Take note of the fancy clothes, jewelry, and shoes everyone is wearing, the fancy cars and corporate jets everyone is hanging around, the stacks hundred dollar bills, expensive audiophile equipment, and weapons on the table, the mansions and office towers in the background.<br />You will own exactly none of the stuff you imagined if you get a law degree and concentrate on hip hop law. Your net worth will be negative and you will be poorer than the grips and extras working on those videos.<br /><br />Also think about the situations your favorite rapper talks about in his songs; pulling up to the club in a Maserati, ordering bottles of Rothschild or Louis XIII, hanging around with beautiful women, expensive vacations, being involved in distribution across the Atlantic, going platinum, getting mad money.<br />You will not do any of that stuff, instead you will be working part time at the club as security, taking orders for lattes or burgers, hanging with bastards who will not pay $100 for a court appearance, be involved with low level drug sales, going broke, and getting very little money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-11006178291145718972015-11-08T23:02:54.438-07:002015-11-08T23:02:54.438-07:00I'm foreseeing an intersectional law review pa...I'm foreseeing an intersectional law review paper coming up:<br /><br />"Hip Hop and the Open Road"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-87169194509249931192015-11-08T18:42:52.864-07:002015-11-08T18:42:52.864-07:00I wonder how many of these terms are used in legal...I wonder how many of these terms are used in legal practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-84186766089089825042015-11-08T17:44:24.213-07:002015-11-08T17:44:24.213-07:00Does anyone remember Bullshit Bingo?
