Didn't Tajai go to Stanford?
UNLV: Suge Knight
which reminds me that Lauryn Hill went to Columbia.
Louis Logic and Chops (Mountain Brothers) = Penn State
FAMU: Common
And The College Boyz probably count.
Although he's technically a DJ, not a rapper.
Ah. He even calls himself a Wildcat, so I was confused.
he went to some technical school in arizona
and in other Pete Nice news...
