Malice Vlog #6. This series is composed of some the most thought provoking, real-life Bible references I’ve ever witnessed. Step aside Betha!
Hip-hop artist Nas has produced No. 1 albums, performed in front of cheering crowds and had a doll made in his likeness in Japan.
But he never received his high school diploma, and yesterday he told an audience of high school students at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s annual National Keystone Conference that his goal was to get his diploma and encourage others who never graduated to do the same.
“The reality of it is, you need to keep educating yourself, and I wish I had stayed in school,” he said.
The performer, who flew into Pittsburgh early Sunday morning just to speak to the 900 students from around the country gathered at the Hilton Pittsburgh, Downtown, was speaking to the “cream of the crop,” said Frank Sanchez, the vice president for corporate and partner relationships for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
I respect it, one could oppose by saying he should have highlighted the fact that he educated himself?

“With education comes refinement,” Jay-Z observes late one Friday afternoon. He’s lounging on a couch in a studio at the Chelsea Piers Sports and Entertainment complex on the far west side of Manhattan and speaking between nibbles of a takeout salad in a plastic container and sips from a bottle of water. In his everyday speech, as in his raps, Jay-Z is inclined toward aphorisms, the compressed expression of complicated ideas, delivered with rhetorical flair. It’s hard-earned wisdom, graced by a poet’s touch.
He is relaxing after a typically jam-packed day that included a photo shoot, an interview, and a meeting about his potential involvement in a forthcoming video game. He celebrated his 39th birthday the night before with the staff of his Rocawear clothing line, so a mild fatigue has set in. Slender and six feet three inches tall, Jay-Z is an imposing figure, even in relative repose. He’s wearing distressed jeans that hang loosely from the middle of his hips, black sneakers, and a long-sleeved black T-shirt that has replaced the pristine short-sleeved white one he wore before changing for his photo shoot. The look is studiously casual…until you glance at his left wrist and notice a diamond watch so thick it could pass for a weight band.
