College Name Drops In Rap
Few rappers actually went to college but that doesn’t mean they haven’t stepped foot on a university campus or two.
From doing college shows, picking up university chicks and collegiate sports, many emcees stay somewhat familiar with the collegiate landscape.
Many colleges (for some reason or another) even show up in their rhymes every once and a while.
Here’s 10 rap name drops of institutes of higher learning.
