Everything I Need to Know About Business I Learned from Hip-Hop: A Millennial's Guide to Making Bank

by Human Country Jukebox

Overview

A whole generation of Americans has grown up with rap music and Hip-Hop culture, but apart from entertainment television, specialty broadcasting, or a brief mention in the mainstream media, Hip-Hop was viewed in large part as merely an interesting subculture. The stories of Hip-Hop giants like Drake, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Young Money, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Macklemore, Eminem, P Diddy, Ice T, and more keep us riveted. Their artistic talent, personal style, and raw star-power have fans spending millions, and Everything I Need to Know about Business I Learned from Hip-Hop looks at those same stories through a different lens to share their business lessons. It can be your guide to making bank!
