Tupac went to a high class arts school:| Fail.

Although Nas did drop out in 8'th grade, he's one of the most intelligent rappers around.

aha, rappers these days are so dumb...illmatikkk

You need a high school, college and a university degree.

no, ive never heard of a really smart rapperUrbanSpartan125

You just need to pretend you were bought up in the ghetto and have 'hos'liquid_s

in rap, if you cant think of a word that rhymes, you can just make one up. and for some reason, the rap community accepts this laziness. no, i dont think you need to be smart to be a successful rapper.LoG-Sacrament

peice, 9, glock, tech, 9 [[tech 9]], gat, strap, steel, heater, heat ALL mean "gun" or "pistol" in the rap world.

dimepeice, quarterpiece *insert-coin-name-here*peice ALL mean a woman (alternatives include, but are not limited to: a *****, hoe, ho, whore, female, fe', redbone, yellowbone, *insert-color-here*bone, etc)

EDIT forgot to mention:

ice, jewelry, jewels, bling, white, shine, diamonds, grill, headlights(reffering to earrings), freezer, freeze, snow, etc ALL mean jewelry.
