It just means that your dumb ass showed up to class, did all the homework, passed a bunch of useless tests, and paid all that money to get a piece of paper just to say "HEY LOOK I GRADUATED!" then go work a meaningless job that a high school kid could get.(ex the gap).Traditional college is useless
By the way, most of those doctors came out of medical schools with 300,000 to half million dollars debts and they had to study their ass off for around 8 to 10 years to be in huge debts.
Most of ppl with higher education came out with huge debts.
People with law degrees had to work for free cuz too many lawyers in this country.
If you see the average income curve, people with Ph.D. usually makes less than with with Master's of something degree.
Kanye West is right. There are lot of people in my university being very cocky thinking they are so smart, and look down on ppl who went to easier universities.
Only 19% of newly grads this year got a job with a bachelor's degree. Most of my friends went straight back home to their mama's house with their engineering or biology degree cuz they were only book smart and couldn't hussle in real world.
My point is.. Kanye West is right! It's about how u hussle not all about being book smart.
When he got in a car accident and had to go to the hospital who took care of him? Oh that's right, doctors... with DEGREES. I just lost so much respect for Kanye. He's an incredible hiphop artist, but to undermine people who chose different career paths than he did is simply ridiculous. Only a small percentage of people succeed in the entertainment industry like Kanye. The rest need to rely on degrees, you can't magically be born with the knowledge of how to be a doctor, lawyer, accountant,etc.
Well you know Kanye started in the university first,but he didnt made it....i think he was lazy...but you can see that it occupate him alot...he talk about his college carrer in almost every album...think he would have been proud if he had made it.but fact is that if you re a college dropout you re seen as some kind of "looser".and this cant be right.the society often gives you the impresion that if you didnt went to college you re nobody.i think thats what he critisize...and he also
critisize those who loose their aims when they first started their study.they forget that they did this to get a job;imagine how much worser it is somebody acting like that although he\she is already a parent....since its education its hard to talk about it in a negative way,but education can also be something that holds you away from real life.for example my math professor.people say hes the third best in the country,he makes alot of cash,but dont use it.all he lives for is to get nobel prize
You know I would love to take seriously and I bet you have a lot of insightful things to say, but it's hard when I can barely decipher what you're writing to me. If English is not your first language, I apologize. If it is, I feel sorry for you.
lol...no English is not my first language...sorry but i just didnt want to right so much so i shorted it up...by the way,i hope you read the comments in the right order...you know that one on the low comes first...starts with "Well..."
so you really didnt get a single idea...?or are you just one of the internet flashers who loves to corresct peoples grammar..?
That's pretty funny. Through the wire is one of my favorite tracks though. The truth is no matter what philosophy you live by the creme will rise to the top. Kanye and the doctors who operated on him all made it. People who write comments on youtube pages like us probley won't make it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL these are the mediocre ideas from mediocre people. Sure kanye, thank God you were lucky enough to be a failure at everything other than shitty rapping, and thank your lucky stars that mediocre people like you have absolutely no taste in decent music, and enjoy your BS. Because if it wasn't for the sheep that waste their money on you, you'd be absolutely nothing. Consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky.
lpycb42 nice post... Unfortunately you are wrong... Kanye West was not lucky at all. He's skilled at hip hop. Why does he make more money then most hip hop artists? Because he's better then most hip hop artists. He stuck with it, he didnt give up. Kanye west isnt a mediocre person. Hes a shark at music, and the people buying his music are the fish... And in case you were wondering... The primary reason college was created was just another way to make money. you think teachers would offer 4 free?
