Please i’d rather listen at George Bush. Now thats some schooling for your ass. If he has a college degree in physcology he must have got it out of a box of cracker jacks. Whatever school gave it to him i’m sure is a school full of std’s

hes a drop out tho in high school which is why he got a ged not a diploma and then went to college when his solo career wasnt doing well and dropped out after he dropped the carter i think because his career was taking off
So he should have not been included in this when its a well known fact hes a dummy and a drop out

Props for putting out a positive message for once. It would be great if he would use his celebrity for a Just say no to drugs campaign too.

@27 LADY LOVE”Believe it or not lil wayne is actually quite smart lol.
Yes he has done some things that were not so smart but haven’t we all? I could name about 6 or 7 dumb things I did just this week alone.”
…ummmm okay with that comment it’s 8…
and @40 STYLEGURU”Lil Wayne has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology
….even though he comes off as not being the brightest bulb in the bunch, he’s pretty intelligent.”
…(sigh)….just because you have knowledge of a subject or a degree it means SH*T if it ain’t applied in a positive way. If i went and got a bachelors degree in 5 different areas then i got knocked up back to back 5 times with five different men…am i smart? would you want me to be a spokesperson for you, your kids, your f*ckin dog? It’s saying you can smoke/get high, drink, and have sex with as many people as possible PUBLICLY…but as long as you stay in school….it’s iiight
