As for education, I'm sure, as I do not know for sure, that certain individuals who are not as fortunate to get an education, turn to hip hop as a guiding force. Sometimes, it could even be a choice of hip hop over education. I'm not so intent on the idea that "Undoubtedly, being a successful rapper requires a high degree of entrepreneurship, intelligence, and creativity" because some artists these days are fortunate to know someone in the industry and rap about non-intellectual aspects and become famous (aka Tyga and his cousin Travis McCoy). <br /><br />Reference: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/celebrity/tyga/biography.htmlPeter Chodashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278028193497330147noreply@blogger.com
