Love it or hate it, mostly hate it, BILLY X. SUNDAY + XXL Mag Dot Com = that shit. No, really.

I’m going in again on my cousins at King magazine for their photo article on your favorite rapper, Lil’ Wang. Dude talks about going BACK to school. Didn’t Wang sign to Cash Money Records when he was 9yrs old? Dude dropped out of grammar school to become a rapper? So when Wang talks about going BACK to school he is talking about going back into fourth grade or some shit. I can see Wang sitting at the baby desks with all the other fourth graders while he gets them high off Elmer’s glue. Wang got an ‘A’ for his macaroni and glitter portrait of Trina.

Someone on these threads said Wang was in college now. How does a nigga skip all of them grades and still get admitted to college? This is why you can’t trust a degree from any school south of the Mason- Dixon line. Niggas get admitted to college just on the strength of there being nothing else to do but hang out in parking lots. You can’t tell me Wang has completed the accreditation required to enter a college. How convenient for him that all paper records in New Orleans were washed away when that Black bitch of a hurricane came to town.

Okay, so fine, Wang goes to the University of Houston or some shit. The reason he choose the U of H instead of Tulane or LSU was because (his words) he likes to hang out a lot in Houston. I suppose I shouldn’t knock him too much for this since it is kind of futuristic to go to a college close to where you cop your weed from. Why make your weedcarrier cross state lines when you can just set up shop in his town? I did find it odd that Lil’ Wang tells us in the King magazine that going back to school has helped him add a swagger to his wardrobe.

King Mag – “Wang, what did you learn in school?”
Wang – “That Baby loves me when I wear tight t-shirts”
King Mag – “Anything else?”
Wang – “Yeah. Baby loves me when I don’t wear no t-shirts.”

I don’t think it’s simply enough for a rapper to go to school in order for that act to influence younger people. If a rapper says he went to school because that is where all the people are that wear $300 dollar jeans it still rings hollow and it won’t be enough to make someone stay in school.

We can assume that Young Money’s number one representative isn’t going to school to make more money. He may be going to college now to help himself become a more complete person. Why doesn’t he think his audience deserves raps about self-empowerment and the journey to enlightenment. Not through narcotics, but through a focused work ethic and studying. If you’re a Lil’ Wang stayne you deserve more than what you have been given. The question is whether or not you know that.

Master P’s son is just now going to college?!? Do you remember the rap feud that Lil’ Romeo had with Lil’ Bow Wow? I though these lil’ jigs were the same age. It turns out that Lil’ Bow Wow is damn near thirty. I think he has that shit with his kidneys that homeboy from the television show ‘Webster’ had. I’m embarrassed now for Bow Wow that he has been messing around with all these underage chicks and his ass was old enough to be their father. You know Jermaine Dupri is like sixty years old right? Homeboy sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber that NASA built especially for Dracula. Tell me when you have ever seen Jermaine out during sunlight? Exactly.

Although Lil’ Romeo will get to play ball alongside O.J. Mayo[ll], I may have to give the back to School trend edge to my nemesis Lil’ Wang. I think he and Karinne Steffans are sharing an off campus apartment together while they major in Psychology.
