I think they mean the nature and true goal of higher education is not to educate, but is singularly profit and make more and more profit each and every semester. Profit above all else but hopefully, but not nessecary whatsoever, an institution's shamefully underpaid and overworked staff has the time or energy to properly teach the next generation their area of expertise.

Higher education wants $$$ and they know the government and private corporations will issue about any 18 year old kid, fresh out of high school who has been pressued their entire childhood to either go to college or be a homeless prostitute, massive and insanely high interest "loans"

It's to take from you and burden you with debt that can't be undone, even in the event of personal bankruptcy. Why would this system give money away when they can loan it out for an abusive & permanent high interest loan that would make even a gambling addict blush?

Cage fight: Mob Deep & Mos Def vs. NWA & Snoop. Who would win?

P.s. K.L. does the halftime show for that one too.

Edit: Trick question. WuTang wins.

Aight, I checked and it's not them, but I'm def gonna give them a listen. Looks like they only had 2 albums. 10/10 hint tho.

EDIT: oh shit, the guys from "U Know Who," awesome. I'm looking for more photos of them.

The top left looks like a young Mos Def. This album came out in 1994 and his first album came out in 1997. BUT in 95', he was in this group that did an album called "Manifest Destiny." So the dates line up kinda.

*Edit: After a bit of research, Mos Def's 1st album came out in 97, not 99.

It's progress. Moolio, Schoolio, & Goolio are still on the table tho.

I used my graphics tablet and my "e"s are a little wack I guess

 

Ya'll said no stupid questions, so here it goes... I've been on a huge Coolio kick the past 6 months or so I've been listening to his albums but haven't watched any of this music videos. Tonight, I decided to smoke some weed (Not a super regular thing for me) and watch some Coolio music videos. Do any fellow 90's kids recognize any of the three other guys in the car with Coolio? If this isn't the place to ask, I'd really appreciate some direction.
